25 Apr 12 UTC | Spring, 1862: (JeffDG): Anyone else in doing a "Treaties" game here? Effectively, people declare treaties of non-aggression/peace/mutual defense, and cannot violate them without previously declaring war |
25 Apr 12 UTC | Spring, 1862: (JeffDG): Look at the message log here: http://vdiplomacy.com/board.php?gameID=42&viewArchive=Messages |
25 Apr 12 UTC | Spring, 1862: (JeffDG): From another game: "basically the rules are you make treaties with other countries and then announce them in the global, NAP, mutual defense, etc. you must also announce a declaration of war one phase (6 months) before you attack, like russia declares war of austria in the spring of 1901, cant attack until fall of 1901, you can violate a DMZ but the other country maintains the right to declare instant war if you do if there are any disputes or a question that needs to be clarified we should probably vote on it since that always how we resolved things in the other games" |
26 Apr 12 UTC | Spring, 1862: So I assume since there were no replies, that we aren't doing this treaty thing? |
