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

im guessing DA\Morgan relations are as icecold as it gets...

[Mart]

Or maybe it is not enough time. We also do not answer recent messages from Spartans, though we should.
They probably do not need/want to trade anyway.

We should reply to Spartans.

[GeoModder]

Last Spartan message I remember is a proposal for tech trade and support for Global Trade Pact. AFAIK we responded already to that?

[GeoModder]

Did we ask the Morgans in a private PM to mediate between us and the Spartans for this loan repayment? They haven't posted anything there. We better do so I think.

[Kataphraktoi]

k,ill write something up in the next 1\2 hour

We would be curious to know of you are interested in using your monatary skills to help secure peace on Planet. As you may know, a dispute over a loan has arisen between the Spartan Federation and the DataAngels. A mediation by the Morganites would hopefully provide a mutually agreeable loan payment and prevent unfortunate hostilities which could result in the tragic deaths of innocent civilians.

im not very used to this.i prefer stating my terms and talking from the behind of a very large gun....this ok?

[GeoModder]

Has my blessings, now let's see if the other hackers approve as well.

And if you prefer to 'negotiate' with the largest gun around, then I wonder how rare it is you do negotiate in a PBEM.

[Mart]

I would maybe tell more, that they have "excellent monetary skills" not only "monetary skills". This shows more we have more respect to their skills. We would receive warmer reply.
-----
After rethinking it, I would also do not imply any hostilities. Think of it, as when we say "peace on planet" it is like the vendetta is about to be declared. We do not know it yet. We just take it as possibility, so maybe just state "good relations" instead of "peace"

[GeoModder]

I'm getting curious on why the Spartans are suddenly so... talkative... They didn't tell anything about another punishment attack or so. Perhaps they managed to infiltrate someone?

[Kataphraktoi]

suspect the spartan talk is a pre-attack preparation. perhaps within 5-10 turns? dunno. why else than that?

excellent monatary skills...ok.
ill wait to send it till herc\forester gets a say

well i do negotiate in pbems,but all the diplo talk starts grossing me out(the effort to keep a face up).you shoulda seen the smooth talking i put on one player he fully went through with my intentions,not realizing how much he was giving me. (tho i had no intent to backstab)

[Hercules]

Go ahead from me.

[ForesterSOF]

Me also.

Butter them up all you want.

[Kataphraktoi]

sent

Butter them up all you want.

actually i was so bored of diploing after 20 messges back and fourth i was just glad it was over. i wouldnt have ever sent the pm if i knew id have to go through that

Do we all share this feeling?
Maybe we should do as many AAA defenders with aerospace complexes as possible? A few more F-6 and B-6. possibly chaos ones?

Where might they strike first?

[GeoModder]

IF most of us think that this is the case, then we better do the first strike. It would help if that cursed airgroup we spotted last turn would be gone. Unless of course they first want to create a number of chaos bombers/fighters. That could take a few more turns. I suggest preparing things for probe raping Yang and taking a base of him so he might wish to offer truce in the same turn. At least we'll have the capability to construct better weapons then.
