 Ok, let’s just say up front that I am many things, a moron, incompetent, lazy.. and maybe a little bit of a hothead, but that being said let me play this out for you and you tell me what you think.

The setup

This game has several two player teams prepositioned away from other players. Early on in the game my team has decent exchange of information with the team farthest from us. I was interested in pursuing the relationship, looking at the other team as an anvil where my team can hammer the players between us. As it turned out the team farthest from us does more of the hammering than my team does.

I suggested to the other team that we should all set each other to neutral and edit our default battle orders to attack enemy only. So in the first instance where our ships happen to be in the same place there is a battle.. and I am the one that attacks.. I sincerely have no idea how I screwed up these orders. In this skirmish no ships are lost. I feel really bad about this and I honestly have no clue how I got this wrong. The only thing I can point to is some discrepancy in doing my turn between my home computer and work computer. Unfortunately the other team took this really hard and they are convinced I did this on purpose. Now remember; the battle resulted in no loses to either side, I’m thinking no harm no foul. Implications that I’m capable of doing this again are thrown around so I get a little testy but I try to smooth it over (in the end I probably blew things a little out of proportion). BTW; did I mention I’m a moron for letting this happen?

I try very hard and I convince them to sign an NAP. Here is the completed text which includes amendments that all parties agree to.

NAP:

1. Minimum 10 years duration.

a. 3 year exit clause can be exercised after the initial 10 years. Exit clause must be submitted as an in-game message to all party members with a three duration after receipt of message before hostilities can begin. Example: Player A submits exit request as in game message. Players B, C and D receive the message on Year 2479. All players change status of treaty members to enemy for the year 2482. (status change submitted on 2481)
b. All player party to the treaty must have all other players in treaty set to neutral if not friend. Setting a treaty member to Enemy will be a violation of the treaty.

2. Aggressive Actions as defined by this treaty:
a. Pop-dropping on a treaty member without the express permission of the planet holder
b. Minesweeping
i. Except when clearing mines from around a owners planet or freight travel lanes, or preparing for offensive actions against non-pact members in the Stranger arm. Except when clearing mines from around a owners planet or freight travel lanes.
c. Setting a treaty member to enemy
d. Shooting down of another players ships or orbitals, without the express permission
e. Stealing of minerals from planets, ships or space salvage.
i. In the event of a space battle a treaty member has the right to claim the salvage if he was the majority in ship loss.
ii. In the interest of securing the salvage from the enemy a player not involved in the action may recover the minerals but should return the minerals to the lawful owner, minus a 20% salvage fee. (OPTIONAL)
f. Mass Packets may not be launched before the expiry of the 3 year exit clause (i.e. on the same turn as setting someone to enemy)


Ok so flash forward to a couple of years into the NAP. It is mother’s day weekend and I’ve spent way too much time at my daughters school helping out with a Mayfair celebration on Saturday (you know.. little kids dancing around a maypole with flowers and ribbons in their hair) . I know I need to make a few tweaks to my turn, but I’m too tired so I wait. The next day is Mother’s day… There is brunch, I have to run to the office to get some files I forgot to bring home, and then I go to install a new front door for my house which I promised my wife that I would do (y ...
