No need to apologize, we have players from around the world. And, your English is better than my ability in a second language.

Thanks for the warning. At that point we should be well into the game and can maybe put the game on hold (I find it's most important to avoid delays early on when turns only take a few minutes to complete).

Hmm, so I guess two players were at war and one of them said "here's all the info on nation x's pretender if anyone wants to attack him"? While I don't think this violates Dominions etiquette, I do want this to be a friendly game and I can see your point about how that it would come across as aggressive. It might be better to just say that you can provide intelligence to anyone willing to help in the attack on nation x.
As far as abandoning games goes, there's no requirement to sign a pledge but of course I agree with the idea of following through on games you sign up for. If you get off to a bad start or suffer heavy losses in battle or just aren't enjoying a particular game, I encourage you to stick with it and try your best. There's a decent chance you'll learn something new, and even if you don't you are making the game a better experience for the other players. If they do the same when the shoe is on the other foot and you are doing well while they are struggling, MP just becomes a better experience all around.
If you decide that you just don't like Dominions, or at least Dominions MP, in general and want to stop playing then things become more difficult. In this case it's understandable you'd want out but it would be nice if you could have the courtesy to line up a sub instead of just disappearing. BTW, this is another reason not to start too many games early on - if you decide you don't like Dominions MP all of a sudden many games are facing the need to replace a player instead of one or two.
Re: First Blood - Newbie game - Send pretenders!
Please let us know if you need help with anything. Hopefully we can get started soon.
Thanks for noticing that. TaoCuathon's not on the forums at the moment so I think you may be right. I'll message the Caelum player from the llamaserver.
