Okay, let us assume you want to attack me to kill.  We are cooperative.  You
unsheath your sword and cahrge me.  I say "exsqueeze me, let me move this breast
plate out of the way so you can go straight for the vitals."  Or, you attack to
capture me, and as a cooperative person toward you, I say "Hey, chill out dude,
here is my stuff and I will gladly (cooperatively) do anything you ask."  Or,
here is my favorite, you attack for booty, and I say "Here is my wallet, my
loose change, my VISA card, and in fact, since I am cooperative here, let's
walk down to the First Provincial Bankk of Kircarth and I will with draw my
savings, and sign over all of my deeds and insurance policies."

PLAYABILITY MUST NOT BE SACRIFICED!!!

Steve, Steve, Steve.  When someone is attacked, the do not willingly cooperate,
they capitulate.  And so for playabilities sake, if you attack anyone in an
alliance (a stack is a weak alliance), you attack them ALL.

Therefore I must concur with Rich, who currently has it working this way.

Now on the other hand, You and I are in full agreement of the assassin skill.  This would be most intriguing.
