yes, great job with the diplo, all. UCiv sending us gold is a major coup. Getting CivFr to do the same would be great as well!

Can we propose the idea to UCiv for them to steal Nationalism from us?

UCiv doesn't have enough EP to steal anything, and right now we want them generating gold instead of EP.

OT4E of CivPlayers poked me for a brief chat:

Chat with CivPlayers Wrote:OT4E
hi Scooter

scooter
hey

OT4E
probably you are not waiting for our reply

scooter
yeah we're not, apolyton replied and pretty much answered for both of you

OT4E
but anyway your offer is nice, but we cant accept it frown may be later we will be able to return to this talks

scooter
Yeah I figured. I am sort of surprised, I honestly think I would have taken it if I were in your shoes. But if you have previous agreements in the way, nothing we can do about that.
you guys are obviously well coordinated, so good job on that. you got MilTrad and then a ton of gold gifted to upgrade to Cuirs smile
I think enough for what, 15-20ish? That should be fun

OT4E
nothing can be hidden for long
seems that you have found good friends too smile

scooter
I'm just glad *someone* out there doesn't hate us. haha
so I have to ask. was this whole thing CFC's idea? or is that just spectacularly lucky for them?
well "hate" is too strong of a word, but someone that isn't aiming to see us die wink

OT4E
no I dont think there is much blame of CFC

scooter
Anyway, I would wish you guys good luck, but I'd prefer that your luck isn't so good smile. And of course, let me know if you reach a point where you're not interested in further conflict, and I'd be happy to chat again and see what we can work out

OT4E
I am still sure in positive result for you, so there is no place for "hate" imho, just a good game. When you finally win you'd probably confirm that it wasnt that easy smile
too easy to be dull
I mean this

scooter
You've certainly made the game exciting, that's for sure.
not that it wasn't already, but especially so

OT4E
1 more thing
hope you understand that you must bring both WPC and UCIV into our agreement about changing civics
if you dont want to become burocratical when you get rifling smile

scooter
yeah... WPC isn't answering emails right now, I'll try to push them about it again. I should be able to bring UCiv in though, yes.

OT4E
I also can only promise about ourselves
CFC is against and I am worrying about it too

scooter
I think they would be the only ones against
but they definitely would not accept
I am thinking though
if we get everyone to agree, we might be able to pressure CFC into agreeing that way. Not sure

OT4E
how did the pre-start vote about this finish?
only CFC blocked this?

scooter
I think a couple random teams just voted "all espionage" without really understanding what they were voting for

OT4E
ah may be we voted for this too smile

scooter
because apolyton for instance voted for allowing these missions, then this agreement was their idea, hah


Quick notes:
1) Making sure the bridge does not burn as best as I can.
2) He reminded of the EP agreement stuff. I missed sending the poke to WPC previously, so I went ahead and sent it (messsage in tracking thread). I'm going to draft up a UCiv message about it in just a minute.
3) They know about UCiv gifting gold.
4) Every time I talk to UCiv and Apolyton they don't deny working closely together, but they do deny being close with CFC. Just take that for what it's worth: not a lot, but it's something to keep in mind. I just get the feeling the western two are committed to working together, and CFC is committed only to helping themselves. I tend to think this is the best angle to eventually break this thing up when the war gets going.

Draft to UCiv:

Draft to UCiv Wrote:Yuufo,

Hey, idea for you guys to consider. Apolyton proposed an multi-nation agreement about EP missions. Here is the proposal:

* All teams that sign the agreement promise to never use civic or religion swap spy missions on any other team that signs the agreement for the remainder of the game, regardless of whether you are at war or peace with those teams.

Currently agreed is Realms Beyond and Apolyton. CivPlayers has promised to also agree if your team and WPC also agree. Are you interested in agreeing to not use those two spy missions? We feel they are not very fair missions, but since they are not banned, we figure we can use diplomacy to remove them. Let me know what you think. smile

Thanks,
scooter - Team RB

Draft looks good...I notice you didn't mention CFC yet, which is a good idea IMO.

Reg Draft to UnivCiv, we don't want to give them an impression that we already made our alliance public even after being told not to. By lumping WPC and UnivCiv together, it is kind of saying that...
