LOL! I found that hilarious!! Well I don't know what to tell you. I've never had anyone other than a diplomat bribed since going to 1.2. Do you keep spies in your cities? I always have at least one spy in each city. I also keep some assassins around just in case. My policy is to assassinate any diplomat who hangs around my land more than a turn without making some kind of legitimate offer to me. I've frequently seen them try to bribe my cities on the frontier, but they've always failed (so far). Maybe some of the other players can shed some light on what's happening.
