Would You Consider This A Backstab?

[sachmo]

It was not cool for your ally to do that, but unless his action gave an advantage to your enemy, or he attacked you, I wouldn't say he backstabbed you. Maybe he didn't think about what you would think of his action?

Then, please offer me a reason that he COULD have done it but meant it in a friendly way. I can't think of one and it's why I posted here asking.

WElll...uh., if it was me, and this refers to what I think it does, it was cause he thought you wanted that WP removed and he told his ships to travel to waypoint X...which happened to take them through that system...let's talk offline IF this is the game I'm thinking of. And, uh, sorry!

EDIT: see, THIS is what happens when I am in too many games. I forget things like which WPs are dewsired by my allies and which are not, and I end up doing my turn at 2 in the morning and spending 5 minutes on it...argh...I'm a reliable and trustworthy - but clearly FLAKELY ally...

I would take him down HARD for that. Take him down there are others for allies.

Well, sachmo, not sure what you mean but I'm talking to alarikf offline now. alarikf's message is a bit confusing, especially this part, "...cause he thought you wanted that WP removed and he told his ships to travel to waypoint X...which happened to take them through that system...". One can't move to a warp point and then close it. You have to be sitting on it at the beginning of the turn. As to traveling, the fleet I suspect of doing it didn't travel for 2 turns.

But, recognizing I could have the wrong idea who did it, I'm discussing it with alarikf now. But the fleet in question has a single ship there where the hole disappeared named "Vaccuum". Might just be a fluke. I'll find out before I take any stupid action.

He is about to break the treaty with you so be careful.
