I've made a slight edit to your post:
5. Making diplomatic negotiations with other players in your turn without seeking their permission first, with the exception of bribery, which must be announced in your turn report.
"I, Myrddraal, the leader of the Britons and member of the Compact of Europa, solemnly swear that I will not cheat by doing any of the following:
Reloading the game, unless I have forgotten to activate the script in which case I must include that in my report
Using RomeShell for any purpose
Breaking the house rules
Interact with other players diplomatically without their permission, with the exception of bribery which, should it happen, I will announce in my turn report.
Fail to report any battles, captures of spies/assassins, sieges, naval battles or other non-secret incidents which involve another human player
Fight any battle manually"
