While I would encourage any GM to run an occasional 'we must ally though we hate each other' scenario, I would smack down any mini-maxing player who tried to pull this.

(Alan, if you're reading this I'm thinking of you! And you too Daniel!)

Trying to have it both ways isn't a lovely trait. Clear definition of character and situation should be there in the build.

It's up to the GM to bend the clear definition out of shape not the player.
