Thanks for showing intrest and a willingness to help. Since diplomacy takes a bit of work, and we need to imposes some limits. Therefor if you have a diplomatic position, you shouldn't sign up for another. That dosent mean that you cant back-up someone in a pinch. It is just that the more bodies focused on a single civ, the less chance of something falling between the cracks...
Let us not divide the ambassadors energy.

So uit appears that the verdict is not in regarding the PR minister, that is fine, lets discuss the pros and cons more...

That leaves NYE, OctavianX (Welcome, by the way) Arrian and Shiber who are interested...

If it is OK with everyone, I would really like to "appoint" NYE to FAM, as he stated, he is already maintains contact with all the other civs. I also like his diplomacy filters.. He tends to speak wisdom and calmness. This is a key. I believe that we can work out some basic diplomacy values and policies that would "shape" our general tone.

Arrian spoke up and offered to work with DeepO with Lego.... keep your friends close and your enemies closer, ehhh Arrian

I am tempted to task Octavian X with RP. He can help OPD. I am hoping that his "new hotness" will melt our "old crustyness" with RP. Opinions anyone?

Shiber, I guess that you have the choice of working with Alva with ND, Zeit with GoW or taking Vox completely off my plate. I think that nbarclay has doen an excellent job as ambassador (standing in for my slackard-ness) and would like to see him continue to back it up or become primary contact, but either way I should step down from that. The prioity I have is fill GoW, then ND then Vox. The choice is yours Shiber....

More later,

Thanks All

It's a tough choice, but I'll take ND.

Thats great. I suggest that we get to be good friends with them (to a point). Not much is happening on this front, currently. I can tell you that they seem to feel shut-out of Bob poilitics. Both GoW and ND feel unsafe and played. We have a seemingly good rapport with GoW (Thank's Zeit) so ND is the other one we want to get in good with. Maybe Engineering would be something we need to get from ND, not in the Voxedus.

RP is a different thing. I wonder if Octavian X should contact them and see what they are up to. We can take the tact of... We want a secure trading partner, we also want to stay out of Bob entanglements. How do we know that we can expect RP to be stable....

Just some thoughts....

Welcome aboard Shiber....

After reaing the thread, I realized that Octavian X, you are willig to be our PR guy? Thats great, really your choice, I know I set you up as ambassador, but if you feel you can do PR, by all means, Heeellllppp!

**Shiber** · June 19, 2003, 01:46

Thanks MSS!
The RP idea sounds very good.
I will spur discussions in the ND comments thread to have a reply prepared for ND's latest message.

**Octavian X** · June 19, 2003, 02:27

I'd be happy to get to work with OPD in PR.

(ironic - he's also my Co-Vice President in the C3DG2

)

Maybe we should think about establishing a newspaper...

Good to see we have an influx of newcomers into the Scholia- I assure all the newcomers that we in the Diplo Scholia (Foreign Affairs Ministry) we'll use you until you scream for us to stop, and than some more...

Kudos for MSS, with the help of many others- for succesfuly harnassing the outside pressure and interest in this team, into a revived interest and participation in our Scholia.

May the Storm by with us!

Something like that.

**notyoueither** · June 22, 2003, 02:33

I'll be happy to help.

The first thing I'll help with is that we need more active chit chat contact with RP and Lego.

Octavian X for PR would be excellent, in my opinion. Oh, did he mean RP? That would be fine too. Maybe both.

Now, who is helping DeepO with Lego? Perhaps I will.

**DeepO** · June 22, 2003, 05:36

If I'm back in time, I'll try to have a chat with Lego this evening. I haven't asked them already, as I'm not sure when exactly I'm going to return tonight...

nye, I would appreciate the help (you know I can't find all the time I'd want)... so is that a 3-ambassador team then? (Arrian, yourself and me)

DeepO

**Arrian** · June 23, 2003, 10:48

DeepO,

Hey, sorry I wasn't online much this weekend. I forgot to mention when I signed up for this that this past weekend (21st, 22nd) and next weekend (28th, 29th) are bad for me.

After that, though, I should be able to get in on some of these chats (once I download mIRC).

-Arrian

**DeepO** · June 23, 2003, 11:59

well, I'm going to try to catch someone from Lego tonight, yesterday I returned at 1:30 am, and was not in the mood for chatting. Don't worry about the weekends, those can be busy for me as well.

When I get home, I definately am going to write a MP to Lego, asking for a chat, asking about the map, and asking about Theo.

DeepO

**Arrian** · June 23, 2003, 13:19

Oh, gotcha.

Well, when I get home, I'll download mIRC and see if I can figure it out, while checking in here to see if you've got a chat going.

-Arrian

Sounds good. I will back you two up, as I will do for all the other ambassadors.
