Foreign Affairs Consulate: Gathering Storm

[Hot_Enamel]

Directly.
Probably when you sent that warrior into our cultural borders when our capital was undefended.

Indirectly.
Your capital was pretty close to us & you expanded west & north west.

There was always going to be a territory war on North Bob. ND, GoW & Lux so close together & expanding towards each other.



PS.
I am glad to read the historian agrees that the gifting of cities to avoid capture is a hostile act. Perhaps I will enjoy reading the log....(Or at least reading GS's comments about the log)

Don't worry, I know that that comment was just a way to make your runt, underdeveloped empire seem more big and bad than it really is.

We still exist and are currently the driving force in world events, ain't that something for a runt underdeveloped empire!

If you want me to say that you are masters of appeasement and deceit in order to make up for everything else, I will grant you that.

Hi UnO,

I'm responding to your post in the PTWDG General Forum.

I don't know where Theseus is. He was supposed to have contacted Aggie two days ago. Apart from him, I think I might be our only active team member left. I've spent I-dunno how many hours drafting a contract for you guys and most of my team will hardly even comment. Silence. Nada. Zilch.

So, I'll probably have to send it to you anyway - unapproved, and when it comes to ratification, well there won't be much opposition to it in GS.

Regards

Cort Haus

The question is:

Who will Trip paint as the most treacherous and villainous member of GoW...

I seem to recall this remark made to me in a chat: "There's a very special place waiting for you in hell"

Can we replace the word deceit with deception?
The world is constantly underestimating our sneakiness. I fear they underestimate the full level of our sneakiness far too often.

Just got this from Cort Haus regarding Barcelona and New Madrid:

Hi MZ,

We have the turn, and in anticipation of possible GS-GoW co-operation and friendship, can continue to hold Barcelona and New Madrid for the time being. Whilst they are being held but not defended, there is the possibility of ND taking these cities - so if you guys are saying "don't disband them yet" we have to assume that you're not asking us to hold them for your allies to take, perhaps on your behalf.

We have gunpowder and can finally see the Saltpeter. Interestingly, we were holding some near Barc (and had settlers there recently), which helps us to understand the value GoW would place on Barcelona.

Would you be interested in trading tech for Barcelona and New Madrid? We should say that New Madrid has been a buggy city on some players PC's, but not fatally on mine. All the citizens are Chinese, not Spanish. The row of heads of the chinese citizens are invisible on the city screen on my PC, but apart from that the city functions as normal.

If you were interested, we don't know what technology you may have to offer - other than chemistry in a few turn's time. We will probably research astronomy in the meantime (won't take us long) - unless we had news that might sugegst alternative paths.

Regards,

Cort.

(gimme a break as if they didn't know where the saltpeter was )

Good job Ghengis Wormtongue You have readied the enemies land for invasion... there will be no dawn for Roleplayers!

erm...

tech for cities? No. Just tell ND to take them!

[UnOrthOdOx]

Greetings Honorable Theseus,

It should interest you to know that my duties within the GoW have been expanded recently to Consul of Foreign Affairs. You have probably heard that MZ also has recently been appointed as our Emperor.

In short, this will mean that all discussions will need to be copied to the both of us if at all possible, and with any luck we will have an opportunity to speak with one another soon.

Let me know if your team desires that I should appoint an Ambassador to oversee discussions with your team, for I am aware that at least some may have hostile feelings towards myself.

Cordially,
UnOrthOdOx.

[UnOrthOdOx]

Hi UnO,

We now have Astronomy - would you be interested in a tech trade? If you're near to completing Chemistry, we would be very interested in a possible trade.

We have the turn, so if you're up for trying to do a deal this turn (we don't want to start researching something if we can trade for it), please let us know.

Many thanks,

CH

What's our status on Tech?

Man am I so lost...

[Panzer32]

Lego has astronomy too IIRC... we need a better navy so lets go shopping, and see who gives us the better price

[UnOrthOdOx]

At the very least we should tell them what not to research, though.

Do we have Chem?

I'll be digging later...

[Panzer32]

we are currently researching chem... talk to MZ for an ETA.
