Diplomacy Master Thread- Helping Your Opponents Beat Themselves

[Tyrmith]

That would just antigonize them for no reason imo. No reason not to just be polite about it and just tell them happy for health resources won't work for us.

[Azoth]

Yeah. Remind them we're Expansive, and have no health issues at all.

[Boldly Going Nowhere]

I agree. Let's give a polite decline on the resource trade and send over a couple missionaries.

I just remembered it's been nearly 3 days since the Spanish team sent this:

Hi! we notice you had gems and spices. Would you like to exchange them with us?

I took a bit of a liberty and just responded now. I sent this:

Do you have anything in mind you'd like to trade for them?

I feel like these short and to-the-point messages are the way to go with the Spanish team, so I figured one little follow-up question wasn't worth of delaying for discussion. Hopefully most of you agree.

Actually, I do. I totally think you should have done an Aidun from the Templars on it. Longwinded evasive comments are much better at conveying the meaning of your words than short concise replies

Just a heads-up: CFC sent 15g to Apolyton earlier this turn. Might be worth doing some feelers on their relationship.

[nabaxo]

Maybe they got the "gold sum for gold-per-turn"-deal from them they didn't get from us?

[kjn]

Yeah, but this happened during the turn, and without CFC being logged in. CFC might have accepted something using APTmod, though. But for now I think we must assume that Apolyton and CFC are pretty chummy.

[SevenSpirits]

Yeah, but this happened during the turn, and without CFC being logged in.

That just sounds like CFC proposed the deal and Apolyton accepted it.

Proposed exchange by WPC, offered to
The propose is:
Offer:
Ovejas
Demands:
Gemas

Google says they're offering Sheep for our Gems. Sounds like it's time for a polite "no thank you, health doesn't do us any good" message.
