i guess the answer goes to sarah walker 

no NAP's are not part of the game but they are part of the gameplay let me explain 

you cant go to embassy and click a tab called NAP's no all you get is leagues and their status (ally, enemy ,,,,etc)

however some leagues would decide to make peace together where a group of leagues agree to not attack each other sometimes even without being allies such agreements are NAP's 

now in game there is no NAP that would strict raids or siege (as the restriction found in attacking an allied league beacon)

however it is there empowered by the moral and honor of the leagues that would create/ join one 

NAP's are NOT against rules because it is based on players decision's ( the same way two players decide to not attack each other NAP's are at leagues level)

hope that helps 

Hi!

NAPs are not cheats. Game mechanics doesn't allow you to limit actions between two leagues. That's like in real life - by default you agree not to commit any crimes, but there won't be any error messages if you try.

The same here - Diplomacy is more about trust and reliability than real in-game limits. There still can be some people who break the rules set my League management, and there's still a chance you will be attacked by an ally who was just pretending to be your friend.

To sum up, NAPs are allowed, any other kinds of diplomacy are allowed. But going against your League's diplomacy is also allowed (you may be kicked out of your League for doing that, but you still don't break any game rules).

the Meta game.  thats what keeps me in this. 

i once coined my way to the top and i watched that kill a game.  but in the process, i learned the finer points of leadership and diplomacy. I learned the shadow game. the game that is played out  like a game of chess. where my actions cause reactions and so forth.   T

being able to predict what the rest of you will do if i do this or that is what keeps thrill in the game.

organzing players and leagues, and manipulating those relationships is what really moves this game.

My take is yes NAP are part of the game, But the NAP in question is rather as Walker has said a ''form of cheating''.

We must not any of us not forget what the ''NAP'' in question really propose, a bunch of super leagues doing a bunch of handshaking and killing a bunch of little leagues every time the marshal in the bunch of super league decide to breath like now.  

I quit these game twice, saw 3 good league destroyed. and it was partly due to these NAP and the consequences it have when fighting start, and blood is spilled. Now a bunch of super league are at it again, the Beacon map is utterly ruined. When the fighting stop, when the handshaking starts,  and you see the happy freaky faces flying in PM of these super leagues, the bunch of small leagues will suffer. 

Agreements like these naturally ruin the game. league X and league Y should be allowed to fight alone without and interference of League A and B. All leagues should be alllowed to have a beacon anywhere on the map, whenever they deem it fit to have it. the NAP places the map on a table and cut it in pieces. first it was in 3, portion, then 2 then 4 Now it seem to be getting to 3. 

1. KT weather they can hold or not hold a beacon in the south west, hold a over 20 beacons there, we saw they could really hold as much when someone down over 7 of their beacons. What was the consequences, More fighting and dire sufferings to smaller leagues. 

2. Destiny worthy now it seem to hold only 2 beacon, will utter loudly that they own without a doubt any beacon in the North east. They too it seem can't hold their terrotory

3. Anarchy in SE

4. Unforgiven and In the West

5. KoC, a league long on a death row, hold NW together with its ally KoA

Weather you see it as a breach or rule, is up to you. I see it as discrimination, And a show of of imperialism. I must include that all those leagues are Pro English league, So in other words we will likely never ever have a league in the top ten that is not pro English. Should these NAP persist, I see  no way the game will be fair in any level.

If they're "unwritten" then as a leader, you're failing your league. Everyone needs to know what the operating rules are within your league, and there are plenty of ways to pass on this information to new players.
