[Xietor]

As I said Zeldor my understanding of the custom comes from the games and players in the games in which i have participated.

In fact, in this game, you have two very experienced players, K and Baalz, who took over positions as perm. subs. K for sure felt he was not bound by my nap with the former player. And I am not sure how Baalz approached his role when he took over MA Arcos.

But it is hard enough to get perm subs as it is, and it may be harder to get them if they cannot play the race as they see fit. While I am not motivated enough to read Perpetuality thread, I think that was Velusion's logic. In Fallacy I also had to reconfirm my treaties with the players that took over MA Ctis. In any event, it is not something I made up out of thin air.

It is just something that has been a part of my gaming experience. Other players may well have had different gaming experiences. From Zeldor's perspective, it really is not relevant as I had no treaty with him anyway.

And I certainly did not get a sub because I wanted LA Arcos to attack either of the nations with whom i had naps, la caelum or formoria. In fact it is my strong hope my sub would see that as a futile course of action if he wishes to influence the outcome of the game. Though my sub is a very strong willed person, and my advice will likely be secondary to his own assessments.
