Nice words and a big stick.
I can see why Ted Roosevelt is one of your preferred Presidents...

[Panzer32]

OK... sending reply to adaMada.

Honestly, I've always liked Teddy, I don't understand why he isn't more popular.

America could use a Teddy right now.



That's a scary thought, everyone say hello to the 51st and 52nd states of Iraq and North Korea.

One downside.....

What happens when Roleplay contacts ND and Lux, and lets them know the GOW have claimed all of the territory above them.

Your respose is well written and DOES NOT make this claim...but RP's history has shown that they are nuts and read into our words whatever they want to hear.

I suggest that we may want to let ND & Lux know that we are making a deal which involves keeping RP from any exploration North. Warn them that RP may read into this, more than we have actually agreed.

ND may not care. Their Northern expansion cant go any further.
Unfortunately, we dont know where Lux exactly is. We dont want to have to get into a "territory claim" argument with them as well. I can almost gurantee that RP will try to do something stupid.

Well written response Panzer. I still say we should of just agreed to stop exploring and not to "support their territory claim". But that is a personal thing.

What do you think Lux's response will be when RP tells them....
GOW supports thier ownership of the lowerhalf of the continent and also the GOW is claiming all of your Northern Territory.
We did not say this but..they will try to sell it to Lux.

I think some unofficial chats are required with ND & Lux to keep them in the loop.

I cant wait to hear the RP response.

[Panzer32]

Will sent explanation replies to ND and Lux tommorrow... too late tonight...

[Donegeal]

RP is going to be so pissed....

New emailfrom Roleplay:

GF,

This whole situation is positively silly. I'll grant that Togas is
being just as silly as we thought you were being (a topic of discussion on
our boards right now), but you know as well as I do (or I think) that
the geographic placement of the various civs/teams makes a potential
strategic partnership between GoW and RP extremely valuable... it would be
simply inane to toss that out the door. We'd all have to be out of our
minds (which might not be far from the truth, but that's beside the
point ).

From Panzer's latest PM and what E_T just posted, it sounds like part
of this was just miscomunication. Apparently, some on the team were
puzzled that you would be as pissed off as you were about a deal that
wasn't even ironed out yet. That's apparently because you had the
impression that the deal WAS ironed out. I honestly don't know what happened
there because I haven't been paying any attention to the RP Team in
weeks until the past few days (being President in the C3DG had its price,
but that's gone now ). I hope we can just overlook the screw-up and
iron out a deal we can both live with and is realistic with the tech
situation as we now know it.

The other half of the problem, I'll grant you, is that Togas went
through the roof when he found your warrior south of the jungle. I gather
that we're planning to eventually give you guys our map ANYWAYS, so I
think the issue is strictly security (don't want your warrior loitering
around where our next settler might be headed).

We can always just make a deal that includes all of these things as
provisions (and haggle the deal until both sides find it acceptable, if
need be).

FYI: All of this is very unofficial, as I'm no longer FAM-equivalent
(though with my new free time, I might take the job back... we'll see)
and I haven't been looking at specifics for the PTW game in a while. I'm
just getting back into the PTW game and I'm responding to your e-mail
from the last save (since such a taunting e-mail deserves at least SOME
response ;p ).

Here are some ideas:

We could offer to normalize relations if they agree to trade us Writing the turn they discover it for Horseback Riding.

We GUARANTEE that we will not attack or hinder their settlers AND workers if they allow us to continue exploring the continent.
OR
We can trade jpg's of each other's terrain (the ctrl/alt/m function) and they can mark out which territory they lay claim too with the agreement that these jpgs are not to be traded or given to anyone else.

[Donegeal]

Damn, I don't like ET....I wish he'd go back to whatever planet he was from....

I gree that we can start to back off on RP if they give us writting and the jpg for our jpg and Horseback Riding. And I think its a good idea to tell them that the only way we are going to stop exploring south is if the give us the jpg. Promising not to attack their workers and settlers is a good idea, but at this stage of the game, going ahead and breaking that by taking out an unguarded settler would be to good to pass up...

Nice job all around on the diplomacy front guys....

GoW should stand for the Glory of Writting!

Hmm... A second thought:

[Hot_Enamel]

Our goal is to map the continent.
We will have achieved this with a jpg swap.
I see no reason why this cant happen, so it has my support.

If it happens, then lets return our warriors. We will even let roleplay decide their route so be dont travel close to any settlers.

If we can normalise relations with tech trade, then I am all for this as well....so long as it is something we want.

It is true what is written above. Lux and ND live between us. In our opinion, RP has the weakest civ/UU so it would be wise to join with them against Lux & ND.

And take out RP last

Whether politics allows this is the question.

Well done all...it looks like we may have caused a minor revolution within the RP team.

[Panzer32]

Waiting for an official reply... something tells me they are trying to decide whether to attack us or ally with us!

[Hot_Enamel]

Their lack of response has been very disappointing.

I'm hoping we have caused enough disruption within their team, that they are having a revolution, and Togas is beheaded.

[Panzer32]

we did the same thing to them, remember?

Look at the date recieved and the date sent on the posts!

[Hot_Enamel]

Perhaps it was too much to expect another Togas rant.

It makes the game much more exciting

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

I think we should take out RP early as they have proved nothing but trouble and their team does not appear as though it will ever contribute its fair weight with the rest of us.
