Term 3. Welcome to the Foreign Ministry.

Dear people of CFC,

during the nice chat this morning your ambassador suggested an Open
Borders treaty. With the turn this evening you already sent this treaty
in game.
While we are open to such a suggestion, we need to discuss this within
our team first, therefore this was quite a bit premature. So we could
not yet accept this offer.
Please await our team decision on this matter.
Thanks and regards

Gamecatcher Alliance
Didn't we send it to them and thus it was for them to accept?
 
I emailed Holocanthe of team BAT from his email link on his UN post

Team CFC has been trying to contact team BAT for two weeks but we keep getting this error message:

dgciv4@civfr.com doesn't seem to wok, can you give us another way of contacting your team?



here is the message we have been trying to send:


We would like to discuss research plans with you. CFC's scientists have worked very hard lately and are about to uncover the secrets of pottery. We would of course be happy to share this technology with you, if you wish - of course this requires knowledge of the Alphabet. We are discussing what to research next, and your progress plays an important part in this. From the chats between our two nations we recall that you were planning to discover Alphabet around this time.

We are excited to trade technologies with you, however the delay we experienced these past few weeks is increasing the risk that much of our research will overlap and be wasted. Could you tell us how this research is progressing? Are you researching Alphabet already, and can you give us an updated ETA?

May we grow in mutual prosperity,
Team CFC

OK, I've only been here one day, but . . . These guys again? Seriously?

This is just like them, and we've seen it play out twice. They agree to something, then they say they need time to think it over, then they said it failed internally on their poll, but they just need us to make a couple of concessions to what they want. Then they send us an agreement that is wrong, then they lamely apologize, but somehow still seem snarky and condescending about it.

And then, out of nowhere, they invade us. Something about GCA's website turns their players evil. It's like the LOTR "One Ring" of internet browsing.
 
i wouldnt look at it like that, i used to post at gca and its tbh quite dead now with most of the old crowd moved on.

Dont remind me :shake:.
 
I think Lucky is trying to remove that stigma that they once had.

Hi,

We propose thursday at 20h or 21h GMT to meet together on MSN. You can
propose another date, it's only the best for us.

It's very important to always send your messages on the general adress of
BAT nation, as you know, personnal messages can be lost, it would be a shame
to lose contact just for a mail problem.

Unfortunately that is not a good time for me, unless someone else can come. Since I am getting a new computer around that time.

I just sent the email to both addresses and I already got a bounce back.

Dear thunderfalls!

Many thanks for your answer, it came just in time! I think, Polly will
go in the suggested direction at once.

Some people in our team assumed by your answer, that there is another
path to proceed behind your capital, is that right?

Some times ago, you asked us for our known contacts. We can proudly tell
you that we met all other nations in this world.

Hi,

We agree for friday at 21h or 22h GMT to meet together on MSN. As our
president will be here for 22h GMT, we might begin at 21h30 GMT and he
would join us during the meeting.

We worked on our email problems, we should now receive all your messages
without problem.

Hi,

in response to your suggestion of Open Borders, we have drafted this Border Treaty between our teams:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1st CFC - GCA Border Treaty (~1400 BC)

The great people of Fanatica and the Gamecatcher Alliance agree to the following Border Treaty for mutual prosperity and cooperation.

1. Both teams agree to Open Borders for enhanced trade and economic cooperation.

2. All civilian units may enter and pass through opposite territory with a prior notification.

3. No military units may enter the opposite territory without explicit permission.

4. The desert landbridge counts as the extended border region between our people and is subject to points #2 and #3 as well, with the exception of a single scouting unit placed at maximum next to the opposite cultural border.

The acception of the in-game Open Borders will count as the full acception of this treaty.
For a prosperous cooperation!


//SIGNED//
Gamecatcher Alliance



Fanatican Empire

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We will send you the Open Borders and if you agree to this treaty, just accept it in the game and send it back signed. If you want minor revisions, i.e. clarifications or other wording, you can still accept and we will change that. Ship passage for later times can be discussed in a treaty amendment.
If any major revisions are needed, just decline and send a counter-proposal.
Best regards


Lucky
Gamecatcher Alliance

can someone send a reply back saying we agree but also asking for our warrior to go through :)

Signed the treaty and asked permission for our warrior to cross the border.
 
anything that can fight = military?

dear CFC team

We thought that we could give some explanations about the situation in an
MSN meeting, but it seems impossible, so we explain it here to help your
comprehension.

We apologize (again...) for delays in our answers. And as we understand your
perplexity, we are going to explain why situations seem difficult for us. As
we explain in a previous messages, there has been a great problem of
communication between our teams.

We truly understand that mails were sent to 2 peoples of our team that
weren't received or lost. The result was that we thought that we received
only one message for 2 months and this message said "we met GWT".

As fear is a great ennemy for partnership, we thought that you found 2 other
allied and you did not want to contact us any more. In reaction, we
immediatly stopped to research for alphabet in order to have more important
technologies needed in this moment.

As we received your last message, we found ourselves in bad situation as our
research was far from alphabet. But you must be sure that we don't want to
stop any relations with you, we just have to meet again and to reorganize
our partnership for the best.

You explained us having good relations with COG. Could you give some details
about the agreements in discussion and their answer ? We (at least) met them
few turns ago, and we would like to begin on the way than you.

To finish, As you could see, I don't have enough time to manage quickly
enough the foreign minister of the BAT. So a new foreign minister, Mansurji,
will have this post.

Best regards,

Abukhir, Ambassador of BAT nation

Right so we need to find out exactly where they are in the race for alphabet, for instance they dont even have writing, it may be worth us continuing on this path and just seeing what we can trade with them in the end.
