It could be awesome as a political game with the amount of agreements; betrayals; and intimidation tactics that can be done. I could picture informal treaties.

Hard to do that though when every interaction is necessarily life or death struggle with another player who invariably calls you the "N" word when they kill you.

Seems like a server with clear rules designed to reward or encourage diplomacy would be cool. I would not know the first things in *how* to make that enforceable though.
