PBEM Question

[Ferendra]

Hi folks,

I take part in a PBEM-game (simultaneous turns) and have discovered the following problems:
1.)
A player (human) offered me a military
alliance and I accepted it. After having done so there has been no change at the empires window. The other player/empire and me still had no treaty. I have not been sure whether our ships would attack each other, so we had to plot our movement to stay out of contact. We had to wait for the next turn for the treaty to become active. Does anyone now, if this a kind of bug? Or is it part of the sim-turn PBEM-game?
2.)
Same game, treaty is active and I received battle notes from the contact with my ally !
Neither of us had losses, but to get battle reports from allies is really annoying.
Is this a bug, or just part of the sim-turn PBEM game?

BTW. The first time I received the message with the treaty offer. It did not work accetping it. The other player had to sent it a secind time.

Greetings
Fer
