[SPOILERS] Jowy & Stampy

[Jowy]

Accepted. He didn't take Virmire, didn't even attack it.



Some of the reinforcements he had coming in. I'm going to start massing troops in Virmire, it's a good place to have defended against both Commodore and 2M.



No, because screw AT



And this comes right after



But I am not heartless, so here is a new offer to him. Gold and happiness, that should help him, right? Doubt he'll accept though, he REALLY hates trading away his techs to me. I think he'd rather be eliminated from the game than give me Chemistry.



Offer from Bigger. I thought about it, but I don't want to commit that much GPT at once.



I sent this counter-offer, offering him 5 GPT more for Liberalism than before. The fact that he's negotiating with me for GPT deals is a good sign that he might not immediately turn his army towards us when he's done with AT.



AT's three cities taken by Bigger. Here's the problem.. It would be really nice for Bigger if he were to take out Eden Prime so that those cities have more tiles to work.

Techies, Techies, more Techies. I like it.
Bigger has 2M and cornflakes who he is more worried about. If he attacks us he might get backstabbed like AT was.

[Jowy]

Our offers were not accepted



Cornflakes came up with a Chemistry offer of his own. Okay AT, if you don't want our gold, it will go to your enemy
I accepted the deal of course.



Now with more techs open, I asked Bigger for Steel. Willing to pay a lot for that, cannons would be a massive boost for us. I'll go higher if he doesn't accept this one.



Here are the power graphs you were asking for! I reckon it's delayed enough that Cornflakes' attack on AT's capital isn't showing up yet. Btw looking at demos, AT is below us or close to us at most categories. Civstats shows that he's whipped / drafted a lot. I think he has done the same thing I did, just fight to survive one more turn at any cost. Even if he survives this war, I doubt he'll be a threat anymore.

1 tech a turn, it's a good pace.
We've almost chaught AT in score.
Bigger is becoming bigger and bigger.

Yeah Bigger will be a problem. We aren't in a position to stop him though, so we have to rely on the other players. The best case scenario for us would be that the other players just go after each other, while we fund their campaigns and get techs in return. We would eventually catch up with them in techs. Then we can start worrying about who wins and how we make that be us

[Jowy]

Bigger didn't accept the Steel deal, but offered Liberalism for more than we asked for Steel...
I really want Steel, so let's try this:



If our gold isn't good enough for him, then it goes to Cornflakes :P
I made Cornflakes a smaller offer for Steel because I want to have enough GPT left to make a GPT deal with Bigger to keep him away.
Hopefully he'll accept though. He's not our neighbor, which helps when trying to buy a military tech.



Accepted this from Bigger though.

[flugauto]

Where is our 2nd fur?

[Jowy]

Just outside our borders. I never re-settled Noveria :P

[flugauto]

Obviously the fate is insisting on resettling Noveria.

[Jowy]

Krill is replacing AT after his ragequit. If Krill gets eliminated before us, it's official that we've beaten Krill in a Pitboss game.
