First part of the #c3cisdgfamtalks chat with CDG.
quote: [18:19] * Now talking in #c3cisdgfamtalks
[18:20] * MRex has joined #c3cisdgfamtalks
[18:20] * E_T sets mode: +o Kloreep
[18:20] [MRex] hi everyone 
[18:20] * E_T sets mode: +o MRex
[18:20] * Godking has joined #c3cisdgfamtalks
[18:20] [Kloreep] Hi
[18:20] [Godking] hello
[18:20] [E_T] I just made this room, will password in in a second
[18:20] * E_T sets mode: +o Godking
[18:20] [Godking] I hate java.
[18:21] [Godking] can I just say that.
[18:21] * E_T sets mode: +nts
[18:21] * E_T sets mode: +k Hellothere
[18:21] [MRex] heh, so do i 
[18:21] [Godking] for the record, I hate java
[18:21] [E_T] Password is Hellothere, case sensitive
[18:21] [MRex] As I said before, CDG is glad to meet the friendly Apolotonians 
[18:21] [Godking] So, what, if any, techs are you willing to trade. We have bronze.
[18:22] * Sharpe has joined #c3cisdgfamtalks
[18:22] [MRex] We have Warrior Code
[18:22] * Kloreep sets mode: +o Sharpe
[18:24] [Sharpe] Anything interesting so far guys?
[18:24] [MRex] Who is your ambassador to Elucida btw?
[18:25] [Godking] Is that an even trade you are thinking of?
[18:25] [MRex] Possibly
[18:25] [Godking] no idea. I don't follow much in the trade department.
[18:26] [E_T] As far as I had read yesterday, they were stilll setting up a contact person
[18:26] [MRex] Mind if I ask what you are researching? It would not be beneficial for us to research the same
thing if we are to become trading partners
[18:27] [Godking] this screen keep going blank on me. BRB
[18:27] [E_T] that I can't say, because of not being as involed in that game because of PTWDG involvement
[18:27] [MRex] Who is in charge of the game on poly's end?
[18:28] * Godking has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
[18:28] [E_T] I'm the minister of interior in PTWDG game and it takes all of my time, I rate about 2-3 posts per
week in the c3cisdg forum
[18:29] [E_T] Anyways, I'm starting to get unstable here, and I need to reboot, I'll be back shortly.
[18:29] [MRex] k
[18:30] [E_T] Is someone loging this? Kloreep?? Sharp??
[18:30] [Sharpe] Kloreep I think right?
[18:30] [Kloreep] I'll keep this open and can save the log later
[18:30] [Kloreep] I GG though
[18:30] [Kloreep] Sorry
[18:30] * Kloreep is now known as Kloreep|away
[18:31] [MRex] hasn't been much to log yet 
[18:31] [Sharpe] I must have bad BO , I come on and everyone leaves 
[18:32] [E_T] true, but you never know while I'm rebooting shortly,...
[18:32] [E_T] No sharp, just bad timing,,,,,
[18:32] * Godking has joined #c3cisdgfamtalks
[18:32] [MRex] welcome back
[18:32] [Godking] back, I think
[18:32] [Godking] hello.
[18:33] [E_T] when I have to get someone else to post in poly for me and my explorer starts doing funky things,
it;s time to reboot....
* Logging #c3cisdgfamtalks to 'C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\#c3cisdgfamtalks.GRNet.log'
[18:34] [Godking] Would you like me to post the idea of WC for Bronze? I dont know the trade ratios off hand,
but I am sure that minor adjustments can be made.
[18:35] [MRex] sure, atleast something would be getting started 
[18:35] [MRex] 
[18:35] [Godking] OK. I will post it tonight. If you don't mind me asking, I assume you built a curragh either
first or second. Which way did it go?
[18:35] [E_T] what I have done, in my own personal games, is take that difference and apply it as colateral for
the next tech trade, but then that's just me
[18:36] [E_T] and that all depends on the research paths,..
[18:36] [Godking] Same here, or I jsut turn it into gold.
[18:36] [MRex] I'm sure something can be worked out
[18:36] * Sharpe sets mode: +o Godking
[18:37] [MRex] May I ask how far your city(s) are away from your warrior?
[18:37] * E_T has quit IRC (Quit: rebooting, back in a few)
[18:38] [Godking] Sure, less then 20 squares.
[18:38] [Godking] I am not sure exactly.
[18:38] [MRex] lol
[18:39] [MRex] have we even played 20 turns? super warrior! 
[18:39] [Godking] I think we are on 18, but I am not sure....
[18:39] [Godking] Our warrior moves by leaps and bounds...
[18:39] [Godking] 
[18:39] [MRex] i assume do to the lack of turns we are fairly close to each other, this makes it important that
we keep up good relations. any conflict can spoil both our chances of advancing to the next round
[18:40] [Godking] We know. That is why we were so surprized to meet you so soon. Standard map with only 5
civs, you should be at least 20 squares away.
[18:41] [Sharpe] yeah, but is this a modded map?
[18:41] [Godking] Wonder how this happened....
[18:41] [Godking] no. They had 5 maps, then they looked and voted on the one they thought was the most fair.
[18:41] [MRex] the map is random, except to make sure no one starts in a ton of jungle and such...
[18:42] [MRex] well yes, they did select the random map to use
[18:43] [MRex] even if we are very close, with tight city spacing it shouldn't be too hard to deal with
[18:43] [Godking] Is any other team seafaring? I think that might explain it.
[18:43] [MRex] no, just us
[18:43] [Godking] That explains it then.
[18:44] [Godking] With only 1 seafaring civ, it didn't place your civ in the standard pattern.
[18:44] [Godking] There should still be enough room for us both, but it may be oddly shaped is all.
[18:45] [MRex] other civs can always be cleared to make more room 
[18:45] [MRex] i mean 3rd parties of course 
[18:45] [Godking] What - your not volunteering.... 
[18:46] [Sharpe] GK - WE aren't volunteering either 
[18:46] [Godking] You have a curragh right? Did it go north or south?
[18:47] [Godking] Just currious, as I would like to know just how big our island is.
[18:47] [Sharpe] does CDG have any preferences as to who they would prefer eliminated? 
[18:48] [MRex] we did build a curragh, it is nearby your warrior
[18:48] [MRex] well, not quite, but in the vincinity
[18:48] [MRex] nah, we're non discriminatory conquerers 
[18:48] [MRex] you?
[18:49] [Godking] OK. I am 1 turn out of date with my latest save.
[18:49] [MRex] what have you been able to build so far?
[18:49] [Godking] No. Our first city is not on the water, but our second one will be.
[18:49] [Godking] We are prebuilding for a grainary
[18:49] [MRex] so you can expand west?
[18:49] [Sharpe] no choices yet - although given their performance in the PTWISDG , I wonder if GWT should be
targeted - too bad GCA isn't in our game as everyone would target them 
[18:50] [MRex] yeah, they wouldn't last long 
[18:50] [Sharpe] personal opinion btw not a team choice
[18:50] [MRex] me too, i would rather kill them than anyone else, but that is just me
[18:51] [Godking] I think we might be able to work a westward expansion out. We need some room to our south
though, so we may be getting a little close to you, but not by much more than 1/2 way.
[18:51] [MRex] GWT is giving you some grief in the other idg?
[18:52] [Godking] Of course.
[18:52] [MRex] i don't know much about the brazilians
[18:52] [Sharpe] and GCA is still being a royal pain even after their defeat in our war of course 
[18:52] [Godking] We are going through major discussions in the other game about our research path.
[18:53] [MRex] whatever leads to nukes is my favorite option 
[18:53] [Godking] 
[18:53] [Sharpe] frankly our first nuke on Poly in PTWDG should be named "Die Lucky Die!" 
[18:54] [Godking] Die, Lucky Dice
[18:54] [Godking] more likely.... gotta be some lucky dice roles.....
[18:54] [MRex] what ways can you expand (preferably not towards us)?
[18:55] [Godking] We can go a little to the north. Our westward exploration is not very thurough yet, but is
showing prommise. Our south has you.
[18:55] [Sharpe] and you?
[18:56] [MRex] so you are basically north of where your warrior is?
[18:56] [Godking] North and a little west, but mostly north.
[18:56] [Godking] How is your south and east?
[18:56] [MRex] yeah, we are south of you
[18:56] [MRex] bad and worse 
[18:57] [Sharpe] you want bad - I started a C3C game and had 4 volcanoes near my capital 
[18:57] [Godking] Ouch.
[18:57] [MRex] basically, we have to expand north/west to get anywhere
[18:58] [Godking] We need to go a little south, but not to close. I think we will be ok with tight spacing.
[18:58] [Godking] It looks like we have the room to make it work
[18:59] * E_T has joined #c3cisdgfamtalks
[18:59] [Godking] West shouldn't be a problem.
[18:59] [MRex] yep, it should work fine
[18:59] [E_T] back, but have to go AFK for a bit
[18:59] * E_T is now known as E_T_AFK
[18:59] [MRex] may i ask what you are researching?
[18:59] [Godking] K
[19:00] [MRex] it wouldn't be beneficial to go on the same path...
[19:00] [Godking] Are you researching the philosophy path?
[19:00] [Sharpe] agreed, except I can't seem to find any thread on our research, can anyone else?
[19:00] [Godking] We are debating it for our next, along with Iron to find those tiles before you do.
[19:01] [MRex] we have a stickied screenshot thread with a dozen shots updated turnly. works wonders 
[19:01] [E_T_AFK] IIRC, that is still be be decided, because of not being finished with current research, but
then I could be confusing DG's....
[19:02] [MRex] so you are doing IW?
[19:02] [Godking] We do a new thread with each turn, and separate threads for each office (ie- city planning)
[19:02] * E_T_AFK is in TOO many Demogames....
[19:02] [MRex] amen to that, i'm in 5 at last count 
[19:03] [Godking] don't know yet. We are thinking that we have the best chance for philoso if you didn't go
that route first thing. Thus my question. I hate to have us both working on writing at the same time.
[19:03] [Godking] We will have to decide soon also.
[19:03] * Kloreep|away is now known as Kloreep
[19:04] [MRex] we can go for philo if you aren't
[19:04] [Godking] what are you resarching now?
[19:04] [MRex] are we the only 2 civs with alpha to start?
[19:04] [Kloreep] Yep
[19:04] [Godking] yep
[19:04] [MRex] hmm
[19:05] [MRex] maybe one of us could get col while the other does philo to get republic together 
[19:05] [Godking] That is an idea.....
[19:06] [Kloreep] That would be great if someone could research CoL fast enough
[19:06] [MRex] don't think anyone else will be going for it, they realize one of us should get it
[19:06] [Godking] how far into writing are you?
[19:06] [MRex] that is what we first went for
[19:06] [Godking] That is our idea. We are the only two real candidates.
[19:07] [MRex] how many turns away from it are you?
[19:07] [Godking] How soon could you trade it? We have not started yet, but could probably get writing in about
35-40
[19:08] [MRex] we can get it sooner than that. you're getting pottery then?
[19:08] [MRex] not sure exactly, but under 30 turns til we have it
[19:08] [Godking] Ya. We kinda gave that away with the paper we published.
[19:08] [E_T_AFK] Remember, we have NO people who are in a position to make these kind of desicions here, so
what we talk about a long these lines is not official in any way shape or form
[19:09] [MRex] yeah, i can't make decisions without my team voting on it either
[19:09] [Godking] Ya, thanks for re-iterating that E_T. This is jsut a friendly chat. We will post a summary
for discussion however.
[19:11] [MRex] right now it seem that we can work with a straight up trade with no left over beakers.
[19:11] [E_T_AFK] MRex, are you in any other Demogames or MP/PBEM games currently?
[19:11] [MRex] yeah, in 4 other demogames atm
[19:11] [Kloreep] Yikes
[19:12] [Kloreep] Actualyl, I'm in 4 others too 
[19:12] [Godking] OK. If we do this, we gotta have some super in place aliances. This is the raw proposal - we
work together, trading techs, so that we both have COL before getting philosophy, and then Republic is the
free tech that we share between us.
[19:12] [E_T_AFK] did you emigrate to another team in the PTW ISDG or just leave it all total when GCA took you
all out?
[19:12] [MRex] if you could research IW after you get pottery, then we can do WC-Writing for Pott-BW-IW. just an
idea
[19:12] [MRex] i'm not on any team atm
[19:12] [E_T_AFK] ah
[19:13] [MRex] cfc has given me access to their private forum to follow the game though
[19:13] [Godking] Nice.
[19:14] [Sharpe] oh so you know about the major GWT-CGN war then?
[19:14] [MRex] yeah
[19:15] [MRex] is your start suited to rapid science early on?
[19:15] [E_T_AFK] Yah, we figure that CGN is not long for this world and that APO will have to "rescue" them ala
CDG and GWT with GCA (without the unit warps)
[19:17] * E_T_AFK is now known as E_T_making_coffee
[19:17] [Godking] Was the unit warp disapproved? I never did find out about much on that topic?
[19:17] [MRex] there is a gazillion posts on it, never went through them all
[19:18] [MRex] Any ideas for trade you guys have?
[19:19] [E_T_making_coffee] well, IIRC, GWT still wants a limited ability to do that, but Poly is standing firm
[19:19] [E_T_making_coffee] but we are still discussing it
[19:19] [E_T_making_coffee] atleast they are talking about something
[19:20] [E_T_making_coffee] which is more than they have talked to us this whole game, IIRC
[19:20] * Kloreep is now known as Kloreep|away
[19:20] [E_T_making_coffee] which is not good when your dealing with a Diplo heavy team, makes them suspicious
of your motives...
[19:20] [Godking] Yep. Silent people, them GWT'ers.
[19:21] * Louis_XXIV has joined #c3cisdgfamtalks

[19:22] [Godking] Greetings or foreign one.
[19:22] [Godking] oops... should be oh not or
[19:22] [Sharpe] calling me semiactive is an exageration - so far I have only voted in polls 
[19:23] [Godking] I think I saw a post of yours. Just one though.

Summary:
Did a little explaining of our governments.
I brought up again the Free Republic idea that GK posted above because it really caught my eye (and it's good to talk about cooperative ideas like this, makes them believe that you believe in the value of cooperation).
They asked that we not scout any further, but we avoided and defused their request.
They asked to do the tech trade next turn. We told them we needed to poll first.
quote:
excellent 
kane77077> sorry - I'm ignorant - is "consul" a leader?
Togas> So you guys found Grog?
Louis_XXIV> Yeah, they have 3 consuls who rule
MRex> indeed we did
Togas> We have a tripartate government with a sort of Roman like senate system
MRex> didn't think we would find someone so early
kane77077> Actually, I think Grog found us!
MRex> yep
E_T_making_coffee> Togas, why don't we first exchange our government makeups and structure to help lay common ground
Togas> What 17 turns into the game?
* Godking has joined #c3cisdgfamtalks
Godking> hello
MRex> Sure, out gov is made up of a series of ministers and a president. I'm the President, Kane is VP, Louis is foreign affairs minister, and manya is domestic minister.
MRex> *our
Togas> afk a sec ... phone
E_T_making_coffee> keep talking, he'll see it
Godking> so, what did I miss with this lousy connection
E_T_making_coffee> how much power do the different ministers have over their areas of particular perview?
E_T_making_coffee> Togas got here a couple minutes ago
E_T_making_coffee> and a few more CDG'ers...
MRex> domestic runs our workers, cities, build quenes, sliders, and research
MRex> foreign runs all foreign affairs and issues of trade
Godking> E_T, can you open a private window please?
MRex> militaristic controls all military/exploration units
MRex> i play the turns, and fill in when we need an order we don't have
MRex> and kane backs me up
Godking> I hate java
E_T_making_coffee> our ministers are more advisory
kane77077> so ALL decisions are made by the consuls?
E_T_making_coffee> and help set policy
Kloreep|inandout> The people and the consuls
kane77077> How often are Consul elections held?
Godking> Yep. As City Planner, IM, etc, I give advice, but that is all.
E_T_making_coffee> well, they are team desisions, but the Consuls have the final say, especailly when there is an issue that is too close to call
Kloreep|inandout> One seat is up for election each month
E_T_making_coffee> 3 months term
MRex> generally we all work together too, but that is the specific divisions
Togas> back
kane77077> who are the current consuls?
MRex> your team is much bigger than ours as well
E_T_making_coffee> and when an issue comes up and there isn;t time for full debate/polls and such, the consuls make the call as to what needs to be done, to help keep the game moving as fast as possible
Togas> Current Consuls: Myself, conmcb25, OctavianX
Godking> Togas is the most active consul. Nonmcb25 and OctavianX are the other two.
MRex> do you have msn messenger? that is the easiest way to contact me on the fly
kane77077> Was that the government structure for the PTW ISDG?
Louis_XXIV> Yep
Togas> It's the same government structure we used in the first ISDG game
Togas> Once we get an ambassador picked (Which is Beta's job ... he's our Foreign Affairs Minister) we'll have to hook him up with your MSN info
E_T_making_coffee> it is one reason that Poly has mostly had a very fast turn turnaround in that game
Louis_XXIV> keep pushing my luck with my messed up irc 
MRex> As I said before, it is very important in a 5 player game that wars are avoided if at all possible. The first two teams to go to war might just be the two not to advance.
MRex> We think it is in the best interests of both of us to maintain an agreeable relationship.
Togas> good points
MRex> If we are the only 2 on our island, and one of us is killed off by the other, then when we find the other continent that civ will be hopelessly behind.
Togas> ok, i'm reviewing this idea of getting republic for free
Togas> this is a pretty good idea
MRex> it is appealing
Togas> the only thing is that the team doing CoL is going to have to have the higher commerce, and the team doing Philo is probably going to have to slow down
Togas> but you pull that off ... Republic for free. That's quite a bonus
Godking> Or reasearch something else prior to philosophy.
MRex> shouldn't take that much longer, and the team slowing down can give the other some of the extra gold they are generating...
Togas> maybe something small ... mysticism or Wheel or whatnot
Godking> Ya. Somethign that looses 5-10 turns to balance things out.
Togas> but the idea that we share the spoils of Philosophy makes this a win-win sort of thing. Where we don't have to try to undercut each other
MRex> exactly
Togas> I like it
Louis_XXIV> Won't we have to worry about the other continent beating us?
Togas> they know we have alphabet
MRex> us and poly are the only 2 civs to start with alphabet. i think we can pull this off...
Louis_XXIV> Its worth a try
Togas> I'm going to promote this idea to my team. See how the response is
MRex> sure
E_T_making_coffee> depends on their growth and trade balance
* E_T_making_coffee is now known as E_T_outside_smoking
MRex> before we get to that point however, writing would need to be gifted. the idea i had was pottery/IW/BW for WC/writing
Togas> I'll have to check the #s on that.
MRex> go ahead, but it turns out 11-11
Togas> 
* E_T_outside_smoking has quit IRC (Quit: )
MRex> if we may request one thing, can your warrior not advance further east as a sign of goodwill? nothing there besides us anyway...
Togas> I think we want to continue to get a look at the shoreline, though
* E_T has joined #c3cisdgfamtalks
MRex> there isn't much more shoreline going east, you would have to backtrack anyway
Togas> I understand your reluctance, but I don't think I can promise anything right now
Togas> Nothing against you guys, but we did have a similar situation in the previous game.
* E_T is now known as E_T_outside_smoking
Godking> We will want to get a peek at just how the land goes.
Louis_XXIV> Its going to be kind of disapointing, as far as strange new lands go 
Togas> I understand 
MRex> very well. it would be appreciated if you stick to hugging the coast them, if that is what you are after
MRex> *then
