Turn 62 - Turn 1 of notice
Turn 63 - Turn 2 of notice
Turn 64 - Turn 3 of notice, hostile orders may be issued if so wished.
Turn 65 - All 3-turn NAP's are officially over, and any attacks that occur were valid with regards cancelling the NAP.

Really? I could have sworn we were in the second turn of the grace period. Still, I defer to your non-Alzheimer's-afflicted memory.

Yeah, I'm not saying that people shouldn't break NAPs. What I'm saying is that the human player of Pan convinced me that he wouldn't break his NAP and I played on that basis. My issue is, if Pan had gone AI and the turn hosted without my knowledge, I would have been at a significant disadvantage.

EDIT: Ah - I see that this is exactly what occurred and yes, Pan attacked.

This is not about taking advantage of nations going AI, its about knowing the state of the game at the time you play your turn.

Also, in terms of game balance, I disagree that the difference between one turn of stale and one turn of AI control is significant.

Just my 2c
