I would have to look at what exactly the formula is but my guesstamate is that the power graph gets its info from a combination of inputs and military is only one.

Also I feel it is relative in that it compares to all other factions.

Boils down to an outline of an outline.

Will you be on-line later on this evening (Eastern US time) in about 4 hours?

I may need to discuss something with you and would like your input.

I have to log off now for a few hours, but I will log on in about three to four hours from now.

I'm sorry, I have to get up in 7 hours again and have an appointment shortly after, it's night here atm btw.
In case you need to discuss something urgently, I suggest checking if Mart or Herc are online. I won't be for the next 12 hours.

On a more official tone, I can say that the Corporations' proposal for a pact has been declined due to strategic reasons. Tech trading is currently under discussion among the Angels. I know for sure that the Angels, if the majority agrees to, can trade one tech for sure.

About Pact, I would say something like:

The political status of the Data Angels presently puts entering any Pact arrangements with other factions as not possible. For this reason we are sorry to inform you that we cannot accept your proposal. Please note though that we very much appreciate your gesture and respect towards Data Angels by offering the Pact.

something like that. Should possibly make saying "no" quite pleasant for them

We'd need some clarification in turn. Am I correct in assuming that we need to formally send Ecol Eng, pre-accepted, to the Gaians this turn. Then, do we also send it to you, the Angels, or do you get it from the Gaians in exchange for delivering Cyberethics to them and us? I'll be asking the same from the Gaians soon as well.

Received this from Mead (Morgans):

quote:
Geo

I would like to know your thoughts on the following:

Please consider a 10 year Pact where we would:



Exchange all our tech for all your tech;

your world map for our world map;

all your commlinks for all our commlinks;

your promise not to share (sell, trade, gift, etc.) tech, world map, and/or commlink received from us with anyone else for 4 years in exchange with our promise not to share (sell, trade, gift, etc.) any tech, worldmap, and/or commlink received from you with anyone else for 4 years; and

Your promise to vote for us in election for governor when we ask and your promise to vote for World Trade pact when we ask.

Your promise to not engage in any hostile action against us, including probe actions, in return for our promise not to engaged in any hostile action against you, including probe actions, for ten years.

Your promise not to send any ships/units within 6 spaces of Morgan cities/bases in return for our promise not to send any ships within 6 spaces of DA cities/bases, without prior notice and consent. Consent will not be unreasonably withheld (i.e. freedom of navigation through straights, safe harbor for damaged/units in need of refuge).



Please note that this is not a formal offer. It is something that I am considering. If both our factions find this acceptable then we could perhaps make it happen this next turn.

Mead


In my acknowledgment of receiving this message, I asked to Mead if this is an all or nothing package the Corporation is considering.

Guess being pacted to the Morgans is only worthwhile for if we choose to vote for them on the Plan Gov thing. Personally, that's my only difficult point. Global Trade Pact, tech exchange, perhaps even map info might be worthwhile for we're getting more out of that on average.

I can even see a case in which Yang is bidding for our votes!

How's the opinion on this?

Don't like it one bit myself. While we would benefit from both of those things I think Morgan would more.

1. They get infiltration on us but us not on them.
2. As governor they get extra trade bonuses.
3. Those translate into ever bigger bonuses by the trade council vote.

Just don't like it at this point.

You're right. It does a lot of good for both of us.

One question tho: Is this an all or nothing package the Corporation is considering, or are parts of it possible?

I was thinking all or nothing.

quote:
Also, in case this temporary pact goes through, who will break it? IOW, who's diplomatic trust will decrease towards the AI factions?


I hadn't thought about that. We could leave it as the Pact continues on a year to year basis after the 10 year period until one side wants to end it. Then the side that wants to end it would terminate the Pact.

That seems the easiest way to do it. Otherwise, the fairest way would be to choose some well know random event (50/50) that will occur in the future such as will the first number drawn of a specific major lottery, on a specific day, will be even or odd.

For this reason we are sorry to inform you that we cannot accept your proposal. Please note though that we very much appreciate your gesture and respect towards Data Angels by offering the Pact.

Can you elaborate on the political status?

If we can't do the Pact, what sort of trading would you like to do?

Although I prefer the idea of the pact because it doubles commerce income, I am open to suggestions.

From Chaos Theory - Gaians
quote:
We had some communications problems with the Spartans. As a result, I was holding off on downloading the turn to allow more time to sort them out.

Basically, the Spartans wanted confirmation regarding a potential trade for Ecological Engineering. I left town, and no one else got back to them. By the time I responded, it was too late. I haven't followed the trading very closely and can't say who is supposed to get what.

I write the answer:
quote:
Lord Chaos Theory,

Thank you for the message. We have received the Ecological Engineering technology from you. Due to increased star activity we may discover the next technology much sooner. In order to switch to Cyberethics wothout loss of lab points we need the Intellectual Integrity in the near future.

Regarding the technological trade, we should come to an agreement soon. I will initiate talks regarding this issue.

Eventis recently had problems, I will try to get inside the embassy soon. For the time being we may stay in touch through this communication channel.

And some exchange with Ouro:
quote:

Thank you for your message, Lord Ouro. I have also contacted Lord Chaos Theory, as there is a problem with the Eventis Embassy.
We still need Intelectual Integrity from you in order to switch to Cyberethics without loss of lab points.
When is the expected time you may have this technology?

I believe, we will be in debt of two technologies from you for the 2 techs you transfer to us:
- Ecological Engineering
- Intellectual Integrity.

We can agree on the repayment technologies. One of them will be Cyberethics, if you choose so.

IT Mart

quote:


Per the agreement made with the Angels and Spartans, we have transmitted EcoEng preaccepted to you, for your use. Now, if I remember the agreement correctly, you now owe to Gaia two technologies? One of them, I believe, you were going to give us CyberEthics, after you researched it in a turn or so?

Not good, we have meltdown on this one too:
quote:
Lord Chaos Theory,

This renders the Spartan-Gaian-Data Angels agreement possibly not going to happen. According to the agreement Spartans were supposed to provide you with Ecological Engineering so you can without loss switch to Intellectual Integrity and provide it to us, so we can without loss switch to Cyberethics. This way we probably complete Intelectual Integrity and not Cyberethics.

It is not good turn out of the events. It seems we lacked sufficient cooperation on that agreement.

As we had just finished Ecological Engineering, we cannot also complete Intellectual Integrity before you complete your tech.

Tired of ads?

And from Kasipeia
quote:

Let me explain.

We asked from the Gaians several days ago, when would they be gaining EcolEng and by what time should we deliver it to them. The Gaians stated that they had no accurate information on this date because their energy rates would be changing over time.

Hence when Googlie posted our latest turn on to the Gaians, we did not place EcolEng on the table preaccepted. A message from the Gaians that I received later that day stated that the Gaians would be getting EcolEng on the very same turn and that we should have placed EcolEng preaccepted on the table, lest the Gaians research it before we can transmit it to them.

Obviously, this hasn't been accomplished due to the lateness of Gaian response and their evasiveness in providing us information crucial to this exchange. Chaos Theory has placed the blame tentatively on low team activity which is slowing down their decision-making process - these may indeed be trying times for their faction. Drogue has also told us that according to the rules, we may not replay the save to place the tech on the table. This means that the trade is effectively beyond salvaging.

Regardless, we are still very interested in acquiring Intellectual Integrity directly from you.


Lieutenant Colonel Kassiopeia, Senior Diplomatic Officer of the Spartan Junta, Governor-General of Arcadia.


There seems to be a problem in Gaian Union with members activity. Illuminatus should have stayed a bit longer. It just costed us opportunity to get yet another technology. Not good for the relations too. Probably Spartan-Gaian relations will worsen again...

And the response:
quote:
Colonel Kassiopeia,

It is not a good turn out of events. I hope your relations with the Gaian Union will not worsen. We really lacked enough cooperation on that agreement. However, I can see that little could be done from our side apart from maybe warning Gaians that some safety margin of mission years might be considered. This would be, though, seen probably as impolite by Gaian Lords. Let's hope we will do better on the next one.

In this case we will complete Intellectual Integrity of course. Regarding estimated time of completion of this technology, as you may know, there is recent increased activity of the primary star, due to which we will have very large amount of energy soon. As previously the estimate was 2166-67, now my guess is 2164-65.

A right nuisance this is.
Spartans should have pre accepted Ecol Eng as soon as they discovered it as per agreement.
Gaians should have been more alert.

Question If we then go on to discover Intel Integ (in 2163/4) can we pre accept to Gaians so that they can discover Cyberethics and get us all back on course.
