I've copied the plans for TP04 into Thousand Parsec Wiki.

I like this too. I think it will end up being ruleset specific.

There should however be support in the protocol for changing settings like alliances and such incase the ruleset developers think otherwise.

I’ve updated the text to read correctly now.

Actually I hope diplomacy is never forced. Deception, breaking of agreements – the backstab – is part of the game.

One thing to remember – if someone backstabs you, there trustworthiness in later games is reduced – so there are long term consequences – but it should be there as an option.

Great to see this charter, any estimates about when each version will be released?

Is there a typo in second point for TP03, where you are mentioning TP04?

Oh and about diplomacy. You say that if a player says she will not attack another one server will prevent this happening. Will this also be managed by each game separately? Because this can be a tactical trick, you say you will not attack and ten attack anyways the unprepared victim.
Maybe this could be a setting in each game so that you can force game to be fair or not force that.
