With Voxes getting Nationalism, we can proceed with our pre-discussed Ind for Med deal with GoW. I have re-sent the proposal, omitting the clause dealing with the possibility of Vox getting Medicine.

Hello, Mater Zen!

Fortunately, Vox did not get Medicine as their free industrial tech, so we can proceed with the deal we discussed recently:

Legoland-GoW Industrialization/US trade agreement

1) Legoland agrees to provide GoW with Industrialization no later than in 800AD (Turn 196). GoW agrees to not resell/trade/gift Industrialization to any other party.

2) Legoland agrees to not build Universal Suffrage as long as GoW remains in the game (though using Universal Suffrage as a prebuild for a different construction project is allowed).

3) GoW agrees to provide Legoland with Medicine no later than in 800AD. Legoland agrees to not resell/trade/gift Medicine to any other party.

4) GoW agrees to provide Legoland with a sum of 100g to balance the beaker cost difference between Industrialization and Medicine.

5) The trade shall happen as follows: in 790AD (Turn 195), Legoland shall send Industrialization to GoW as 'accepted'. GoW shall receive it in 800AD (Turn 196) and immediately send Medicine and 100g back to Legoland as 'accepted'.

This is no longer just a draft, it's an official proposal now.

Best regards,
vondrack, on behalf of Legoland

Master Zen wasted no words, but...

Agreed.

Sad that I had to go back to the "Last 100 days" to find this thread Anyway, tentative chat scheduled with Master Zen for tomorrow night, sometime after 9:30 EST. I'll try to get more specifics in case anyone else wants to show up

[vondrack]

Zargon, have you got in touch with MZ/GoW?

[ZargonX]

Well, MZ never showed up on Thursday night like he said he would, and I haven't seen him Friday or Saturday. I'm PMing him to try again for tonight, so we'll see what happens with that...

[ZargonX]

Chatted with MZ tonight. No log, sorry, but both of us got disconnected so many times we had it spread through multiple windows

Anyway, he was decidedly vague about putting a deal together. They have a deal for Sci Meth worked out with "someone" already. He never said directly that they were going for Flight, but the fact that he was willing to discuss a deal for it seems pretty confirming. He was interested in Espionage, but wasn't sure what they could trade for it. Gold, apparently, is not something they want right now, either.

So, there you have it. Not much movement on that front. MZ said he'd take the idea of a trade back to GoW, but I doubt we'll be hearing back from them anytime soon...

[vondrack]

Hm, pretty much what we've expected then.

Oh, well... we are on our own. Just Voxes with us.

But thanks for giving it a try, Z!
