Default Oh, Perfidious Albion

Well, I just have been betrayed for the first time in this game. I don't want to name this villain. I want to find 10 trustworthy players. People that I can trust in future games. So here's my proposal, you can nominate one person that you have found to be honorable, not yourself. Please don't post negative comments about said people on this thread. You can remove your nominee from the list by contacting me via PM.


1: GrudgeBringer
2: Jim Morrison
3: Gandolf Parker
4: Folket
5: MaxWilson
6: Chris Pedersen
7: Executer
8: PashaDawg
9: Anticipent or if he's truly gone some other sucker.
10: Bwahahaha
I have found Gb to be utterly trustworthy so far and would trust him in anything he said.

haha, may as well just get it out of the way and say:


betrayal of alliances is an integral part of the multiplayer game and attempting to remove it in the name of "honor" only stifles the creativity and chaos that makes this game so much fun.

I was going to go into a big long rant, but suffice to say: This has been done before. Join another game and maybe keep some precautions in case of such a betrayal in future games (I'm assuming Nasser here is the aggressor, and you're so angry about this because it's devastated you, presumably because you had nothing to defend against him; that's quite a few assumptions, which, we all know, make an (synonym for buttocks that is apparently blocked in this forum) out of u and me). I can see being angry, but there's no reason to scream bloody murder and such, in my opinion. This is a bit of an overreaction (not to mention an overreaction that's been beaten to death). There we go, a medium-sized rant instead.

If you will, take note that I have not betrayed or been betrayed as of yet (likely due to my sadly lacking MP experience), though I have (accidentally) fudged the dates on quite a few NAPs.

Also, that's a rather creative title for the thread

Oh, no you misunderstand. I'm gonna get even, I'm still in the race. What I'm doing is looking for people that show and keep their honor even if it hurts. Those people are rare and I wish to associate with them. (then betray them) Just kidding

All my buddy's in the real word are totally trustworthy. I have many acquaintances that I don't fully trust. I watch and observe for a few years before fully trusting someone. This trust that I bestow on people has been broken before and I remove such scum as soon as I can. I just broke a friendship of over 30 years over such a betrayal. I will never talk to this oath breaker again. I don't have many friends, but the ones I do I treasure.


I wish to meet new people that think honor is more important than winning a game. People who's word is their bond. Thats all.

PS. Being a gamer I was suprised that it took this long for my first betrayal.

I suspect the thread title is supposed to be "Oh, Perfidious ALbion". Sorry, spelling is a major pet peeve of mine. I realize that a lot of the people on this forum don't use English as their first language and I am impressed at everyone's use of it, despite the rare error.

I trust most regulars in this forum as much as many of my real-world pals, despite never seeing anyone here face-to-face. I would be shocked to lose a game over a broken in-game treaty, but that doesn't mean I couldn't trust the offender outside of games. Of course, being betrayed in the early game for no clear reason is different from launching a surprise attack in late game and thus securing victory. The latter I wouldn't mind as much, I think.
