Hi Darekill,

Does this mean that your security problem with GoW has been resolved? Are you still seeking a an early deal on Mot Trans, or can you now wait until Lego has it?

Regards,

Hi Cort Haus, Hi DeepO,
No need to hurry with the techs but it seems like GoW is geting more cooperative this days. If they decide to give the techs to us we'd probably accept them...

Hi Darekill,

We'll be sending you Atomic Theory next turn, as per the Espionage deal. We should point out that Electronics and Motorised Transport are not GoWs to trade. We wish to trade these to you, preferably once Lego gets them.

Regards,

Hi Cort Haus, Hi DeepO,
thanks for Atomic. We'll send you Espionage in 1240AD. I think it'll be good to get tanks as soon as Lego gets them just to be prepared if they counteratack. But we will wait till they have it.

RE: please sent the save to...

isdg@gmx.de too.

Since I'll be replaced by another player somemore people want to receive the save

I'll still be the one to contact and represent ND's diplomacy so don't need to fear a change of our currently very good relations.

Forgot this to include: I sent a very short note with the save saying that normally, Electronics would arrive next turn, and that they receive Navigation as a gift.

Here's the reply, and counter reply:

Hello Darekill,

navigation... well.. at least you can now go exploring with those brand new explorers you can build

Electronics is 4320 beakers, or 864 gold for you. But just wait until we can deliver it, normally that should be next turn, but you never know

Hello Deepo,
Thank you for Navigation our Navigators are very grateful for it. The rest of us is still in doubt if we needed it. But never mind

How much do we owe you for Electronics then?
Next turn we'll send you Espionage.
Greetings Darekill

[DeepO]

Hi Darekill,

Sorry it took a while, but here's the save. As predicted, Lego discovered Electronics, so I sent it to you. Please send us 864 in return.

Tanks should arrive in 4 turns...

Thanks Darekill!

pleasant, and smooth business as usual

DeepO

Hello,
Espionage and a little bit of gold (the exact sum we owe you of course) is now with GS.

Hi Darekill,

2 quick questions:

1. We would like to sell you Motorized Transportation next turn, for the usual 20% or 672 gold?
2. Further, and it was on oversight of us to not ask this sooner: are you interested in Radio as well? We know GoW has it, but we don't know if they are willing to sell it to you or not. At any rate, as one more party has it we'd like to give a discount. Would you buy it for 15% of the beaker price, being 720 gold?

Cheers,
DeepO

[DeepO]

Darekill,

I don't know if you saw my PM or not... included in this save is Motorized Transportation, please be so kind to pay us 672 gold in return.

Also, we've got Radio on offer. I didn't include it now, as otherwise you would not have the choice of accepting the tanks, and not accepting radio. We're hoping you will buy that as well from us. Since we do not hold the monopoly on the tech, we're offering it to you at a discount, of 720 gold. Please let us know if you're interested!

cheers,
DeepO

Great Zeri!

Please let him contact me before you play your turn... but I guess he will have plenty of time, as everybody is taking his time playing.

Hello from ND.
Thanks for the Motorized Transportation.
the gold is on it's way.
As for Radio. Well what can i say, the NDRA (Neu Demogyptische Radio Anstalt) has started to send it's Programm you can see next turn that they play wonderful arabic music. So you can't sell to us what we already have.
But you could sell us the secret of the computers. We'd be interested to learn about that. Is that possible?
Greetings

Darekill,

sorry it took a while to respond. It's a shame for radio, but understandable... we should have thought about that earlier. We were so busy with invasion plans, that diplomacy sometimes takes a lower priority.

As to Computers: yes, most certainly do we want to trade it to you. There is no point in waiting for Lego, we simply have to make sure Lego is damaged enough before they can reach computers. And pricing... well... in turn 250 (7 turns from now) we are required to pay you again for the extra lux you are providing to us. With this war, it is very unlikely we will have another tech by that time, so can we make the following 20 turns part of the payment for computers? Also, as you would be the first to get the tech (instead of after Lego), and we hold the absolute monopoly for the tech, would it be acceptable to ask for 25% of the beaker price, instead of the usual 20%? Computers is worth 6240 beakers, 25% of that comes to 1560 gold.

Another question: now that we've reached the modern age, with the increased beaker costs, the tech race will slow down. (it will on our side, we can't keep this murdering tempo anymore). Do you intend to start research at 'normal' pace again? Would you tell us what you are going for, so we don't research the same techs, and can possibly trade later on? We hear GoW is going for fission, and ourselves we're looking at minituarisation (nothing decided yet, right now we're hoarding cash for the war), would you by any chance be going for rocketry?

kind regards,
DeepO

It'll take a while to decide how exactly my response to your message will look. Please be patient..

Darekill,

can I get back to you on this one during the following week? It doesn't sound like we need to do something during this turn, and as you might imagine we've got tons of other things to think on.

And no, not all transports were empty, but we do not know yet what was lost, and how it will affect our plans...

DeepO

Hello DeepO,
I hope the transports were empty.
To our Trades. We have the following proposal. We are currently already researching Rocketry. We'll be finished in about 13 turns. So what about if you give us computers in let'S say two or three turns and we pay 600G to you now. In 13 turns you receive rocketry and give us back the 600G. So it's tech for tech. I don't know the exact beaker costs of rocketry compared to Computers but if there is a difference, we can afford it to compensate it in gold.

That leaves the upcomming Luxurydeal open. Here we'd prefer a G/T base if you don't mind. G/T is great if we research. How much? I'm sure we find an acceptable arrangement in that point too. What do you say?
Greetings
Darekill
