Stabbing contests?
Games for young infiltrators:
Duck, duck, stab!

Pin the Tail on Duke (with a knife!)

Musical Road Signs
If at first you don't succeed, don't take up skydiving.

Rock, paper, very sharp scissors.
After all it's a roleplaying game.

What will they do once 80% of infiltrators have a ban on their head?

Start bribing judges to lift the bans. The ruler of this realm would need to be a *masterful* diplomat, but if you can pull off the truly neutral thing, you can always offer your services in return for lifting bans. As long as people truly believe that you are impartial and can serve them just as well as you served their enemies, you might actually be able to do these kinds of things and have people cut you some slack.

Yep, that'd be the idea. If a realm has a ban on one of "our" infiltrators, then we would include the removal of such a ban in the next contract with that realm, and the gold price of any action would be greatly reduced because of it.

If you ever actually get it started, I'd probably join. I've been waiting for the one on FEI to start. But I don't think it ever will.

I probably would too. Don't even know if I'd play an infiltrator though or if I'd shoot for ambassador and run around negotiating all those contracts.

Probably not, The infils that were going to start it have either been executed or paused :)

My thought exactly.

An infil realm would need lots of ambassadors.

Is I/D a possible class? That would be AWESOMELY entertaining to play.

Nope, both are sub classes.

If ambassadors could be given gold by being in another realm then yes. Otherwise, I don't see how an ambassador is necessary when the Ruler can simply take all offers.

Because there should be a massive amount of diplo worked need to smooth relations. A super active ruler, like Jenred in his prime might be able to handle the volume of messages and responses needed, otherwise trusted ambassadors will be needed to settle things when people object to certain contracts being fulfilled.
