Order of the Alliance

Resolve - steadfastness to ones allies and refusal to abandon the effort. These traits mark the Knight of the Alliance through the shifting allegences of the game. Although the allies may change, the Diplomats resolve remains constant.

We have no community rule on this, not even a "best practices" sort of thing... So as far as any dc game goes, it's perfectly legal.

However, GMs can write their own house rules on the matter. I do know of one GM that does so and prohibits the forwarding of mail.

Like you say here tho, (and like most tactics) it is best used when it's not expected. So building a reputation for such is terrible... but if you have a situation where you can do something creative w a forwarded, quoted, or doctored mail, and you think it will be received well or accomplish your goal, then by all means...

This message is in reply to post 20016:

My query wasn't really about whether it's good or bad play - like most tactics, it seems to me to be bext used sparingly - but the impression I was given was that it was close to illegal on the site.
