Diplo for TNT

[scoutsout]

Scout - how far are we away from the second landing? We need to give them at least two turns to bring more victims east.

I worked out what I could, and posted it in "Military Headquarters" a moment ago. Have a look and let me know what you think.

Sounds like TNT is in complete turmoil.

Has anybody else noticed that two new people have very recently requested to be added to Team TNT? I don't recognize either of their names. Anyone else know them?

Guess I'm wondering if they've called in a couple of good warmongers from another board or people from before I joined CFC to help Donsig out.

 

[grahamiam]

I recognize donovan zoi's name, but I have no idea if he's a good player or not. the other I don't recognize at all.

Zoi is a veteran demo-gamer, don't know about his playing skills. He's very much into constitutions, legislation and such, i.e the typical TNT-er

Let's put it this way. He was losing to Donsig in their cagematch PBEM and has been badgered by Donsig to play his turn for months. IMO he seems like a nice enough guy who will simply be Dinsog's "yes" man.

You mean the world actually existed before Meleet???

When you are the all-powerful Meleet, you can create time and history going forward and backwards. He knows exactly what will happen and allows us morals to live out our simple CIVilized lives.

Bah!! There's gotta be a story in there somewhere.

Hey Booti...any clues on a story for the cluechallenged?

Hey Booti...any clues on a story for the cluechallenged?

Sorry my Leige, I have been at a conference where internet access was spotty (that is being kind) so I am furiously catching up on posts, preparing for that most sacred of ecclesiastical holidays - Mother's Day - and a wedding.

I will try to wrack my brain before I get racked.

Drummer boy, right?......Yes! säger:
I take it things were very merry at your end then
Drummer boy, right?......Yes! säger:
yes you, you came in when Provo left right?
jack the lad (Seth){Care Bear}, 11 days left.... säger:
pretty much the exact day
jack the lad (Seth){Care Bear}, 11 days left.... säger:
i'd be a DL if i wasnt so much cooler
Drummer boy, right?......Yes! säger:
just what i was about to post
jack the lad (Seth){Care Bear}, 11 days left.... säger:
lol
jack the lad (Seth){Care Bear}, 11 days left.... säger:
so the big whigs told me to ask about peace, do you want it in KISS? and if so what for?
Drummer boy, right?......Yes! säger:
the big whigs...lol. Well, it might be that we are having too much fun to stop just yet
Drummer boy, right?......Yes! säger:
but prolonged wars are bad in general
scoutsout säger:
Well... there are some among us that rather enjoy the upper hand we gained after that last battle...
jack the lad (Seth){Care Bear}, 11 days left.... säger:
yer stupid big whig doing it that way
jack the lad (Seth){Care Bear}, 11 days left.... säger:
ive been 'authorised' by the afor mentioned big whig to say we are 'a little war weary'
Drummer boy, right?......Yes! säger:
we might just take you beyond the point of No Fun, and then offer you to defect, hehe
jack the lad (Seth){Care Bear}, 11 days left.... säger:
nah i'll play to a 1CC
scoutsout säger:
Defecting isn't allowed.... joining another team is only possible after the team members have become 'refugees'.
Drummer boy, right?......Yes! säger:
what have you not been authorized to say is what I'm interested in
jack the lad (Seth){Care Bear}, 11 days left.... säger:
meh im a big whig i can say what i want!
Drummer boy, right?......Yes! säger:
the difference btw us is that you lot started hammering on day one. we were just builders back then so we are just starting to appreciate the hell of it
jack the lad (Seth){Care Bear}, 11 days left.... säger:
yer well you got a nice little civ on your continent, go to war with them
scoutsout säger:
Well... for what it's worth, I respect the fact that TNT no longer expects us to abandon our position.
Drummer boy, right?......Yes! säger:
too be honest Simon, we could discuss peace but I'm afraid we are not going to find an understanding on the peace terms
jack the lad (Seth){Care Bear}, 11 days left.... säger:
how do you mean?
Drummer boy, right?......Yes! säger:
we are in the driver seat is my guess
Drummer boy, right?......Yes! säger:
and you don't want to be taken for a ride
jack the lad (Seth){Care Bear}, 11 days left.... säger:
yer but if you tell me what you want then i can post it in the forum and we can whinge and ***** about it for a week or so and then finally accept it
Drummer boy, right?......Yes! säger:
I won't make some offer on my own here, but I will of course post in our forum that you are eager to make peace
jack the lad (Seth){Care Bear}, 11 days left.... säger:
sure as long as the word 'eager' doesnt change to 'begging' in transition
scoutsout säger:
We wouldn't do something like that... unless you offered us something like... Semtex.
Drummer boy, right?......Yes! säger:
expect some cities to be demanded if it comes to that. Is "desperate" OK, haha
jack the lad (Seth){Care Bear}, 11 days left.... säger:
well we're not going to give up cities but whomp mentioned something about the land east of the cities we already have awhile back
jack the lad (Seth){Care Bear}, 11 days left.... säger:
and do you really want semtex, with its awesome MoM????
scoutsout säger:
Well... I think you guys re-settled one of those spots already...

A chat with Simon of TNT fame. Not much besides they're Beggin' for peace

I thought we told him that we wouldn't change their wording to "begging"?

 

[Sir Bugsy]

Well let's make him an offer.

1. No aggression from TNT towards any civ for 50 turns.

2. We need at least one city from them. Perferably that one they just settled.

3. Any and all techs they are up on us, no matter how many tiers up (I'm thinking maybe education here)

4. They can't settle east of any city they now own.

We would also want to involve donuts in these negotiations. They are getting pumped up to join the war.

 

[grahamiam]

What do we have to gain from peace with TNT? I thought we were trying to cripple MIA via crippling TNT. Also, I want to take a shot with the landing

 

[Whomp]

The winds of war have changed everything. What I said was then was then and ancient history with no offers. Now they will get nothing and like it. Cripple them Gman.

We want Semtex for MoM and its potential commie rushing capability amongst all the other benefits.

 

[Daghdha]

I told Simon that I'll bring in their peace request just to be polite. I have no intention offering them anything that they might accept.
Saying we will chase 'em down to the last Immo isn't good either because that info is likely to be passed to MIA.

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

maybe sounds of silence

 

[scoutsout]

I want to see you take that shot with the landing too, G-man. It was your idea, and I worked to put the pieces in place to make it happen. I want to see you 'finish the drill' on TNT.

 

[Sir Bugsy]

Having the G-man play the turns is great in my opinion. Both G-Man and Scout are incredibly capable and it will just raise enough questions with the other teams about how our government works. And whether we are having internal problems. I'll tell you what, this anarchy stuff is something that should be tried in demogames more often.

I would really like to see some disinformation spread. How about an article in our paper about great arguments in the Pentagon. Scout and Bugsy are fighting over tactics and strategy. G-man and Slinger decide that enough is enough and have blocked access to the e-mail account. Bugsy and Scout are pissed and are threatening to leave the team. that kind of stuff. Remember that it needs to be believable.
