Vox Trade Issues

[WarriorPoet]

I have no faith in any deals with Vox. IMHO, they have stolen IW from us.

I would almost reply with their own medecine.

Here's how it would go:

Vox, in exchange for future technology gifts and support from Lux, we request to be given communications with GS. Once communications are secured, then we shall concider our agreement secured.
Until such payment is made, however, you cannot expect such generous support from us.

They will give us comm with GS (once we get writing) and we will give them the cold shoulder, after we have explained the situation to GS and our allies.

This will be justice. We can get writing from RP, and GS no doubt will have mysticism.

Hmm... why not get Comm. with GS now (for IW), and give them Alphabet for Mysticism?

[WarriorPoet]

This may work, but only if we can arrange to get Myst for alphabet, when and only when we get Myst at the same time.

[BigFurryMonster]

Fair enough. I am going to propose that to Vox.

[WarriorPoet]

fingers crossed...

BTW, we're researching mathematics right?

[BigFurryMonster]

Yes, we are. We just spent 6 beakers in it, though. But... we tell every other civ we are researching Myst right now.

[WarriorPoet]

Hmmmm...interesting...a good strategy perhaps, will make ND think they'll have an advantage...and GoW is researching math now too...so maybe this will also help to disuade them from war, if they believe we are less threatening...

RP may be under more pressure to get a deal in with someone for their mysticism if they believe we are almost completed...

Yes, good marks to all!
