Deal with Lux, Presented for ratification

[DeepO]

okay, some additions. I just posted I was going to find the right thread, and what do you know, the first thread I oopen is the one... sigh... now I need to retype it again

The screenshots I would certainly demand right now, without hesitation. If Lux is going to give us their map, it shouldn't be any big deal to them if they are intending to keep their promises.

further, some more details to protect us against these known cheaters:
1. sell writing now for 150 gold. This also ratifies our contract that as long as Lux is keeping to the rules, we don't interfere. Plus, if for some reason something goes wrong, and either us or Vox is forced to take out Lux, we at least got the gold part out of it.
2. The moment we discover MM, trade it against their world map. It should be possible to trade their map if we discovered MM, at least if this is similar to SP (might need to test this). This means that they aren't able to cross us wrt the last payment, if they decide after that to try to outsmart us, they are free to feel our warriors' force.

Note that by building an embassy- any civ can see where Lux's capital is, so its only a matter of (little) time...

I really like the agreement, it maintains most of the balance (clearly in our favor, but still a balance), but we do need some guarantees:

I think we should have the right, like Vox has, to post at least one unit of our own in Lux's territory. 150 gold for writing now (do they really have that much gold?). And as you all said- a screenshot of Bob.

Another thought.

Should we inquire with ND if they are willing to donate something if we eugh take care of Lux?

(assuming words gets out they are residing near us)
This could something worth to explore.

I'd certainly be in favor of getting paid to eliminate Lux, but I'd rather not talk about this to the other teams until we've finished our current contract with Lux and have received their WM in exchange for MM.

No talk for as long as possible. Indeed, all it takes is one embassy, and if the tensions are that high on Bob maybe nobody will hold a special grudge against Lux, but the longer they can keep their city hidden the better.

BTW, one implication of this is that if any team establishes an embassy in Portia, they will see for the remainder of this game our secondary iron source, which could not have been spotted from the sea. Combine that with our other source placed on the coast, and this is not the ideal strategical position for us.

We should ask Lux for information of which embassies it has established (or have been build in their capital), I'm not sure but it's possible that older embassies always give a 21 tile map when the palace gets relocated. If so, the secret is already out, and people already know of our iron.. Please, no mention at all to the other teams!
