OK. I sent them a pm (keep them in the loop) to let them know we talked to Robi at Donut. Either they can attempt to trade it for cash to Donut or we can since Donut thinks we may be getting it from TNT.

I believe MIA rather not go to Nuts for trading. They feel pi55ed of and are waiting for Nuts to come to them. This is the impression I got from fe3333au.Whomp said:

I agree, and if others keep letting hurt feelings hamper their trading then al we have to do is play a decent game and they will see to it that we win 
This is one of the reasons I think we should try one more time with TNT to see if they're interested in trading Masonry. Just so we can see if A. they'll respond and B. we can tell them their price is too high.Daghdha said:I agree, and if others keep letting hurt feelings hamper their trading then al we have to do is play a decent game and they will see to it that we win

I have searched the threads for what we have agreed on vs. Nut. The only thing I see is the initial "philo+CoL for WC,CB, Myst+?". Have we ATM no other agreements with them? We discussed Rep. for HBR, Math and Currency but it is nowhere to be found so I take it it was just talk and not the real deal.
That's right Daghie. They were trying to get both our research on republic and MIA's research for HBR, maths and currency. So we've decided to let them get MIA's research and leave them in the cold on republic.

I'm glad you're on top of this Whomp. Your prodigous time on MSM, one of the reasons why you are and always will be POTKISS.
So do we want a peice of this action? Should we be working on the ability to launch some early raids on TNT?
Not that this is a foregone conclusion, but if the Nuts start getting spanked, or even if TNT is loosing it and we want to take possession of our cities they are kindly caretaking.
A SOD is not in the offering any time soon, but four spearmen and six to eight GS might make a nice raiding party for Igor to transport and our Joint Cheifs to play with.
Just a thought...

Funny thing is I was playing cIV at the same time. Somehow I have the "talking and typing" multi-tasking gene (uncommon for most men btw).
I cut out a few parts like building the Statue of Liberty and getting a great engineer named....German....uh...(age gene)...well anyhow Robi told me the guy developed the calculator.
The thing about an early SOD is TNT may not have boats even after we become a republic. According to Donuts, TNT has virtually turned off research. They've gone nowhere on research since turn 39 when they started this mess. You'd think TNT would be smart about talking to us since it won't take us 20 turns to reach their capital with the Admiral's boats.

Based on Whomps talk with Rob:
A raid on TNT's back door is definately something we should discuss. It does leave us open to a MIA frontdoor though. Also, in the long run it would only really help Nuts'. Say we knock out a few core TNT cities and cripple him; that leaves Nuts' the whole continent. If we get any cities over there they would be basically useless. I think even a FP in Perseopolis would not work very well.
Now if we could grow big enough to be able to support a 2-pronged TNT - MIA assault with 75% MIA and 25% TNT to get his core I would definately like that. We would have to be able to prolong the early MA to best take advantage of our GS but turning off research to cripple both would be a huge advantage. Then with our growth we could continue with mopping MIA and let Nuts' get back on his feet. By then we should be able to field enough firepower to knock Nuts' out.

Immos are so much horsemeat against well handled Mounties. So the only thing they can hope for is a GA, a quick peace settlement, then full steam ahead to the GLib. Maybe we offer TNT a bolthole when the time comes, because I think it will and sooner than they (TNT) think?
Why do I get the feeling this game won't make it out of the Middle Ages?

Another conversation while SGing at the same time. Now that's talent. 
All war talk and it seems both TNT and Donut are going for the Glib. This could make things very interesting. Not much else to report on this conversation but war talk is always fun.

to scoutI have an idea. what if we let TNT complete the Glib and then take it away with the GS SoD we just happen to have parked on the other continent. Or has Igor been into the hops too much (again?)
No that's exactly what we want! Let them get it slowly and after we're in a government. I think we could potentially make a deal for masonry and their future research on lit (then mia can go somewhere else after Map making) for writing and philo. Just a thought....not 100% on this though.
