Three-way Trade Negotiations

[Arrian]

Have we gotten anything on this since Krill sent our note?

[Krill]

just an acknowledgemet from Nana. Nothing from AC. Nana said they were just going to wait until we signed the deal...which makes me think that Nana expect all of the amendments they made will be accepted. Which they won't, so the agreement won;t be signed...

Decisions, decisions...

OK, the choices are this:
one option as I see it is this: Talk with AC and thrash out a deal between us two, and then ask Nana after AC and ourselves have both agreed to the rules. Tell Nana they can take it or leave it.

Pros: Simpler to do. AC know we aren't going to be tech laggards, someone they can trade with. They know we won't step in if they attack Nana as per previous agreement.

Con: Nana may just ignore that agreement and try to help Vox if they find away to do that and benefit themsleves. I suppose AC could consider siding with Nana agiasnt us. Doubt that will happen though, so much easier to just kill Nana and hammer out a very simple border treaty with us...

Krill,

Apologies in advance...

Can you give me a summary of the proposals? For some reason, I can't bring myself to read up on it myself. My brain is full today. I'm having a severe bout of "TLDR" syndrome.

I didn't know which thread to put Yang's email in as it had both 3-way material and GS/AC material. Check it out here.

Proposed message to Acen and Nana re final terms of the treaty.

Greetings to ACen and Banana

From prior messages and chats, we at Gathering Storm see these as the fianl terms of an agreement that would be acceptable to all of us. Gathering Storm is prepared to sign this deal as it is. Please let us know if these terms are acceptable to each of you and we may all proceed to ratify the treaty.

Final
1. technology trades will be based on beakers with equality being the goal.
2. each of the three civs agrees not to retrade any technology acquired in trade from one of the three; without prior agreement of the researching nation.
3. trades arranged are kept even if a tech to be traded for is acquired by other means.
4. each of the three teams agrees to an embargo on the team known as Vox. Technology will never be traded with Vox and borders with them will remain closed forever.
5. tech trade arrangements among member nations will be common knowledge to member nations - ie. when a trade deal is finalized all 3 members will be notified even if only 2 parties are involved in the trade.

Regards
Gathering Storm

This incorporates Nana wording for point 1 and their point 5. It uses ACen's wording for point 2. Everyone gets something and all should be happy.

Sent to both with a couple brush ups (typo and civ names).

No responses yet, to any of the messages (this one to both and the reply to ACen last message). We are not the only ones who can be accused of glacial diplomacy in this one.
