Quite. It's the dishonesty, outside the context of diplomacy, that I think is the cause of most of the ill-feeling we're seeing here. And it's dishonesty that continued after the game, when Norfleet was defending his actions here.

In the "Play the World" thread, he said:

Perhaps, except that I only asked him questions I already knew the answers to anyway.

What were these questions to which he knew the answers before they were given? According to Stormbinder (in the same thread) they were:

See, as a Norfleet he was constantly soliciting information from each of Pkahar Njar's (his alias in our game) neigbors with questions such as "So what are you going to do about Caelum?" (Caelum was Pakhar's nation). "How is your war against Caelum going?" , "How are you going to attack Caelum now?". (all these are exact quotes)

'Nuff said? Norfleet apparently thought so too, because he didn't respond when I presented him with this. Instead, he started a new thread with this comment:

Due to the rampant hijacking and derailing of the other thread, I'm not going to deign to respond to it and am going to let it die and sink back into the abyss where it came from.

For me, this is all about dishonest behaviour in public, and almost nothing to do with Dominions. So I'll leave it there.
