Forwarding e-mails - pedros   (Mar 20, 2011, 6:28 am)
Hi. I'm playing my first game on the site, and was very surprised to be told that there is a strong antipathy (if no more) to players forwarding messages in a game to third parties.

I've never met

There is a wide range of responses to this tactic, and you are correct that some players deplore this tactic -- myself included.

My reasons are thus: like PBM Diplomacy before it, online Diplomacy
Forwarding e-mails (Community) fencertim Mar 20, 10:31 am
I personally dislike the tactic. I have ben forwarded several e-mails through various games and on different diplomacy sites. Godzilla is corret, i am very less likely to discuss sensitive information
Forwarding e-mails (Community) DancingQueen Mar 22, 03:32 pm
As a long time F2F player, I have never understood the problem that the email community has with forwarding email. I have always taken it just as I would someone telling me what another player is say
Forwarding e-mails (Community) Godzilla Mar 23, 06:17 am
It is certainly true that emails can be heavily edited before forwarding. I've been in the Diplomacy community long enough that I used to play by mail (gasp!), and it is perhaps from that forum that
Forwarding e-mails (Community) pedros Mar 23, 06:33 am
My query wasn't really about whether it's good or bad play - like most tactics, it seems to me to be bext used sparingly - but the impression I was given was that it was close to illegal on the site.
Forwarding e-mails (Community) Godzilla Mar 23, 09:15 am
pedro, you asked about the strong feelings associated with message-passing, and you got the answer, "It varies". Some players hate it, and some are indifferent to the tactic.

As for it being "clos
Forwarding e-mails (Community) Blueraider0 Mar 23, 11:03 am
I think comparing "almost illegal" to "almost pregnant" is a little silly. Nevertheless, some players consider it near heresy. I do it rarely, but I'll do it in particularly dire circumstances. I'v
Forwarding e-mails (Community) Godzilla Mar 23, 12:23 pm
Silly comparison? Not really. Now the expression "kind of pregnant" is silly, but I didn't make it up. However, nothing wrong with the analogy. One cannot be "kind of pregnant" -- one is or one is
Forwarding e-mails (Community) rodtheworm Mar 24, 05:22 pm
I see what you mean here. I've done it in the past, and in my early games I thought I was being clever by doctoring or even faking entire emails from other players - this was on some of the USAK/othe
Forwarding e-mails (Community) FlapJack Mar 26, 02:42 am
My take on forward emails is this: I don't do it but as far as I am concerned when it comes to diplomacy between players all is fair in love and war. I try not deal with players that letter pass but I
Forwarding e-mails (Community) FuzzyLogic Mar 23, 12:13 pm
We have no community rule on this, not even a "best practices" sort of thing... So as far as any dc game goes, it's perfectly legal.

However, GMs can write their own house rules on the matter. I d
Forwarding e-mails (Community) sgttodd Mar 31, 10:02 am
No GM needs to regulate the use of valid game tactics that do not interfere with the management of the game. Any GM that does should immediately be placed in The Order of the Pansy.
