Agree with banning text. The city/resource trades probably need to go, too. Stating that 'X will attack Y' is a pretty big information leak.

Also, it's funny how Dave's 'GASPER' became 'PERGAS.'

Looking forward to someone getting overeager with the spelling and the recipient accepting an advantageous city trade.

Love how it seems to take a while for anyone to figure out that Horse + Copper = Knights, not Horse Archers and Axemen.

I'm not getting this, I may need to get caught up on one of the threads. Knights need iron, not copper. Maybe that's why?

That's true. It's still funny, though. I also like how Dave tried to send Commodore 'Hit Gaspar with Knights,' and Commodore interpreted it as 'Gaspar will hit you with Horse Archers and Axes.'

This is why I'm less concerned than some of you about sneaky messages sent via AI Diplo. I do agree that spelling out words with city names is over the line, but overall I'm not too concerned about the whole thing in general, because it's just SO prone to crucial misinterpretations that you can never put too much stock in it. Honestly if I got a coded message from someone and I was like 75% sure I'd cracked it, that's not really enough for me to take it too seriously because the risk of acting on wrong information is too high.

I'd go as far as spam worthless information to confuse and fluster my opponents

isn't that pretty much what dave is doing here?

Oh yeah, to Mist and Commodore. He just intersperses it with useful information, rendering it useless as well.

Do you guys think yuris actually wasn't going to hit Gaspar/Noblehelium? I think he wasn't. Putting a huge stack like that on the border seems a bit too obvious.
