Re: PBW ethics, opinions please.
Well personally I think you were doing an ok thing if you were playing like a stinking cardassian. But, and I find this true of myself, people tend to have a hard time seperating The SEIV player from the nice cuddly human outside the game. I remember reading in an old Wargaming magizine about the Avalon Hill game diplomacy about the tactics of lying. The Big lie the medium lie and the small lie. It was just part of the game.
