The Bards may be gone as a nation, but the Bard Lord Snoop is currently under guard, being escorted to the Capital to face a tribunal of Horde Judicial Masters. At this tribunal he will be asked to answer for various crimes against the population of the nation he led. Yes I do mean they towns that were abandoned.

Add to that the crime of an unprovoked attack upon the Desolation Row in the year 2110BC.

For that crime we wish to begin extradition proceedings.

Well, get in line

(maybe we send you his head or some other non-essential body part )

The Tribunal of the Bard Lord Snoop Dogg has begun.

I'm sorry Lord Khan of Khans, I can quote no scripture. However, to this soul's way of thinking, pillaging someone else's road is a hostile act and therefore worthy of reporting. Is my reasoning flawed? I can accept DISCUSSION on this, which is perhaps not a MONGOL way of discourse.

You have had many discussions with the Horde. Good post for making your fleece look like a worthy target.

I would like to remove my congratulations for polite behavior. You are actually rude. Apologies for my misinterpretation of your communication. Please ramble on.

Mr Words, why not be Mr Action?

Ah James lad he too busy looking for grammatical errors in anything PLATO posts to come out and fight !

[bongo]

My definition on what should be reported:

Any Act of War

Where "Act of War" includes any action which will trigger a transition from peace to war between two nations.

Here is a James question that I missed.

Communication is an action, Mr. Mouse.

[conmcb25]

I guess the real question is:

"If a state of war exists between nations and one nation pilliages roads inside the borders of the other nation should that be reported in the battle reports?"

bongo Id like to hear your honest opinion on that.

Thanks

[bongo]

Yes it should, as you can't pillage inside other teams territory without either a)causing war or b)being at war already.

From my point of view pillaging fits perfectly into the "Act of War" category but if the teams in unison decide that pillaging should be excempt from reporting they clearly have the right to do so.



I'm not sure where that leaves us with diplomacy though. My skills on diplomacy it a bit rusty (prefer guns ) Will failed espionage attempts ever cause wars? Should they count as act of war?

[Krill]

Failed spy missions themselves don't cause wars. the AIs themselves decide to declare war.

+.5 to having pillaging added to the battle report.

[Golden Bear]

Truly I asked originally because I don't know the rules about these things. I was calling up saves and comparing them and I was pretty certain that the road had been pillaged by an Army. I think that, in the absence of an actual shooting war, it is a matter of convenience if somebody notifies you that they destroyed the road.

In an ongoing campaign, perhaps not, but even there it might help out.

It is difficult in a PBEM because you cannot see what happens as you can in a SP game.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Thanks bongo, I tend to agree, and oh BTW my respect for you has nothing to do with your diplomatic skills
