Methos:
greetings
Methos:
I noticed one of your players (Matthew) offered us peace which bumped our wb out of your lands.
Methos:
I hope this is not a sign of your anger at us.
General_W:
A peace treaty?
General_W:
sorry - I'm out of date here... logging into CFC
Methos:
I can't recall if it was peace, or a cease fire. I was just hoping you weren't upset with us.
General_W:
looks like peace.
General_W:
yeah - our team hasn't really talked or voted on this - Memphus sometimes makes these... er... "executive decisions"
Methos:
it wasn't Memphus, but someone names Matthew
General_W:
yeah - Memphus is Matthew.
Methos:
oh, ok
General_W:
doesn't always change his name when he logs into the PitBoss.
Methos:
hehe, sort of like I signed in as my gminor attempt
General_W:
oh - I see that in a screenshot here. funny
General_W:
anyway - I don't think you should interpret a peace treaty as a sign of being upset.
Methos:
probably wondering why I was signed in for so long without finishging the turn and then coming back later I take it
Methos:
just checking, as I wasn't sure
General_W:
well - I know we'd feel a lot better about things if we were trading instead of just talking - but I'm not going to beat you up over it.
- you've obviously got your reasons.
General_W:
I know I've asked this before, but it may have gotten lost in the heat of everything else we were talking about - so one last time (I promise!) - Is there anything possible that you might view as a reasonable trade option with us?
Methos:
basically we're not interested in trading just for the sake of trading
Methos:
and about the only thing we are interested in is MC, which I don't believe you are willing to trade at this time
Methos:
yes, bringing the wetsuit
General_W:
the wetsuit?
Methos:
sorry, wrong convo
General_W:
lol - well, that other conversation sounds like more fun!
Methos:
we're doing a cave trip this weekend and we're not sure how wet it is, so was just telling him I'm bringing mine just in case
General_W:
wow - sounds very cool
General_W:
ok - so just hypothetically - havening not talked to my team about this - what if we were willing to trade Metal Casting with some restrictions... what might you be willing to give up for that?
Methos:

General_W:
right on! yeah... that looks a little wet
Methos:
it got down to 8 inches of air with about 3' of water
General_W:
clostrophobiacs need not apply.
Methos:
hmm
Methos:
I was under the impression that at this time you weren't willing to trade away MC. Is it possible now?
General_W:
well, that's why I said "hypothetically" - and it would have to come with restrictions. If you'd still even be interested at that point?
Methos:
alphabet could be a possibility, but of course this is hypothetically
General_W:
let's see... Alphabet is 448, Metal Casting is 672... is that right?
General_W:
close enough for a hypothetical discussion anyway
General_W:
If we laid down a trading moratorium and asked you to swear off the Colossus - would you still be interested? hypothetically?
Note from General_W: Before anyone gets upset that I gave away our intention to build the Colossus – I think we've pretty much telegraphed that already by a) researching Metal Casting so soon and b) telling the Cavs we weren't willing to trade MC till turn 90 or later. I don't think this proposal reveals anything they hadn't already figured out. – and I decied that making this hypothetical proposal would be very valuable in revealing their response.
Methos:
I believe the possibility is there, hypothetically
General_W:
ok - I'll go float this with the team.
Methos:
as will I
Methos:
btw, I'll be gone this weekend, from Friday until Sunday, if for some reason you need to get a hold of us just email the team email, or PM me. all pms go to my phone, so once I'm above ground I can still check CFC
General_W:
ok - will do. Thanks for the headsup.
