that might be a good idea, but remember, we can't use too many big words. it'll confuse them. they are idiots living in anarchy (they said this themselves)
seriously, we should try to find out if they really don't like us in-game as much as in the forum. we may be able to make them allies in the shorterm, but then backstab them in the future.

I think we should keep our official negotiations here in the forums as much as possible.
I wonder if they have writing... You know some gold would be nice, too. Our treasury stands at 1 gold. What do we need to upgrade a warrior to an immortal... is it 40g?
So, are we interested in trading techs with the Galls or should we lay low and see what the Iroqi will offer us when they are begging for mercy?

Hmm...by checking research costs it looks like both the Iroqi and Galls have writing, the wheel, warrior code, and ceremonial burial. It looks like we don't have the only contact to the other continent.

Iroqi also have literature and either galls or the unmet greeks have it as well.TimBentley said:
It would surprise me if the Iroqs haven't sent out a curragh. Off course we need an embassy to be sure about their contacts.TimBentley said:

Even though we cannot afford an embassy perhaps we should trade masonry for writing and whatever else the Galls feel like paying. (We don't have writing yet, do we?

Currently we have: Bronze Working, Alphabet, Masonry, Pottery and Iron Working. We are getting Mathematics in 3 turns.
If the Galls are willing to give us writing for masonry, we will have a very good deal. Writing is worth a lot more, but if they really need masonry they might agree.

Talk about right church, wrong pew! Guess I shouldn't try to quote a quote...
Anyway, the Iroqi are not biting at the peace talks so let's offer to swap masonry for writing straight up.

The Greeks / M.I.A. have discovered masonry on their own. With the continuing war against Iroq we have only one potential customer for masonry, and we now have a competing seller. We need to get a good offer into KISS right away to try to salvage something for this tech. I still think the wheel is a priority for us to get.

Dear TNT
It was exciting to hear from your great peoples ... exciting yet
strangely confusing.
You indicated a willingness to trade Masonry for Warrior Code, Wheel
and Ceremonial Burial. You also proudly informed us that TNT were the
only team thus far to have this knowledge, your Trade advisor would
have informed you prior to approach that we already had Bricks and
Mortar. However since your approach, and unless you are trying to dupe
us, D-Nuts only very recently must have popped a Hut.
We can only assume that you ment to say Mathematics ... we would like
clarification ... if you indeed made a mistake then that would explain
much.
If the deal proposed is Mathematics for the 3 stated technologies ...
then we are agreed and will send the documents for your signature.
Please respond

OK, we need to formulate a reply. Personally, I'm not too keen on trading math away. Can someone post the current values of these techs? I doubt the Troq popped a hut and got masonry. MIA got it the turn after we sent our message and they most likely sold it to the Iroqi. Can we tell MIA we're at war with Iroq?

Wrong thread. Nevertheless, I'll reply here. Mathematics would cost them 205g to research; the wheel would cost us 68g, warrior code would cost us 51g, ceremonial burial would cost us 34g, writing would cost us 137g. It's been a week; why did they wait so long to reply? Perhaps they want to switch Black Hole to the Statue of Zeus. Do the Galls have masonry yet?

Doh! They're the Greeks, aren't they!
173g for 205g. No wonder they want to make the trade. Galls did not have masony on turn 58.

We should see what the Galls will give us for masonry (the wheel, perhaps?).

Greetings!
We have sent an offer of masonry to your people. This is a 'fine technology' that will allow your people to build houses out of stone instead of straw or sticks. In return we ask that you teach us how to draw sounds and give us a few shiny gold coins for our treasury box. We know that time is short so please make us an offer (in game) that you think is fair (and accept it). If we also think it is fair we will accept it (next turn).
It is our hope that this will be the beginning of a long and mutually prosperous relationship between our two peoples.

Hello Grand Vizer,
Who can say what a picture is worth?
A thousand words, a thousand krona
For we've had a look inside the Banana
How might you ask can we see?
Why by looking out the window
Of our new embassy
In exchange for the skills
Of laying brick on brick
We'll keep our knowledge to ourselves
And not share how many shields
You make on each tile
With the cake eaters of Springfield
If before our turn sixty four
The gift of masonry we see.
Kisses,

You know, now that's I've read this, it sounds a bit like blackmail, doesn't it?
Needless to say, I did not gift masonry to these buggers. Should we reply to this? I say we tell them to go straight to Sprinfield, take their picture and stick it right up their donut hole while they're having coffee with the Iroqi.

lurker's comment: Well, I think it's kinda funny and an original idea. Asking tribute for not spreading -sensitive- information.
