Default Re: Nap-3

It's the ambiguity of it all that tickles me. We can see how genuine diplomatic crises could erupt and be taken advantage of. Say I have a NAP-3 with a neighbor, but I've come to a point where I really want to destroy him. Say I discover a scout belonging to that neighbor in my territory. I send a message to my neighbor expressing my disgust at his stinking betrayal, declare the NAP voided by this misconduct, and march to war immediately. Is that quite a bit over-aggressive? Sure. Am I now an oathbreaking scumbag? That's a bit fuzzy. He was in my territory, after all. It may not be the greatest casus belli, but it might be enough to get me to war with my reputation somewhat intact.
