Add "tell-01" to the concept list?

[saramosher888]

Do we want to include "tell-01" as a concept for this project? In the data, there is a lot of discussion of who told who what. Players often strategize about what to tell which players in order to manipulate them or convince them to cooperate. We don't use "lie-08" very often because the players usually don't know who is lying, even though they often suspect it. Without "tell-01", much of the content of these messages becomes un-annotatable.

In this example, Germany is uncertain whether England is trying to trick them. Here are two possible annotations, one with "tell-01" and one without.

With "tell-01" the AMR looks like this:

Without "tell-01", the AMR is significantly less informative. Only the part about the proposed alliance is annotatable.

Adding "tell-01" to the concept list would allow us to make annotations much more complete and informative--but it depends on whether this information is useful to the purpose at this stage of the project. Thoughts?

Worth doing (or at the very least, trying and seeing how much extra effort it is). I agree that in my experience as a player there is a lot of discussion along these lines, so capturing it would be good.

Nobody has objected to adding tell-01 to the concept list, and I'm finding it very helpful in the annotation. So I will add it to the concept list and close this issue.

FYI, I added an example of tell-01 to https://www.isi.edu/~ulf/amr/lib/amr-dict-diplomacy.html

Thank you!

Without checking the specifics, I think this is a good idea because this is specifically part of a higher level of DAIDE.
