The Deep Council notes that Machaka has not yet answered to our friendship message, although their armies has now reached the bridge which we ordered our own troops not to cross.

Therefore please inform the respected Johannes Kurkunkastaja, who seems to hold authority among the spider folk, that we want to know whether he considers our pact [NAP3] acceptable or not, so that we can adapt our orders for his month accordingly.

Respectful greetings to the Spider Lord.

Guys!

I got to know, that some of us has sent PMs already. It is in the game rules, that only public communication is allowed.

I have received an ingame letter from pakoito. I think it didnt gave me or him any advantage (so no harm is done yet), and i suppose pakoito didnt intend breaking the rules.

However i would like to avoid to have some of us play with different rules the others.

So, i would like to ask if we all agree on that "only public communications is allowed" rule (as stated in the first post), or would all of us like to switch to more conventional rules. Or something in between.

Magnificent and most beutiful prophetess of the Celestial Empire!

The I bear the greetings of our leader, and would like to offer our peace treaty with the Leaders of T'ien C'hi which to be signed at our mututal border, with a season long buffer-time)

(Pardon my bluntness and this short introducton, but im in a bit of a hurry as my markata squadrons have wandered away/fighting with themselves/too noisy and uncontrollable)

I think the rule of only public diplo is interesting as long as we all respect it (it is a big advantage to "cheat" and make private deals and coordination when others can't)

[pakoito]

I want something in between, public diplo means no plotting and backstabbing and that's the best part of the game. Mix of public-private so we can manipulate each other.

[Numahr]

I joined this game because of that rule as I don't have time to play a full diplo game, so it's either no diplo game or public diplo (which takes mush less time because of the no backstabbing).

I mean we have rules clearly set up first, these should not change during the game - when we choose which games to join, we have to go through reading these rules and accepting them or not, discussing them before game starts, but not refusing them after start, in my opinion.

And by the way, either private messages are allowed or they are not - no way to do something in between. If they are allowed, then I will make almost all my diplo through private messages as it is so much better to win (you don't reveal info, you give yourself more freedom etc.). But then the whole concept of the game changes from what I've signed up for.

[earcaraxe]

The rules were clear when the game started, everyone had the possibility to decide wether wants to join this game with this rules or not. the first post is unchanged from the start from that aspect, so u can check out the exact wording.

I'm open to changing the rules if there is consensus to (including me). It seems, that there are players who want to stick to the initial rules: every messaging must be public.

So, from now on, only public messages are allowed. No PM, no in-game text messages (item and gem sending is ofc allowed), no emails, skype, facebook, whatever.

Mighty leader of Ulm!

I bear a message from our leader, our salvation, the one who knows all the teaching: Fame has it the best warriors of your army rival even the strength of the silverback bandar gladiators. This makes our people look at your people as respectable, trustworthy and honorable (this must be some kind of gorilla-logic that i, the chosen one of the markatas, the first principle of the Emerged Tailless, cant understand fully).

This is an offer of a peace agreement, with a season's length as insurance, to coexist in peace, properity, and mutual grooming.

Yes, I completely back up these guys in their demand for reading comprehension. Rules were clearly stated, and more over there are practically always many a game without these special restrictions to choose from where as this one was founded under the idea of following certain set of special rules.

One cant, for example, after signing up to follow these rules just one sidedly decide he wont follow the ettin rule and start exploiting it. Mi self, I would not have joined without this open diplomacy policy just because I have so many regular games going on, and more coming up in near future. I signed up for the open diplo (inc. RPG element it brings along.)
