Default Re: Diplomacy ethics

That's the point. Humans don't work that way.

There is an advantage in being regarded as trustworthy. There is an advantage in being untrustworthy. The key is to balance the two.

In the metagame, it would also make sense for the untrustworthy to convince others to disregard evidence that they are untrustworthy.
