Discussion with Master Zen of Latin Lover re the possibility of a trade for Construction with them - Kloreep and I figured we should at least find out what they would want for it and then see what Sunshine would want for it , and decide either between the two civs or neither...

quote:
Session Start: Mon Jan 19 20:54:48 2004
Session Ident: #feast
* Now talking in #feast
* Kloreep sets mode: +o Sharpe
* Kloreep sets mode: +is
-apolyton.net:@#feast- Kloreep invited MasterZen into channel
#feast.
* MasterZen has joined #feast
[MasterZen] so, what's on the menu?
[Kloreep] Hi
[Sharpe] Hi
* Kloreep sets mode: +o MasterZen
[Kloreep] opping is the first course
[Sharpe] You had mentioned about how you are doing construction
[Sharpe] as your current research project
[MasterZen] yes
[Sharpe] We are wondering if we can possibly work out a trade
for it - or at least see what you would want for it
[Sharpe] We have Literature done now
[MasterZen] do you know the costs for each?
[Sharpe] Lit is 10 tech points, Construction is 20 IIRC
[Sharpe] admittedly not exactly close in terms of tech points
[MasterZen] hmmm, if I am not mistaken we only need Const. and
Lit to pass to the next era
[Kloreep] I don't think Lit is required for era advancement
[MasterZen] I think you are right
[Sharpe] neither of the government techs are needed to advance
too
[MasterZen] how much is Chivalry?
[Sharpe] let me check
[Sharpe] Chivalry is 32 tech points
[Sharpe] on this sort of map of course
[Sharpe] Feudalism is 32 as well and Engineering is 36
[MasterZen] damn, the only thing I see which can compensate is $$
[Sharpe] hmm, gold plus perhaps some IOUs perhaps
[Sharpe] question would be how much
[MasterZen] perhaps we can work on a 32 cost tech, you guys do Engineering, that would make you owe us only 6
tech points
[Sharpe] LL still owes us 1 tech point IIRC right?
[MasterZen] which can be compensated with $$ or another IOU
[MasterZen] I don't remember but I believe so
[MasterZen] make that 5 then
[Sharpe] it would sound like a possibility
[Sharpe] just going to check for certain re that 1 tech point
* Kloreep has quit IRC (Killed (NickServ (Nick kill enforced)))
[Sharpe] yeah , the Currency trade reduced the IOU to us from 2 tech points down to 1 left
-apolyton.net:@#feast- Sharpe invited Kloreep into channel #feast.
* Kloreep has joined #feast
[Sharpe] just confirmed that there is still 1 tech point owing to Tabemono btw
[Kloreep] k
* Sharpe sets mode: +o Kloreep
[Sharpe] hmm, the 3 initial techs in the middle ages are Monotheism (36 pts) , Feudalism (32 pts) and
Engineering (36 pts)
[Sharpe] sorry Kloreep and I just chatting and figuring things out
[MasterZen] well, I shall post this idea in our forum, sounds good IMO, let's see what they think
[Sharpe] would you want gold instead of IOUs or a combination of IOUs and gold?
[Sharpe] or only IOUs?
[MasterZen] we'll have to debate that
[Sharpe] yeah
[Sharpe] usually it is 15-20 gold per tech point right?
[Sharpe] at least in our trades so far it has been that way
[MasterZen] I'll have to check the equations but IIRC it's
something along those lines
[Sharpe] k
[Sharpe] brb
* Kloreep is now known as Kloreep|XCOM
[Sharpe] hmm, we can really say that Kloreep has been taking
over by aliens...
[Sharpe] taken over
[Sharpe] by playing XCOM
[Sharpe] will post this idea in our forum too


Sounds like a trade proposal of the following:

LL trades: Feudalism (32pts) + Construction (20pts)

Tabemono trades: either Engineering or Monotheism (both 36 pts) plus Literature (10 pts) plus net 5 tech pts (6 minus the 1 point that LL still owes us from an earlier trade) or a combination of gold and IOU tech pts or only gold alone - situation to be discussed in both forums.

Nothing has been agreed upon yet for certain - in my eyes this is only a proposal... we can always back out of it by not agreeing with the IOU/gold allotment (one reason we didn't agree on that).

Finally dragged something out of LL.

First, finally catching up with MZ:

[16:34] [Kloreep] Hi
[16:34] [Kloreep] Any news of LL's next research project?
[16:35] [MasterZen] let me check right now

[16:38] [Sharpe] Hi
[16:39] * WIA has joined #feast
[16:39] [WIA] Hello..
[16:39] [Kloreep] Hi
[16:39] [Sharpe] Hi
[16:39] [Kloreep] Tabemono was wondering what LL is researching next... MZ is digging in the forum for that right now
[16:39] * Kloreep sets mode: +o WIA
[16:40] [Sharpe] as we are about to start researching our next tech this turn as well
[16:40] * WIA is getting his head around all the team DGs...
[16:40] * WIA goes digging as well
[16:51] [MasterZen] hmm, just checked the thread. I think we still have no clue what to research next. Probably Feud or Eng
[16:52] [Sharpe] hmm
[16:53] [Kloreep] We just got in to the MA
[16:53] [Kloreep] We're thinking of going Feud and wanted to check with you guys
[16:53] [MasterZen] well if you do Feud I don't think we'd do it either
[16:53] [MasterZen] probably Eng then
[16:53] [Kloreep] k
[16:54] [MasterZen] as long was we agree to a Feud-Eng trade
[16:54] [Kloreep] A Feud for Eng trade then, perhaps
[16:54] [Sharpe] sounds interesting
[16:56] [Sharpe] there is a 4 point difference between them IIRC
[16:56] [Sharpe] you don't have Lit yet ?
[16:56] [MasterZen] easily compensated with either $$ or somethign else
[16:56] [MasterZen] don't remember
[16:56] [MasterZen] I haven't opened the LL save in a loooong time
[16:57] [Sharpe] if you don't have Lit we could probably add that in and then gold to even it out ?
[16:57] [Sharpe] gold from your side I guess as Lit is 10 tech points
[16:59] [Sharpe] or a split between gold and something else
[17:00] [WIA] But the impt thing is that we can broadly agree - finer points on compensation can be arranged by those who actually look at the save...
[17:00] [Kloreep]
[17:00] [Sharpe]
[17:01] [Kloreep] Yep, Feud-Eng sounds good, though Sharpe and I aren't quite enough of a majority to agree to it on the spot
[17:01] [WIA] But don;t you guys have to decide pretty soon as you are about to finish something?
[17:02] [Sharpe] well we would only need one more for agreement I guess
[17:03] [WIA] How many in your team? We have tonnes
[17:04] * MasterZen has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
[17:04] [Sharpe] not tonnes
[17:04] [Kloreep] We have about 5 active members
[17:04] [Kloreep] Though about 3 times that on the technical list
[17:05] [Sharpe] a few extra do occasionally pop in admittedly once in a while
[17:05] [Sharpe] any issues you want to discuss with Tabemono?
[17:12] [Sharpe] sorry , suppertime here

I understand that you guys are researching Engineering, correct?

I come before you now to offer up the following trade: Literature + Feudalism in exchange for your Engineering. I believe I would be able to convince the team that it would be best for us to send Lit now as well, instead of later, and trusting your impecible record that you will follow through with the Engineering.

What say you, do we have a deal?

Greetings. We are in very worried about the troop movements in the borders of our countries. Could you clarify your intentions to us? We are open to future agreements that allow assure stability in the zone. By our part we must present excuses to step on adjacent tiles to your border a few turn past, and unfortunately we must excuse ourselves again because a warrior is near again. This behaviour is because a member has the hateful habit to open the turn, move a pair of warriors and to report what he sees, forcing us to repeat what he has done. The member already has been reprimanded and I hope that does not happen again.

At the moment we are not investigating anything and during several turns we are not going to begin any investigation but we could coordinate with you in a future. If you could wait for that time we could make this agreement, or other.

Due to MZ's multiple duties I assume the foreign relationships of the LL team, please excuse (and enjoy) my poor english

Are they asking us to explain our moves in their country? We don't have any moves in their country... As for what they could have seen... I suppose it could have been our swords mucking about in the jungle. Of course, he might have also sent this to the wrong team

I believe you're right UnO. He's probably talking about those swords.

BTW, they just admitted that they are doing no research to build up gold for upgrades. We should be verrrry careful now and get ready for a mass upgrade of our own fairly soon.

Proposed reply:
quote:
Niessuh,

I must profess a slight amount of confusion as to what you are meaning reguarding the troop movements. For I can find nowhere that we have violated your border.

Look, I don't have the time nor will I put forward the effort to dance around the subject here. You can ask MZ if you want, I just don't care much for skirting the issue.

Here you are, playing as Rome. It is no secret that you now have Legions. It is also no secret, and by your own admission, you are hording gold. Now add in the fact that you have begun to settle a little uncomfortably close to our own border, and the fact that communications have been slow to non existant between us. Don't think it hasn't escaped our attention that you have always seemed to be 'researching' what Sunshine is, and it all begins to smell awefully fishy. It's entirely possible that Sunshine has been doing your research the entire game and you've been hording gold for a LONG time.

Let's not kid anyone, it all looks like you are setting up a launching point for invasion. Be it before feudalism with legions or later with medeival infantry as the primary attacker makes little difference. Do we have troops in the area, then? You're damn right we do. Are we preparing an attack? RIIIGHT. Attacking fortified legions with horse and sword. Come now, we are not foolish.

Now then, perhaps this is all just due to the fact that true relations between our teams have never properly been set up, who knows.

We are more than happy to discuss any form of deals with you, border arrangements, to non-aggression, and are even open to the possibility of a full fledged alliance, but at this point, our intentions are to defend against the attack that seems surely comming.

Before sending that, just make sure he was talking to the right team. No need to stoke the flames if he made a stupid mistake.

If they were talking about our units, also point out that we have every right to be there as they settled their citites on top of our border essentially. Also, I would cut out the stuff about Sunshine; no need to drag them into the equation yet.

I specifically WANTED them in there, frankly. Added it after reading it a second time.

By implying that we may not trust them, it gives us a better opportunity to sign some kind of deal. If it gets back to Sunshine, we know just how close these two teams are.

Ok, just loaded up the save we received: We definately DO NOT have any units in their borders, but they have two units standing on our border line, which is where our swords are. So, if they are asking for an explanation as to why we have units on OUR OWN BORDER I think we should politely tell them to go to Hell. We need to get that blocker city built ASAP. And if they try to use their warriors to hinder us, I say damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead!

So, if they are asking for an explanation as to why we have units on OUR OWN BORDER I think we should politely tell them to go to Hell. We need to get that blocker city built ASAP. And if they try to use their warriors to hinder us, I say damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead!


And you call yourself a "Builder". Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!!

As I said, Welcome to UnO diplomacy. Skirting issues does not take place.

I'm a warbuilder. I build so that I can make the "damn-the-torpedoes" genocidal war later. Though sometimes I make war so that I can be able to build and then make genocidal war later.

Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

The message seems a little sarcastic to me, but I tend to err on the cautious side, and it did end on a good note. And they are most definitely being unreasonable; all our units are at most at the halfway point between their cities and ours. It's they who have a unit next to our borders.

I also find their excuse a little thin... if they were really all that upset over their member with the "hateful habit" they would have pulled him from the save-receiving list so he can't open it till the turn is sent. Though perhaps it's true; faking an apology for being _next to_ someone's border seems a little odd.

RE: RE: PTWDG 2: movements
All right, let's set up a true relation between our teams then

Going straight to the point, we love the nap We offer a thirty-five turns NAP ending at turn 139 (210AD) this last turn included. We and you will stay 1 tile away from our borders from now on.

Sound ok? Please, let me know your response soon.

In addition we are interested about obtaining Feudalism or Monotheism in exchange for our Engineering, but as I tell you we are not going to begin the investigation during several turns. Could you tolerate that delay?

best wishes

Very interesting. If they are serious about this NAP then they just made a mistake in letting us continue to build our infrastructure and our army toward the time when WE can control the time we want to go to war.

Their best shot at stopping us would have been to attack us now before we get truly powerful.

I would LIKE to respond now with the following:

Niessuh,

Tabemono agrees to stay at least one tile from your territory for now, but are concerned with the growing nature OF that border.

We would like to therefore set up a border arrangement that is tied to the NAP. This will go a long way to easing the anxiety of my own team and will hopefully plant the foundations for a long lasting friendship between our two nations.




From here, we can either divulge what site we want (my blocking site) or not, I'll leave that to the team.

PERSONALLY, I would put it in, but then, I'm more direct of a diplomat than some of you.

By putting it in, we clear the air, and keep forward this direct line of diplomacy that I find to be FAR more agreeable than puttering around the issue. Not that I ever got frustrated with teams for DOING that... *cough* GS *cough*

By NOT mentioning it, though, we move our settler ever closer, perhaps making it too late to become part of the border deal...

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

I like it. The only thing I would take out is "for now" in the first paragraph. Of course later on we'll want to, ahem, cross their borders, but lets not make them think about the timing of that.

And I would go ahead and put the site we want in. When I'm working out diplomacy in other democracy games I prefer to be as straightforward as possible with what I want and what I'll give for it. It builds trust and eliminates confusion.
