[Metaliturtle]

Tentative message to the Bunch:

Greetings loyal scions of the almightiest of fruits!

It is your newest friendly neighbors, Gathering Storm. We just wish to extend a kindhearted greeting to you in the hopes of strengthening bonds in peace.

As soon as possible we would like to set up some informal type of meeting to establish general boundaries for the time being so that neither of us must waste valuable resources on patrolling the other team's borders.

We will get into more specifics in the informal meeting, but until then consider this our greeting.

Respectfully submitted,
Metaliturtle,
Ambassador of Gathering Storm.

Good, but mention of borders is premature. That is something for chat or subsequent messages, normally.

I am your ambassador from the People of the Storm. notyoueither is our Minister of Foreign Affairs. Please feel free to contact either of us, however I may be more readily available so feel free to contact me whenever you feel the need.

Respectfully submitted,
Metaliturtle,
Ambassador of Gathering Storm

Agreed NYE, and we do want to explore as much as we can up there while we have the chance

We should send that over now, as it would be nice if they had it before the save

[Arrian]

I'm on board with talk much, say little.

-Arrian

[Metaliturtle]

Unless there are any objections, I'll send this out in 5-6 hours.

[Metaliturtle]

They have received our diplomacy, the only change I made was to give them my MSN messenger handle so they can contact me. I'll be logging the conversations and working closely with NYE to continue the talk much say little philosophy.

[notyoueither]

Oops. Nobody has been checking gmail.

This was received 2 days ago.

I need to ask the main question first.

When/where did we meet in game ? I did not play the last turn. I would like for all talks to be legit

I hope you understand my concern

Yours truly

Platypus Rex

lol.... I think this supports Blake's assertion that they aren't a credible threat...

Anyway, MT should probably respond with something like:

"Dear Platypus Rex, master of all things Bananalike,

Our humble scouting warrior arrived at the borders of Splitsville last turn. He was immediately besotted by the pretty yellow colour of your lands and the power of this "Great Banana" that the residents told him about.

Accordingly, we desire to learn more of your ways and the ways of the Great Banana. We extend a hand of friendship to you, asking that our two civilizations begin the process of forming a lengthy peaceful relationship.

Regards
Metaliturtle, Storm Ambassador to The Bunch"

[notyoueither]

Metaliturtle does not seem to be around at the moment, so I bashed this off to Platypus Rex.

Sorry for the delay in responding to you. Nobody checked gmail the last 2 days.

We are on the border of Splitsville. We are standing on the rice 2 1 of the town.

If you wish, you may check with snoopy to verify that our contacting you is legitimate.

Regards
nye

That's a good message. Unfortunately I had already sent a blurb in my 'style'.

Do you want to stick around and help write diplomatic material?
