vox thread number xx: communism

[DeepO]

I don't think we can, Theseus. I mean, we can share a lux with Vox, hope they trade it on, and declare war on Vox later on, but jthat wouldn't be terribly efficient. We could also ask RP to trade with Lego, but that is completely weird...

Rhoth:

We are interested in Communism. how about furs and incense for 20 turns each. I assume you would want an NDA on that? We will need you to agree not to resell/gift the luxes to a third party, our own deals largely coming to an end in that time frame, and what with the relative values of luxes increasing due larger cities these days, well...


How's that? I was trying to avoid saying WE ARE PLANNING ON ATTACKING AT LEAST ONE OF YOUR ALLIES SO DO NOT TRADE THEM OUR LUX

[Krill]

I thought Vox only had one friend? If so, that makes it impossible to say that we are going to cancel our other deals without arousind suspicion.

Say that we don't want them to resell the lux because we want to renegoitiate all of our other deals.

How does that sound?

vox has many friends, of varying levels of course. They owe their lives to Lego, certainly, but if we were to attack either GoW or ND, they would certainly support them against us. After all, both were staunchly pro-vox during our war, to what extent, we don't know (gow landed troops against us). If we attack any of the big 3, vox would likely play all sides (except against lego).

And I intended that to read, "we are going to be possibly renegotiating our current deals when they run", not we are cancelling some permanently... I can see how unclear that was, thanks.

S'ok, and thanks for the info. I must have spent a go 30 hours reading old threads from the wars, but I still have ton(nes) to go through

Hey sleepy, have you sent that PM to Rhoth yet? Send it with the edit you suggested.

[DeepO]

Only thing I just thought of: what are they going for next?

DeepO

[Krill]

DO you know what techs they have?

[DeepO]

Yes... they're up to refining, RP, and medicine, and just got communism. They lack Steel, SM, AT, Elo, sanitation on us.

They can either do espionage, or help lego by going for SM, once Lego figures out we won't give it to them

I haven't sent it yet....so if you guys have other suggestions, let me know.

[Krill]

Post a draft, We can send it tonight, if no one has any other suggestions.

[asleepathewheel]

we"ll I'll send something similar to what is posted above, I was just wanting changes based on what deepo said of future techs. I've got a job interview in under an hour so don't have time now

[Krill]

Good luck, I hope you get it.

Tell us how it went later.
