NDE Merger Offer

That is highly confidential!

I've just postet a poll in our forum.
The Post is in german i'll shoe it to you so you can get used to it

But i'll translate it roughly so you'll understand it.

********

Ich will folgendes wissen:

Soll ich Lux Invicta vorschlagen unter unserer Fahne zu fussionieren?

Das würde bedeuten, dass sie kapitulieren, mit ihrem siedler eine letzte Stadt bauen uns alle ihre Städte schenken und die Hauptstadt leer stehen lassen für den Einmarsch unserer
Truppen. Wir würden auch alles Geld und alle Forschungsergebnisse erhalten.

Dafür bieten wir ihnen an, bei uns als vollberechtigte Teammitglieder mitspielen zu können. Als Geheimabsprache könnte ich mir auch vorstellen ihnen ihre Rache an GoW zuzusagen.

Ich weiß nicht ob sie sich darauf einlassen aber Trip klang so, als ob dies eine Option für ihn wäre.

******

If this poll gets acepted we propose a complete takeover of your team with everything you have. Citys money and knowledg. We would give Lux in return a full membership of our team. You'd be Neu Demogytians then with full rights to play along this game with us. Part of this fission could be a paragraph that GoW will be crushed for good.

Is there a chance that this is aceptable?

Sounds like it's our only hope. I say take it.

giving them the city will only help them crush GoW faster....

but at the same time

The faster they do, the sooner I'll open a thread dedicated to GF.

And I like that.

I'm going to see if RP is willing to accept us as nomads before I'd say 'yes' to this.

BFM? What would you enjoy more? Being an active member of NDE, or spending our time into April moving a stack of 3-4 units south, then starting over?

While the idea of continuing the game on our own is appealing at first, I don't really think it would be much fun...

Given that I dont think NDE and Lego will both agree to the "evacuate the continent" proposal and even if they did we would be too weak to be a factor in the game. I have said before that the "retreat south" proposal at best leaves us in the same position the the proposal. More likely NDE will find our setter/new city fairly quickly and finish us off or RP decides to pick up an easy city to help them in their (likely) future fight against NDE (whether we join them or not.)

Therefore I think this is the best option for us. Just one logistical problem though. Given that I dont know any German, well except maybe "achtung", how will I know what other team members are saying?
