Ok - I really have to step in here.
(obviously to cover my own honor, but I will come to that later).

First the others
Ducks "Backstabbing" Brutes (Me), this came about due to a miscommunication. I was stomping Ducks when the player took over.
He said "Leave me alone and I will give you 2 things"
I said "Give me 3 things and I will stop attacking you and instigate a 5 year NAP"
He said "Give me one of my planets back and leave me alone and I will give you 3 things and more things in the future"

I accepted and assumed that we had a NAP, he accepted and assumed we didnt.
Later he attacked me - I was very cross Frown

, he was worried about his reputation. We emailed back and forth, decided it was genuine misunderstanding and agreed not to mention it further - which is why I think its a bit unfair to bring it up now.
Note we are still at war to this day (but I do not consider him a backstabber! I will however read emails from him carefully Laughing

)

Second
Steve (Tribbles) this is easy. One of the rules is that every 10 years 1&2nd place are published and any treaties between them are voided - and they cant make any treaties.
This happened between you and Steve in 2480, in 2481 he attacked you. This is not only honest it is in fact encouraged by the rules.

Finally Me (Joseph, Brutes)
We did indeed have a 5 year NAP, at some point in the past you also asked for the removal of all my ships from your worlds.

Due to you allegidly "Backstabbing" the Breads, I set you to neutral. This was to stop you gating fleets into my worlds (as others have pointed out on this thread sitting with pants down invites a kicking and you had just been accused of using your foot).

I am aware, that one of my fleets has encountered and destroyed one of yours, this was not as such intentional. I had intended to use Witter to refuel that fleet so that it could continue to further Duck worlds (and bomb them)
- for those not playing in the game Witter belongs to my ally the Breads and did have a big Star Base - (its now a smoking ruin due to Vegi bombers so I am glad that I have some fuel transports in the fleet or it would be moving slowly now.)

You will notice that NONE of my other fleets targeted any of yours, none of your minelayers around my worlds were targeted (and I have a few sweepers in the area that are clearing it of Duck mines and layers) and NONE of your worlds were attacked.
The only other attacks were of scouts orbiting worlds of mine where I happened to have armed ships, and these were a side effect of setting you to neutral.

(For those of you interested - I have sent an email to the Breads actually the Vegies informing them that in 2486 I will be attacking their worlds and fleets)

I dont see this as a backstab - I see it as making sure the area near my back was cleared of knives (and an unfortunate diplomatic incident due to me thinking Witter was still a friendly star).
It being a bank holiday here all I really had time to do when I heard that the "Pricklies were Backstabbers" was change a setting friend to neutral and upload again.
Joseph

EDIT - changed who I sent the email to telling them I was attacking them - the Brutes are an unsubtle race not known for patience or good eyesight Embarassed
