[OPD]

Gathering storm is a great name and I love them banner.

I can't wait to see how the game pans out.

Lux Invicta: well, they picked out the Ottomans as their civ almost as soon as they formed... but that probably had more to do with the UU

This is rather interesting.

Actually our choice was very much made because of the traits. The UU just happened to be a fairly good one. Our agenda is Science, followed by strong industrial economy. Therefore our agenda coincides much with legoland, roleplay and gathering.

Too bad relations between gathering of storm and lux is off on the wonrg start when gathering of storm's temporary name was "kick trip's ass" LOL

Seriously, on behalf of Lux's team we have nothing agst your team though. I personally joined the team cause I liked the banner ([Japanese accent]Go Evangelion![/Japanese Accent] ), and I liked their traits, not because I like Trip. If I become a foreign advisor, we can probably work together like US and Russia did when they were working together in many scientific research.

Trip had "Ottomans" listed in the "First Team" thread he formed as soon as he'd formed the team. I assume that everyone who joined the team, including such late arrivals as yourself, joined already knowing that the Ottomans were Trip's favored civ choice

That said, I assume you guys could have changed the team choice, but with so many people joining a team which stated that the Ottomans were their first civ choice, it would be supririsng if at least a few people who wanted to play the Ottomans joined the team for that reason

Note that we changed the name. I never seriously considered your leader's... anatomy to be a worthy enough cause to sustain a team. Although, it did attract some attention and thus served its purpose.

We welcome good relations with all teams. We will meet on the fields of battle with many at some time, surely. However we hope to share a drink in the halls of Valhalla with all who carry themselves with honour. Of course, we wish you to be there to greet us, not the other way around.

Drink in valhalla? Does this mean have you made your decision?

I hoped to share slide rules and correct each other's significant figures, but oh well, This doesn't mean we can't be good neighbors..

EDIT: This post was originally a double post, so this one actually comes after the next one.

That's good to here. We are very interested in concentrating on research and sharing technology with our neighbors, We might have a strong relations if you guys choose to become a scientific civ as well. But even if you choose non-scientific civ, we may get along just as well.

Warning! A guy named TJFreak has signed up to join both you and Legoland. Thought you might want to know.

[DeepO]

There are still a few of those groupies in our team list, last count there were 4 not authorised to enter. I'm not sure how NYE is trying to delete them, they didn't respond to PMs IIRC.

Thanks for the warning, though!

Greetings from the office of the Foreign Minister! It is good to hear that you have contacted DeepO and arranged your communications. We have never heard of the people called the Vikings, we are of Egyptian decent.
May our relations turn to friendship as the game progresses.

With all due respect to our illustrious Foreign Minister, we are not of Egyptian descent, we are the Egyptians.

I thought we were the Gathering Storm?

I know what you mean, I meant that we are (obviously) the GatheringStorm, which technically could make us a whole new nationality....but we have the skills and technology of the Egyptians....

depends on how you look at it I guess.

We're both! , ok?!?

Not entirely true. A couple did reply, but with very little or no additional information. I am somewhat at a loss in knowing what to do with them. They are unknown to all of us, so it is unlikely they would be admitted.

Where to from here? I thought I'd drop the matter.

Welcome, quantum_mechani! I wish I could offer you some 1x1 cakes, but sadly, we're out of supply right now. Would some bubbly wine be appreciated? (yeah, that's right, it's us Egyptians who first discovered the tech for champagne, not the French )

I'll contact you through PM to handle the rest of the contact between our two great nations, but could you please post here, or in another thread (as long as it is publicly accessible) that we are allowed to quote your PMs in our private forum? Otherwise there is the risk of running into legal problems on the 'poly fora...

Thank you, and see you soon,
DeepO
