Year 5: Race A attacks Race B *again*
Race B: So were you lying earlier?
Race A (and I quote): "F*** You" and "Adam is a f******g prick" (Adam would be me)


I'm a long time friend of NeoGrendal. He sent me the email thread and Race B's email was more confrontational/insulting than the otherwise factually correct timeline suggests, resulting in Grendal's F-you overreaction.

Having played in many games with Grendal I know that he is not someone to push/bend rules or agreements. At times when we have been allied I've pushed him to be more lawyerish in interpreting treaty language than he was comfortable doing. I also know that he's the father of two kids and the co-owner of his own company; he's very busy and really has no business playing Stars Twisted Evil So I'm highly confident that things happened exactly as he explains them.

OTOH, as a player who takes a very lawyerly view of treaty language I disagree with Grendal that it is a violation of the NAP for Race B and ally to consider the treaty void. From Grendal's treaty text:
"2. Aggressive Actions as defined by this treaty:
c. Setting a treaty member to enemy"

Grendal did not mean to do this, but he did and so he inadvertently violated the treaty. Now if Race B and ally wished to continue the treaty they certainly could; no harm has occured to them, while Grendal has lost ships and the pop on them. However, if Race B and ally are having buyer's remorse about having signed the treaty and wish they could get out of it, then Grendal's mistake has handed them a, IMO, legitimate excuse to do so.

Finally, the questioning of Grendal's honesty right out of the gate was, IMO, over the top and does merit an apology along the lines of Grendal's effusive apologies for being a moron and overreacting.
