Some diplo from turn 62:

ProPain says:
I wanna buy HR and or IW
anarres says:
cool
anarres says:
what you offering?
ProPain says:
money
anarres says:
they're both useful tech you know
anarres says:
i'm all ears
ProPain says:
salespitch time?
ProPain says:
what do you want for them
anarres says:
make me an offer, i say again!
ProPain says:
5gpt for both
anarres says:
lol
anarres says:

anarres says:
100 measly gold for 2 ****ing techs!!!
anarres says:
why don't i send you my mother so you can **** her too!
anarres says:
(/jk btw)
ProPain says:
no thanx, that woudl really upset my gf
anarres says:
maybe she could watch...
anarres says:
no
anarres says:
no
anarres says:
my mind has nasty mental pictures now
anarres says:
but seriously, you may as well ask me to chop off a leg as get 2 fighting techs for 100 gold, and over 20 turns too
ProPain says:
Well, you called that upon yourself
ProPain says:
well make a counteroffer
anarres says:
maybe i should have said 'make me a *reasonable* offer'
anarres says:
100 gold or 6gpt for *one* of them. that's reasonable imo. I'll even let you choose eiter one.
ProPain says:
nah, that's what the comp is asking too
ProPain says:
I'd rather buy from them then
ProPain says:
maybe I get lucky and they demand tribute
anarres says:
hmm, ok, if you don't want to haggle
*shrug*
ProPain says:
8 gpt for both
ProPain says:
I gotta eat to you know
ProPain says:
life's expensive with the euro and all
anarres says:
make it 10 gpt and it's a deal. If 10 gpt is too much, then you can pay 8gpt for 25 turns (still = 200 gold)
ProPain says:
mmm
ProPain says:
I'll think about it and let you know tomorrow.

ProPain zegt:

anarres zegt:

anarres zegt:
no
anarres zegt:
i want cash
ProPain zegt:

anarres zegt:
hmm, 100 gold total then, 10 gpt for 10 turns?
ProPain zegt:

anarres zegt:

anarres zegt:
if you threow phil in you can have it for 80 gold total
ProPain zegt:
wait sec
anarres zegt:
i need to know to end my turn...

(another long silence as PP gets disc. again)

anarres zegt:
sent the turn anyway
ProPain zegt:
I got kicked twice in the meantime
ProPain zegt:
sent
ProPain zegt:
10 gpt for 10 is too expensive
anarres zegt:
it's 20 more than 80
ProPain zegt:
gold is worth more than gpt. Inflation
ProPain zegt:
not to mention unstable politics
anarres zegt:
ok, but you offered 4 gpt for 20, will 5 for 20 make you feel happier?
ProPain zegt:
mm
anarres zegt:
you see, asking 5 gpt instead of 4 is harly being outragous is it?
ProPain zegt:
4gpt is a very good offer alrdy imo
anarres zegt:
how much can yo ubuy it for then?
ProPain zegt:
4gpt or if you want cash 50 + 10+ 10
anarres zegt:
lol, you making your offer smaller!!!
ProPain zegt:
i pay in 3 turns instead of 20 !
anarres zegt:
5gpt or 85 gold cash (50 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 5)
anarres zegt:
?
ProPain zegt:
still here
ProPain zegt:
flabbergasted
ProPain zegt:

anarres zegt:
so far you have totally refused to budge from your initial offer, that's not negotiations, that's just plaiun stubborn.
ProPain zegt:
well i dont need it right away and all your offers except your last one resemble forms of 100 gold too
ProPain zegt:
were we related we could be seen as chips of the same old block i guess
ProPain zegt:
if thats the correct expression
anarres zegt:
how about we split the difference at 90? lol
anarres zegt:
yeah, the expression is right
ProPain zegt:
how about I pay you 50+10+10+10
ProPain zegt:
that seems very fair to me
ProPain zegt:
you got cash to upgrade your warrior
anarres zegt:
ok, you get your 80-gold MM then!
anarres zegt:
lol, i'm egypt! why the **** would i upgrade warriors?
ProPain zegt:
well, you wont be upgrading war chariots
anarres zegt:
you should post this diplo in the cfc open thread, you certainly have the honour this time
ProPain zegt:
so that leaves warriors
ProPain zegt:
okay

 

[anarres]

Bah! Bested in negotiations, I may have met my match in stubbornness!

 

[ERIKK]

Go ProPain!

 

[ProPain]

Interesting war developments. Anarres declared war on the poor Zulus. The world reacted in disbelief to this atrocious act. Alliances were immediately wrought between The Persians and the French to revenge this hainous act!

Read all about it in my spoiler

 

[anarres]

Then, when I had made peace with the Zulu the smelly evil bastard SoB French paid them to redeclare on me the same turn!

I promise this to ProPain, the leader of France:

I will kill your family, your friends, everyone who knows you. I will purge France from the memory of the world. I will ban the use of garlic worldwide and I will chop the head of anyone wearing a berret!

May your penis be small and your breath smelly, and may all the little underpants gnomes come and steal your underwear! :saiyan:

P.S. Your father smells of elderberries and your mother was a hamster!

The mighty Egyptians have spoken!

 

[ERIKK]

How nice!

"the French are not worth an old shoe!"

 

[ProPain]

Mmmm, this kinda a language reminds me of someone.....

Lemme think who that was..... Yes, I remember now!!!!

So he finally returned.

 

[anarres]

Be assured. Egypt is safe, protected.

God will roast their stomachs in hell at the hands of Egyptians.

The French press is all about lies! All they tell is lies, lies and more lies! And they smell! A horrible loud pink smell!

 

[anarres]

See, the honest Egyptians must now resort to publicising the evil French menace!

My sig has changed to reflect the changing global events...

I'm really curious about the future of the safe egyptian empire! Is the game still on?

annares, I do hope your egyptian empire is not sharing the same faith as the famous information minister

We have had a lapse this past week, I think PP is a little busy.

Rest assured, the Zulu forces are just feeding their horses and mending the wheels on the war chariots. We will ride again!

Well I'm busy, that's true but more important You have the turn (no. 102) or at least should have. I didn't receive any 103Anarres version....

 

[anarres]

Recently we played a few more turns, and the outcome is no longer in doubt.

I've thought very carefully about it and I'm resigning. I am near the end of my Golden Age and there is no chance of me winning, even if I did manage to kill both the Zulu and Persians.

Thanks PP and congrats! Your MA deals were just too much for me...

I suggest a rematch.

 

[Aggie]

congrats propain
