That's my view.
I tend to disagree. while I may have been caught recently making a 'preemptive strike' in another game, they are generally not a good idea. especially if you get a reputation for doing it, and you end up in a game where you need alies but no one trusts you. I find my self wishing now that I had waitied a turn or so after a declaration of war before entering the target system with my fleet, as it probably would have left me with more friends in the long run. just as in the real world, war crimes dont (often) go unpunished (when they are not in the best interests of a major industrial power). I guess I was just lucky that all the major industrial powers in said game were able to see things my way.
I have to say, I think these newbie games are great, and hope that they continue on a regular basis, as they are churning out our future experienced players. I think most of you guys are already in other games as well, but this is as good a time as any to voice a little community support.
