Rules governing war declarations due to AI diplo game option:

Is there a scenario I've missed?

But you should only tell the player that the DoW came via diplo. You should not tell them who bought you in.

I think the scenario I missed was when player A offers player B a war vs C for war vs C trade. Then the declaration comes when B accepts.

At this point I think:
- B should PM A to say they accepted
- B should PM C to say they've declared war and what the turn split is
- A should PM C to say they've declared war and what the turn split is

B probably shouldn't say they got bought into the war, that'll be fairly obvious anyway.

My original post was about B being bought into an existing war (or very rarely being asked to attack someone A isn't at war with). That seems pretty straightforward:
- B should PM C to say they've declared war and what the turn split is

I don't have a strong opinion on if B should PM A to say they've accepted, it's only an issue if A gets a peace offer from C and their acceptance depends on what B is doing. But you can find that out by pressing F4 anyway.

Quote:Which brings me to what is probably going to be the easiest rule of thumb: The offer to declare war must be treated by the player sending it as an actual declaration of war, and can only be sent at a time it would be legal to declare war.

Does this cover all of the war declaration stuff? Nothing else in the AI Diplo option affects turn splits.

1) explicitly state in their first post they don't mind a global lurker coming in and making basic common sense moves, if they are still left to play with under an hour to go

OR

2) if you don't want to do the above, but occasionally need a lurker to cover, post here ahead of time and give specific instructions in your thread. If you forget tough noogies, you lose your moves this turn.

I would advise against pauses if at all possible this early on, the game needs to keep moving. And this can all be revisited later when player count thins and empire size balloons

If anything missing, please post and it can be added.

After working 4 weeks of 60+ hours (with a high of 76!), I'm taking a 3day weekend (fri/sat/sun) and going to see family.

I'll have the laptop, so I don't expect any problems PMFT, but I've finally put my password in my thread.

I can help if needed.

I will probably need a short pause for this turn.
