Heh, so you violate the real-life board ToS (and yes, I realize it's probably an approved deviation from the rules since you're a moderator and a helpful member of the community) to avoid dishonor in a virtual game. Gotta love irony. =)

And please see the parenthetical, this isn't supposed to be a flame or an attack on your honor, since I think the ToS are a bit silly, I just find the situation to be ironic and hence amusing.

Despite my paranoia, Folket was a completely trustworthy player who kept his word about diplomacy arrangements, the whole time that the game lasted.

Ha, Ha, ha. You guys are funny. I'm going somewhere with this. A truly evil plan. When you see it "play" out I think you will find it amusing. Someone nominate Gandolf please. And other paragons of virtue. Heh... Seven to go.


PS. I'm consulting some people about who's considered trustworthy, then looking at their posts to ascertain the truth. I know its flawed but its the best I can do.

Why am I not on that list BTW? I'm trustworthy!
JK on the other hand can only be trusted not to be trusted.
He is notorious for attacking his neighbors out of boredom

KO, you rebel!

You just broke all of Bwaha's rules, first by nominating yourself, and then by disparaging the trustworthiness of your fine colleague.

What do you expect from a man with the image of a demon lord as his avatar?

BTW the title of this comes from one of Nappy's rants. If I remember correctly it was when England sent Wellington to Spain. It really ticked him off.

One of my buddy's works for the nsa so the verification process won't take too long. Their computers are set up to go thru emails looking for certain profiles. I still need more nominees to vet first. I'm expecting to get the report next week. He owes me several favors and I'm using one for this.
