Anonymous Rituals and NAPs

[Xietor]

I am in the game in question.

We had a thread awhile back on what violates a nap. Many said any hostile act, including baalz. I am of the camp that if I am aware of a hostile act, the nap is over and it is war.

That includes stealth preaching, moving stealth armies through my lands, etc.

Baalz and I think K as well said boxing them in so they could not expand violated their naps, or taking an independent province that barbarians had captured.

So there is a range of actions that different players view as violating an nap.

In Fallacy, casting rain of toads so many times on Jotunheim's capital on the eve of war had to be you. Hadrian. Who else would waste the bloodslaves to cast 40 rain of toads on someone they had no beef with?

And with abysia and Mictlan already out of the game, the list of suspects grows thin(assuming Jotunheim did not cast them on himself.). So you knew you did it, and Jotunheim knew you did it. In fact everyone knew you did it.

So it was no longer a spell(40 of them) whose origin was in doubt. To me that is a breach of the nap calling for instant war.

As for future games, well i have had long naps with you in the Big Game and in EH II. In both of those games you were(to the best of my knowledge) a good neighbor.

So I would trust you, but I would make sure we were on the same page as to what the nap meant. To me a nap that does not ban all hostile acts is useless. I may as well go to war with that nation and make a nap with someone who is going to view the nap in the same light i do.
