Jesus, I can't express how much I love these. Beautifully written, brilliantly entertaining and just all round excellent. These high quality posts are exactly what the forum needs and I'm sure many people look forward to reading these as soon as they are up. I just hope you don't get worn out, and that you keep them coming as it definitely makes the world affairs that much more exciting! I think it would be great if people chucked their views and whatever in the discussion thread as well, as I'm sure these blogs can help generate discussion and interest.
After saying that, I feel I should try contribute my thoughts as well. In regards to the declaration prompting members to betray their tribe I am also not a fan of it. While no doubt effective at the early parts of the game, mainly as a "scare" tactic (I say scare tactic, as it can cause mass hysteria) I feel it can also cause more harm than good. As mentioned it will most likely disrupt communication and potentially put players on edge curious as to if anyone has defected and trusting only those on a need-to-know basis. However I feel using these "dirty" tactics, can sometimes be a detriment. It immediately puts a target on your back for other tribes, this tribe is willing to go to extreme lengths to get their way, perhaps we should be cautious and avoid diplomacy with them ect. Additionally even though there is an 80 tribe limit, and therefore you are likely to convince a few to give their information, I think you are equally as likely to receive false information as well and if it is true that you already have spies in their tribe why would you draw attention to it (Making me believe they might not actually have spies in that tribe) all you are doing is making your enemy more cautious, safe and less risk taking. Just my thoughts.
