The Inner Workings of Truces

[allstarplayer090]

Hey everyone. Thanks for taking the time to read.
Basically in a game I am playing another player and I have a truce. Nothing specific was stated.
Does this truce pertain to all newly acquired regions or the regions and bonuses made at the onset of the truce?

It applies to everything until the moment it suddenly applies to nothing.

Just ask [player]tkr4lf[/player].

It’s up to you. Tell him whatever he needs to hear to get him off your back. Then do whatever you want!

Make a truce if you fear a neighbor.....once you no longer fear your neighbor stab him/her/mrswdk in their back.

Sure you may get a bad rating, but winning is everything!

Or in your case, it's about 12% of everything.

Look, there's a few basic rules to working out a truce:

1 ) If it's with anyone who demands that you guess their name to undo it, don't.
2 ) Poker rules apply- if they have the name of a state, or the word "doc" in their name. don't bargain. "Doc Arizona" is a con man's name.
3 ) Look a man in the eye, son.
4 ) Make sure that there's an obvious reward- a gift basket, or coupons.
5 ) Be realistic to the map. If your truce is not true to history, the game might go wrong. The mods can step in.
6 ) Keep everyone informed about your truce. Friends, loved ones... pretty much everyone you can think of.
7 ) At the start of the game, declare your truce with all players. They can't attack you that way.
8 ) For all blood oath truces, make sure you don't skimp on the address being signed on the other side. Pay for delivery.
9) If it involves anything called a "Pact", don't do it.
10) ...

Europe 1914.

I made a truce between France and England "The Channel". He then took Germany. Do we have a truce between France and Germany? No, but we both clearly are fighting other players. For the time being no fighting.

On a a less jokey note, a truce is just a temporary agreement. It's no contract, but it should be viewable to all players unless between members of a team.

If one party to a truce breaks that truce, then it's not pleasant, but it's not against any rule.

Bernie had the most insightful thoughts. Whenever I start a game I try to make a secret truce if every player on the board. Hoping that no one will attack me.

True words of wisdom. Secret truces work unless they are made by mrswdk, cause he kisses and tell.
