But it'd be just that, a presumption. Again, it's all conjecture at this point. Basically, it's back to whatever opinion you want to have of the GPA. You've always been free to formulate your own opinion of us, good or bad, approving or disapproving. But the accusation is no more than gossip now, and to elevate it to some factually-relevant position would be unreasonable and unjustifiable. EDIT: I'm off to bed, so I won't reply for a few hours.

Prove him guilty or he isn't. There isn't anything more to be said on this subject. If you cannot positively prove him guilty, then he isn't. He need not prove his innocence. Also, giving them someone else's pee doesn't mean you took drugs, it just means you didn't give them your pee.

Even with your clarification, Belisarius isn't remotely guilty of anything. It'd be like saying that, if I refused to let you drug test me, then I have taken some kind of drugs. No, I just didn't let you drug test me, it's really as simple as that.

The burden of proof lies on PB to prove his guilt. He is innocent until proven guilty, and he has not yet been proven guilty.

How does this make Belisarius guilty rather than PB's accusations null and void?

Therefore the accusation is meaningless and without substance. I can throw out any wild accusation I want, but without proving it, it's meaningless.

Counterproof implies there is proof to counter, which there isn't.

Considering there is no way to prove PB's claims, the only way in which Belisarius could possibly be seen as guilty is if he were presumed guilty until proven innocent. There is no way to prove if PB is lying or telling the truth, thus any further discussion is merely unsubstantiated conjecture.

He was using them to make an example. That he used them is a testament to how friendly they are, as the example was made intentionally ridiculous to mirror the allegations OP has made.

I don't claim to speak for the GPA, but from my own perspective, we're guilty of nothing, thus there's nothing we should defend against. To defend against it would lend credence to it. Knowing Belisarius reasonably well, it's utterly preposterous to me that he'd do something like this.

No.

It isn't clear to me, nor to any of the GPA at all for that matter. If you can prove your claim, by all means do it.

What kind of evidence would satisfy you? For something to deserve being proven wrong, it must first be proven right. Otherwise, we'd spend every waking moment of our lives disproving literally everything that isn't true. It is not, and don't pretend that it is. There is no evidence at all to support the claim that we've spied on PB.

Jesus. For one, you can't even prove that any wrong has been done. Two, even if wrong has been done, which it hasn't, that doesn't mean GPA would want to take you down, let alone everyone in the game. Stop using hyperbole to incite anger or persecution. GPA has no interest at all in involving itself in interalliance affairs. Why would we breach our most treasured principle to... spy on a nation who has done no wrong at all to us?

Implying that a member of the GPA, a government member at that, would breach neutrality, a principle we take very seriously, for no other reason than to "rustle someone's jimmies" is itself absurd.

GPA had a run-in with PB in the past round(s), and while I was not here to witness it, it isn't unreasonable to suspect she might have an unfavorable opinion of us.

What motive could Belisarius possibly have to spy PB anyway? GPA is steadfast and unwavering in its neutrality. Even if that weren't true, why would he spy PB of all people?

I, for one, can, given her history.

I'll audit the seminars.

What were you doing (or trying to do): I was trying to sell 10 infrastructure in one my cities. What happened (describe thoroughly please): After inputting -10 into the Buy/Sell Infrastructure textbox and pressing "Go", a message appears saying, "You must free up improvement slots before you can sell that much infrastructure." Link to page: https://politicsandwar.com/city/id=16681 Any other relevant information: I have tried selling up to two of my improvements (leaving me with 8/10 slots filled, 2/10 open) to no avail.
