gmail doesn't allow you to request read receipts on outgoing emails, according to http://mail.google.com/support/bin/...rch=Search&type=f&lr=lang_en&ctx=en:searchbox.
It also doesn't send read receipts back to the sender if you check it through the web interface. I just tested it with my own gmail account.
That said, I'm officially opposed to a policy of dishonesty at this point in the game.

Its late now to say that. I've played and sent the turn. Elephantium, you could make the post in the Turn Tracker.

Proposed Letter. I'm going to assume we will keep exploring with our boat, and that we want to sound annoyed. We are average in military strength to GONG, so if war breaks out we only have to worry about BABE.

Seems a bit too annoyed and almost ready for a fight.
I would rather continue pretending to be the clumsy oaf trying to do what is asked but not quite getting it right.
And on the next turn we move 3NE to hit the shaft of coastal tiles and sniff around Babe.

I took a look at the screenshots of Turn 119 and 118.
On Turn 118 we showed 424 in gold, with 180 going to The Council, leaving around 244 gold, less the negative gpt.
On Turn 119 we have only 50 gold.
It looks like we built the embassy, given the sharp drop in our treasury.
And yet I don't that mentioned in the logs. And I can't imagine either Turnplayer omitting such an expense. Omitting on purpose, that is. I know how forgetful I am.
I've not played PBEMs, but I don't expect to have to pay to build someone else's embassy. That's what the other person does. They pay to build thier embassy in our lands. We don't charged gold for that.
Right?

At first I thought we might have built the embassy, but in reading The Council's last message, Gong snuck in an embassy on them.
Which makes it more likely that Gong snuck their embassy in on us also.
So how did we lose so much gold between 118 and 119?
Are we forced to build an embassy with Gong at the same time they build an embassy with us?
I just don't know.

Establishing an embassy shouldn't drain our treasury that much. Plus, GONG established an embassy with the Council.

Oops. X-post. That what I get for starting to type, leaving the computer, continuing and posting 
Did we rush anything?
EDIT: I'll send the letter tomorrow to further the impression that we just noticed their letter

Perhaps, but it still needed to be said. I didn't catch this discussion in the early stages, otherwise I would have said something sooner. And darn it, 6 hours shouldn't be the margin between saying something on a timely basis and saying it "late".

I understand what you mean. The game take a week to get around to us, then a critical discussion takes place a couple of hours.
Anyway, sending the letter to GONG. Here for reference.

Is that a hint of BABE's intentions that I smell in jb's communique? Or is it a mind game?
I suggest that our reply contain something along the lines of "Why should we be concerned? Aren't you worried about invasion?"
We might also ask if they've seen any hint BABE's fleet near their landmass...

I'm not sure how to respond. Ideas? Suggestions?
Well they've pretty much said that they're working with BABE and are aware of our cooperation with the council. I think they know this pretty much for sure due to our tech trading with the council, in particular the latest trade.
That doesn't mean we should offer any form of direct confirmation of any cooperation between us and the council.
We could also work in an attempt to undermine the GONG/BABE alliance. Maybe isssue GONG with a warning that BABE is looking for a dogpile. Send them a faked excerpt from a message we supposedley received from BABE and telling them this goes to show who they can really trust. I doubt they'd take it too seriously but it might raise some doubts in their minds.

I don't know. At this point, GONG could act as a buffer, so I don't think we want to alienate GONG too much.
I'm sure that they're sure about our alliance. They probably got a screen saying "Sir, we have learned Theology from the FREEs and The Council."
