Before the turn was posted I was rather sure that Yellowjacket will sweep skies clean and argued against it because I didn't want an "do only one thing good" aircraft.

Moskurg, are you gonna sign the treaty or not?

Glory to Arstotzka.

Glory to Arstotzka.

I still don't see the point of the treaty.

I still don't see the point of the treaty.

We have a whole company of Moskurg prisoners. High Command on both sides want us to sign an arms treaty to ensure their safety. Also, the simple point of the treaty is to ensure that neither Arstotzka nor Moskurg do anything to cruel to kill the other. Of course, you could just ignore the orders given to you by your High Command, but that's your choice.

This is what I'm talking about—what's the point? In-character, Arstotzka and Moskurg hate each other, so it makes sense for them to be cruel. Out-of-character, why should we impose limits on weapon design? I still don't see how banning a bunch of stuff would make the game more fun.

I think some people have the notion that gas, or WMDs, or possibly other tactics might make the game less fun. Indeed, you could ban anything that makes the game less fun, even if it's not something that was banned in historical treaties- for example, you could make a treaty that forbids the decryption of encrypted communications.

I actually proposed that anti- decryption article.

 Who wants to dig the thread for the latest iteration of the treaty?

[Andres]

The latest version of my treaty, minus the non-weapon stuff.

Proposed Arstotzka-Moskurg War Treaty

• The intentional usage of any gaseous or liquid acidic, paralytic, or nerve agent that can directly harm humans on humans is prohibited
• The intentional usage of any weapon that utilizes harmful natural or engineered diseases that can directly harm humans on humans is prohibited
• The usage or production of any weapons capable of spreading radioactive contamination over any area is prohibited

Concur - Because we do not want "dump an extra revision to make decryption hard" moves.

This treaty is goin' through next turn, methinks.

[Devastator]

I don't think there is even one signatory on team Moskurg to that..

[andrea]

then, perhaps you guys could make a counterproposal?

[Kashyyk]

Proposed Arstotzka-Moskurg War Treaty

• The intentional usage of any solid, gaseous or liquid acidic, paralytic, or nerve agent that can directly harm humans on humans is prohibited
• The intentional usage of any weapon that utilizes harmful natural or engineered diseases that can directly harm humans on humans is prohibited
• The usage or production of any weapons capable of spreading radioactive contamination over any area is prohibited
• Only the intended recipient of an encoded message is permitted to decode it

I submit this as an amendment to the proposed treaty.

Evilcherry is Moskurg. I take it you're voting against, though?
