If you are really playing a larger game with more than 2 players, cooperative behavior will always win, so if you are known to be turn-coat, people who reliably stay in a pack will easily defeat loner types. Divide and conquer pretty much always wins. Of course, if the game is FFA, and there can be only one winner, then obviously at some point even an ally will have to declare war on another ally to win.
