LOL - that's an amusing exchange. Sounds like it will be a fun war!!

I'm not convinced about your methods, Indy, as it is a wargame and all - but I share your views encouraging 'honourable' play.

Please, please remember that this is just a game. there is no money at stake. We (I?) play this game for fun, nothing more.

Heh. Okay, one more post. ; )

I just wanted to clarify: I'm not awash and drowning in venom or anything like that. Viperish declarations of everlasting disgust aside, I am still having fun. "Fun" for me has just shifted definitions, that's all!

Indy, do remember that NAPs aren't in any way enforced or universally agreed to be binding in Dominions games, and in fact there is no general rule that they have to be followed. Some players have a policy of always sticking to them. Others believe in role-playing, and stick to them when they feel it is in character for their nation/pretender. Since no general policy has been decided on anywhere, there has to be a limit to how annoyed you can get at someone for breaking an NAP. Personally, although I haven't broken any NAPs myself, I think it's quite reasonable to do so. After all, in real life, "binding" treaties have been broken by nations very often.

If, on the other hand, a game was started which stated explicitly in the first post that NAPs must not be broken in that game and players agreed to that when joining the game - well, in that case, you would be entitled to be very annoyed with a player who broke an NAP. But that is not the case here.

Finally, your metagaming threats of carrying the grudge to other games, and your general approach to the situation, are very unpleasant to my mind. Personally I would argue that inter-game threats are completely unacceptable. If you are angry in a game (or rather, feel that your god would be angry), feel free to go crazy in that particular game. But it makes no sense for a different god in a different world to be angry as well. However, I will not weigh in on the argument any further, since it has been done to death before.

Vanheim has waited for an opportune time, and have finally enacted swift and sweet vengence on the maurauding Abysian forces.

This is surely a sign of things to come!
