Default Re: \"Stasis\" - strange diplomacy

I'd like to introduce a new term into Dominions Lexicon.
Its based on reverse dutch auctions, and known in american parlance as either reverse dutch or reverse chinese. However, to keep jingoism out of it, I'd like to just call it a reverse nap.

Here is the definition:

Both sides enter into a NAP with an agreed upon term, such as NAP +3 - which would normally be that there is peace for three turns AFTER the turn of notification.

So, a Reverse NAP is this:

The side that is *notified* may take any actions it deems fit, immediately, upon notification.

The side deciding to end the NAP, must wait the agreed upon time.

This makes it a disadvantage to break the NAP, and hence a little bit stronger than a traditional NAP.

Whatdya think?

Default Re: Stasis - MA game. Started.

So I'm gonna be out of town on vacation Monday the 18th through Friday the 22nd of next week without access to a computer. Can we delay the game a little bit so that I don't miss a turn? I'm in a pretty respectable spot. And I'm at war with 2 nations right now, so I'd rather not turn my turns over to someone else right now.
Much appreciated.
