That has been the rule in both Big Games, including Velusions, and every other mp game I have played in. And it makes sense.
My sub is not unknown. He is very well known on the forums. The game admin, hadrian, knows who he is. I choose not to announce who my sub is. But that does not mean it is a secret. Or it is a mystery. I am sure he will announce himself, either on this thread or in game. That is his prerogative.

I searched the rules post and the rest of the top 50 posts for the game and found no mention of this perm-sub "rule" that you speak about. Did I miss it? I don't see why you can't bind a sub to old treaties, it's a game choice like every other choice. Your sub is bound by your previous decisions in how to purchase troops, spend gems, site search, research, and every other aspect of the game, why should diplomacy be any different?
IMO it is most certainly NOT a player's prerogative to play by different rules than everyone else in the game, in this case by not disclosing his/her identity when the rest of the game participants have, and an option not to was not readily given.
