As to leaving others the choice of our civ: I'm partial to it. Myself, I don't care that much which civ we play (even if I kind of campaigned to avoid everyone voting expansionist), so that's not the point. Each civ we use has advantages, and we have to play so that these advantages are enforced (although commercial isn't my trait either). But the probem is that no matter how we would put it, I don't think that any team would find us more sympatic, there is little gain out of this. And the worst is that we enforce the feeling others are having as us being snooty.
The only thing we could get out of it is that we could have discussions on that thread amongst the other teams that could give some insight in how they perceive us, but I guess this would silent quickly, at which point the discussions would be kept in the private fora, after which we would get mass voting of a complete team on one choice. Which teaches us nothing...
Re: lieing (lying?): That's the distinction we have to make, it seems everyone here has the same idea of this. I think it's great to play with the other teams heads, creating diversions and trying to confuse them, however we never should lie. So it's perfectly allright to confuse them with our 'name the civ' game, but we never ask them for a RoP that gets violated the 4th turn. Nor can we ever attack a city with tons of units within their borders either, that would not be a honorable thing to do.
This distinction between deception games, and playing honorable should get into our charter that we give to the other teams, hoping they will do the same to us. It doesn't really matter to winning the game anyway, but it will make it more enjoyable.
