Meshelic's english is better then mine

I'm gonna hold now, too obvious if we all get in there.

Meshelic: be casual, but keep it technical (like the poll was incorrect. <---- for distraction purposes)
very well put in words btw

[Meshelic]

Alva you have perfectly good English!

Already posted my barbarian response....hopefully it could catch steam....

oh well, we tried. and the percentage for the huts is with us



we will withdraw from now, and save our energy for battles more important.

but hey, this was our first bit of diplomatic maneuvering, and they totally have no idea what our agenda was/is

[alva]

Good practice indeed

We should make sure we're better prepared for the next battle though

Diplomats go to work !!!!

[asleepathewheel]

sounds like trip knows exactly what happened and doesn't care, its the result he wanted. we could argue that he skewed the poll on purpose to achieve what he wanted but that might tarnish our credibility.

[alva]

Yep

I wanted to send a PM to Spiffor, but we should have team brainwash on that one for the next time.

Maybe the diplomats should write a statement that invites other teams to make diplomatic deals. Without making promises off-course

We really need to get organised for cases like this
Even we can't afford to loose too many battles

hmmm. You know, when you mentioned that your strong suit was that of advisor, or Consiglieri, I thought OK. That sounds good.

Alright then, advise about items for discussion by opening threads.

Tag, you're it.

[alva]

done

for now

So there is roughly a 1 in 20 chance that we might get a map with no huts?

That's only 5%, and thus unlikely, but it adds to the "gamble" factor of choosing expansionist.

It is highly likely we will have huts & barbs, and thus an advantage if we're the Iroquois, but if we get unlucky and its a no-barbs map, we're really screwed.

Damn, it's to bad the new blood (me, DeepO, Theseus, alexman, etc) missed that poll.

We did try to reopen it, but we lost the argument
We didn't have a strong case to begin with, but was worth a shot.

yeah, it sucked

especially since each group has new members, and quite a few haven't voted, and that vote was so close, and taken so early in the process...
