[QUOTE="Cadfan, post: 4206149, member: 40961"] The problem for me isn't the fact that there are subcategories. Its how different this particular alleged subcategory is, and how "convince someone that bad things will happen unless they take action" is so much like Diplomacy. 1. "Lend us troops so that we might bring glory to your cause by routing these orcs." 2. "Lend us troops or else the orcs will pour over your border like a flood, burning all in their path. Thousands will die, your holdings shattered, and even if they are repelled before they reach your castle, the cost will be dire and famine will undoubtedly follow in the years to come as your people rebuild and replant their torched fields." 3. "Lend us troops or else Thunk here is going to break your arm. Right Thunk?" The first seems to unquestionably be Diplomacy. The last unquestionably Intimidate. I just think that the one in the middle is pretty clearly Diplomacy as well. Its practically identical to the first example, except that instead of alluding to good results if aid is given, the player is mentioning bad results if aid is not given. This practically goes hand in hand. Meanwhile, threats are clearly off in their own territory. [/QUOTE]
