....reminds me of a Philosophy course I once took with a real bugger of a professor. He got on this rant one day about a "limited God". It was quite amusing.Sir Bugsy said:Only the almighty rik would have the courage to take mod action on himself.
"If God is omnipotent, can he create something so big he cannot move it? Of course not! If, by definition God is omnipotent, he therefore can move anything...and cannot create something so big he cannot move it."
The good prof called it a "limit" on God. The audacity. Just like our Admin Rik here...
"If The Meleet warns all spam, can he spam and not be warned?"
Of course not.
And for that reason... as soon as team TNT is done autorazing their own cities, I'm gonna have our Gallic Swordsmen belly up to the bar and eat a great big bowl of spaghetti-false-god before quaffing down some fine wine.

Here's what I sent to 'nuts, along with the save:
Turn 119, over to you. We've offered you something that might make it possible to put some of those colored sprinkle-thingies on your Doughnutian donuts.
Best regards,

In our Gmail box... I say just give it to them next turn
In exchange for dyes we could request a few things.
1. Maximum intel regarding their borders with TNT and anything else they notice.
2. The capability to run units through Donut territory, if necessary.
3. Information regarding their beaker rate so we can adjust ours to time our co-research better. This is important to us because they are definitely lagging on the research front.

You can trade workers once you establish a city on common land (ie, we need to build/capture a city on thier continent 1st, then worker trade is available if a worker is in one of the capitols).

That is the way to go. We will need some developing in our new territories. But I would try to add what Whomp suggested out of neigborliness.

1. I think we should get that anywayWhomp said:
2. Good
3. Very important, but I wouldn't trust their word on it 100%. I maintain we should spend some cash investigating a small city of theirs on, say, 2 occasions.
Gram knows the mechanics
One thing I would like them to do is to not renew the peace with TNT. They don't have to fight, but it would keep TNT from pushing all units NE which would be a lot of help.

With the cash from the Golden Age finally kicking in... we should be able to afford an investigation of one of the smaller D'nut cities.... to see how much they're spending on what....
What do you guys say we offer to give them dyes, provided they use any drop in the lux rate to boost their science rate?

Scout - I think that is a good idea.
Whomper - I like all three suggestions.
Daghie - I like the not renewing the peace idea. TNT would almost have to turtle to survive.

We do investigations first to find out how heavy their burden of lux tax is. If it is, they may get some dyes. Thing is I have other plans for them goodies. See diplo for TNTscooter said:

yup... i garee with Daghdha. Although investigating right now might not be best as they are pretty close to Engineering and could be backing off to save money while saving the turns to complete.

I don't think they will be notified if we investigate, and I garee with Tubby. I suggest we do the peek 2 turns after they've started on next tech. I thought they were doing Mono btw

I just sent this PM:

cc: Whomp, Tubby Rower
Doughnutians,
I took a quick look at the save, and noted that you accepted our offer of dyes... I know our diplomats have approached you with some ideas for a dyes deal, and I believe some of the ideas involved "out of game compensation".
I just requested a 24 hour extension. Let's see if we can hammer out some sort of arrangement so that I can send the dyes along this turn.
I want colored sprinkle thingies on my next shipment of donuts.
Best regards all,
scout

If they already accepted the dyes, what are we going to send along this time?
