The Infotrader/Infiltrator Network - Diplomacy plug-in (II)

[Mart]

FlameFlash, maybe you could start a new thread in our forum pertaining to future Yang invasion, where we could discuss plans and other issues. Security Nexus was meant for defensive purposes, so that new thread might be good. The sooner we draw good strategic and tactical plans the better.

Also, pm to me your email, so I can send to you our Yang territory map, which we did from base infiltration data. It is old now, but may help

From the Morgans:

Long time no speak.

Are you interested in a 3 way Pact with Gaia and Morgan?

We could all share all our tech and leap frog past Sparta.

Without the Pact none of us will survive.

We have no intell to pass onto you. As you know, Sparta with MCC and its many bases rules the waves.

Let me know if you are interested in a three way Pact.

Mead

PS
Because of RL and the low prosepcts of any of us actually winning this game my interest in the game has greatly diminished. Perhaps with the a 3 way Pact the interest on all the teams might be revived.

[ForesterSOF]

They are still trying; but like some I still go for treaty only.

[Mart]

Actually, when Spartans are going to be Pacted with us we might go for Pact with Morganities too. Having the same rule of not interfering into their conflict. After all, there is also another point Mead is maybe not aware - Spartans wish to negotiate peace. We might get into peace time again. And being in the position of Pacted with almost everyone. Not bad, provided they all will not attack us at some point.

[ForesterSOF]

After pact with S is done then go for pact with M and then negotiate would be my preference.

Because of player order we may have to pact with M with diplo aggrement with S on the why.

The middleman thing has been talked about; I just dont want to get in a yelling contest with S.

[Mart]

yes, I have a feeling Spartans will not bear very well too much neutrality on our part. They already want us to be very much on their side.

[foolish_icarus]

have any of the combatants actually begun at all with peace negotiations?

[ForesterSOF]

I have only read that the S want peace and use to intermediaries.

I dont want to put the cart before the horse on this one.

[foolish_icarus]

I guess we want to decide how much effort we should put into facilitating the reaching of a peace treaty. Unless they are exactly evenly matched, the sooner they reach peace, the better, lest the victor grow too strong (and pressure grows for us to become militarily involved). Maybe the process needs a little nudge...find out if they are negotiating yet, if not set up a public thread for that purpose?

[Hercules]

How about we canvass the idea of a public discussion thread on this.

I would imagine that whatever their private views, we can always claim (unless they compare notes) that there was a majority for setting up a peace forum. And I would guess there probably is at this time.

[ForesterSOF]

The differences I am see are how cautous to be.

[Hercules]

As far as I can see this is heading towards a crucial decision making time for us DJs.

Get your thinking hats on and post a proposal.

[GeoModder]

Both Zakharov and Lal are willing to communicate this turn. But both are getting anxious to have our support against the Morgans as well. Lal brings in an updated map, including Hive territory. Yang refuses to speak.

2 turns before Gaians research EnvEcon, 2 turns before Lal finishes DAP, Yang started DInit.

[ForesterSOF]

Now and first turn
1. Tell S why we need to pact with M.
2. Pact with S by pre approved diplo.

Next turn
Accept Pact from M (Do in first turn if S. can live with it).

Setup talks.

1. Non agression by either S or M.
2. Territory will stay the way it is unless M can buy/trade city/land with S.
3 Pact S and M so they can have mutal trade and improvment. (This is not needed but prefered).

Should we send on Env Econ this turn to the Gaians as a gesture of goodwill ? and also so that they can switch to Doc: Air.

Oh do we need to send Doc Flex as well?

Maybe we should run the Gaians techs thru the spreadsheet forecaster to see what they will discover next ?
