Re: Turn 12
My two cents worth:
Since Arralen posted under an IP address instead of his own name, I would say he is perhaps setting Cainehill up for a nice, juicy proposal in Council. Though I do wonder how RonD figured out that the IP address of the post in question belonged to Arralen. Edit: I saw that Ron explained it in a post while I was writing this post.
Don't forget that in order to get the Council to vote in your favor, you must have decent supporting evidence (or at least claim to have evidence with a convincing argument). I see absolutely nothing wrong with posting the rumors, for that is what this game is all about.
In fact, this game is more open than usual. In a typical game, a neighbor would simply contact several neighbors around a "target" and tell things which may or may not be true. They would then form an alliance and try to wipe out the player who was likely just minding his own business. I myself have done this and similar things more than once. And I have even won a couple of MP games spreading rumors privately and such. It is all part of being an FFA game.
So, to answer the question from Huntsman, I would have to say this game differs from most games in that it is far more open and above-board than typical. Less secretive, so to speak.
Cainehill's explosive reaction has probably not made him many friends in Council...
PROPOSAL:
I now know where all 17 capitols are, thanks to my harpy scouts. Anybody who sends me 31 gold and 1 gem (of any type) within the next 3 turns will receive this information in a private email!
