Department of Stranger Affairs

Here is my latest PM sent this morning. Why do we always get put beside the lawyers in the crowd :gripe:
General,

Until paper is researched and maps are able to be traded, any land division doesn't seem possible. There's too much exploration both (with emphasis) teams must acheive. If we have a border conflict then we'll cross that bridge when it's time. We fully understand your concern about borders. Border definitions at this early point in the game are just unfeasible and will likely be unknowingly lopsided towards one team. While we would hate to be on the short end of that endeavor, we likewise don't want to short-change you as an angry neighbor is never good.

So here is our latest proposal for Peace (and we take your PM-word on it and don't need official-looking documents).

1. The Leader will work his noggin over to figure out some way to covey thoughts with copious congregations of symbolic characters.
2. The Pilfinatress will build up massive fires to attempt to liquify some rock to gain useable shiny scolding liquid in order to fashion tools and weapons much stronger than the big stick that our oafs are currently carrying
3. The monetary advantage (30g or 30b) that The Leader owes to The Pilfinatress will be rectified as soon as possible either by a) a lopsided tech deal 30b in favor of Piffle, or by b) 30g in payment made as soon as Currency is learned by either nation.
The Leader will not research Bureaucracy (or equal-or-higher level technology) unless the debt has already been discharged.
4. Peace will reign between the Leader and the Piffilnatress until 1 AD. Upon discovering Paper, borders will be negotiated.



Let us know what you think and we'll be eating Oreos and watching The Breakfast Club


Dreaming of a Peaceful Piffledom,
The Piffilnatress

This is NOT an official letter.

Now I guess they have to vote.
 
WE have our first deal!!!

Dear Tubby, and all Dreamers and Oreo Eaters,

Let me be the first to embrace you as our brothers in peace! The Leader and the Epsilon Council of Seven have approved of the peace treaty and trading measures outlined in your last letter to us.

A holiday has been declared in your honor - the people rejoice.

We look forward to many years of peace and cooperation. May today be only the seed of the future greatness that is to grow for both our peoples.

We always welcome further communication from our friends – I am at your service for anything further you would like to discuss.

Sincerely Yours,

Foreign Minister General W
Servant of the Leader
Epsilon Team!

But can we still crush them utterly should it be opportune and worthwhile? :satan:

Absolutely. When I was growing up my teacher told me "A stranger is just a friend you haven't met."

Now that I am involved in MTDG I understand that friends are just enemeis whoes heads you are not actively crushing.

Code of Laws already?!? Surely they have popped some goody huts or something. Either that or that can't mine, road, build obelisks, anything.
 
I just realized. We've been played again by those MIA b....nvm
By getting CoL they took CS as their free tech and we'll be giving the metal casting which equals Maces...:(
 
Not to worry, Maces come with Machinery and CS, not Metal Casting. And if they put all their energies into the CS slingshot, and it seems likely looking at their capitol's population, it is going to take them a long time to recover. We will twist their tails for them in good time, but let's push up the isthmus.
 
I spoke with Davemcw online during our pitboss game and he said they haven't decided on their free tech yet. I made to presumption they would take CS. We'll see.
 
new message from the sneaky b**st***s.
Dear Tubby and All Piffles,

Please forgive our silence of late, the last few years have been busy for my people, as you can imagine.

We regret we weren’t able to be more open with you about our plans for the Oracle – but we're confident you understand and are sympathetic towards our desire for secrecy.

That said, we are still looking forward to fulfilling our end of the treaty we have signed with you, and wanted to let you know that we're about 6 turns away from having the secret of letters… project code name: "ABC"

We're curious to know how you're coming on melting rocks into better killing weapons?

Yours in Peace and Trade,
General_W, Servant of the Leader

more from the pompous
Dear Mr. Rower,

I'm a bit embarrassed to tell you that we're actually 4 turns away from Alphabet.
I forgot to update that part over the course of drafting the letter.

Thanks for your patience.

Just make sure we count our money & watch our backs.

sent to gmail

I'm planning on not responding... as in my opinion this will be our last non-bloody dealing with MIA .. I mean the Leader. they can figure out when we get it when the trade comes about. I'd rather give them little to no information.

(I sent this letter via PM to Tubby - but wanted to make sure you got it. So here it is again!)

Dear Tubby and All Piffles,

That said, we are still looking forward to fulfilling our end of the treaty we have signed with you, and wanted to let you know that we're about [3 turns] away from having the secret of letters… project code
name: "ABC"

We're curious to know how you're coming on melting rocks into better killing weapons?

I agree that we shouldn't let them know anything, but at the same time we should respond to stay on good relations. If we do not answer, they may have reason to think we've soured on them -- I'd rather have them think we were oblivious and naive.

I would say we want to reply with something friendly, in theme with previous correspondences (witty/silly), and above all divulging nothing. Think White House press secretary, but actually done with some skill.
