Re: Deception
It's my understanding that Norfleet did not just sit around waiting for people to mention what people were going to do in thise Fire and Ice game. Although I'm sure some of that went on. But unless Stormbinder is lying--and I'm sure Norfleet would have called him on it by now if he was--then Norfleet actively sought to engage people in conversation about the game, and specifically asked them questions about what they were going to do to his nation.
Could, or should, the other players have refused to talk to him about this? Well obvioulsy in this case, yes. And in a general sense, it probably isn't wise to give away information about what you're doing in a MP game. But even if Stormbinder and the rest acted somewhat foolishly, that doesn't change the fact that what Norfleet did was dishonest.
Norfleet conned these guys. If some con man were to convince your brother to buy the Brooklyn Bridge from him, I'm sure you'd chew your brother out for being an idiot. But I think you'd also be pretty angry at the guy who ripped him off.
