Great Embassy: discussion on first contact

[Theseus]

No one has really responded to the idea, but why don;t we share luxury info? At least in piecemeal?

Realistically it's totally irrelevant, and the second we meet anyone it'll be known anyway...

And, it's a reasonable bit of knowledge to ask for... if a civ has a *different* lux in excess, we'd like to meet them in-game.

Having struggled with ways to initiate diplo relations, I think this is safe.

[DeepO]

Well... I like it. If we find someone who has access to, or thinks he soon has access to a furs or incense, we know they are close. Plus, it could make it possible to piece together information of who is close to whom.

Okay, time to get this thread on top again: we still need to reply to GodKing on their proposal to send minimaps. Are we agreed that we ask them what kind of lux they have access to, and say sorry on the minimap?

Given our new situation, this might change. But I think that if we want to keep a polite image towards RPG, we should answer them soon... I propose to do it by tomorrow noon (somewhere around 12 GMT, when I get out of bed)

Hello everyone! That's some very interesting news from Godking.

[DeepO]

Aha... You might to answer him on this one... let me know if you need more info (I think I mentioned everything here, but I'm not sure).

Please look out with the roleplaying though: they slipped a few things too much, no need to do the same

DeepO

[DeepO]

Okay, I'll wait, and won't answer GK, please Meshelic, don't forget!

How about adding a "who have you contacted yet" exchange to that deal, while we know it is likely that either RP or NeuDemogyptica contacted Vox. I think it's safe to tell them that we have made contact in the game, and afterwards share that information- and i'm sure you all realize the benefits for such knowledge.

[DeepO]

Meshelic... could you tell me if you replied to the RPG team already? I can imagine you aren't able to find enough time anymore to read all the threads, which is why I'm reposting this. You might have overlooked it a few times already

DeepO

[Meshelic]

DeepO thank you so much for keeping up on this for me. You are right, real life has really plagued my involvement lately, and the little time I have had I've barely been able to skim through most threads in our forum.

I should be available much more in the coming week, for sure. But could you cover for me again? Answering GK that is.?

Thank you SO much!

[DeepO]

No problem, Mesh... I'll contact RPG (and legoland at the same time), but probably this evening. Lunch break is over

DeepO

[DeepO]

Okay, I just contacted GodKing, with a rather long message. I'll be posting it in a separate thread once I received confirmation that I can quote it...

Could all other ambassadors (except Mss for Vox, of course), contact their teams, and report here so we know who we miss?

So far, both RPG and legoland have been contacted by me.

ND message has been sent...

Since noone responded to this, I tought i might bring it up again.

When we get all minimaps, we will have a good idea on who contacted who, but it could be usefull.

[DeepO]

Alva, I think it's okay. Maybe good to include in a second e-mail, once we know which minimap we get. Now that we are sharing minimaps, any information on where the civs are with whom we haven't shared it yet is good to us. I don't mind trading other info, it this mean we will get a more complete picture of the political world.

BTW, the same thing applies: if we don't do it, there is no reason for Vox to not do it either... so it's better if we gain from it instead of them.

Oh, Next thing I'm going to ask to RPG and to legoland is what lux they hope to get / have already.
