I have possibly agreement breaking, but i want to be sure, before i slander somebody.

deal:
"We would like to propose this: either party should not send warships less than 82ly from the other party planets and include a 1 year >exit clause as well as obviously prevent attack with packets. Would either party send any kind of ships in the 82ly area, said ship would >be forfeiting protection and could be shot down at the other party discretion within the 82ly protection. In no way could one party >send ships in the aforementioned radius with the intent to attack another party planet, or attack another party planet even if they jump >from above 82ly. The 1 year exit clause would mean that the party wishing to exit the agreement would need to communicate his will >to the other party, _wait a full year before engaging the other party or entering the 82ly limit __after the communication to terminate >the agreement is received__, then be able to do as normal_. To be extra clear, you can't send an email and count that year you sent >the email at as the wait turn; it would be the next one."

Player that proposed this, shortly afterwards deployed warships less than 82ly from my planet. Despite warnings.

It's breaking the agreement...

But are they warships or unarmed ships?

The consequence is pretty clear: They forfeit protection.

As a native English speaker myself there are some things which stop the agreement reading as smoothly as I normally like, but I think the gist is pretty clear:

- No packet attacks
- No planet attacks (even with >W9 jumps)
- Any ships in W9 radius forfeit protection under this agreement.
- Warships *should* not go within W9 - they might have to in order to deal with other ships which have forfeited protection...
- 1 year exit

I'd say the ship(s) in question can be shot down - but you still need that 1 year exit clause.

Warships. Ie - armed ships. No exit clause nor any information about ending agreement from other side(owner of thouse warships).

If you are talking about the same game as I'm thinking, I could check what you are talking about...

Want to share specifics?

The funniest thing in the whole is that i got threatened that if i respond in force, i`ll be backstabber - which is completely absurd for me.
Thats why i want some neutral judgement here, before i slander someone in public.

Fair enough Smile

I believe there are 2 types of NAPs / Agreements...
The legal variant and the in-spirit variant.
It boils down to the player's intent and what they want out of the agreement.
So if you both have a different way of looking at the agreement, then it was misunderstood from the very beginning.

For eg, what would you do if an unoccupied planet is less than 81 LYs away from your planet and ALSO less than 81 LYs from his planet?
Would you consider that your safe area or his safe area??
Would you consider that the planet belongs to the closest player?

If both players want the NAP to work, then both players will talk and sort it out .. but if even one party wants to go to war, then there is nothing that can keep the NAP alive.

There is always gray area.

Did the agreement specify which planets belong to each party? Are his warships within 82ly of a planet that he does not recognize as your planet? Or maybe his warships are orbiting a planet he believes is his, but is within 82ly of your planet.

What, exactly, is a "warship"? Any ship with a weapon on it? Do both parties agree to that definition?



What we need's a few good taters.

Hi ,

there are some more Questions about this :

- did the player follow other ships in his space and wants to intercept them ?
- are he following a fleet of one of your allies back in your space that you could attack with
a fleet already stay at the border ? ( would be a kind of backstabing )
- are you sure that the player see your planet and know's that he is in the 82 Lj ?
- How long do you have the arangment ? First time he moved in ships ?
- How big is the fleet ? Is it a shaff and you are in the Nubian timezone ?

And there are much more thinks to know.

PS : If I am not in the game I could have a look at it and tell YOU my meaning

No - entered intentionally.
Quote:

No.
Quote:

Definitely - he was warned and also sweeped minefields around that planet.
Quote:

About 5. I see his fleet movements in past 2-3 years.
Quote:

Not nubian yet - jihad BBs era. Big enough to pose a threat to nearby bases.

Quote:

Hmm - from definition, i think that it will be "armed" ship. Unarmed scouts, minelayers or freighters or any vessel without weapon from definition is not "warship".

If his ships in question are jihad BBs, then clearly that's a warship. But if they are chaff, or throwaway sweepers, maybe he does not think those count as warships, even though they have weapons.

Whisper It's not me Wink

But, it's a midway planet 75 LYs away from Asmodai planet and 71 LYs away from Player X's planet.
Player X colonised said planet after attacking unarmed ships in orbit (scouts + layers) (From what Asmodai has said).

I dunno, I would talk Furious Arguing and sort it out Cheers ...
or go to war and take back the planet. Hit over head

Surely those ships (if inside 82ly of an X planet) had forfeit protection.
Colonisation wasn't mentioned...

But they were within 81 lys of both player's planets..

Which means that if somebody broke the agreement by putting ships there, Asmodai did it first.

But i had only scouts and minelayers on contested planet(ie in 82ly radius from my and his planet). So not warships. Even after his colonization of planet that made our 82ly space overlapping.

Quote:

Contested planet is exactly 53,24 from my planet. Nmid - they were not shoot down(not thouse on orbit - i pulled them off seing that cruisers headint right into orbit and sweeping - i think that i described to you situation in PM). I had few scouts in space to patrol, and minelayer close to the border, and thouse were killed - after we signed ceasefire.

He deployed big group of cruisers and DD sweepers later, clearly with the intent to claim planet that is on my side, and is very close to my planets(within 60ly to be exact). Hopefully, all his ships forfeited protection so i can blast them out, wait for exit clause end and popdrop the planet legaly.

Quote:
If his ships in question are jihad BBs
W10 beamer cruisers - definitely warships, as this design is his main warship at this moment.

Yes, but any ships you send will also be forfeit protection, since they'll be within 82ly of his planet(s)...

Looks like an agreement with some interesting edge cases...

Perhaps that's why he wanted you to sign that NAP. Rolling Eyes

It would seem your neighbor crafted the NAP to better stop you "legally" without costly military commitments. Your best course of action might be to denounce the NAP as worthless, activate the 1-year exit clause and deal with his invasion accordingly. Dueling

Or you might try to renegotiate things with him, fully aware that he probably isn't interested in cooperating with you at all. Sneaky



So many Stars, so few Missiles!

In space no one can hear you scheme! Deal

I didn't understand what 53,24 means... Unless you are talking about Genesis? I can't see if anyone occupies that planet.
I see H2SO4 as 75 LYs from Nickel, 72 LYs from Rye..

Even if you both are equidistant, the point remains that you both are within 81 lys of the planet and as this is a grey area, you
1. either talk and sort it out or
2. you go to war on it.

Checking the past few turns, I don't see any salvage diamonds around H2SO4..

Yep, i`m talking about Genesis. Settled few years before agreement was sealed.Right now, it is really immaterial. I already choosed my solution:)
