Iroqi Communication Thread

[donsig]

The Iroqi are offering us wines for incense. I say we take it as it implies twenty turns of peace.

 

[BCLG100]

yep seems like a good idea could do with the luxs as well.

 

[greekguy]

take the deal, it will get us 20 turns of peace and more happy citizens.

 

[Strider]

I wonder why they won't respond to any of our messages though?

Maybe there aren't many active players on the team. Have you tried chatting with any of them?

Were playing a PBEM with two of them at the moment . I've never talked to either of them about the MTDG and honestly haven't talked to either of them in recent weeks at all.

I'll try sending a PM to Daveshack tommorow. See what I can turn up.

 

[BCLG100]

oh right yer, got robi_d on msn, so ill talk to him about it sometime, KISS and TNT are pretty close though.

 

[donsig]

Should we alert the Iroqi to the presence of the two Gall cities over here? Is it worth asking the Iroqi if they have a spare ship they can position on our east coast to gather naval intelligence on the Galls?

 

[BCLG100]

It may begin to sway the iroqi to our side if they realis the Galls are trying to get on our continent.

We have an extra silk hooked up now. Let's ask the Iroqi of they want to trade it for some workers. If they'd give us two or three workers we could add them to our cities.

 

[BCLG100]

2 or 3 workers though is a very poor deal, id be thinking more like 5/6

 

[donsig]

I'd take that, too. Strider, care to send our southern firends an inquiry about silks for workers?

Sending them the following later tonight:

Hello once again to our Southern neighbors!

As the ambassador to your people, my people would like me to inquire about possible trade deals. We recently hooked up an excess of silks and was wondering if you would be interested in some.

We are in desperate need of workers and would be willing to trade silks in return for 4-6 workers.

[BCLG100]

dont sound so pleading, act as if we're doing them a favour-though not too loftily.

Also say 5 workers, so then they will barter and probably be lowered to 4.

 

[Donovan Zoi]

Did Strider's message ever get sent? Did the lux deal ever go through?

Please update me on the current state of relations with the Iroqis.

PS: I agree with BCLG; we should probably try to leave the word "desperate" out of all foreign correspondence whenever possible.

 

[BCLG100]

not sure if it got sent but we've had nothing back, i could speak to robi about it but were all wrapped up in the big pitboss game, we've still got peace for another 10 turns or so due to the lux deal however.

 

[Strider]

It was sent with the suggested modifications. No reply though.

 

[donsig]

THe Iroqi replied (in our g-mail) that they have all the luxuries they need.

I don't see anything wrong with sounding desperate. Let them think we are worse off than we are and they won't worry about us. They won't attack us unless the Greeks also turn on us. We do have a lux deal in place with the Iroqi. Maybe 15 turns or so left on it.

well there is the honour part in not sounding desperate but more importantly if they think we are weak then they would be less likely to give better deals in the future.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
We are declering war
to destroy you.

If they fight as bad as they spell or write poetry we should be ok.
