Lordship of Diplomacy

[binTravkin]

So the offer could sound like:

We offer to exchange IA for complete transfer of control of all our troops on your continent to you!

Added:

BTW trading units to Angels is nice idea binTravkin

Yeah, It'd eliminate the need to recall our ferry to transport them out of DA continent

[Ouro_827]

I would get to work, except for that I'm not sure that you guys have agreed on a message for me to send yet...... I presumed I would officially begin as soon as we got the next year.... I would forward the next communication, after the next turn, and an explanation to Geomodder by PM.

It is definately hard to come to conclusions as a group. You could restate what seems to be consensus, if you think we are at that point. Otherwise, demand that we conclude by some time. By re-stating the group opinion you give people a chance to clarify or extend the position. If we approve the opinion then you can feel free to move on it. So where are we?

[Ouro_827]

OK, fine then. I'll start the draft for what I will go to my counterpart, Geomodder. It goes to him, right? Anyways, it seems that you guys aren't willing to pay ec, merely offer units, withdrawl terms, and no tech. OK, I'll see what I can do.

[Chaos Theory]

I thought offering (near-future) tech was an option.

[Illuminatus]

I agree with CT - we should try and go for that first. But smacksim option is interesting - however gifting unity rover to Angels worries me because not only we would loose a rover but Angels would get it - perhaps stall with extraction and preserve them for trade for another tech? BTW, we do not need to follow one message per MY formula - we can send multiple messages, even while turn is not in our hands.

[binTravkin]

So we have 2 options:

1.Giving future tech
2.Giving Spore Launcher

Ouro_827, you should make messages ready for em both in case the 1st fails

If it makes it easier, I could ask Frozzy if I can start a private forum on Eventis where yourselves and the Angels could post, so you can discuss diplomacy there too. That could make it quicker and more efficient to come to deals?

This was used in the last DG with Googlie's private forums, and worked well for us

[binTravkin]

Well, probably it'd be good!

Name it "The Meeting Room of Gaians and Data Angels" or somesuch..

Sneaky Drogue, trying to recruit more Events. There are much faster ways to create forums for that ( *cough* www.voy.com *cough*), Frozzy should work on removing PCs

[Drogue]

PCs will not be removed Faster way? I can do it in two clicks at L'Event, and I don't have an account at Voy (also the small matter of it sucking ).

[Drogue]

Forum has been created. If you register at Eventis (www.eventis.ssxh.net/forums) and PM myself, I'll grant you access. Access is only to registered members of the Angels or Gaians, as well as the 3 admins, myself, Frozzy and joncha.

[Illuminatus]

You can create forum that fast! This will also bring new people to Eventis unless they are scared away by massive amounts of spamming on other forums.

[Drogue]

Yep. Eventis is very efficient

[Ouro_827]

and where's this forum? Anyways,

To: Infotrader Geomodder
From: Ouro

Greetings from the Gaian people!
I am Lord Ouro, who has been chosen by the Gaians as the head ambassador to the people of the Data Angels. I look forward to working with you and your people. Both my staff and myself are willing to co-operate with your security forces through screening to prevent any unfortunate harm from happening, in the interests of increasing trust. On your part, I ask that you deliver co-ordinates to our pilot of the city we will be based in, or a location where we can rendezvous with your people to be escorted to what will be our new home in the days to come. Now, on to the buisness at hand

In exchange for your technology on Industrial Applications for Automation, I have been authorized to offer in return, the permanent ownership of the spore launcher that is currently in your lands. Please reply with haste.
