What the hell is even happening this game? Is there more turn-split nonsense? Why has this suddenly become a contentious issue? I've been here for 7 years now and for the vast majority of that time, I can't remember there ever being this much of a problem with turn-splits. And no-one ever used to PM their enemies the turn they declare war like we (often) do now. Half the time the first warning I had that I had been attacked was seeing me lose a city in civstats.

Edit: That is to say, the PMing of war declarations should be something that reduces conflicts over turn-order, and yet said conflicts are increasing. I didn't mean to say that PMing war decs is bad.

It annoys me too and I don't think it's a problem with the rules.

But what has PMing the war declaration to do with this. I remember that this was happening even back in PB39 and I find it just nice to tell the other side, so that they can start planning

My point was that in the past it wasn't done very often (in my memory), and we still had very few issues with turn order. So now that we're more courteous, there should be even less turn-order conflicts.

Sorry, it wasn't worded very well, I didn't mean to say that PMing is bad.

WHYYYY AM I STILL ALIVE????

Dammit MJMD, couldn't you have waited until Civac actually killed me? Or maybe attacked sooner, so I wouldn't have suicided all my ships hoping to get a lucky kill before I was eliminated?
