Shall we go to defcon 3... 2... 1...?

It seems that it may have been written very quickly, and not thought over, but it does raise some big concerns. We abbsolutely cannot trust KISS.

I think it may be a good idea to scrape the 1 + 1 = 3 deal all together and work on a deal by deal basis. After all the deal did come very quickly, before we had built up any trust.

Now I know the official MIA responce will probably be meek but it might be worth looking at putting them in their place as well - less they get the idea they they can keep pushing us over. It is a careful balance...

I suggest that you check with your military advisor before sending such messages in the future.

Our relationship with KISS is very high priority at the moment, however, Team MIA will not tollerate your insults of our opperational proccesses.

However, in the intrest of cooperation, we shall ignor your recent remarks.

I dont think we would actually use this, but it may be usefull at least having a "more strong" (there is a better word but i cant think of it EDIT: Just got it "assertive") reply up our sleves just in case.

I agree. We must show them that, for now, we want peace, but also that we are strong.

My contact with Admiral Kutzov


Firstly via PM

think maybe we should have an informal discussion.

No restrictions, no decision making. My IM is akidiot@hotmail.com.

as u know we're anarchists with equal power.

I will not ask anything dishonorable.

feel free to memorialize any conversation.

I returned with an invitation to AIM

Then we did ... Relevant AIM Dialogue

Skippyshutt: bottom line, we're the most honorable people you'll ever find. Go check the SG threads. We'll give plenty of notice if we intend to make war. Our concern is that you're witholding contacts
fe3333au: Interesting you mentioned contacts ... we had to have clarification of the rules from the administrators
Skippyshutt: ?
fe3333au: It is a case of what can be discussed legally can we say what they have told us
Skippyshutt: we did that internally. sure
fe3333au: can we give directions if they have told us where thay are from? that sort of thing .. so the clarification process took longer than expected ... and those damn turns just seem to be lightning fast atm
Skippyshutt: yes we also discussed rudders internally and if they were within the spirit of the game and your consensus was? or the ruling of the great gods was?
fe3333au: ? what is a rudder?
Skippyshutt: rudder - magellan's map to get around cape horn. extremely valuable in their day. captains would burn them rather than have them siezed
fe3333au: So your discussion was in regards to map swapping? and /or pasing on directions?
Skippyshutt: same as yours
fe3333au: yes in fact what was allowed ... what I will do is post the admins ruling to you in my official reply. It is a case of what can be discussed legally can we say what they have told us

And then he had to go after I said I'd post the rulings ... this added to Whomp ... I have a trusting feeling ...

I am confident that when war is declared it shall be with 10 turns warning ...

EDIT - Meleager's comment addressed and fixed

 

[Meleager]

Are those bottom 2 lines repeated?
I'm glad that is sorted out.
