3240 we bump into team Alpha Centauri


First contact:

We apologize for the late reply to your message. The reason is that we didn't have an official diplomat yet, so no one got around to answering you. From now on we hope communications will proceed smoothly though. You may send all messages to this Team AC address.

So... how's the banana harvest going? ;-)

Greetings,

Maniac

Greetings friends

Our banana harvest is bountiful, plenty for everyone. I hope there are no mind worms present in your nieghborhood.


The first order of business we would like to address will be a territory boundry.

Further disccusions will happen once both boundries are approved.

We look foward to sharing the way of the banana

Greetings oh ye juicy Banana,

Fortunately we haven't encountered any mind worms yet. Thanks for asking.
We have run into another ferocious species btw which we call "bears". I'm sad to say that all our attempts to domesticate this species have proven a miserable failure, at the cost of many hunters' lives. So in case you plan to explore the surroundings northwest of our base, be on your guard. There be bears! Have you perhaps spotted any wildlife to the east that could be potentially dangerous?

Regarding border agreements, we of Alpha Centauri are favourable to discussing these. We haven't fully explored the lands in our eastern direction yet though, so it is hard for us to make any statement about territories right now. Therefore may I suggest that we wait a while with discussing this issue until we both have access to more or less the same information? Then we can discuss as equals without getting regrets later on.

May the way of the Way and the way of the Banana be compatible,

Also we're wondering if you'd be willing to tell us the location of your capital relative to ours. Knowing that would greatly speed up when we can start border discussions. If you'd rather not tell, no problem of course.

Hello new Banana diplomat,

Re city borders, that would be desired indeed, as far as possible. To make sure achieving this is easy, how about a one-tile no-city-build zone on both our borders?

Regarding a minimap trade, we're currently discussing this. I hope to get back to you soon.

Greetings,

Maniac of Centauri

my reply based on our discussions...

Sheng-Ji,
During our diplo conversations, I understand that we might slip into character and our 'nations' may or may not have harsh words for eachother. I want you to know that if this happens, none of it is personal. To try to be clear about this I will address you as Maniac of Centauri and I will sign as "Daddy-Musa"
-Mark

now on to the game...

Greetings Maniac of Centauri,
It is my pleasure to meet you. Trust that I speak with the full authority of our Banana Republic. I trust that you do the same for the Alpha Centurians.

We look forward to a long and enduring friendship between our neighboring nations. I am sorry if we gave the impression that we wanted to draw a line in the sand and set borders. We believe it is too soon to do such a thing. The darkness still crowds both of our lands. Let's not make promises to things that we do not fully understand.

Team Banana proposes that our nations agree to respect eachothers' borders as these naturally expand through time. Team Banana understands that as our nations grow and the darkness is peeled back, there will be disputes over borders, but that as friends we can discuss and work these out in peace.

Team Banana looks to the Alpha Centurians with the hope of a long term friendship and eventually an alliance.

Team Banana would like to start building this friendship by discussing ways that we could share technologies and co-operate in the research of new tech's. What are your thoughts on this?

Back to the borders. As friends who are mutually trying to discover our world, what are your thoughts on allowing open borders to allow peeling back the darkness and starting trade?

Again Team Banana looks to you as friends. To show my joy in being assigned to work with Alpha Centuri I baked a banana walnut loaf for you to share with your people. If our friendship grows as I suspect it will, I will forward the recipe.

May the Banana protect us and bring us joy,
Daddy-Musa
