Hi All,

I accepted a truce request, from player "Cmurda". Her proposal was "truce between me and you for now until brown ai and light orange East_ibsenia are gone?"

Player East_ibsenia later surrendered (which is not the same as "gone").

One of Warlight's settings is to accept surrenders. That setting is there for a strategic purpose (Warlight even informs you at the time of a surrender that it can affect the outcome of the game).

I needed the truce that Cmurda offered, and to which we both agreed, to last a few more turns. So I did not accept East_ibsenia's surrender request. It was a strategic decision, one that the game incorporates. It gave me time to increase my income -- a basic principle of the game.

Player "Cmurda" attacked me, inappropriately breaking our truce, before player East_ibsenia was, in her words, "gone".

We all know that we do not fully protect boarders with players where we have a truce. That was the case here. So Cmurda's attack was a game changer.

I asked Cmurda to vote to end. I gave her a way to make up for her mistake. She refused.

I asked Cmurda why this one game was so important, that it was worth her reputation. She wrote that, just as it was my choice to not accept East_ibsenia's surrender, it was her choice to break the truce (mind you, all truces are eventually ended -- but they are supposed to end based on what was agreed on).

Everyone should know that not only did Cmurda not hold up her end of our truce agreement, and refused to acknowledge any wrong-doing, but also refused my offer of "no hard feelings", to make things right, with a "Vote to End".

Cmurda should not be trusted. Her definition of a truce is to break it, as long as she can get away with it.

My final message to her was that I would post her actions to this board. She wrote that she is "crashing out. good luck". So this posting is not being done behind her back.

I am posting this so that her actions, which she assumed would be known only to me, are known to all.

Or, perhaps, my posting will shame her into doing the right thing.

Thank you, and see you on the battlefield!

wow.... you took all that time to write that long huge message over an FFA game where peace was broken??
I have no other words then wow

rocky1, your response will encourage rule breaking. Not good.

Rule breaking happens so many times and if you look 3-4 pages back you see countless threads about rule breaking here. If everybody that breaks rules would be banned i think over half of the players would have been banned already.

Haha, you talk of strategically not accepting a surrender so you can attack some neutrals. Meanwhile, your buddy strategically whupped you!

Also, at the time of your having agreed to a "truce," had you and Cmurda ever attacked each other? Or did you enter into this "truce" without any previous attacks?

1) This is not the place to bitch about people not upholding truces

2)Let it go. You're ego to post it first is pitiful and makes you look worse.

3)What did you expect? Everyone is unpredictable to an extent. You could have prepared a little.

Cmurda is a dude :P

Besides the fact that this happens all the time and is not special.

You did the same thing as she did, there are unwritten rules. 1 of them is following the rules you made about a truce. Another rule is that you accept when somebody surrenders. In this case I think what you did was worse than what he/she did

lol. If that's the worst thing that's happened to you in WL, you live a privileged life. lol.

this guy would not last in the UN or Illuminati clan

in the game were there any rules against breaking truces? ( i know i am lazy blah blah blah)

I like how in that specific template you get 3 units for controlling the Poland bonus. I mean...seriously?

I'll be frank, it's not a diplomacy and it's not an RP game. Breaking a truce is just another tactic to be employed. Ask General Arun, he apparently use to be quite popular in this subject. So, don't make one with him in the future and move on to the next game.

Damn that's a good Song :D

you heard "drunk in love"?

I will tell you this right now. I don't do truces I don't play Diplomacy or any other RP stuff. If you see me truce you, you can bet your sweet ass I am going to betray you when the odds are in my favor to do so. Truce in no rule FFA's are a tool to gain leverage that is all when leverage is gained it will be used.
