I know this discussion probably has been done before, but last night the issue of "How far can you go with Multiplayer politics?" really reared it's ugly head.
Four players (amongst them Jorael and myself) were playing a chaos casual game, with one playing a Dwarf deck (lets call him player A), Jorael playing a "land-recursion" deck, player B playing a white-equipment deck and me playing my WGB creature-enchantment deck. Both Jorael and me are controlling forests and Player A has two Dwarven Grunts on the table (1/1 mountainwalk).
Player B casts an Isochron Scepter and imprints a Mind Bend, usually used to bend the protection of his White Knights or bend his Karma.
Player A plays his Dwarven Bloodboiler, but has no way to make one of his 5 dwarves unblockable so he passes the turn to Jorael. Before player B takes his turn, Player A remarks that its "too bad" no one is playing mountains. Player B agrees, but doesn't get the hint. Then Player A just out right askes him if he could bend one of the Grunts to Forestwalk.
Jorael and I object to the severe lack of subtle politics, but Player B complies. It is a good play for him; he just didn't think of it.
In my turn I play a Questing Pheldagrif (hippolictics).
Player A takes the turn and sends the Grunt my way and I take 11 damage. I'm at three. At the end of Player B's turn, i decide to turn all my mana into usefull stuff for Jorael, so that he may have a chance when I'm dead and the dwarves are headed his way. I give him some life, some cards and two Hippo tokens.
Player A takes his turn and charges in my direction. Jorael plays a Constant Mists. All of sudden, "teams" have been formed, but Jorael is still my opponent. I live, Jorael takes the turn and plays an Attrition. I give him a lot of hippos and Player B is out of creatures.
During my turn I manage to flip my Kitsune Mystic by playing a Armadilla Cloak. Now I'm able to move it and my Unquestioned Authority around. After a round of Constant Mists and severe moving around of Authority, Player A is sufficiently disgusted and scoops.
Jorael offers me a draw and I accept.
After this, player A announces that he's done for the evening and leaves. I feel kinda bad about this, but I kinda feel he had it coming.. right?
