Also, sometimes when you alt tab out, with a typed message (but unsend) in the message screen, it just deletes the whole message. Great UI .

UI development might have been better there but it is indeed a strategic mistake if one _lacks situational awereness_ on to whom he/shes is sending such a delivery. this is (the simplest form of) risk management: if you feel uncertain of what you did you can always redo your turn. On the other hand, if you r sure you did the right thing (or unsure that you did but lazy to make sure of it by playing the turn again) you go forth and send the 2h-file. the outcome is on you.

everyone makes mistakes, no argue on that - however there are more drastic mistakes done on regular basis, and no compensation received for them. being sloppy is being sloppy, theres no shame in winning a game, battle or war because your enemy is one. mistake causing a (major) default is strategic - from the perspective of the one who gains, at least. enemy, in a game and in a real life, is free to take advantage of it.

but like I said, very noble, indeed.

The only thing I personally would have sent back is a thank you -note being assured that nex time the sender pays more attention on what hes doing. Of course, I would be happy to sell them back with discount.........maybe.

this made me think...if possible...

how do you guys perceive, say, spreading mis/false information in order to gain advantage in a MP game? or any other forms of ruses?

scenario:

I send a falsefied message to thirdparty, making it to look like it was a part of the plan to attack the thirdparty and received by him because of a simple misclick? a forged Zimmerman telegram, if you get my point, to make other people fight each other for your gain.

there are other ruses too, but this one came to my mind?

this is maybe the purest form of Macchiavellian diplomacy, so it is ok! (right?)

So far I have been in understandig it would be ok, in every MP TBS game, from Civ to Winplan to Dom, but now I became suspicious.
