    reply from AndiD, and., as well, Morgan got DocAir (see their build list - I guess the free penetrator runs are a thing of the past)

    Posted by AndiD in the Embassy
    Greetings, Col. Googlie,

    on behalf of the Corporation I would like to thank you for your open introduction of yourself and the current organization of the Federation, as well as your proposal of a 1st Planetary Peace Conference (1PPC).

    Since Chief Diplomacy Officer Mead is currently coordinating all other diplomatic efforts of the Corporation through various channels as his daily duty, the Board of Directors has decided to appoint a special spokesperson - me - to express the opinion of the Corporation in matters dealing with the 1PPC. CDO Mead and all other Boardmembers will stay closely involved with this matter of course.

    As we stated on some occasions before, the Corporation is definitely interested in peace on Planet and subsequently in taking part in the 1PCC, since "Peace is good for business" (Morganic Rules of Acquisition Rev II, No. 47). We would also accept the Data Angels as neutral party and hosts of the 1PPC.

    It is a coincidence that we are currently formulating new long term strategic business plans on corporate level just right now. Given the current state of affairs, it should not be surprising that we did not include the Federation as potential business customer yet. But first prognoses show that it would be truly beneficial for both of us if we could be allowed access to the Spartan markets and vice versa again. Just to be able to validate our prognoses before the conference starts, what would be the most important gains from the Federation point of view?

    As a sign of goodwill in the light of your proposal, what would the Federation think of ceasing attacks on Morgan units? In return, we would offer strict adherence to the Modo Doctrine in the future. Additionally, as you might have noticed we did not offensively return fire on any Spartan attack in the last years, not to worsen the - then-deteriorated - relations even more.

    Regarding the Hive, I'm sure that Chairman Yang will soon find out that the Corporation is no less a tough nut than the Federation and we are more than prepared to face his "military machine". We congratulate the Federation to persuading the Chairman to the advantages of peace, as well as to the recent acquisition of the Citizen Defense Force.

    On behalf of the Corporation

      I wonder how many of those they can rush...

      Either way, it seems like the party will be over next turn.
      Seriously. Kung freaking fu.

        I'm thinking we should offer peace on relatively equal terms. Perhaps we should demand that our installment plan for selling them ethcalc be promptly made up to date, meaning, they pay us however much they need to so that it would be as if we had never suspended the payments at all. Then we will resume the payments as usual. We should also demand a formal apology for the mind-controlling of the hunter.

          How about posting this message in the Morgan embassy?

          Since peace finally reigns again between the Corporation and the Federation, we were wondering whether you'd be interested in cementing our relationship by engaging in technology trades. You've got the credits. We've got the techs. What better circumstances for tech trades could there be? :^D

          Concrete, we have Doctrine : Initiative, Adaptive Doctrine, Cyberethics and Intellectual Integrity for sale. Soon we should be able to add Neural Grafting and Planetary Economics to that list.

          Are you interested?

            Yes, dangling a big carrot in front of them while holding an even bigger stick in reserve. Perfect.

                Maybe we execute a leapfrog with them - the Ascetic Virtues for them and the Cyborg Factory for us

                we could then think in terms of getting to Applied Relativity and building the Supercollider at AU or FS

                    If the Angels refuse to give us AV rights, I'd like this very much. Though if possible, due to my builder bias personally I prefer the AV over the CF. The Cyborg Factory can be more or less replaced by building Bioenhancement Centers in strategic bases. The AV can't be substituted.

                        At last a reply (to our ofering to intercede on their behalf with Zak and Lal)

                        Posted by AndiD in the Embassy
                        The Corporation is very interested in resuming trade with Brother Lal and will gladly compensate the ambassadors of the Junta for their efforts.

                        The Corporation usually prefers performance-oriented salaries and could think of 17 ec for the preparation of a successful Truce negotiation, 17 ec for the preparation of a profitable Treaty business agreement and another 17 ec as soon as the Peacekeeper faction is willing to agree to a Pact.

                        Social Engineering-wise the Corporation runs Democracy and the Peacekeepers run Free Market, no fire has been exchanged between us yet, so this should be perfect premises for successful negotiations as soon as the Peacekeepers' amabassadors are willing to listen thanks to the Junta's suggestions.

                        Fees and salary details are open for further negotiation.

                          Was Lal not saying he would not sign peace with the Corporation?
                          Is that why you proposed to bring the Peacekeepers down to a submissive status, Googlie? What a devilish plan.

                          Oh, and by all means, we should make sure the Corporation shows their appreciation of our help. They must understand we like generosity.
                          Seriously. Kung freaking fu.

                              A request for clarification from mead regarding our Modo Doctrine

                              If at 8 tiles from every Spartan base, then we extend over Morgan landmass.

                              Can we live with 6 tiles? here's what our western ocean would look like with a 6-tile exclusion zone: (and would let them exit their harbors without asking permission from us)

                                Not everywhere. I think we can negotiate for the specific areas they need (i.e. Morgan territory), and only for them. Other places should count as 8-tile zone. I would say we can allow them to cruise their coast, and only their coast.
