    I sent this to Betahound, but his PM box is full.

    quote:
    Betahound,

    The Glory of War will aquire map making next turn. Please get a deal together so that you will not be lost out in the tech trading. As I said earlier, a trade tech for gold/map/whatever instead of tech is possible.

    Thank You

        From nathan of GS. Any thoughts?


        Greetings,

        We have a clue from Trip that someone is researching Construction, but we don't really know otherwise. I think at the moment, GS is leaning in the direction of thinking Polytheism might be a good choice, if only because with your relatively low research speed, it's something you could get in a reasonable amount of time. (No offense intended; just realistic evaluation.) Also, it occurs to me that there's a chance all three Bobian civs mght neglect Polytheism since it doesn't really do anything directly, leading to a possibility of a trade without having to give up Republic.

        If we come up with any other thoughts before you play your turn, we'll let you know, but I wanted to go ahead and make sure you have our current thougts now.

        Oh, and whoever sent Horseback Riding last turn forgot to click Accept before sending it. Please don't forget with Philosophy or it will mean a one-turn delay for Republic!

        Nathan

            Sent to GoW - Panzer32.

            Hi Panzer32.

            Interesting week in the world. I noted your 'ooops' comment in the public forum thread regarding our announcement about Lux. And yes - you're right - it was a contributing factor.

            But that is behind us. Map making. My apologies again for not getting in touch with you sooner. We would like to offer 40 gold in exchange for map making. We acknowledge that it is not a great sum of gold, but the tech is becoming readily available and could be worth nothing shortly. We also promise not to trade it to GS. We had gotten wind from Lux that there was some sort of deal in the works between GoW and GS, and I can only presume it involved map making. We will not mess up that deal on you.

            Let me know if this is acceptable, and we can conclude the transaction shortly.

            I wish GoW all the best prosperity in this new era of peace we now find ourselves.

            Regards .... Beta.

              Received from Togas of RP via e-mail with the save. Now I really regret doing in Lux based partly on the previous letter from RP.

              "My turnplayer was away, so I couldn't do turn until I got back from work.


              I just have to ask why it is that Vox won't respond to any of our trade offers?
              Why treat us this way? Why make deals with Gathering Storm for Literature when
              you know that we want to also sell it to you, and that we worked tirelessly for
              hundreds of years to create this knowledge? Why not even write us back a simple
              letter saying that you'r sorry, but you decided to buy it from someone else??

              Please TALK to us at least. Even if you won't buy anything from us or trade with
              us, we'd at least like to know why we are being ignored.

              --Togas"

                Hah... response from GoW.

                RE: Map Making
                Betahound,

                Thank you for your message!

                I imagine our team would be willing to trade mapmaking for 40 gold, if you gave us your world map as well. If you cannot give world map, then the gold would be sigificantly higher. I have not consulted with my team on this, but please show it to your team and tell me what they say.

                God Bless,

                  I had PM'd Shiber thanking him for his comment in the public forum, and he asked if he could post my PM in the GS forum. I said OK. Here are the messages.

                  RE: Insightful
                  No problem.
                  I'm always happy to help our allies.

                  Btw, is it okay if I post this message to the GS forum or would you like me to keep it between us?

                  .... Shiber

                  quote:


                  Shiber - you posted this in the thread where we announced Lux's demise:

                  "I'm really sorry to see this happen, but such are the rules of the game. It's too bad though, that Vox have thrown Lux the lifeline and yet Lux was ungrateful and uncooperative and gave Vox hell in negotiations. I hate to see Lux go, but I think it's mainly their fault - you can't play several civs against each other forever, especially not when your continued existence depends on one of those civs."

                  It struck me as the most insightful comment yet made about the situation from someone who was not directly involved. We at Vox are not feeling too good about what we did, so it was helpful to see that some folks understood the issue from our perspective.

                  Thank-you. ... Beta.

                    From GoW - it would appear that this trade is definitel off. Another reason we should not have done Luz in.

                    Any ideas on a proposed response? And I guess we ask GS for map making now. sigh ....

                    more maps...
                    Betahound,

                    The Glory of War populus does not agree with the 40g + world map for map making trade. Here are some options we have for you:

                    1. 80 gold + world map for map making
                    2. 120 gold for map making
                    3. 5gpt + world map for map making
                    4. 40 gold + world map for map making, providing you give us either your next tech (that GoW does not already have), or your free tech in the next age for 40 gold.

                      I have checked the last turn - and neither GoW or Neu D have literature. This may help us. To be sure, I have checked with GS:

                      Hi nathan - GoW is making some very unreasonable demands regarding Map Making. Are you Ok with us offering them literature as part of a trade, or were there strings attached to your trade with RP.

                      RP is giving us grief about trading with you for literature by the way.

                        To Panzer32:

                        Re: more maps...
                        I'm afraid that none of your proposals are acceptable to Vox. We would like to present you with a counter-offer of 40 gold plus literature. Please let us know. Thank-you.

                          Ghengis Farb just posted this in the game save thread. Guess we find out soon enough whether that includes us.

                          "Sent to Togas, oliverfa and Dejon.

                          Yarhoo! Mapmaking for everyone!"
