Diplomacy Master Thread- Helping Your Opponents Beat Themselves

[Boldly Going Nowhere]

I really like that new ASM draft. I'm pretty sure I'll send it shortly, probably with the face like darrell suggested.

I agree.

I think the purpose of it is to be subtly sarcastic/ironic. Not nastily so, just enough.

Exactly.

[Fintourist]

Yeah, I guess I am more of a suck-it-now-and-raze-every-single-one-of-their-cities-laughing kind of guy.

All in good time!

Like the ASM message as well. I'd still prefer a slightly more assertive tone, but that's the next best thing

And SENT.

Hi Caledorn,

Thanks for the offer but its not a good time, can we have it in about 10 turns? I'm sure you need it for something since the Spanish have delayed its hook up for so long.

Your Friends,
RB

Yeah, send it so we can kill this damned discussion and get into something that might actually help us, like getting OBs with CivPlayers and Univers.

Travelling and finally caught up with this thread ... all 160 unread posts. I'm glad that we settled on the version that was sent and not some of the others. I would have put in something along the lines of ...

'That was a gutsy move settling the marble city in the teeth of your enemy - lucky for you they signed peace the next turn.'

... but I think the actual message effectively says that too.

Along with OB messages, I'd like to send diplo to three teams that have yet to vote on Plako as game adminstrator. So far there's been unanimous approval, with these holdouts:

WPC
Civplayers
CFC

I like the suggestion in the rant thread to ask WPC and CP first, leaving CFC as the lon holdout, and then put pressure on them publicly. Plako said there's at least one team against his selection as admin, and we're pretty sure it's CFC... but seeing how now one else was nominated we can push them hard on this.

We *need* this done before the real wars start. WPC should be easy, I hope, and we can bundle the OB request with this to be efficient and seem more partnery.

Draft to CivPlayers:

CivPlayers,

Hey, are you guys OK with re-signing Open Borders? We would also be willing to let your chariot cutting through our lands in order to get home, no problem . Let me know what you think.

Thanks!
scooter - Team RB

You all good with this?

[Ceiliazul]

we should suggest a direct path.

[spacetyrantxenu]

A direct path through our newest city so they can't see our secret stack of giant death robots that we're hiding in our core.
