Data Angels Diplomacy

[AndiD]

A nice way to put "No business at the moment" (because they have nothing to trade). I wonder why they don't cooperate.

Anyway, then they don't deserve it any better than being picked like a ripe apple in the end. (is there a similar saying in English - I just translated a German one...)

From Geo:

Planetary Governor Elections

CEO's of the Corporation,

The Data Angels are prepared, for a proper price, to support the Morgans' choice in these elections.
In case you are interested, these are the current stats in the elections:

Zakharov: 6 votes for Sparta
Lal: 82 votes for the Peacekeepers
Yang: 94 votes for the Human Hive
Sinder Hercules: 38 open votes
Nwadube Morgan: 44 open votes
The Junta: 52 open votes

There are 3 contenders for the Governors' Seat thus.

There are interesting possibilities on whether your enemy the Peacekeepers will become governor, or your neighbour the Hive.

Please respond whether or not you wish to deal on this. We need a valid reason in case we wish for an extension of our turn playtime.

How about we say we are going to vote for Sparta unless we get some real Pact and cooperation from them.

Sorry, didn't see this posting. I wouldn't want to press them for a Pact anymore - it is obvious that they don't want one at the moment and I highly doubt that a Pact became suddenly more attractive after Sparta declaring Vendetta on Gaia...

I replied as follows (see Governor thread):

Sinder Geo,

The Corporation has decided that we will vote for Lal. Talks on secret channels confirmed that he was pressed into declaring Vendetta upon us by blatant threats from the Junta. He is deeply worried about the current state of affairs on Planet and hopes that a position of Council leader will empower him to lead Planet to a more peaceful - and if I may add, a more profitable - state for all factions.

The Corporation also has faith in the Data Angels placing their vote in the best interest of Planet - especially under the light of Lord Chaos latest empathy-aided insights into the current state of geopolitics - see his letter to the editor in the latest issue of the Phalanx.

The Corporation appreciates the open cooperation with the Data Angel faction in this case and will keep good memory of their goodwill for future transactions.

On behalf of the Corporation
Yours truly,
AndiD
SOO and Acting Turnplayer of Morgan Industries

PM to Geo

Why are you waiting?

Geo

I am considering one of a few options.


One, is a three way pact with Gaia, DA, and Morgan.

We all share all our tech to leapfrog. We assist you and Gaia as much as we can. DA and Gaia assist Morgan and each other as much as possible. We all try to counter Sparta.

Two, is to abandon the game and let end turn be pushed repeatedly.

Three, is to surrender to Sparta.

Without a complete coordinated response towards Sparta's worldwide domination with a three way (DA, Gaia, Morgan) alliance I'm not sure we should continue.

See my posting in the Spartan Diplo thread. We could either use Geo as a mediator or perhaps a "Lal" Sparta and we agree on. It is more than obvious that they want to keep neutral and at least die last.

Drouge? Method? Snowflake? (if still active) Tassadar?

Latest to Geo - Status Check

Hello Geo,

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.

[paramir]

With geo leaving beacuse of a "sickening" post, the spartans seem far enough from the angels for us to move in with a pact.
Am I the only person who sees it that way?

[Mead]

PM to Geo

Geo

I'm intrigued.

What was the Spartan post that so upset you?


Can you pass it onto me?


If you like, we will not share it with any other faction.


If you don't even want me to share it with the rest of my faction let me know and I won't.



Sparta has been trying to do tech deals with us, although I think it is futile to continue to deal with them (unless perhaps the DA, Gaia, and Morgan were perma pacted for at least 25 years to counter Sparta) I was considering going ahead with the tech deals.

I am curious what they could have posted in their embassy that could so sour you on the game.

Please forward me a copy. Let me know if you don't want it shared with other factions or even the rest of my faction. If you don't want me to share it with the rest of my faction I won't, but I may let them know that your action was well founded.


Mead


PS
Although Sparta set up an embasy for us to use as well, I have not gone back there for weeks, or maybe even months. If they want to talk to me they can do it by PM. I don't trust their embassy.

[paramir]

Geo's dosen't want to participate anymore, so you may want to forward it to another angel aswell

[AndiD]

Angels and Gaia should start their own tech leapfrog conference together with us - and we can always help out with ec if they need them. (We can also still do decent tech rates - and even better ones in a few years)

Message from the new DA Ambassador

Hello AndiD of the Morgans

As I need to know all that is going on in the Diplomatic Arena and the working coppies were destroyed by a Worm could you email me an update as to your views and positions.

Thankyou and l am looking forward to hearing from all.

Perhaps we should set-up a 3-way embassy for Gaia, DA and Morgan just like the Sparta-Morgan embassy?

[Micha]

The problem with external embassies is, that most people don´t bother to visit them regularily. I haven´t been to the Spartan one for months, and I doubt I´m the only one.

However we trust you to find a way to leak critical information from the embassies to this main forum, so we lesser lurkers may also get to throw a glance upon our foreign affairs...

[#endgame]

I never actually went to any embassies at all.

I can't even visit them
