Let them bleed each other out

[Addled Platypus]

no response from Vox....

Will send a letter of concern shortly

[Daddy-O]

Maybe they have been beaten into submission already.

[Addled Platypus]

I was thinking of that too

just want to fish for information

[fed1943]

Vox asked if we are still wanting to help.

Best regards,

I think this depends on what we want to do with AC/GS. P'Rex seemed to want to encourage Vox to keep up the fight. Where do we stand with GS? Did we ever actually agree to the grand 3 party tech trade thingy? I don't think so. AC and GS did not want to freely gift techs between our 3 nations. That non-signed agreement included the "no help to Vox" clause, and we have yet to actually trade with GS.

So, what does Vox offer? Can we get iron, gold, techs from Vox? Or do we simple anger the soon to be aggressive GS?

The way I see things at this point:
* AC is our long term ally. We should grow this relationship.
* GS is only talking with us to put us at ease until they attack us on a later date. This is good because we can't fight them now.
* Vox - what do they have to offer us? What do they need? How dire is their situation? Is it to the point that they need to send a settler & a defensive unit across our lands and hide from GS?
* AC's & GS' reluctance to sign the Tech Trade Treaty that unified our efforts to secure this continent while freely exchanging techs has led me to believe that we need another friend in this world. Vox MIGHT be that friend. I do not believe that GS will be a long term friend of the banana.

* AC is our long term ally. We should grow this relationship...lets concentrate here

lets end the headache of balalncing three way tech trades. It seems to be going no where real fast

The only way I see in helping Vox is in unit gifts

GS is aways off in the map....for now

re: AC
I am in complete agreement.

re: 3T
I agree. It was a bold move - maybe too bold and that is what got us bogged down on the diplo side. Maybe when things are stronger with AC we could try something between the 2 of us (AC & Banana).

re: Vox
Unit gifts? Do we have units of our own? Wouldn't the original nationality of those units be obvious like in civ3? Isn't gold a better choice? What do we get out of it?

[Addled Platypus]

No unit gifts right away, good question on the nationality

gold is also good, but when we have it

[Wise Ass]

Do we have a good enough relationship, and do we trust AC enough to suggest that maybe the three team alliance should be us AC and Vox? Whould AC send this straight to GS and screw us?

I think we should begin talking with AC about our relationship and test their faith in GS by suggesting that GS is what is holding us back from a tech agreement, and we two should go after a tech agreement with no Vox restrictions, leaving the treaty to be amendable to include other nations.

Hi their Platapus, With the successful conclusion of the first round of tech trades I've been asked by my team to return as Chief diplomat after several months of lurking. I've accepted and am looking to get in better touch with the players in Banana and GS. I see your ICQ is listed a '63' I didn't know they got that short. Well I'm 36404290 and requested authorization, please authorize me or if you prefer I have Yahoo and AIM accounts, both can be found on my profile. I would like to get in some chats at some point to discuss the next tech trade round.

Per the the TTT I'm Informing you of the trade conducted between Strom and Alpha Centauri as they were informed of our trades, GS received Iron Working in exchange for Masonry and Polytheism. We are now researching Monotheism in hopes of obtaining Judaism, which will likely be followed by Sailing and then Literature. If we can arrange something more beneficial this could all be changed. I believe Strom is working on Math and will finish it soon after which they plan to go for Construction. I'm not sure ware Banana interests and efforts are currently directed.

now with this info, what is our course

[fed1943]

Tech trades is the way,IMHO.

Best regards,

[Daddy-O]

Who sent this to P'Rex? Vox or AC? I didn't think the 3T was ever signed.

Wait a minute, I thought that Vox and GS were at war, did I miss something?
