Lewwyn's Diplo School

[Lewwyn]

So we tell people what we want and if they don't agree, war bitches.

'Nuff Said.

[Krill]

Works for me.

Lewwyn's approach is sensible. Empathy is not required. It will be lulz-inducing when someone carefully crafts diplo for us and we give them blunt responses obviously scribbled in red crayon ignoring every delicate point they tried to make.

Queue LP spilling thousands of letters across a page for us to ignore in 3...2...1...!

I personally love this idea. Heck, I will help handle diplo if we get to do it this way. Our initial intro message should go something like this:

Let's cut the BS. You want to win and we want to win, and when those are at cross-purposes, may the other be damned. But so long as it behooves our teams, lets work together to fuck all the other teams. TEAM over and out.

Except for Team Razor, to whom I propose sending the following simple intro message:

Jihad.

Works for me.

[Catwalk]

I actually do agree with that approach, I like honest negotiations. And lying our asses off is probably seen through easily in this game anyway.

[ironstar]

I think that is a fantastic idea.
This way we practically make both LP and Kyan redundant. Every time we receive a diplo letter from either exceeding 3 lines we just reply with something like this:

Jihad.

I'd request that I get to sign that message but that would give an indicatiom of seriousness to it. If someone more sensible than me signs and sends it maybe they'll think we're kidding.

I think we should strive for our diplo to be extraordinarily blunt and not delicate, as undiplomatic as possible because hilarity should follow.

And I'm 100% agreed on using Ironstar's wolf every time someone sends an unnecessary long message. After a few of those the messages will get shorter, or maybe even stop. Or...people get tired of our lack of engagement and we're targeted by the first dogpile. Shit happens, it'll be fun either way.

I think we are more or less all in agreement. I don't think anyone here much likes verbose, unnecessary diplo prattling.
