Team Info and Contacts - Imperio

[ruff_hi]

not sure this thread is the right place for a sword + cat discussion. Not to mention that I'm pretty sure we don't have iron.

Reached out to X_MiTH_X again ...

Mith, not sure if you got our contact message (see below). Our email address is teamrealmsbeyond@googlemail.com and that would be the best way to contact us.


Well met Good Sir!

It is my outstanding pleasure to meet you and I hope that I find you well and good. I look forward to many years of fruitful contact between our great nations.

Ruff
Your Voice to the Realms Beyond Team

Hi,


I believe you, however, if our neighbours continue to play how they play I suspect it shouldn't be *that* difficult...

Since you have the most demogame experience here, how uncommon would an ancient era war be? If this is supposed to be a friendly game, would an early rush be appropriate?

My demogame experience amounts to one game only, and the map was very different - designed by Sirian (and thus more balanced...), and much larger. An ancient era war would have been much more difficult and much less profitable. As it turned out, nobody attempted to wage war that early. So I don't think this will help us much here...

What I noted though was that in our team, warmongers had a hard time getting heard during our discussions of future plans. As long as no consensus is reached in a team, it's always easier to continue building and researching and communicating with other teams while continuing the discussion than it is to focus on a war effort and declaring war. So my guess would be we see less wars than if this game would be played by individual players.

This is different for teams which only a few active players and a lot of lurkers. As it happened, our last war in the other game was started by our turn player without the rest of us agreeing to it, while "the rest of us" amounted to 2 or 3 players.

Our team will win in a couple of turns, and the discussion forums of the other teams will be opened then for us to read. I'll report back then how early strategy discussions in the other teams looked like.

quote from letter from Templers ...

The reason I asked about your team's diplomatic contact with Imperio is because ours is somewhat hindered by a language barrier. We speak no Spanish and they speak little English. Just like your team's contact with them, ours has been sparse too.

Do we have any spanish speakers or are we going to rely on google / bable fish?

[regoarrarr]

I speak spanish, though my vocabulary of words like "quechua" or "beakers per turn" is limited :-D

[ruff_hi]

Great - can you reach out to these guys and see if you can a) get an email address and b) start some sort of dialog?

[darrelljs]

I speak Spanish and my wife is a native speaker (if you want someone to proof read what you write). I actually thought they were doing some kind of role playing thing, but maybe they literally mean no one on Imperio speaks english.

Didn't we already have successful English communication with Imperio?

Also, my Spanish is terrible, but I can at least be confident that "quechua" is the same in all languages

Looking at the level of English exibited in their signup thread, I'd guess that Templars aren't exaggerating.

We could establish much stronger diplomatic ties if we speak with Imperio in their native language. The only caveat is that we'd have to make sure the communication goes through people who are somewhat fluent in Spanish, so we aren't back to the same misunderstandings we'd have using English.

Darrell, thanks for the offer to proofread. It will be very helpful if we do decide to communicate in Spanish.

Zeviz,

Sure, should be fun. I'll be relying mostly on my wife; I came to Spanish as a second language while she is a native speaker. Seems like pretty much everyone from that team is actually from Spain. I saw one from Pananma and one from Argentina. So I guess we should try and use idioms from Spain in our correspondence. I do have a friend from Spain who would be willing to proof anything, I'm sure.

Spain is on quite the roll...Euro Cup, Nadal, Tour de France. Let's hope we can put a stop to it .

But Fernando Alonso is having such a delightfully bad Formula 1 season

[Zeviz]

Let's send them a quick message in Spanish to open diplomatic communication before Templars do.

regoarrarr,

Can you take the initial letter? I still won't be able to do anything with this until Sunday at the earliest.

Thanks,
Darrell

[regoarrarr]

Sorry - I'm out of town till Tuesday and won't be able to either :-(

[mostly-harmless]

So lets draft up an English letter. AFAIK X_Mith replied to Ruff in English, no?
