    Make deals a game mechanic. Like NAP, but unbreakable, or at least with great consequences if broken.

    For instance, if both sides want to make a deal/arrangement/call it whatever, then they'll have a game mechanic they can use to force the terms to be abided by. If they don't want to enter into the deal using the game mechanic, then obviously they plan to break the deal at some point, so refusal to use the game mechanic reveals intentions ahead of time, and nobody can really complain when things go sour.

    The game mechanic creates an in-game circumstance that cannot be broken, or has some heavy penalty for breaking, such as entering the two parties into an instant 48-hour war with +50% gains for the kingdom that was the victim of the breaking and -50% gains for the kingdom that was the dealbreaker.

    Take the betrayal out of the game unless you want to open yourself up to the possibility, plain and simple. Sure there are probably things I'm not thinking of, but probably nothing that can't be worked out.

    Deals are and should be a trust system. Removing or attempting to remove politics from the game would only create a further sinkhole. The game is sinking fast enough on its own. Please don't suggest idea's that would sink it faster.

    This is faulty logic and generally untrue.

    Utopia is a very fluid game and you need to be able to go with the motions. Also, just making agreements a game mechanic doesn't mean that kds have to use it. I'm pretty sure Abs don't use in-game CFs even though they have NAPs with each other.

    Trust is clearly a very difficult concept for many left in this game, the complaints from which have already been cited by many as the reason this game is sinking. You don't know that it will sink any slower or quicker with the introduction of a deal game mechanic, you're just speculating. It's already going fast enough, so realistically, any quicker will do no more damage, because either way is still a downward direction. Decline is decline. It's worth the chance that it will at least level out or improve, because the speed at which it is declining is essentially irrelevant.

    I can make a deal with whoever I want and I don't need a game mechanic to do so:

    <UG> Hey dude. Lets not hit each other this age.
    <Verminub> Okay deal.

    Bam *****es. A deal that didn't need a game mechanic. I'm a genius.
