Gaian Diplomacy

[arginine]

I don't know if this is relevent, but maybe our investments could yield a higher return if invested within the Gaian Union. If they have the terraforming already in place, we could invest in facilities for them to popboom, or maybe they could popboom some of our cities.

[AndiD]

I'm gonna check the first aspect, the latter one has one slight problem... our cities wouldn't be able to handle more pop drone-wise. We need RecCommons, Treefarms and whatever.

Main problem is - everyone is building "red" units against Sparta right now. Not very profitable but a simple necessity.

[arginine]

Cash is more cost effective when spent on buildings than units. IF the Gaians can popboom a few cities, it will increase their production somewhat. A stronger Gaia would be usefull in this war. Unfortunately, our nation has not been growing for a while.

DAP Next Turn

Latest PM from Chaos.

I intend to accept. This way we may be able to save our artifact for another tech. I strongly suspect sparta will be hunting for it once they see we are completeing our Net Node. If I was them that's what I would do.

ACDG Tech trade

We propose this to you:

You send us Environmental Economics pre-accepted on your next turn. We receive it on our next turn, and switch to Doctrine: Air Power, finishing it that turn. We send you Doctrine: Air Power pre-accepted.

I got this PM from Ouro about 2 hours after the PM from Chaos.

Are they coordinating their actions?

This is a long delayed communique, but the Gaians have been having intense internal discussions about a course of action. Suffice to say, I support the alliance, and the idea. We will do our best to get D:AP, but be warned the artifact is no longer in our possesion. Thank you, from the Gaian people.

Mead

[AndiD]

Sounds good, Chaos' PM that is. If noone objects, we shall make it so.

Dunno what Ouro's PM is about. It doesn't say anything except that they lost the artifact. (Why would they reveal that?)

[AndiD]

Does anyone object to us sending EE and D:AP to Gaia so that they can switch to whatever they want? (Objections please within 24 hours...)

[#endgame]

I've no problems with that.

No problem. I'll arrange the deal.

What do we want them to change to and get back to us?


Mead

[AndiD]

We throw SotHB into the deal, too and they should do Neural Grafting towards MMI and BioEngineering.

We get Neural Grafting back and as soon as we can catch our breath, we switch our labs back on and do BioEng or MMI.

While you are at it, what is Chaos' opinion about talking to Sparta?


If they shouldn't be able to do Neural Grafting, well, I can't think of any short-term useful tech right now.
Better weapon: Non-linear-Math -> IntInt -> Cyberethics -> (Chaos Gun)
Better defense: AdvSubTheo -> Silksteel [but we don't need defenses, really...]

[AndiD]

We should get Neural Grafting back from Gaia...

Anyway, 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)

[paramir]

On eventis geo told me that he won't tell us what the spartans said, but other angels might

Can someone clarefy who the gian diplomat is, many of them seem involved

Try Ouro_827. If he doesn't respond, just PM the turnplayer. They'll get a response to you, or at least let you know who you should talk to.

Please get this message to your diplomat

The Spartans have the ability to make their units go further, with there high moral, now not only do they have but they have better units as well.
That is why it is IMPARATIVE that we enter in a tech leapfrogging agreement with you and the DA, I hope you can see the importance of this agreement.
