I think playing politics is intrinsic to the format, but politicking for the sake of politicking is not. Let's say that there's a threat on board that's screwing with the rest of the table, and you can take care of it, but it'll leave your shields down. Offer to take care of the threat in exchange for not being attacked or targeted for a turn cycle. Most players will take a good deal.
