	Possible MP diplomacy? Got spare money?

This is what I think a diplomatic discussion between two human players in MP might look like:

Player1: Hark, almighty and rightful leader of the Romans. I, Player1, Cheftain of the everlasting Zulu empire do request an audience.

Player2: 0k d00d, I is l337.

Player1: Ermmm, yes! Would you care to trade world maps with me? I can also swap Literacy for Chemistry.

Player2: U sux0rz.

Player1: Perhaps you would like to trade some Ivory for some of your wonderful Spices?

*** Romans declare war on the Zulu Empire! ***

Player2: L0l. n00b.

Player1 decides he needs an ally to fight Player2.....

Player1: Greetings o generous demigod of the Aztecs. I have a proposal for you...

Player3: ?

Player1: Will you ally with me and fight the evil Romans? I will give you Metallurgy and 300 gold!

*** Aztecs steal Metallurgy and 300 gold from you! ***

Player1: Eh? How did you do that? Are you cheating?

Player3: I 4m l337 h4x0r! 4ll j00r b4s3 4r3 b4l0ng t0 m3!

*** Aztecs declare war on Zulus ***

*** Due to mutual protection pact English, Russian, Chinese, Indian, Babylonian, American, Iriqois and French declare war on Zulus ***

Player1: F**K

I rest my case.......

For those opf you with a sore head, I will translate what our script-kiddie freind is trying to say:

I-am-Elite -

You are correct sir. I do not like to play a diplomatic style game, I prefer war, it is great. When I play MP, I will play on a tiny map as it reminds me of my penis, along with a small number of other twa.. players so I can have as many wars as possible. Diplomacy is for inexperienced players, really good top drawer number one players can handle wars as you will all learn from playing multiplayer.

I can't understand anything he says. It was tolerable once, but it's beginning to piss me off now.

I'd be suprised if he'd be able to say one clear proper sentence. You know that stuff that we learned in early childhood...
Just being "different" doesn't help very much in communication. So if he has something important to say, he should switch to proper language. If he doesn't, he either has nothing to say or isn't able to talk / write, whatever. I don't care. To bad, so sad.

Anything will be better than dealing with a pissed off AI tho:

ME= Care to trade 1500gp, 50gpt, some spices & my world map for Navigation ???

AI= This deal cannot be done !!!

He did once, I mean one time.

Could be chat like discussions in MP btw, guess with 8+ players on-line in a game chatroom management becomes an issue

Good point - we'll need to make an effort not to let diplomacy degenerate into smileys and acronyms...

Back to original topic.

The diplo options with chatrooms, forums, e-mail are great, hope Firaxis does a cool implementation here.

Imagine the chatroom to be the public table where resources, alliances, treasure is being negotiated. And e-mail as the pub style where pact details are discussed further, obscure agreements are being made....

The mods will have a hard time!
