Real Poll: Shall we persue disinformation campaigns?

[realpolitic]

If we tell other civs information are they more likely to believe us or believe we're lying? If they believe us, then we should lie, so they fall for the lie. If they don't believe us, then we should tell the truth so they'll believe that we're lying, and again act on false data.


Of course we occasionally will have to change the honesty of our statements.

Or we could stay honest to maintain a good reputation, and possibly set up a latter big ambush.

I think we need to establish a good reputation at this stage of the game. We need early trading.

Jokes are okay if their obviously jokes (like the island start) but our side of that we should be 100% honest. Now if they didn't read the fine print, that's different........

We must be honest from the strart or scrap the mercenary plan.

Honesty is the best Foreign Policy...

[Aro]

Honesty, for sure.

[realpolitic]

Ok, but let's not give up the option of stabbing them in the back later.
