Gunboat etiquette

Hi everyone,

Is it acceptable for two people knowingly to sign up for the same Gunboat
(no-press) game, as long as they don't share any info about it (such as
which power each is playing)?

Thanks for your opinions,
Andy

No, unless the GM knows and approves of this arrangement in advance.

Hi Andy, the best solution to this problem 😎 is not to play Gunboat....
but assuming one is going to do this, ethically one should NOT sign
up if they know who any of the other players in the game are, unless
that is an agreement among the players (e.g. a game where seven
players agree to play gunboat), all the players.

So, sorry, but no,
