...I send a PM to the player asking them to check the game chat in whatever game it is. I do not repeat the truce offer or make any additional comments in the PM. I simply state "Please check the game chat in game xxxxxxx."...
Quoted from another thread.
this gives *some* potential for edge in negotiations. By being more aware of the in game diplomacy than other players, a group of 2 may be able to negotiate details out and surprise others who only notice when it becomes their turn... one can for example delay diplomacy till after enemy moves but still reach the ally who otherwise may have not looked in to notice until it was his turn. And thus he agrees right before your turn but too late for enemy and no one else knows about the PM edge.
Is the quoted strategy acceptable or illegal?
