195 - Forum Diplomacy Steel Rex

[HeadHoncho]

Interesting issue arises on two fronts. Diplomacy must be public, but I am thinking specific information does not need to be?
For instance, some folks are swapping pop centers. Surely, they need not tell the entire world where those are, but only the trading partner.
Second, the UN will provide services for a price. Surely, one does not tell the world that Baron Yufonsis at CS should be killed next turn. That would be not so useful.
Just thinking out loud here....

This is a good point.  Perhaps I will do lots of recon and simply provide a list of targets that can be bid on - no name or location, just a rank, kingdom and minimum bid.

OOC: I think your plan is actually still in decent shape, all things considered... because people could easily pitch out early-kidnap targets to you, and then bidding could commence, since the only countermeasures are ones that would have had to have been taken the turn prior.

Of course, on the flip side that means assassinations of wizards and leaders, and things like sabotage and other items in the 900 range of orders, will generally be problematic since the target could just counterespionage.
