Diplomacy

From Vanguard WikiSpheres

Diplomacy is the art of bending others to your will through various forms of discussion, both friendly and not. As a successful diplomat you can make friends and influence people, advancing your goals. gaining fame and power, and even, in cooperation with other diplomats, affecting the daily life people in a town or city.

Parley

On Telon, this art has been codified into an an alternating sequence of negotiation steps called a parley (a two person battle of words); in each step you or your opponent will either make a statement or choose to keep quiet and listen. Each statement you or your opponent makes may affect the relative influence one has over the other. By having the upper hand during a step you can advance your goals (if your influence is in balance, neither of you advance any goals during the step)

When entering into parley, you and your opponent each have a goal in mind which will require a specific number of steps to complete (the number of needed steps may be different for your two goals). As was said, when you have the upper hand at the end of a step, you are one step closer to your goal. If you achieve your goal before your opponent, you win the parley and your goals will be achieved; otherwise, you lose and you will need to find another way to achieve your goals (perhaps trying again in a later parley).

You can learn more about the game of parleying in Diplomacy Mechanics.

Civic Diplomacy

Civic Diplomacy allows you to combine your skills with other diplomats to manipulate the people and rulers of a town or city. If successful, the townsfolk will focus their endeavors on a specific goal (such as harvesting), making everyone in the town more effective.
