What can one learn about this scenario, please tell me? Other than 'dont join games with Ermor and lots of noobs'? Diplomacy DOES NOT WORK in such situations. Believe me, I tried hard. You already wrote the reasons why it doesnt work, as Quitty did before you.
'Other people' and 'me'. Well, well. Did you, per chance, play DotA in WCIII? Good players tend to play in closed, or semi-closed, leagues - because playing with leavers and feeders who compose majority of public games is just not fun. So there should either be some rules, like 'dont play vassal to another player least you break game balance', in order for the games to be competitive and enjoyable for all, not just these allying players, or there should be closed games, black lists etc.
Or, you know, I can make a couple of alts and start joining games to ruin them in some way or another, mimicing SciencePro. I doubt anyone would like it.
And how should I encourage said noob whp backstabs me belching nonsense while I try to fight a grown LA Ermor?
As for coordinated alliance against Ermor really isn't that bright move', you see, alternative is 'just lose'. This game is a perfect illustration; its like sitting on a time bomb. You can try to diffuse it, as costly as it may be, or just wait till it blows up and you all die.
I dont have a problem with LA Ermor by itself. I dont have a problem with players rolling over noobs by themselves. There's a problem with one particular scenario - LA Ermor rolls over noobs, who get scared and do nothing about him. Its an assured victory for Ermor, and a guaranteed loss to whoever is unfortunate enough to respawn too far from him. Especially when said noobs actually ally with him and start helping him win actively.
I am all up for ending the drama and playing, but every second turn somebody starts the 'lets end the game' theme again.
