So I'm playing a game (after recent patch) and got some diplomacy going. And I was suprised and delighted to finally be offered a pact by the AI. I was like, wow! I accept! The AI refused... I didnt think they could do that. I mean, they offered me a pact, why would they not want the pact on the grounds that I was willing to make it with them?! What was weirder was I repeatedly recieved a whisper and voice track saying they wanted to quit the pact when they already had. So, eventually (to shut him up), I withdrew my hand from the pact too. Now (a bit later) a different AI offers me a different pact, which is even more shocking because I am not really in good standing with this guy (I think it might have been a he's good with me but not vice versa situation. I swear I was at 5.8 or something). So I accept. He refuses. I swear. He complains about it. To cut the rest of this short, I eventually won by diplomacy whilest everyone kept proposing pacts to me but were never willing to go through with it once they saw I was on board.

So, does anyone know what the heck was going on? Does this happen to other people? Is this a bug? Do you feel an urgent desire to propose something to me up until I go to shake hands on the deal? Do you then desire to repeatedly refute the whole incident until I take my hand back? Do you have a door I could borrow to beat against my head?
