DIPLO: Legoland Comments

[Theseus]

Ahhhh... do we have a sense of what Lego's objectives are?

BTW, I don;t think I said it anywhere specifically, but I'm pretty sure Vondrack is the anon sympathizer.

[Shiber]

He's not.
Please don't post any more guesses or you may hit the target and then I won't know what to say without neither lying nor sounding suspicious

[Arrian]

Hope it isn't Zargon, I was a tad snippy with him just now.

[Theseus]

Well, Vondrack is certainly going out of his way to help.

[Arrian]

Help Vox, you mean.

No more guesses! ZIP IT!
(and for the record, it isn't )

To be honest I think this a multiple team effort, perhaps only team contacted GOW, but that don't mean there is just one team involved.

[Theseus]

No, I think Vondrack has been helping us in the public forum... he's got it disguised in the "peace" rhetoric, but he's been dropping hints and giving clues like mad!!

The June 10th bit he just laid out was perfect... I am going to use it to launch StormHawk.

[Arrian]

Oh, it's pretty clear that several teams are working against us, yes (from GoW's comments regarding tech trading).

RP & Lego for sure. ND? Don't think so.

Vondrack hint at foreigners being on his land, was just a reference to Barbs though, shouldn't read to much into it IMHO.

Don't take him on to hard either (for what vox did etc and certainly not on a personal level), he is a very stand-up guy.

Yeah, I know I'm a softy

[alva]

Did we contact or have we been contacted by Lego yet?
The chat idea was a very good one, follow up on that even if the initiative comes from us. (maybe even better)

[ManicStarSeed]

Yes check thelog.. I am entering it now...

Mss

[Arrian]

Excellent. That's what I was after all along:

1) I wanted other teams to admit they had invested in Vox, and their reason for wanting peace is so they could get a return on their investment; and

2) A frank discussion with us about what can be done about that, in light of the fact that Vox is dead meat.

Argggg. I was at work and did not realise that the mIRC I was using is not set to log. No one else here was there all the way through, except Shiber who was close, but left before I did.

The highlights of the chat are that Lego wants to help arrange peace with us and Vox.

Points.
1. Lego gives us Theology
2. Fighting between Vox and GS stops
3. We undertake not to build the Sistine
4. Vox leaves Stormia (my name for our island, not sure if someone else has used it before). They most likely settle on Legos Minor.

I told vondrack and Lego that we would most likely have certain conditions. However, I really need the log before I can recount the ones I brought up. Sir Ralph had a very good one too. Additionally, I made it clear that other members of GS may insist on additional conditions.

I will try to find a Lego block to give me the log.

One other thing I would like to put to them, we think that any presense on Stormia of forces of any other nation would be counter productive to peace negotiations continuing. ie, reign in you puppets or forget it.

[Aeson]

Maybe we could try a feeler for if the Sistine clause coupled with a like Collosus clause would be acceptable to Lego?

I don't understand why Vox would be willing to leave, AND Lego gives us Theology... when we already offered to give Vox peace if they left? Not that I'd complain, but it is kinda weird.
