If a player employs a tactic that causes a state of vendetta, they are not allowed to "accept" a pending diplomatic agreement with that faction in the same turn, causing a change in diplomatic status or the transfer of energy or knowledge.

Interesting way of entering into a truce this Foreman has.
First attack (or try to probe) People's Endeavor;
Then accept our pending (for several turns) truce offer;
Then make a big point of saying we are still at war?
Accepting the truce after attacking may violate the rules - namely this one:
If a player employs a tactic that causes a state of vendetta, they are not allowed to "accept" a pending diplomatic agreement with that faction in the same turn, causing a change in diplomatic status or the transfer of energy or knowledge.
It certainly violates the spirit of that rule in any case. In order for us to respond in kind, we would have suffered damage to our reputation that the Drones didn't suffer. Looked at another way, they were basically shooting the guys with the white flags, then quick sign the papers before we could shoot them back without being bad guys. Anyway, there wasn't much damage done (just wounds to our probe), so we will leave this in the hands of our very capable Sea Lawyer, the Honorable Cap'n BlackJack, Esq. to extract whatever measure of flesh he deems appropriate. We reserve the right to renew this issue should the Drones attempt to further benefit from this act.
In the interests of peace, we forebore taking aggressive action against the Drones (and merely interrogated and returned a Drone probeship lurking off our Western Shore) to see if they really want peace or are just stalling for time while building up offensive capabilities.
We do consider the warship in the harbor at People's Endeavor to be persona non grata and we will take whatever actions are available to us to evict it should it be in the vicinity next turn. Additional Drone probe ships (or land probes or any other Drone units for that matter) are similarly unwelcome in our territory and the contiguous landmasses (such as the territory of our associate Chairman Yang); future incursions may not be dealt with as leniently as was just the case with the probeship. Respect for our continental integrity is a prerequisite for and is very highly conducive to peaceful relations.

A temporary ceasefire has been signed with the occupying forces at People's Endeavour.
The Borgs have expressed a desire for peace, though it remains to be seen whether they can translate this into something tangible - while the issue of their invasion of Free Drone sovereign territory remains unaddressed the two factions are still, technically, at a state of war.
'89 to Darsnan.

Sorry for the delay, I saved the game to think about it some more and then thought I had already played it .
