Diplomacy Master Thread- Helping Your Opponents Beat Themselves

[ironstar]

Wouldn't that just cause them to distance themselves from us though?

[NobleHelium]

I think there is already a cabal with war plans against us, and any negotiations our opponents undertake is to camouflage that fact.

I am amending my prediction to include WPC in the cabal, out of spite over the German war.

Darrell

I'm amending my prediction to include you and Nicolae in the cabal too.

Proposed draft to CivFr:

Hey guys. We've been keeping tabs on Apolyton and CivPlayers recently, and they seem to be in the process of building up a bit. CivPlayers actually funded Apolyton towards Rifling. It's possible they may want to try to interfere with us, but I think it's also possible they could aim to target your team. Do you guys know anything about their plans? I just wanted to make sure neither of our teams are caught in an awkward spot. Maybe we can help each other out if a conflict arises?

Let us know if there's any way we can help you with your CFC conflict. I noticed it seems to have died down, but we do feel bad for your team being cheated out of a great merchant mission by CFC.

Thanks,

I mean I guess that works given that nobody seems to have any ideas whatsoever. All I really care about here is getting in that CFC barb at the end. Anything to foment dislike between them is beneficial.

[Boldly Going Nowhere]

I think the draft is as good as anything else we can send. Really, though, they are unlikely to give any substantial response to much of anything we send at this point. But, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Can you say "building up some military" instead of "building up a bit" and perhaps "attack" instead of "interfere with" to make the translation easier for them?

Yep, both seem like good suggestions. Any other comments at all?

[Ceiliazul]

Scooter, it looks good with Harry's changes.

[sunrise089]

Agree, looks good post-changes.

[scooter]

Sent with those changes.
