Sparta-Gaian relations

[Kassiopeia]

OK. (This late night diplomatic session is really a boon to my already swollen PC )

I've sent all four PMs now. Illuminatus doesn't want emails, I'll check the other three.

[Googlie]

looks good ( :fingers crossed: )

The massmailing is now done, seven copies sent, four by PM, three by email. I'll see if there are any Gaians online right now, and send a PM to them too.

Good proposal. Being generally in the Gaian camp, I would advocate coming clean and telling the whole truth to the Gaians. 50 ECs sounds reasonable. Or, if they reject that, we could then offer EthCalc.

And also, is there any way that we could get a loan from Lal before we get into a war with Zak and Lal next turn? The best part is, we wouldn't have to pay back a cent of it.

[Kassiopeia]

Zeiter, would you favour it in terms of RP or in terms of, well, actually? Just checking. Don't let all that RPing get to your head, afaik we have no definitve plan on things yet, but I think the real consensus is leaning towards a Morganite alliance...?

Well, of course, in parralel diplo-play you can't actually accept a deal to see what might follow

(But of course our Lal deal will stand, 'cos if the gaians accept, it's OK ..... and if they refuse, then we'll "contemplate Vendetta" which will also make it OK to execute the trade)

So I already asked the question, and got an 89 ec loan, and at that point I saved the game to await the Gaians' response

(The beauty of it is ... we'll use Lal's money to pay the Gaians for the right to trade their Ind Auto tech to Lal in exchange for Ethical Calculus, which we'll then sell to Morgan for oodles of ec's (and if they thought Gene Splicing was expensive ...........) as well as to the Gaians and Angels, which means as well that the tech we first steal from Zak won't be Eth Calc but something else .........)

That we are. Time to practice our evil laughter, guys! Use your belly, make it resonate. Don't forget to breathe. Just let the laughter flow out from within your cold, darkened heart and soul.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!

BWAHA, BWAHA, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!

But pity poor Snowflake as she attempts to make sense out of all this for the Official History of the Spartan Federation

BWAHA, BWAHA, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA !!!

I'm still feeling favorable towards the Gaians (not just RP), and part of me is still hoping that something works out between us, but the chances are looking more and more slim. No problem, the Morganites will also make excellent pawns-er, I mean, partners.

Edit: Oh, and I almost forgot:

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Absolutely. It's the only venue that allows us to transcend the borders of the emulated reality the game imposes on us. There is no limits to how we negotiate, (for) what we negotiate, and how we negotiate, as there is playing SP against the AI.

I see that my mommie called at a bad time...

Going back a few pages to where I left off...

[KrysiasKrusader]

Trying to get in the Gaian embassy with the Morganite password leads to much frustration...



Edit: Can't wait for the Angel one to get going and add to it all...

[Kassiopeia]

Heh, yes. The aimoo thingee seems to ask for the password at the most inopportune of moments.

I noticed Ouro_something of the Gaians online, so I threw at him a PM too, describing our diplomatic predicament and with a copy of the message. I'll be off to bed, so I hope you Googlie will be able to sort this out. If they don't agree with our proposal, we'll just do the trade anyway and rely on the "deliberation of vendetta" clause - if we are discovered, that is. So it looks like all of our angles are covered
