[SpiffyKeen7744]

I am resending the 2310BC save. If it is already past Azzaman, post about who has the save. Thanks.

 

[bathsheba666]

If it is not past Azza, then he has posted in the temp leave thread until 'some time in the new year'.

 

[bathsheba666]

Where are we?

 

[azzaman333]

Fe should have the save now.

Sorry for the long delay, I have had an unexpected frantically hectic RL scenario. Wild extreme weather added to tension at home and work, a fireworks display which I was shooting was never sure to go ahead until 1 hour before firing (total fire ban for weeks then solid rain beginning the day before which led to flooding of the site)

BOC 2710 BC: Hi Azza
I would love to trade for Bronze Working ... when will this happen?
I have also met a rival with orange border ... secret still, don't know who.

Them 2670 BC: Would the rival with an orange border be me? lol.
I think I sent Bronze this turn, so it would be nice of you if you sent back Ceremonial Burial.

Them 2510 BC: What do you have to trade for writing?

BOC 2510 BC: As per our agreement, I offer 50% gold value as I do not have any other techs at the moment, I am going for Mathematics.

Them 2510 BC: ETA for Math? If we wait we can do a straight swap.

Them 2470 BC: Dear Azza of the Dutch

You offered me writing ... and I was willing to pay 50% in gold as per our Alliance.

Am I to assume in this that you are only a fair weather ally ???

Please respond, hopefully with an invoice which indicates how much gold you require.

Them 2430 BC: whoops, forgot to send writing to you then. Just send the gold when you have it, and i'll send writing.
>
BOC 2430 BC: I think that it is best to calculate at the base value of the techs, the cost of Writing is 240 therefore I owe you 120 gold.

I am trying to get some settlement happening, my science will increase then ... I am researching Maths, what are you working on?

Cheers
