Diplomacy Master Thread- Helping Your Opponents Beat Themselves

[Boldly Going Nowhere]

Diplo should be pretty straightforward with the Germans, but for glamor points, send as a Haiku:

Missionary here.
Convert to our faith. Profit.
Where do you want it?

In the interest of getting it over quickly, sent this without waiting for discussion:

GWT,

We will send you one right now! It will be in your borders immediately. Hope it helps.

Thanks,
scooter - Team RB

Met this message from WPC when I logged in:

Bringing this over from the general thread:

Yeah I'm hesitant because I imagine it goes like this:

RB: um so when are you going to hook that marble for us guys?
CFC: yeah well we can't right now because we're in a war - a war you decided not to help us for
RB: oh right that
CFC: yeah

I agree that this is the likely outcome, but if we can show that they're not making a "good-faith" effort to claim marble, then we can also claim that they're in breach of clause 5.5.

They've also been helped in the war by us - stone is a strategic resource, and they've built walls in at least one city, so we've helped them despite being neutral.

We can also say that we've fulfilled every part of the deal, and now it's time for them to deliver. One possibility is that if they can't provide marble, they will have to pay a fair price for our spices, something which is defined as 2 GPT per city per happy resource, ie currently 24 gpt.

In my opinion we should simply send them a message asking: "What's the ETA for hooking the marble?". We do have an agreement after all for them to provide the marble. I wouldn't say anything else, letting them say something if they want.

[Tyrmith]

I agree with Kalin.

[Shoot the Moon]

Also agree with Kalin. It's in the agreement, it's therefor reasonable to ask for I think.

[Ceiliazul]

Kalin's idea is good.
