Politics and Wars type of Section

This is more of a suggestion for the forum. With guild Warfare coming out soon. I would personally like to see a section that guilds could make announcements in.

Guilds could make posts and declare war upon other guilds or factions air grievances out in the open they could make posts about who they have a Mutual Defense pact with or Non - Agrression pact. Who is an ally who would they like to kill on sight. How is that white peace going? What guilds have a secret blood pact? Who is a Protectorate or Sub-guild of whom?

Ok we made a treaty where does everyone that agrees to follow it sign it exactly? Where can it be openly discussed? Who said what? Who is wrong who is right? Why did that war even begin? Players can read and write and decide for themselves.

What guild or guilds have the best spin doctors? Propaganda machines? Ok you say you are a light guild but are you really? You guys dont seem to be evil not really...Those guys are really evil!


It could be set up for either both the dark side and the light. Or perhaps seperate. Since light and dark oppose one another no real news there after all but consider the effect of learning that this light guild and that dark guild have secret pacts...and the list goes on and on. I think it would add a new dimension to the game.Plus as time goes on a history maybe of events for new players and old. Thoughts...

would love to see a diplomatic section
people would be able to clearly state their position which is impossible in the fog of global, via pm or in the limited space available at the moment

I like the idea....BUT.....2 very important points which you seem to be forgetting..

1) Treaties are supposed to be ...secret...War is something that cannot be hidden and most of the times Alliances want to be "advertised" by the parties involved, but it is very possible that some Guilds will not want to reveal the treaties they have with other Guilds, in order to put their plans in motion..in the long run...

2) Having the knowledge of what is going on between Guilds, enemy Guilds or even the enemy Faction itself can take advantage of the information for obvious reasons...

Some treaties are meant to be secret while others are meant to be known. Each have important points and advantages. That is my point guilds may desire to advertise or they may choose not too. I hope guilds create secret treaties and alliances to further plans set into motion. That will help keep things interesting those types of deals are meant for private messages. However there are times when it can be prudent and advisable to allow other Alliances and treaties and pacts to be known by everyone.

Of course that is why there is a thing called disinformation. It would be up to the players guild leaders , vice leaders , diplomats, generals and officers to share information be it true or false from thier perspectives. Some might and will be open and honest about certain things or at least appear so at times while others are quiet and reclusive. Different play styles it creates a game inside the game.

We don't have a problem with adding a Diplomacy Forum. We are working on our new Forums, so it is perfect timing...

Cool beans. It may or may not go over well. At least nobody will need to code it and play test it and it can be dismantled readily  

Thanks.
