Tolkien brought up the question of diplomacy and nobody, including myself, responded. Anyway, with such a high stakes game (no second place) I think it's odd to expect good diplomatic behavior. In fact it would be good role playing on the part of many [all] nations to make and break agreements as it serves them. On the other hand it is difficult to separate our real selves from our game self when our game self was just brutally betrayed by an ally. That disappointment can really hurt. Anyway, those are my thoughts. I'm in favor of anything goes and no matter what anyone tells me I'm only ever trusting GrudgeBringer ;-)
