Team SABER

From SABER with the save (131)

We finally have contact in game. Our Chief Ambassor is Cyc - I'm sure he will be contacting you to begin diplomatic relations ASAP.

 

[Empiremaker]

Who wants to be our ambassador? I don't have much time anymore due to school.

 

[Elephantium]

I can do it if no one else cares for the position.

 

[Kuningas]

I second Elephantium

 

[Elephantium]

Is the team okay with waiting on SABER to send us a formal diplomatic letter, or would the team like to compose something and send it without regard for SABER's pace?

 

[Empiremaker]

I would wait a couple of days, then send a letter. In the meantime would could draft a peace proposal of some(50?) turns.

Evidently Saber's turtling up on defense has affected other areas of their play also.

If we don't hear anything by the time we finish our next turn (Turn 132, currently with Team Babe) we need to contact them.

Received from Team Saber, before their Turn 132 and before our Turn 132:

Dear Team Free,

Our ambassadors were very pleased to see that we made contact with you. We have had contact with your friends of the Council for ages, and they told many good things about your people.

We were wondering if you have some kind of ambassador who we should contact if we want to talk? Our team has had several, but for now it's probably best to contact us through the official team e-mail ( team.saber@gmail.com). We are also interested in (MSN) chats.

We hope to hear from you soon,

Team Saber

 

[Elephantium]

Proposed response:

Well met, SABER!

FREE was running low on ambassadors, so they went to the zoo and picked out...me.

I can be reached via elephantium at gmail.com, but it would be helpful if messages could be copied to our official team email.

We look forward to many long years of peace.

And now I really must be going, I'm almost out of peanuts!

[Empiremaker]

Looks good. Maybe add a line like "we look forward to years of peace"

Yeppers, that's a goodun.

Uh, that is, I think it is fine and ready to send.

 

[Elephantium]

Message sent.

 

[Elephantium]

Is it just me, or is the total silence from SABER a bit eerie?

 

[Empiremaker]

I bet that they are low on participation and there is nothing really to say.

 

[CommandoBob]

I think we need to try to contact SABER just so they know that we are alive. I would like to know how they view the Babe-Council war and get a general feel for how they plan to play.

I would even be willing to trade screenshots of Babe's 11 tile islands in return for some information.

We might be able to get them to help in the Gong Book Burning Ceremony.

 

[Elephantium]

Proposed letter:

Well met, SABER!

It's been a while since our last letter, so the FREEthinkers over here asked me to write to you again. We've been wondering about how you view the BABE-Council war since that seems to be all the big news lately!

We're also curious about your goals for the future. Perhaps both our goals could align via trade. Perhaps we could share information?

We look forward to many long years of peace.

Teal Torpedo has just sighted some of Saber's border. Ask them if it is OK for Teal Torpedo to be inside their borders. We would like to sightsee and visit the Wonders of Saber or whatever else we can come up with.

Note: we can't trade WM with them (not without The Council's permission) but we could trade Territoral Maps.

 

[Empiremaker]

For the time being, I don't think we need to trade territory maps. If/When we invade, we will have a good idea where their core is. Its a good idea to ask permission.

 

[CommandoBob]

I was hoping that they would offer their TM to us so we could send Teal Torpedo elsewhere. Yeah, I wasn't planning to initially offer our TM to them; I should have made that clearer.
