I was wondering if some of you might have some answers to some questions I have about asking your rivals questions.

For example, when you ask a rival "What do you think of..." and they respond "Yes?" you see a list of other rivals that you know in common.

Question 1) Is there any significance to the order in which the names are presented? It's not alphabetical. Does it reflect a more meaningful order, like who they're most to least concerned about, who they know most to least (or least to most) about, based on EP spending? How does this work?

Question 2) What do their responses mean? That is, depending on what they say, do any game mechanics change accordingly? Do they redistribute EPs according to what they say? (i.e. "We're not quite sure what to think of X."). Or is it just meaningless, extra detail that means nothing?

Same questions apply when asking a rival "Why don't you attack?" and the resulting city list that appears. What does the order of cities signify, if anything?
