Game of Thrones is all intrigue and backstabbing. If we play realistically (play our roles, because we are roleplayers as you observe), there is much less intrigue and hard feelings because everyone knows everyone is acting like their nation and isn't declaring war because they hate you OOC.
The amount of times that people have vehemently defended their IC actions despite obviously having ulterior motives is stupidly high. There's no need to pretend here in the OOC, is the point I'm trying to make.

I'm going to agree on this being super silly. It's painfully obvious sometimes, with some of you. Like, I've noticed some people trying to deny certain things in OOC, and getting really defensive about it like they've convinced themselves they're not full of shit. It's silly and unnecessary. There is no need to lie in OOC. It's especially silly when you get into an argument because you're trying to lie so hard about something.
Pretty much. This is a roleplay, after all, not a competition.

Everyone is human. Suppose Ampharos asked me "Hey, are you going to march to Paris this turn?" and I say "Nope, going to march a doomstack to Prague", I think there would be a few more Austrians at Prague (no offense Amph, I probably would too).
The obvious answer to that is "I can't tell you. Find out next update." There's a nice middle ground between being detrimentally honest and outright lying.
