Turn 240 cont.
Following on from the offer of the defensive pact for 60 gold Mack demanded 450 gold and then offered oil for 50 gpt. We're at least 7 turns from having a use for oil, so I turned it down. As I see it either Mack is now our friend for the next 60 turns as he fights against Plako and/or Scooter, or this is an elaborate way to get us to lower our guard. Either way we'll stay alert until turn 242, at which point I'd be happy to pay a bit for peace and for oil, but right now it doesn't make any sense.
But wait, what's this? A destroyer!
Is 450 gold a reasonable price for a destroyer? I guess so... I'll offer 400 back in an attempt to haggle. The 3 gpt is supposed to indicate that we'll buy three more at that price. Who knows if Mack will understand...
Note the number of units finishing in the next two turns - if it is a bluff we'll put up a decent (but doomed) fight...
Demos and power.
