So Capac declared on me. Now Because of his damn airships I had to reserach and accumulate a few fighters before entering his territory. His invasion failed miserably and now the Peacekeeping motion is proposed in the U.N. just as Im about to launch my furious revenge.

If I defy it, will that penalty ever go away?
I know that normal motions like Anti-Nuclear Profileration you can vote a second time to void the unhappiness. What about circumstancial motions like Peacekeeping?

it's just the same, vote for a motion that passes, and the unhappiness goes away.

Any motion?
I was under the impression that you have to pass the same motion after Defying (like Nuclear Profileration)

No anyone, once you stop defying and start voting you will lose one lot of -5 the world hates you, you stinky ******

Even if I abstain?

I am not sure, I think its when you stop DEFYING and regardless of your yes no abstain you should lose one lot of unhappyness should it pass.

**I think**

You get no unhappiness even if the motion you defy get unsufficient votes to pass?
Because I had that happen right now, or it was Apostlic Palace because I don't have that religion.

OK This is my ace in the hole. I share a continent with Mali, Mongol and Aztec... I am confusionist and they are all hindu.
They are Cautious at me, except for Aztec are constantly Furious and share a direct border. All of them are friendly with each other.

Now Ive whipped and beelined for the AP as I knew that if the hindus got it, I was bound to be a bloody spot on the grass where my capitol used to be.

So Im the only FULL member in the Confusist AP and of course I am leader. Ive managed to squeeze a missionary into their cities to convert ONE city each for them, making all of them VOTING members. Thats my hidden ace.

I have all the votes in the AP, the hindus have like 3 votes each. So if they mass invade me, ie. Aztec invade and gets his two Big Friends to join in, I can pass a -stop the war against me- resolution...

If they vote no, They can NOT out-vote me.. (heh) SO one or some of them must defy the vote.

If they defy, they get a negative hit on happy? Five or ten frownies??? (I play on Epic speed)

PLus I have the Statue of Zeus so I dont think they will be able to produce anything in their cities should they defy a notion to stop fighting.

That negative on the Defying will stay even after the impending war is over?? Untill they vote for a resolution that passes? Ive read around and thats what Im gathering, but books, forums and civopedes tend to clash with each other ;)
