Musings about TNT
sixpackholiday: i'm musing on the tnt power curve or is it "over"
<didn't see as I was making coffee ... so ignored and bantered friendily>
Back on Topic
sixpackholiday: Q: how would MIA feel about Nuts caving in on TNT demands ... Our techs 4 example
fe3333au: We would perfer the war to go ahead ... and me would prefer that Nuts get stomped bad
sixpackholiday: by the look of the powa curve it's happening
I continue to rant 
fe3333au: Those bastards have not gotten back to us ... it has been a week ... they have themselves to blame ... so what is the inside goss ... has TNT demanded stuff to end the war?
sixpackholiday: What would be best for Greens United. They have initially and will of course again ... if TNT does sloppy research because they're convinced they will pointy stick Nuts to all they have
fe3333au: sorry not sure I follow ... say again
Danger of TNT extorting techs from Nuts to keep them in game
sixpackholiday: sixpackholiday: TNT will get our research efforts for "free"
fe3333au: is this a projection of what you guys think will happen or you have been getting hints from Nuts?
sixpackholiday: no hints, just me guessing ... and the latest power curve. I may be wrong but i think TNT has whacked a Nut city
fe3333au: OK ... my personal (and not MIA) ... I am sick of Nuts and I personally would have no problems with shafting them
sixpackholiday: i understand that fully
Settledown Fe ... Big Picture ... But me not listening
sixpackholiday: but being all buissness ... no feelings ... how about giving Nuts a plan B
fe3333au: I am sick of supporting them ... I feel that they are getting the best out of your deal with them ... and they have not even had the courtesy of returning our PMs ... we are still prepared to giving them tech swaps ... but they never return our calls ??? ... I am so confused and also angry at them ... at least with TNT you know where you stand ... btw next turn we will have met them ... we can see the boarder of TNT
sixpackholiday: good
Engage my rant and then slooowly guide me back from the Red
sixpackholiday: There has been some talk abut cancelling our deal w them because we've found out the try to play us. not sure if anything has been decided
fe3333au: The idea was for MIA to get a deal and then you find out and tell them to get ****ed
sixpackholiday: you talked w whompie about that?
fe3333au: yes
sixpackholiday: sounds good
fe3333au: we were chatting and emp contacted that he was chatting to Robi
sixpackholiday: i never really liked that big deal w them anyway

fe3333au: so Whomp and Tubby were there when Robi tried to deal behind your back
fe3333au: So the idea was MIA deal with them ... and then we give you all techs for republic ... smae deal ... but Nuts don't get republic
sixpackholiday: i saw they were trying to warn you about our GS's
fe3333au: yes ... amateurish
sixpackholiday: MW's not offensive ha ha
fe3333au: exactly ... tubby called him a tosser :LOL: sixpackholiday: good call
fe3333au: But ... why has Nuts not contacted us or returned our call?
sixpackholiday: very strange indeed
fe3333au: stupid ... with them it is always urgent ... and then they ignore us ... we always have to chase them
sixpackholiday: are they sensing we're setting them up???
fe3333au: I wish I had a AIM contact for someone in Nuts ... No they think we are no friendly
Do Nuts suspect Green Alliance 
sixpackholiday: are they afraid we will accuse them of dealing behind our back and cancel our deal?
fe3333au: If they do ... they would be playing us differently ... We have played it good ... we got Pots from them ... and you don't have Masonry ... You also didn't have Wheel ... so they can see that we are not swapping techs

sixpackholiday: that's all good
Settled Down Now
fe3333au: Actually in reagards to your deal ... maybe it wouyld be better coming from you cos if they give all tech to TNT ... you get pissed off and the deal is off
sixpackholiday: and since we're not buddies they may be afraid to deal with you and make us angry
fe3333au: But didn't they tell you that they have access to Masonry?
sixpackholiday: don't remember
fe3333au: think Whomp said that
sixpackholiday: they thought we were getting Mas from TNT iirc
fe3333au: yes ... or at least were trying to get it from TNT
Back to Offering Nuts Haven
sixpackholiday: anyway, my thought was to, if they're up against the wall, gift them a useless refugee camp in our hood so they can tell TNT to stuff it and them take part in a later invasion ... TNT would be stuck in a tech hole and Nuts would be no threat
fe3333au: as long as they are in your boarders that would be cool ... I cannot trust that a pissed off MIA warrior will not attack them

sixpackholiday: heh
Focused Now ... Finally
fe3333au: do you think your team would agree?
sixpackholiday: even better, we gift city with a MIA stack close to it. TNT gets zip and you whack Nuts village and we don't break any deals
fe3333au: I think **** them ... if they are too stupid to do anything to get techs to save themmselves then **** them ... we offered the military techs they needed many many turns ago ... but they wouldn't repond to us ... and then played hardball ... and then told us to get ****ed ... by trading with you
Fun Sceanio ... We have access to Camp to stomp the Nuts ... Fantasy though 
sixpackholiday: but you would get the honour of finishing them off
fe3333au: ...

... But let us do it together
sixpackholiday: sure ... if teams agree and the situation occurs that is
Back to Reality ... well Game Reality 
fe3333au: In the big picture I would prefer them to put up more of a fight
sixpackholiday: yes, us too
fe3333au: they know we have masonry ... so why not trade with us???
sixpackholiday: stoopids
So idea of Safe Home is Real ... ish
sixpackholiday: would you take the possible "gift/whack" scenario to the team?
fe3333au: gift whack? ... I will take everything back to team ... i psot all chats but edit out personal stuff
sixpackholiday: we gift a refugee town and you whack it
fe3333au: Yep
Problems with Scenario
fe3333au: I doubt that Nuts would take it though ... I wouldn't
sixpackholiday: this assuming Nuts will be cornered badly and TNT demands all their stuff
sixpackholiday: i think they're as pissed at TNT as you're at Nuts ... or worse
fe3333au: So basically you are offering Nuts an escape clause ... to not give TNT stuff ... and still live
sixpackholiday: just my personal thought. not anchored in team ... yes
fe3333au: interesting idea
But
fe3333au: If I were Nuts I would probably be inclined to die fighting
sixpackholiday: basically a way of denying TNT the possibility of creeping out of that tech hole
fe3333au: and give extra cash and everything to my friends ... and then RIP ... Do they have HBR yet?
sixpackholiday: how about not dying at all and get a chanse to come back for revenge
fe3333au: yep sounds good but ... what would be your price
sixpackholiday: dunno...
fe3333au: They would become your vasals ...
sixpackholiday: they would take that risk yes
fe3333au: or do you see them as free french in WWII
sixpackholiday: not sure ... i see them saying OK and then you whack them
