Niccolò Machiavelli's Thread

I don't think Gillette has that starting location/tiles, I think Menagerie do. (And stating it that baldly makes me twitch I'm not confident enough about it)

[darrelljs]

I trust you .

Do we want to see if we can combine C&D efforts with them?

It's not like it matters if we're wrong about Menagerie's start - we just want to engage Gillette in discussing our common enemies.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but still that makes me twitch

I'd be more comfortable if you said something like:

Despite settling a turn later Menagerie seem to have got a Worker & a Warrior out at least as fast if not faster than the rest of us - seems they got a good capital site, perhaps even a plains hill city & a 4 yield tile in the BFC.

Or is that too much free info, even for getting them talking?

I suggest leaving Rego jokes alone for a while . If repeated too often it will get tedious.

Almost forget. Team Gillette has started to direct their EPs on us. Currently 10 against our ~50.

I'm tempted to spam 100 e-mails to see just how many tropical troll permutations you have .

We agree that cooperation is key in these games, and feel your team is made up of honorable folks. Did you have something more concrete in mind, or just a generic "let's hold hands and sing Kumbayah"? Have you had friendly relations with the other team you've met?

Despite settling a turn later Menagerie seems to have built both a Worker & a Warrior at least as fast if not faster than the rest of us - seems they got a good capital site, perhaps even a plains hill city & a 4 yield tile in the BFC.

Hello Jamaican Jötnar,

Do not worry, I have many more permutations for you to enjoy!

At the present, we have only a few concrete ideas in mind for cooperation, although we are sure more will appear in the near future. For now, perhaps we could agree to balance our EP spending and inform each other when we meet the remaining teams in this game?

Hmm, we do wonder somewhat about Team Menagerie-they seem to be growing well, in addition,. Definitely, we will keep a few eyes on them.

Draft reply:

We would also be pleased to tell you when we meet another team, and we'll re-direct our EPs as soon as that happens. Let's refrain from providing other teams specific details, e.g. capital locations without first getting permission. Speaking of which, who did you meet and where are they located ?

Darrell

ok to me.

I'll be out of town next week but will have internet access and should be able to keep the diplo going.
