Drogue: OK, thanks for clearing that up. I would however be interested in pushing for our rules to be more clearly signposted, as I checked every thread I could find (FAQ etc) in the public forum before posting. Although it really grates on me to hear we can't chat with members of other teams unless we have an official mandate, I will try to work within that system. For the moment, untill it pisses me off too much for passive activity. 
So can I please be given a mandate to become an official ambassador for our team? Then chats I have are not informal. I know Arn very well from other DGs and I believe that as he becomes a little more active in the Hive that being able to chat with him about things would go a long way to improving relations between our two factions. It is potentially in everyone's best interests. If you or the team believes that I should not be trusted with such a job, I will accept that, happy or not.
However Tass, I have a bone to continue to pick with you. Since your PMs are full, I will continue here. You have told me I unfairly extracted info from Arn. Not so. I was aware he was a Hiver, he knows full well I am CPU. We have both seen the recent diplomatic clashes in the public channel, and we are both smart. Neither of us offered up sensitive information, merely compared notes about activity, who best to contact in our factions, and on the stances of our faction members.
Where is the harm in that? I do not accept any chastising, nor do I intend to stop chatting with Arn about the game because of your arbitrary ruling. I will refrain for the moment because of Drogue's reservations, but I hope I will be given an official mandate.
Oh, and if we're looking at wordings closely, what factional informations was exchanged? Finding out who the active members of our respective factions are is public info - all you need do is check who the CivGroup members are and see how active those members are on Poly. And how is a personal opinion of someone factional information? I know no more about the location, statistics of the Hive than I did before.
If none of this gets me anywhere it's time to define spying. I don't understand a DG where you can't chat to members of the other factions and if I have to change that myself then dammit I will. We're here to have fun, and personally I think a lot of the *****iness seen in this game so far could be relaxed by having better interpersonal communications between ALL members.
