Possible or Not?

[Alucard]

Ok here's a scenario.. and I wonder if some people would do this.... every empire has a common enemy...

The Terran hate the NC
The Vanu hate the NC

The NC hate the Terran
The Vanu hate the Terran

The Terran hate the Vanu
The NC hate the Vanu

With this said.... say there is a battle going on... and the NC have a very strategical position. It could mean trouble for both the Terran and the Vanu. Would each empire be willing to work together in that spot to try and take the NC out?

This will happen alot more then people think. Xteaming is very common in DAoC and some FPS's.

[Kyonye]

its empire against empire against empire. It is possible but i ghigly doubt it it.

[txMaddog]

I wouldn't mind fighting beside the NC (our freedom loving, if misguided, brothers-in-arms) against the tyrannical TR, at least while our goals are the same.

[Alucard]

I would team up with another empire to reach a common goal.... and for all you NC members out there... this is not an attack against you.. I just used you as an example...

[chopstickz]

Could be tricky. Especially with the knowledge that once you had achived that common goal they would turn against you and you'd be back to square one, competing for the strategical position.

[Alucard]

true... but that would be fun,

I would not be inclined to go along with a cooperative operation with another empire. However, I would probably pass up shots of opportunity on a specific empire if the other is dominating and I'm on my way to an objective.

^yes

oh ya, there will be times where 2 small groups are back into a corner by a large army from the 3rd parts, and decide to have a cease fire till they dig their way out again. Say a small NC group and a small terrain group were besieged by a large vanu group, I would have no problem saving my rounds for the vanu. Once the vanu were taken care of, then sure, go after the TR group once we declare the cease fire to be off. I can see this happening a lot between vet outfits. Less with the wonders of noobness but yes, I do see this happening at least enough to well.... be almost common!

The enemy of your enemy is my friend!

Don�t worry, we NC take it as a complement, we know that it will take a combined effort to have a chance of taking us down

[NeoTassadar]

I would not actively help another side, but a 30 minute or so cease-fire with one empire (cough...NC...cough) would be in order in some situations. Although I will not do this much as I HATE constant double-teaming.

[Hamma]

Possible, yes, will it happen? Probably.

However it wont be possible via in game methods. Such pacts would need to be made outside the game.

hmm, i think this will definatly happen once in a while, but it would be hard cus as far as i know theres no way to talk to let the enimy know theres a cease fire. I for one, would be pissed off if i came around a corner and saw supposed "friends" durring a cease fire, and didn't fire, just to have them blow my head off

[SpartonX]

I agree with airlift
