Rabitts must be kicking themselves that they spent 40 gold for the near-useless Monotheism and will be getting Math for only 10-gold more

Hi Rabbits,
we are facing a war ourselves now any minute. Imperio has ignored our cries for negotiations and has moved a sizable army near one of our core cities.
Should hostilities break out between Imperio and TeamRB, we would ask you to cancel your open border agreement with Imperio to send a clear sign, that you do not approve of their actions.

Thanks
Team RB

Every little helps. Closed border from Rabbits and Banana will hurt Imperio a bit.

I'd ask them to, and also ask PAL to at least cancel the Ivory trade to Templars and Imperio.

[sooooo]

IMO we should wait to see if a war declaration occurs before sending anything out.

email from the wabbits ...

Greetings,

Thanks for the offer. We would indeed be interested to trade Mathematics for 50 gold. We'll assemble the sum as soon as possible.

The Rabbits

should we tell them to just offer the trade when they have the money? What about future tech? I don't think we can keep selling them every tech we have for 50 gold. If they only take 2 turns to gather 50 gold, we could end up selling them 5 techs over 10 turns.

[mostly-harmless]

Its more like 12 turns for them to get 50g at their current empire.

Perhaps we should discuss this in meta-game thread, because we either ask everybody or nobody to cancel the OB with Imperio.

Proposal

Hi Rabbits,
we see you have strengthen you relation to Imperio with some very cheap tech deals and gold transfers.
To let you know: there is a very high chance that both Imperio and Templars will declare war on us in the next hours. We are therefore a bit concerned about your cooperation, especially the gold transfers to Imperio.
Team RB and Rabbits have maintained good relationships from the beginning started with our gift of archery to you in your times of need.
We would therefore ask you to cancel your deals with Imperio. We are sure we can work out a good deal for both our team's needs.

Comments?

I'd prefer to use Rabbit-Imperio deal as an argument against Imperio in our email to PAL. 4gpt will make no difference for us, but evidence that Imperio is feeding tech to rabbits should anger PAL.

[mostly-harmless]

Needless to say your behaviour is deeply annoying.
We regret that we gifted you Archery in your times of need.

May you rot in your hutches.

TRB

Obviously a draft.

It's better to be more polite:

Rabbits,

When we first met, you were in danger of being crushed by PAL's unstoppable might, so we immediately gifted you Archery, which saved your skin. Now you pay us back by allying with our enemies and closing borders to us. Is this how you show the gratitude for helping you survive to this point?

It's better to be more polite:

Especially in the case of Rabbits: Why is it better to be more polite?

I am very much in favor of marching our diplo corps to the recruitment office around the corner.

Remember how we managed to get several important tech trades from neighbors that were about to attack us? If we had been throwing insults at them at that time, we wouldn't have gotten anything from them. So never write off diplomacy.

Also, being polite is just better in general and insulting your opponents is unsportsmanlike and immature. You'd never insult your competitors during a chess tournament, or during a sports game (if I am not mistaken), so the only reason insults are acceptable in multiplayer CIV is that Internet is a rude place in general, but RB is better that that, so let's show it in our communication.
