Banana: Diplomacy Thread #2

[Swiss Pauli]

I don't think Banana's choice to use their GS on GA was a good long-term move, seeing as they could have had an Academy at Banopolis instead.

There is a Banana workboat just east of Something Fishy. Would be handy to buy it from them for a few coins to use it for the new city there.

Yeah that's a good idea. They can see all of our coast anyway so the scouting doesn't get them much. I wonder what a fair price would be. 25g?

[mostly-harmless]

How much does a WB cost? 25h? And we gifted them our galley. (Don't have to mention it, though).

I guess we can more easily part with 25h than with 25gold?
I would say 15-20gold.

Well we could just ask "would you consider selling us your workboat since you have knowledge of our entire coastline" without naming a price. That would be the opportunity for him to say "sure, have it for free!".

[mostly-harmless]

Yep, agree. Lets do it like that.

Hi Donovan,

Congratulations for your golden age! We hope for a happy and prosperous time for all of China.

Still no news from Imperio - rather irritating. We have sent pms to them to try to get a decision before the end of the turn. Let us know if they contact you.

We have noticed your workboat at our southern coast. We were wondering if it has noted the garrisons of Jerusalem and/or Acre on its travels? Do you still have plans for settling a couple of cities in Templar lands by the way? It would probably be safe to transport them by galley. Also, since you have a map of our coastline anyway, do you still need that workboat or would you be willing to sell it to us?

Sounds good

Email sent.

We should mention to them that we opened another round of communications with Rabbits.
Banana fronting Rabbits Feudalism could help both of them a lot.

I saw Banana log in and asked him if there was a way to see who else was logged in. He said just via civstats, but also that he would be sending us an email shortly.

I had a chat to him in game just now, and it looks like Imperio suckered him in. Whatever, we still need to keep some friends, so I told him not too worry about it too much. Will post up the chat log soon.
