Hooray, TEAM was just "I don't check the main email" not "I'm avoiding diplomacy"!
I think we would succeed if just us and TEAM attacked--I'd only do that if we had a NAP in place with M3 at that point. The problem is that I'm not sure M3 would be wanting to help us, and I don't think Pirates are doing that well at this point :/

Trolls are pretty far ahead at this point, so it'll be hard for us... cats and zerks might be the way.
I'd be worried about m3 selling us out to Trolls tbh, I don't think they'd send units halfway round the world for no benefit to themselves. Not sure about pirates...

remember, they've spent all this time researching down the aesthetics line, so they can't be that far advanced, even with the help of pyramids+great library (they did revolt to representation right?  )
I agree about M3--should we tell TEAM we're not on the best of terms with them?
Pirates would probably depend on how much of a relationship they have with TEAM--they're on neutral terms with us, with not much communication taking place right?

Yup, how about a message like this:
Quote:Hi Lewwyn,
It went to the TEAM email, which would explain why the only thing we've heard from TEAM all game was "Jihad!"  Which address should we use?
We're not best friends with M3, so I'd be worried that they'd sell us out to Trolls. I'm happy to work with Pirates, but I suspect they'd be happy to sell you out to Trolls? In any case it's hard to see a benefit for either of them joining a dogpile as they won't get good cities out of it...
So while Trolls are ahead on score they have been researching the Aesthetics line (that was the music GA they got a few turns ago wasn't it?) which makes us think we've got a chance against them without getting the other teams onboard.
We could either have a lot of galleys and Zerks ready to go t141 or we could go down the Guilds line and try to 2-move their two nearest cities to us. We're scouting their coast at present to see if there are any juicy targets down there as their 2 border cities aren't much use to us. What sort of research path were you planning? And is it a good idea to have differently composed armies? (Not a lot of MP combat experience over here...)
Anyhow, we think we need to decide which research path to take by about t117, so no hurry to plan it all this weekend...
Cheers
Old Harry

Just got this message from Lewwyn:
Quote:I'm headed towards knights. So knights from the north and zerks from the sea might crack em. I need to talk to pirates about it they just offered a NAP to 140.
I think we need to chat with him about it..

> Greetings Gillette,
> I've been meaning to send a communicae for a little while now, but the chaos of the world keeps interfering. So I'm now sending this quick message over to you to get things started. As we both know, we're pretty quickly coming up on T125. I believe we all still want to continue to develop in peace for at least awhile longer. We would like to see about extending our NAP again so that we can ensure that the ugly Trolls do not dominate this world of ours. I'm thinking that kicking it up at least another 50 turns is a good start, unless you wanted to go all the way to T200.

What have they noticed?

How about sending this:
Quote:Dear Menagerie,
Sorry I haven't got back to you about this email - it's been a busy week.
I think we'd be interested in extending the NAP, but before we sign on I wonder if you have any ideas for stopping the Trolls ruling the world? Do you have a NAP with them at the moment? We noticed you have some catapults, which might just be useful...
All the best
Gillette
Do we want to give them more info about our plans? It's in their interest for us and Trolls to duke it out, but if they donate some cats we might be able to raze the land border cities...
