Lets be nice to the Iroqs. They have been beaten pretty bad. There is no point in doing any more harm.

I have posted the next TCIT, as well as the schedule for the remainder of the Month, barring various obsticles.

I have allowed for an "second half" to this TC should you decide that, if we press for Niagria, that we would need to poll for a peace agreement once we (and if) we get that city.

Totally off-topic: that's a totally sweet interface. Where can I get it ? I want it too.

On topic: Everyone's mad at us, but at also at peace. We should probably keep it that way.

To DZ and Civman2004 - Its actualy a graphic mod pack that I use. The way to see which nation is POed at us is to look at the color of the inner circle. If its Green, then they are happy. If they are Red or Orange (Depending on how you precive colors), then they are POed at us.

To Civman2004 specificly - In the graphic pack that I use, Its actualy the representation of when the Aztecs were colonized by the Spanish. The Aztecs will get there Mexican flag in the Industrial age ;).

Look in the Custom and Creation section of the forums under Graphics. The interface is actualy from the Napolean Upgrade pack and the Civ flags are under the same name IIRC.

Well, at least we are happy with ourselves.

CG, did you find a deputy yet? I would still like a chance to implement some of the ideas I had for this term, if you'll have me.

We are, I just edited the the instructions to reflect that. (hopefully that has already happened)

Since no one has stepped forward expressing interest on applying to deputy with the exception of Donovon Zoi. By the powers invested in me, I now apoint DZ as the new Deputy of the ministry. And no I dont perform weddings in the demogame :p.

I urge you to establish embassies with Russia and China and to get ahold of Nationalism as soon as possible. We should then develop Mutual Protection Agreements with America,
Iroquois, Babylonians and Rome in order to pursue diplomatic victory.

I believe its time for FA polls on what the citizens' stances are on foreign nations. We can't let a few individuals simply decide they want to commit China as our enemy and make America an unwilling ally.

To all you Foreigners, representitives of Foreign or ministers in charge of Foreign departments (means civgeneral and his crew)

In the instructions thread you always say if our neighbours declare war on us, we should stop the chat. But the "angry war devil" (provolution and his homies) have already made plans for these situations and the people have said there good, so why do we need to stop the chats. if you said follow military instructions in event of war with nieghbours, and then provo (reminds me of the IRA) had links to his operations. It would be cool if say babylon attacked and the president (i think his names nobody the 3rd or somthing) could go " Damn the babys attacked iniate Operation: BabelBoomBox" rather than:
" ...OK i moved worker 34Q to the hills by ducksberg, and spearman 14J to the the city of Ironfeet, oh babylon attacked us. Better turn off the chat, has someone made a chat log, hows the weather in texas (Cheiftess: Move non-turnchat stuff to another room), bye all turn chat over"

EDIT: :) this smiley face is so everyone can see jokes. but i do think the stop chat thing shouldnt be

We could give them back the city they want so much.

Or if this is too extream we could offer them 10gpt and a luxuary. If they do attack we stop payments, all we lose is 10 gold. Its worth it to give peace a chance.

We could offer them a right of passage this might convince them not to attack. and if like someone said they might be going for babylon it will help them.

according to your last defcon polls over 50% of the people consider these people our freinds (defcon4 or better) lets keep the peace.

As Foreign Deputy, I would rather not offer an RoP because it gives the Zulu access to our lands. And 10 gpt is far too high a number. What if they opt for peace? We are out 200g in the long run.

I would propose that we gift a Luxury, and give them 1 gpt(no more than 2). I will start a discussion thread on this right away.
