Harbors and Luxuries

[alva]

And if other teams think we build the harbor just to be more responsive/less isolasionist, that could be appreciated too.

So get the deals first, then worry about the harbour.

Ok, so should our diplomats start negotiating deals from a standpoint of a 4-turn wait for a harbor?

Arrian:Sounds good to me.

Let it be known that in 4 turns we will have a harbor and want to use it.....

If no one minds I'd like to talk to RP. I'll set up some lux trading in 4 turns but also I'm going to talk a bit about hte war with vox. Specifically how they'd react if vox gifted them Eliopolis. Then maybe a few questions about the politics on bob.

Perhaps someone else would like to come too.

I'd like to come, if the time would be right.
Btw, we might want to inquire about RP's galley near the front with Vox.

Ok what time would suit you they said they have some one in their chat room almost all the time so there should probably be someone around. Not that we can get into their chat room.

My preferred times are 14:30 to 20:00 during weekdays, most of daytime and some of nighttime during weekends, GMT+2:00.
I can try to make it to chats if they are held at different times than these, but I can't promise anything.

This would be good. Please do. Let them know our perspective regarding any bobonian presence on our contenent (we view the same as if we were to have a citiy on bob). If they expect us to welcom one of thie cities on our contenent, then we expect to be welcomed on bob. We do now want any additional wars, but any other civilization's presence (prolonged beyond a turn or two) will be viewed as an act of aggression. We are willing to compensate them for turning the city over to us, however. Granted being gifted a city is one thing, keeping it beyond one turn would be another.

Also FEEL them out regarding Vox's survival. Here is their chance to "save" vox from almost certain extinction. We want to finalize our claim over our island and this means vox either has to pull up stakes and find a new home or perish. The question is ....where will vox go? Does RP have any opinions/ solutions regarding this?Play this by ear and do not broach the subject unless you feel that there is a receptive atmosphere to discuss it....


Also, I will not be around much for the next few days and any chats will have to happen with out me as my folks are in town until Friday morning.

I don't think we should say we'll pay them for the city. This will make them think: "Those damed fools on Estonia, one pays for accepting the city, and the other for givinig it away, ha ha ha ha!"

We'll just say we won't accept it, and take the city. If they seem real unhappy when that happens (actuall in-game takeover) we should consider compensating them.
