Default Re: Adjudication on a NAP

I think Saxon has a point. Part of the player culture of Diplomacy is that lying and treachery are part of the game, just like part of the culture of poker is that bluffing is part of the game. Nobody would refuse to play poker against someone who lied about his cards, and only an idiot would refuse to play Diplomacy against someone who lied about his plans.

Dominions' current MP scene doesn't have that dimension and I think that diminishes it. The presence of multi-game reputations and grudges and players who would rather preserve their "honor" than get ahead in the game they are actually playing right now changes the nature of the game, and IMO, not for the better.
