How do you define a NAP?

Tuidjy · #1 April 4th, 2008, 07:59 PM

I require that I am imformed if something 'stompy' is crossing my lands without
being set on 'retreat'. I also will complain about a wall of temples being
built on my border, or about blood sacrifice. As a matter of fact, I am
about to cancel a NAP because of that. (not break it, although I was tempted)

But in a game where I have inherited a low dominion from the previous player,
building temples on a border where your dominion is already one province deep
into my lands is clearly a provocation.

In one of my games there is "NAP until player X is dead" interesting variant I think.

When i give someone a nap, they can rest assured that no spell, whether it can be traced to me or not, is being cast on them by me. I broadly define non aggression pact as doing nothing hostile towards that race.

I like to think my pretender can ascend even without my "getting my hands dirty." Get your hands dirty enough, you get a bad rep and one day players may not make a nap with you, and you may find yourself the 1 vs. the 2 that starts every game.

I have fun playing MP for a bit. Then the various NAPs like this turn me off the game again for a little while.

Eventually I forgot how incestuous MP games are and a I am a glutton for punishment once again

Incestuous? I suppose that is a pretty good description.

No joke one EA game we had gotten down to about a dozen players and 8-10 of them were in an alliance. Not NAP, but alliance. I was R'lyeh and the other guy not in the alliance was Niefelheim.

One of them declared war on me and the next turn pretty much all my provinces was hit by rituals from everybody on the map.

Eventually I think the game was left unfinished because they would not attack one another. It just staled until it was taken down. Funny stuff.

Foodstamp, that was just bad diplomacy from those players.. the idea must remain to become the sole remaining pretender

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

automatic background sounds when this sentence is spoken:
~I am immortal I have inside me blood of kings.
I have no rival no man can be my equal.
Take me to the future of your world.
Born to be kings.princes of the universe.~

~who wants to live forever~
