But, if you want to say "Hey, I think Ermor is researching to Tartarians, we should gang up on him."

Wait, is that okay?

See, I don't think that is okay, either.

Maybe just as long as all military plans are off limits, including yours. Like, is saying "Just thought you might want to know, Ermor is probably researching like crazy. I think he wants Tartarians, he'll probably get them in 5-10 turns." that okay? Thing is... if the person you are talking to knows you are attacking them currently, then that is almost an attempt at military coordination, imo.
But who would such tartarian scare tactics work on? If it's an evil race with them, evil races would probably not be too worried, while good races are probably already committed to fighting them. And vica versa if a good race had tartarians. And if the other neutral race had them... well as you say, them winning would be very difficult, it would be rather obvious if the game was going that way. The same argument pretty much applies to any military strength or weakness a neutral race could tip people off too. The only way I can really see a neutral race getting in trouble is mentioning plans to attack a specific player or province, which should be easy to avoid.

Sounds good, QM. We will leave it at that. It is prohibited to say "I am attacking province #14. You attack #22."

Let's leave battle screenshots as illegal, since that will just increase the Neutral's ability to be rumor-mills. They won't have to actually back up what they're saying with fact.

You want PBEM? I'd really rather just set up a server. PBEMs are such pains for the host.

I agree CU! It would be really fun to have them just make up misinformation too. SO both sides will have to try to keep good relations with the Neutrals, especially the evil.

On this note I will make the dive into the evil end as being the first, I shall be MA Abyssia!

Pbem is more convenient sometimes, I especially realized this on my last trip to Japan. I can play either however.

I am extremely lenient as far as hosting times. If you want an extension, for any reason whatsoever, I will give it. I will often even give unasked for extensions if you have never staled before. I hate to see people stale who are interested in the game. However, once you start staling and not asking for extensions, you won't get any and I might even force host before the time is up if you are the last player, b/c I like a fast-moving game.

I 'd love to join in to defend the forces of light from the cancerous evil that plagues the land (George Bush?).
