In the game of Diplomacy, “flipping the bit” is a legitimate strategy. “Cheating” is allowed.
No chance is used in the game (based on ww1 europe). If you outnumber your opponents (via alliances) you win the battle. All battles are simultaneous. As you read your movements for the turn, others will read any of theirs that affect yours.
You can break your treaties of alliance or do other things to find out what your likely opponents are planning.
How long till the AI discovers that lying can do well if used judiciously. Kind of like the chat bots that became really ugly as they read interactions on the web.
