[14:07] Hi Zarn [14:07] Heya Trp [14:07] * Goonie has quit IRC (QUIT: User exited) [14:09] * FortyJ_Lunch is now known as FortyJ [14:10] I'll be right back. [14:10] * Zarn1 has quit IRC (QUIT: User exited) [14:12] * Zarn1 has joined #demogame_CFC_Embassy [14:12] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Zarn1 [14:12] sorry about that [14:12] had a co-worker come into my office asking questions about a case. [14:13] That's okay. No harm was done. [14:14] anyhow, we wanted to try to talk some more about alphabet, see if we couldn't meet in the middle on a price or work out a future trade [14:14] you know, something where we give you alphabet and you guys give us another equal tech later. [14:16] I am thinking about it, but I cannot get the answer to you just yet. [14:16] * Goonie has joined #demogame_CFC_Embassy [14:16] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Goonie [14:16] 12° Mr. Speaker... 12° [14:16] what are your thoughts? [14:16] Hi [14:16] hello [14:16] Thoughts one what? [14:17] I was asking Zarn for his thoughts on a possible alphabet trade [14:17] Are you from Poly? [14:17] Yes [14:18] I'm the Foreign Affairs Minister of Poly [14:18] One sec, please [14:18] Filling in because my ambassador, ZargonX, is away today and tomorrow. [14:18] Ah, I used to be the FA minister here. I am ambassador to Poly now. Pleased to meet you [14:18] good to meet you. [14:19] Please outline the trade [14:19] I missed it. [14:19] No trade yet. I'm trying to start a dialogue as we don't even know is available for trade ... we don't have any idea what you guys have, you know? [14:20] Ah, you want you to give us alphabet [14:20] sure [14:20] we could either sell it or work out a trade [14:20] * cyc2 has joined #demogame_CFC_Embassy [14:20] Hi CYC [14:20] * Goonie sets mode: +v cyc2 [14:20] hey [14:21] anyhow, first time we talked we offered alphabet for 75, but you guys said it was too much, so we're willing to meet in the middle. Agree to a lower price OR perhaps give it to you now and have you guys give us something equal later on. [14:21] Sorry, but we already have Alphabet [14:21] ?? [14:21] serious? [14:21] that was fast. :( [14:22] Sorry to disappoint, maybe we can work something else out. [14:22] Yeah, I think science needs to talk to Foreign affairs more often. ;) [14:22] when we first met we were told to talk to you about it 2 turns later :( [14:23] Sorry, Togas. I wasn't wasn't aware, either. [14:23] But since that time we have acquired the knowledge of the Alphabet A .. B...C ...D ...E [14:24] What are you working on now? [14:25] I love that song [14:26] . [14:27] hello? [14:27] Ceremonial buildinhg [14:28] Sorry, I had to go to the washroom [14:28] that's an easy one [14:28] heck, we could probably get it for you :) One of our contacts has it. [14:29] Do you guys have both wheel and warrior code? [14:29] Ah, which contact might that be? [14:30] We'll exchange contact info with you on a name for name basis. [14:30] Of course, CDG doesn't count as we both know we know them :) [14:30] Yea of course [14:31] heck, we could even trade contacts in a few turns if you guys want. [14:32] We could arrange something [14:32] well, then, let's arrange it :) [14:32] Good [14:32] I'll reveal who Apolyton has contact with if you guys will do the same, agreed? [14:33] Agreed [14:33] We have contact with CDG & GCA (Gamecatchers) [14:34] We know GCA as well [14:34] 2Laugh 2Out 2Loud [14:34] :D [14:34] no way! [14:34] LOL [14:34] Way! [14:34] damn... [14:34] there goes the contact trade idea! [14:34] Yuppers [14:35] you guys ask them for CB? [14:35] No we haven't [14:35] Well we will be looking for more nations. If we find one, we will let you know that we have a contact. [14:35] Have you guys traded alot with them? [14:35] if not, I have an idea ... why don't we split the cost of CB between us: One of us ask them for a price ... and if the price is 40g, we each pay 1/2 of it. [14:35] then whoever buys it gives it to the other party [14:36] that way GCA only makes 1 sale and we each get it for 1/2 price [14:37] what do you think? [14:38] I like it. We will buy the tech, copy the chat transaction, then sell it to you guys. [14:38] For half the price [14:38] exactly [14:38] Ok sounds good. [14:38] we'll pay 1/2 of whatever you guys paid for it [14:39] Yeah! [14:39] I will get the Ambassador to GC on that right away [14:39] good deal [14:39] Well, at least something got done. ;) [14:39] :D [14:39] We can get a few more things done ;) [14:40] Any suggestions? [14:40] We made peace agreements with GCA and CDG after we met them, and my team would like me to work out a peace agreement with you guys. A Non-Agression pact [14:40] the sort of thing were we agree to respect each others borders, not attack each other, etc [14:42] I'll draft something up and send you the draft. You guys can look it over and let us know what you think ... but do you want me to? [14:43] Sure [14:43] Draft one, then we can discuss the possibility in further detail [14:43] will do [14:43] also, we like to try to discuss tech trades before we get techs ... do all the negotiating beforehand and do the trades on the turn we get the tech [14:44] so that we can get techs traded faster, you know? [14:44] That is a good idea, but we dont want to look to far into the future. Circumstances change and all [14:45] understood [14:45] Who knows what could happen [14:45] we figure it's a good idea to just negotiate the tech we're workign on now ... since you rarely change techs mid-way [14:45] anyhow, we're working on Mapmaking [14:46] Why type of agreements do you have with the other nations? [14:46] so I'm not sure what you guys will work on after CB, but we should try to work in the future to set up a trade so we can gvie you MM [14:46] only agreements we have right now are Non-agg pacts. Do you guys have any agreements with any other nations? [14:47] We do not have any pacts with any nation [14:47] do you guys have contact with nations other than CDG & GCA? [14:48] No [14:48] wow [14:48] Oh wait, you guys :D [14:48] it's just the 4 of us on this continent [14:48] Do you ? [14:48] We will tell you when we get one. [14:49] you 3 are it for us, too [14:49] ok [14:49] so we're hoping to get MM soon to try to meet other civs [14:50] yea [14:50] I see [14:50] but if we get other contacts, we'll let you know. They can be very useful to trade. [14:50] Yes they can! [14:50] 'cause if you guys got a contact we didn't have, we'd trade one of ours, or give you tech for it [14:51] just to let you know, for tech trades, we try to go by the editor values of the techs [14:51] do you guys have that info available? [14:52] for example, the editor value of Mapmaking is 12, so we'll try to trade it for tech that is also a 12, or a combination of techs that = 12 [14:52] Yes we have the info. Its in the editor [14:52] cool [14:53] so if you'd like to trade us for mapmaking, hopefully we can work out a fair trade :) [14:53] just a sec ... afk a min! [14:54] Ok [14:55] back [14:56] brb [14:56] 2Laugh 2Out 2Loud
