Yeah, most of my writing is in secret and I think it should be. I've made a few hints in public though.

I don't agree with the once a week voting thing for this very reason BTW. But I did vote but not confident it means that much. Some have great stories and pics; others might have clever behind the scenes strategy or both.

edit

thats cool btw..

Why should most of your writing be in private?

Its a diplogame! We should try and keep the private stuff to a minimum. That said, I've already voted on the matter, so whoever hasn't voted hurry it up, the session is tonight!

[LzPrst]

ok. soon time for a new session


as for votes. It's time to send them in again. I know there may not be much going on for all players and a lot going on in secret, but most likely, these things will be revealed in time and get their due credit then. also, if you consider some correspondance to be non-essential, you could post it in the story thread instead. I've been using the mail mostly, and I find that works great. but I think maybe those letters could be published, but the "secret parts" edited out. or whatever. we'll figure something out. remember, not writing in the story thread = no vote points...


And finally, correct. no votes for yourself. that would just be silly.

Well if you are corresponding with someone in secret and they are doing a really good job you feel, then you should vote for them.

If a civ is making an effort to negotiate and correspond with lots of different civs in secret, then all those civs will know about it and vote for them.

Did we ever decide what "10 tech trades" means?

For instance, if I trade 3 techs for one, how many trades have I used?

Has this been ironed out?


Also, I am finding this voting email thing extremely hard. Maybe Im retarded, but i lost one message already, and have to go to 3 different posts to login.

I took it to mean, simply, that each player gets 10 techs they can trade in the game-period.

So, as an example, if the Mali & Ottoman storylines are accurate (& we really must assume that everyone is being above board) then the Turks have traded 1 tech, whilst the Mali gave 2 in return (man, that guy really needs to learn how to drive a harder bargain!)

Anyway, this would mean that the Ottomans can trade 9 more techs, whilst the Mali can only trade another 8-does that sound right people?

So giving and receiving techs both count as a trade tech for tech?

I am given 2 free techs = 2 trades

I give a tech away = 1 trade


?

That sounds right.

Each tech used in a trade is one of 10 maximum.

[The_Aussie_Lurker]

No Pinchak, only the techs you give count towards the cap-not the ones you receive. So, theoretically, if there are 11 civs in the game, then every civ could benefit from 100 techs total-whilst only ever having given away 10 .

No that isn't right. Your saying they would both suffer a penalty of 3 trades. In the example...

The Ottomans recieve no penalty for aquiring 2 techs. So the trades is applied only to what we can give?

[Diplo Holland]

Each tech you use is one of the 10, very simple.

[Diplo Inca]

Yes Pinchak
