"You aren't my friend anymore" Hive-Pirate relationship termination?

[Jamski]

Basically the Pirates aren't talking to us, and we don't trust them. Should we consider terminating our Treaty of Friendship?

As it stands we are both getting a small ec income from commerce, and we would lose this if we cancelled the treaty. They would lose theirs too. The question is, would this action :

a) make them mad
b) wake them up
c) they wouldn't even notice we were gone

The idea would be to draw thier atention to us - a relationship needs a certain amount of work from both sides, like the Pirates actually REPLYING to us sometimes...

So vote away.

Wow there's an ec income from commerce that I'm not aware of!

It must be another bug with SMAX that isn't showing this commerce to me. I always thought that extra 0.05 ECs every turn was from Jamski's embezzling schemes, but now I know better.

[Jamski]

We are really getting NO commerce from the Pirates at all Kody? That wasn't the impression I got from our chat... Well, another reason to cancel.

Why wouldn't we have any commerce income from the treaty with the Pirates? I always thought that the commerce may actually be to ours benefit. Hmmmm

Well, I´d say we warn them first, then wait about two days and then cancel it if it needs to be.

The Pirated might be invulnerable by now, but they can´t afford to get enemies that soon, especially since
1) Miriam is a major threat that needs their complete attention
2) We´re the Hive, the most likely warfaring faction

Edit:
Yay! My 400th post! Yeehaaw!!!

I voted don't do anything. I don't know why do we need to anything (other than showing Hive's arrogance perhaps?) and if doing anything will help.

To show that we are a barely restrained warmongering faction, but honourable. Also that we do not trust people who do not spam enough.

[Jamski]

We do not like it when people don't reply to our quality spam

[Vev]

They are undeserving of our spam!

[Jamski]

Noone is good enough for Hive Spam - NOONE!

[Vev]

The Hive is such perfectionist. We ask for too much.

[Jamski]

Unfortunately we get it too

This's when one's head starts turning and forget how high the sky is

[Jamski]

How high is it, actually? Do we have a stratologist in the house?

30 km. Prove me wrong.
You imagine you could scare somebody away by using a non-existing word?
