Diplomacy, ambassadors and contacts

[Ljube]

To all teams, please appoint your official ambassadors and post their MSN contact details in this thread. These ambassadors will negotiate deals on behalf of their teams over MSN and post the negotiations transcripts in the private forums.

The idea behind this is to have all contacts ready prior to any civ meeting another, so that the negotiations can begin without delay and progress smoothly.


I'll update the first post with contacts as they arrive.
I'm also sending an email with this proposal to every team captain.


Blood Oath Horde (Mongolia): Great Khan (Team-Leader) Paddy the Scot, Ambassador Ljube-ljcvetko.

Euphorica

Turn Player: McMeadows (verweg ta hotmail tod com)
Foreign Affairs Minister: Snoopy369 (snoopy369 ta yahoo tod com)

Both are on MSN in the same email.

Either one of us speaks for the team in any discussion. Most of the time one or the other of us is online but not both anyway...

I refuse to use the word Ambassador as that is a position greatly below my own...

[Ljube]

Ankh-Morpork have decided to keep the Ambassador's post empty.

The office of Foreign Minister of the Desolation Row has been bestowed on the right honourable Moonbars.

Sir Moonbars shall be responsible for all discussions and negotiations with the rest of you rabble, and has the full authority of the autonomous collective known as The Desolation Row to conclude any diplomatic deals. We shall then decide whether or not to abide by them

You may want to edit how you entered your e-mail address...unless you enjoy e-mails from Nigeria

I find it amusing that with the exception of Moonbars, the rest of us are all FG:GO players ... Will make for some ... interesting ... diplomacy between that game and this one

Ljube: "Hmm, my fleet seems to have found your home bases. So sorry ... "
Snoopy: "Hmm, our warriors found your cities ... rather empty."
Ljube: "Eek! Well, perhaps a deal may be made?"
Snoopy: "Hmm, yes, this sounds good to me. We leave your cities, and you send me my bases back?"
Ljube: "Hmm, okay, except now Lord Nuke has conquered MY bases ..."
Lord_Nuclear: "Hmm, yes, and sadly for you MY cities are well protected, thank you very much ... "
Snoopy: "Yes, hmm, you mean THESE cities ??"
Lord_Nuclear: "Hmmmmmm ... maybe a deal might be possible after all?"
...

Of course, we ultimately decide to form the GO-ruling "DG Alliance" and agree to end the game by all sending our fleets into a neutral corner and "fight all comers" being the orders for all of us, after we have decimated all of our opponents. Much easier than constantly trading cities for selfbases.

Umm, no. It is Apolyton. Forum games... In the "Other Games" forum...

[Shogun Gunner]

The Babylonians are pleased to announce their Ambassador for Foreign Affairs.

The selection of Mister Shogun Gunner, of Babylon, was an exhaustive process including a civil service exam, evaluation of hph (hieroglyphics per hour) chisel speed, and an evaluation of Mr. Gunner's morality tested by a sacrifice to the almighty Goddess Inanna. Needless to say, Shogun Gunner passed with flying colors -- if he had not, he would have been been immediately sacrificed to appease our vengeful Goddess, Inanna (see below).

Please take a moment to say "hello" to the new Babylonian Ambassador as he visits your respective capitals for the first time in the coming years. Any interoffice scrolls that could be forwarded to Babylonian capital to shorten Shogun's learning curve would be appreciated.

Welcome, Ambassador Shogun Gunner.

Oh and....errrr....that was rather an honest admission of yours on such an embarrassing subject......so we would be only too pleased to assist in the shortening of your curve

Ah, excellent, the domination of this games by the FG crowd continues.

[Paddy]

[Shogun Gunner]
