Simple Question

[Bella Hella]

i can get them to vendetta me sometimes just by calling them up each turn. they really hate it when you keep bothering them for no reason.

ring, ring
santiago (ambivalent): hello?
me: hi!
santiago: state your case quickly, for i have little time to chat.
me: hi!
santiago: my apologies, i have no time for your crap. (hangs up)

next turn....
ring, ring
santiago (belligerent): hello?
me: HI!
santiago: what do you want?!?
me: HIIIIIIII!
santiago: gaaaah! (hangs up)

next turn...
ring, ring
santiago (seething): HELLO?
me: ....
santiago: HELLO? who is this?!?
me: hi!
santiago: vendetta upon you! you'll pay for your persistent meddling!
me:

or something like that.

You deserve it

Thank you all for your suggestions.

Is there any way to cancel a treaty without declaring vendetta? Not that you would ever really want to, unless you were slightly outmatched at the very end of the game - perhaps then you might not want to give the other guy the trade bonus. Nope, actually even then you would want to start a war. But is it physically possible to go directly from treaty to truce status?

[gwillybj]

I've had the AI rescind a Treaty (for many of the reasons listed above for which they dissolve a Pact), but I've not seen a method for the human to do so.

What are the mechanics in a pbem game. I have just probed a Pact mate for a tech. That strange message pops up, as if to your pact mate. Advising a) do you want to ignore with a rebuke or b) to wage vendetta.

Are you as the player to pick the vendetta option?

Because I hadn't probed a PACT mate before I think I chose a). But I did send a dip message via the Commlink and an email to my 'PACT' mate advising what I had done.

Of course, having chosen a) I then tried to go into a 'technical' vendetta, that is, without actually attacking, but couldn't see an option in the dip box. So I guess when that strange screen pops up I should choose b) in future.

There's a post about that somewhere else. If I'm correct, that message box's a bug. Seems that players just agree beforehand what to do should that situation pops up then act accordingly.

[Jamski]

In PBEM its taken as a normal rule that you ALWAYS declare vendetta when that pop-up comes.

Its because normally the person being probed gets the pop-up, but of course they're not playing at the time...

Thanks, I needed that.
Just goes to show you... there's making a point concisely, and then there's illustrating it with a fine brush.
