Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.
The simple suggestion of a true change scandalizes and terrifies modern man. -Nicolás Gómez Dávila -

Then again, there might not be reprocussions... as was seen in HOTWXII when one civs nation was half taken over AND their capital taken (by an experienced and unnamed player
) Sure alot of players threatened action, but only one was actually serious IMO, and it didn't even get to that point. (they had to fight for their capital back, it was not negotiated)
A few things in my defenseOriginally posted by deity
HOTW12 found a good balance so that plenty of wars occur. I wasn't happy about the Carpathian capital being taken and would never choose to do this myself (but because Carpathia sulked and refused to negotiate diplo style the game came close to a precipice).
1. The Carpathian capitol I took had been their capitol for all of like 20 turns. If a player moves their capitol to be right on your border I don't think they can hide behind a no capitol taking rule.
2. Capitols, wonder cities, shrine cities have always been able to be captured and, in some cases, kept. But they have significantly more weight to them and that deserves to be considered during diplo negotiations. Plus the "crime" of taking one's capitol should be considered internationally. (which it was in HOTW XII)
3. He started the war, not me.
4. He was muuch bigger and stronger.
5. He started wars against his other neighbor (and was thus a long term threat).
6. He left his cities fairly undefended. (and had consequences to face for it)
7. He refused to negotiate or even talk after many, many, many attempts by me to end the war and talk.
8. I totally kicked his ass.
9. He wasn't crippled, but the balance of power was definitely shifted, which is quite interesting in diplogames and sadly because people are so damn timid about war it rarely happens. We need more big wars that tip the balance of power or Deity, Toni and I will win every game. And that gets boring after a while.
10. I totally kicked his ass.

I make typos as well, so people my mix Rasputin and me up
Yes, the idea is that we keep our identities hidden. It's the obvious trick to let others think that you're someone else.
ideas:
1. say turn every 10 seconds (Toni)
2. say "There's a red dot on my screen , I'm hacked!!" (deity)
3. Say something like: "The youth rights in the Youngster States of America have improved!" (Ozzy)
4. Say: "Pelease make paece!" (Rasputin)
5. Or: "I'm the biggest civ guys! all bow for me" (BlackDragon)
I'm going to study all the posts of you guys soon to see how I can impersonate you guys :P
Player 16 has picked his civ
Player 17 has picked his civ
Player 18: you're next! Go go go go!
Still no news from Player 12. He has been on Apolyton several times, he has received e-mail notifications. If Player 18 has picked his civ and we haven't heard anything from him, LzPrst is on the roll.Formerly known as "CyberShy"

And so the sands of time do reveal 18 nomadic tribes. They have no knowledge of the world they live in nor of each other, all they know is there own piece of dirt.
