alliances used to use
FOP full offensive pact, not very common and usually not owned up to
FAP full alliance pact, theoretically fop and fdp, but sometimes used as another higher level version of fdp to give an excuse for screwing an fdp
FDP+, similar to FAP without the offensive connotations
everything unap and above is usually considered unbreakable but of course it depends with who you are pacting
its bad for to war any defensive pacts or unaps but warring naps is fine
just by preference get into the war through an ally request rather than grabbing them or doing something like refusing to pay reps
never heard of CF as a pact, id consider the cease fire to be a temporary thing you do while at war on christmas day for example, or while discussing ending the war, but when on CF you should set the other tag to DNH
i believe its common to mark some groups as will retal or can retal so that your guys dont lose land to them
and also to mark groups you want to grab but will cause you risk of war or suiciding as dont farm or overgrab, sometimes no more than a doubletap, in alliance terms thats a max of 2 hits by any one country in your tag on that tag, or a max of 2 hits on any one country in that tag per 24 hours, also sometimes a more restrictive version is max of 2 hits per tag per 24 hours, could be called do not farm
im not really up on how ffa considers multiple grabs but in my mind if its obvious the same player grabs your tag multiple times per 24 hours then it qualifies for escalating retals
gets a bit murky depending on obvious strings, consecutive numbers, alliances, same strat, same name, time of play, one man tags and what not
