ND answer on the CoL offer.

Dear Sir Ralph,
it’s me again. I thought about your offer of Code of Law. What do you think of this deal? Now, you gift us the Code of Law, and when we research Literature (should be in a few turns) we gift you this for totaly free. I know that your people doesn’t know if they can trust us, but well, this is a great opportunity to develope the friendship between our nations ( I spoke about this in my last letter).

Sincerely
Murkel

message to ND (not accepting literature, asking if something else can be arranged)

Greetings Murkel,

I hope all is well with your formal ambassador Picahula?
I pray the Gods each day he has not fallen into the hands of those ill minded barbarians, or even worsen those devilish Luxians.

Since time is somewhat of the urgence I will come to the matter right away.

Although your offer is very much appreciated, I regret to have to tell you that it is not really the deal we are looking for. We have news of travelers who are teaching us these very things you are talking about.
Therefore I have to bother you again, and ask you whether your people are willing to offer something different for our discovery?

As to the matter of language, it is a bit strange isn’t it? Our languages are very similar, both in-game and in real life (I'm from Antwerp, Belgium). Yet the difference is too big for the both of us to use our mother tongue.
However we do have someone who has mastered your language and is able to converse to all of us using some Anglo-Saxon version.

So if you feel uncertain about anything, feel free to contact Sir Ralph. But he is a busy men, so we decided that 'normal' contact should go through me.

I alwayss send these messages through PM to both you and Borc, If you don't log on to Apolyton often (or any other reason), we could arrange for future communications to done by E-mail.

My friend, I see my dinner is ready and therefore I have to leave now, it has been a long day and my stomach is rumbling loudly.

I hope to hear from you soon, until then goodbye and may your journey be prosperous and safe.

Alva of Gathering storm,

Shert message from ND regarding CoL;

I was asking if they could offer anything else for CoL:

Murkel;

Then we wouldn't have any other Tech to trade.
The only offer I could give u so far is gold. We could give u 5g/per round without getting in minus.

To Darekill, "get to the MA" proposal:

Respected Darekill of Neu Demoegyptica.

I give your emperor greetings from the Grand Poobah of the Gathering Storm. I would like to present you an offer for tech trade. The GS will soon posses all the techs neccessary to move into the next age, and we want to offer you these techs. I am referring to the following advancements: Republic, Currency and Construction. We're offering these three techs in one deal, which will of course grant you a discount, in comparison to a purchase of only one of two of these techs.
If you're interested, please reply via a PM, and we'll give you an offer.

Cordially
Zeit, Chief Diplomat of the Gathering Storm.

[zeit]

Thier reply:

Dear Zeit,
did you know that your name is the german word for time?
Time is the one thing i lack a bit these days. That is why i respond to your mail so late.

We are currently researching currency for ourselfs and we have already found sources for the other techs you are trying to sell us. Some of them are looking for our currency. I'm sure you understand that we can not trade this time. But as soon as you have some medieval Techs we are very interested in sharing techs with you.

It is very kind of you to think about selling us these stuff and we do appreciate it but as i mentioned before we are not interested this time.

Greetings Darekill (Governor of Neu Demogyptica)

To DareKill, about Feudalism:

Honorable DareKill of NeuDemoEgyptica

The Gathering Storm's wisemen are currently on a new and advanced technology that would change the warfare is carried out- This technology "Feudalism" will also be for sale to those who wish to purchase it.

We would like to negotiate a price for the tech, so that we both enjoy the benefits of the trade when the tech has been discovered.

If you're interested in acquiring the tech from us, please let me know.

Kind Regards
Zeit, Chief Diplomat of the Gathering Storm.

[zeit]

His reply(!):

Sorry to reply that late, we are indeed interested. what would be a price that you would be able to acept for this Technology.

Maybe we can throw in monotheism if you do not have that already.

Geetings Darekill Governor of Neu Demogyptica.

[zeit]

Offering our price:

Darekill, Honorable Governor of Neu Demogytica

I'm glad to see you're interested. Since we already have Monoheism, your payment will be in gold. For all who are intrested, we're offering this tech for a fixed price of 200 gold in one payment, or 12gpt over 20 turns, which will be paid upon delivery. Note that 200 gold is less than 30% of the beaker cost of this tech.
Also note that this tech comes with a 7-turn non disclosure agreement, meaning that your nation cannot trade this tech to anyone 7 turns from the time of delivery.
As for the ETA: between 8-10 turns, depending on the commerce percentage going to research- according to other sources, that is well before anyone else working on the tech finishes his work.

Please let me know if you're interested.

Zeit, Chief Diplomat of the Gathering Storm

a reply:

You have choosen a "Zeit" to ask, where we are in a kind of a crisis here in ND. I'm no longer Governor of ND that young upstart Mav_Son has taken over. So i can not answer your request as official and quick as i wanted to.

I think there is still a good chance that we will have a deal here but it'll take a little more "Zeit" till i can answer definitely

Hello Alva,

i'm Darekill ex-governor from ND.

Zeit has told me that you would like to sell Feudalism for 200 bucks at once when it is researched.

Well to put it short we'll pay that sum.

I hope that the war against the dreaded Voxians goes well but since i've seen that you are quite a power on estonia i have no doubt that you can handle them.

Please let me know if we have a deal and please understand that things go slow sometimes in our young republic.

With best wishes
Darekill

Hello Darekill,

Since we have entered our Golden Age, we will be able to get feudalism sooner then expected, how is that for some good news.


Feudalism will be delivered in two to three turns, as to the payment, we agree to the 200 gold (or if you prefer, a 12GPT).
Note that this comes with a 10 turn NDA. The reason being, we want to keep it out of Voxian hands, for as long as possible, which I'm sure you will understand.

Hope to hear from you soon,
Honorable greetings,
alva of Gathering Storm,

message recieved from ND

Hello from Neu Demogyptica.
You will receive the payment for Feudalism in two Turns just send it then to us. We understand that you do not like to see it in the Hands of your enemies so soon, so the ten turns are absolutely aceptable.

Picahulu is gone so it is better you contact Mav_son , borc, zerialienguru or me directly since we are the responsible gouvernment right now with mav_son as governor and the rest of us as ministers the e-mail adresses can be found abouve since i forwardet this message to them.
Greetings Darekill

mail from Dare-Kill

Dear Alva,
my people are mad at me. I was sure to act in the best of interest for ND to buy Feudalism since we need it but they don't care. They are stubborn burocrats. Especialy the person that claims to be governor now. This Mav_Son is an upstart who did not care or is not willing to accept the deeds i have done for ND. I think i did a good job as governor but most of ND does not think so, please accept my apologies i'm really embarased that this did happen.
Your friend,
Darekill.

Response to Darekill,

Hello,
I don't know if this message will reach, as as you will know our peacefull nation has been under attack for some time now and we have lost a couple of messengers already.

No problem Darekill, things like this happen.
I certainly hope this will not get you into any trouble.
I do think your people do well to reconsider buying it though, it seems we will all face some challenge in one form or another pretty soon.
It is called the dark-ages for some reason .

I certainlly hope to see you soon, and may your rulers be lenient towards you.

From someone who thinks you have done a marvelouse job so far,
greetings,
Alain,
