	The Monkey Situation Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Figure I might as well start this poll up, just so we can have an official policy.

Monkey seems to be in dire straights and desperately needs assistance in order to stay alive (at the very least). They're requesting help from us, and we should determine how to respond, mainly in the area of techs.

	Suffering from ads?

I personally think we should help them as much as we can discretely (within limits). Giving them free techs is the best way to do that.

The longer Monkey keeps Python and CoD busy, the better. We want as little competition later on as possible, and the more they build up the stronger they get. Keep them weak by supporting Monkey.

	Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

I voted mild assistance. I don't want to take sides in their war, however, their humble request to us for help is one that we softhearted sunshine types cannot ignore.

Anything discreet we can do to help is fine by me, so long as we don't give away gold. We can gift them techs (as we won't make a profit on sales to them anyhow), just so long as they don't gift/sell those techs to others, or tell anyone how they got them.

When this poll is concluded I'll write a PM to Monkey.
