known backstabbers

[militarist]

Zapmeister, I understand your point, and in theory, in some kind of community it could be a good idea to have such experiment with such rules. No problems. But I do not see anything good to prohibit other to do what THEY want and to organize their subcommunity who has own understanding. Live and let live.
And I'm not agree that it will be a black list. A LOT of people backstab and treat it normal. So it defenetely can't lead to obstruction of some players. We need all of them - both backstabbing and not. And, if you want to play in unexpected manner - login from new account.

Done! And you deserved it too - this post helped me solve a problem. Hmm, I should thank lch as well.

Please lock this thread. Or, even, delete it.

For my part, I keep a personal list of people who takes the game too seriously.

These kind of threads never lead to anything good, at best they get locked fast enough to avoid harm. Militarist, this isn't about what your intentions are, to quote V:"I have not come for what you hoped to do, I've come for what you did"

We've had threads like this before that have not been locked or deleted and they died on their own fairly quickly. For the time being, the thread is being watched. No reason to shut it down yet and we hope there won't be.

I beg to differ Edi, two players have been publicly labeled as backstabbers in the first post, that should be bad enough.

[GameExtremist]

I too pledge...oh wait this is the wrong thread?

Or is it?

+1

Two players have already had their reputations unfairly tarnished in this thread, and that is already two too many.


If the original poster edits the OP to remove the two forum members he has named there, then this thread then does become fine IMO. Since there is nothing wrong with discussing the merits and pitfalls (such as loss of reputation) of backstabbing. But publicly damaging a players reputation by naming them in a derogatory list such as the one in the OP is another matter altogether.

Are you kidding me militarist???

How can you call me a backstabber? WE NEVER HAD AN NAP.

Let me setup the situation for everyone:

I have no NAP with militarist, have just finished a victorious war and notice that he has even put ONE pd in most of his provinces. So what do I do? Attack. Not only is this not backstabbing, it common sense.

You're just upset because you learned two hard lessons (mistakes I too sometimes make):

1.) make NAPs with everyone who you do not want to fight

2.) put at least 1 PD in your provinces

I've seen you enough around these forums to suspect that you are familiar with the concept of PD, diplomacy and NAPs. So I guess you are just very frustrated that you lost like 6-7 provinces in one turn. But please don't libel me for your own mistakes.

Edit: I know people have been talking about a flame war, and I didn't want to take part in it, so sorry about that...but really, I DO consider myself an honorable player and am quite miffed at militarist for blatantly trying to defame me.
