Speaking for myself, I do not cross game in a vengeful sort of way. I won't go after someone in game "A" due to a stab by the same player in game "B". BUT I...

Andrew, It would be hard to get people to open up to ADMITTING to crossgaming even though I would expect Packrat is right in his assumption that it happens all...
PS: I think Packrat is one of the most honest people(within himself as well) in this game today, speaking from an emotional standpoint that is.;^) Quite...
Actually, there was one game where Mr. Watson WAS coming after me and he admitted it was due to my play in earlier games. I believe it was just before we...

Packrat, Ah, semantics! The subtleties of letter writing, the policies of politics, saying a thing without truly saying it. Now I think I understand what you...
I am a lawyer, and have been on the receiving end of a non-stab by Scott, and strange as it may seem, it felt like a stab at the time. :^))) He may split...
First: I don't stab allies. Or, at least I haven't yet. Would I? Perhaps. But NOT likely. I did pull out of an alliance in a game, but I warned the player...
This whole discussion strikes as just part of the meta-game of Diplomacy, which we all play so well around here. Use whatever words you want, but you can't win...

All that would have started it was to ask about forming an alliance. Then we would have exchanged one or two emails and that would have been that. I'd have...
