Term 5 Trade: Now the Bitterness is gone, lets get on with some trades.

[Sir Donald III]

Copied from the Foreign Aid Thread

Since the Trade with the Aztecs for Theory of Gravity has popular support in the Early Polls, I would like to make this Proposal:

Proposed: A gift of 500 Gold to Babylon with a rider that we immediately sell Theory of Gravity to Babylon for at least 250 gold.

Why don't we then give them 250g and ToG instead? this is in the FCC[thread] thread also.

Whichever deal is fine by me, seeing how they're not so advanced anything we give will benefit them.

Honorable Minister,
I would like to request that you investigate the possible trades for Free Artistry and Espionage. I will start a citizen's discussion thread as well, but I cannot run vanilla so I can't get the likely trades.

THanks

Another discussion is up. Lets have a blast. Atomic Theory trades and other things.

Since I was so vocal in chastizing MSAV for poll conduct (having other department responsibilities wrapped into the MSAV poll), I must also protest the current set of trade polls. Although having links to discussion threads provides good background material, it is traditional to include the actual trade which is being voted on in the poll itself. Please at least put in the time to give a short version of each trade in the 1st post of the poll.

What is the point of having a discussion if all I need to do is put up a poll with the relevant trading options?

the discussions might change some peoples opinion on the matter, polls should always include what they are about, maybe I should start 'Polling 101'

ch, when a voter looks at the trades you've listed as options in your poll, they might be inspired to "check the facts" by looking at the discussion. Their thinking might be that a lesser trade than the obvious killer trade would be more advantageous to Japanatica. Having the Trades listed (with a small description) plus a link to the factual discussion is a sign of a GOOD poll. Having only one or the other is somewhere between mediocre and bad.
