Re: Sophistry - Random Nations, Early Age (Sign-up
Heh, diplomacy is quite a deep subject that you might have better luck posting in the general forum, but FWIW most people tend to make a good faith effort to follow through with agreements - BUT...
some people just plain don't
some people are in multiple games and forgot what they agreed to
some people have a different opinion on the details of what they agreed to
and finally
Many people are playing for a win so always remember that most alliances will not last longer than they benefit both partners insofar as they're both trying to win.
So to sum it up, you'll have no problem finding reliable allies as long as you're strong enough to have a big stick, but not so strong that you look like you're about to win. Outside of that having high expectations of your allies is just going to be a frustrating experience.
Obviously I speak in generalities, so take it for what it's worth.

and guys how do i find a reliable ally to make alliance with?

The best advice I can give is to talk to people as much as possible. The silent guy that just establishes a 3 turn NAP and then never says anything is an easier person to betray then the guy you've been chatting friendly with for the past 15 turns.
Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.

I'm still new to the MP scene, but this will be my 3rd game you are hosting Velusion. If you ever come up near Milwaukee, Wisconsin, give us a yell. Loving these games.

Many thanks indeed Velusion. If you are ever in Irving... oh wait, never mind. I might actually have to pay up on that.

Re: Sophistry - Random Nations, Early Age (Sign-up
I'll sign up, since my career in my other game seems to be winding down...
I'll take anyone but Vanheim or Helheim.
