I also got this email from Krill ...
Quote:Hi ruff, TDA,
Congratulations on meeting my warrior! I've been searching far and wide to meet you.
I know this seems fast, but I would like to offer a tech pact to you, along with an NAP. I also need to ask you to communicate a very important peice of infomation to as many other people as you possibly can. If you could send the following paragraphs from me to Shadyforce, dsplaisted, mh and Kodii, and Imhotep, please?
You may have heard that I stole a worker of sunrise, and that would be true. I stole what I believe to be sunrises only worker, and then deleted it, because sunrise has managed to negotiate a 5 player tech aliance (called the UTA, or Uber Tech Alliance). The tech ring consists of sunrise, regoarrarr, the Lins, ZPV and Broker33, and they are currenty less than 15 turns away from researching Alphabet, Maths, Monarchy, HBR and IW. As far as I can tell, they are also well protected, with each player only having 1 flank not covered by a none UTA player (for instance, I have both sunrise and the Lins facing me, which is why I had to criple sunrise before I got 2v1'd). At the speed they are teching they should be at Construction, MC, Calendar, CoL and Currency by t100, easy, then stacks of war elephants, cats and HA are going to roll over us, unless they try it earlier with just HA (which ZPV may be thinking of, because his UU will be much too weak to use with WE).
The rest of us need to setup a counter alliance, and fast, to withstand the tech pressure we'll be facing.
(Finish).
I'll be in here most of the day, and on MSN, if you want to chat with me.
Krill
I forwarded the paragraph that Krill asked me to forward to the people he mentioned. I also sent the following to Imhotep ...
Quote:Ok, maybe killing you will be harder than I thought. Given Krill's email, do you want to call it a draw and get back to the game of civving?
Ruff
I also sent the following back to Krill ...
Quote:We are the Borg. Resistance is futile. Your culture will adapt to service ours. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own.
Standard hail silliness over. I've forwarded the paragraph in question on to the people you mentioned. How do you know about the UTA? This is bullshit, isn't it. You just want us to all buddy up and join your little collective?

Moving onwards, our warrior could snatch and destroy a worker and a settler of ZPV. Well I do not think we want to anger someone so far away. Or shall we?

hey - I'm back. Do you want to keep playing or hand back to me? I think our Northern warrior should go EAST to meet up with sunrise - then we can post in the 'all players' thread.
BTW: I played this turn

Krill emailed me about a 5-way trading block and initiated a 6-way trading alliance. I don't think we were going to get far with Imhotep ... he would be able to hold us off quite easily.
I think that we settle a few cities and build a tonne of Preats and cats and then take mh / Kodii land. Preats are going to be pretty strong for a while.

Seems the Alliance is basically on ...
Quote:Just had a chat with Krill (see attached).
Here is the summary ...
Summary ...
Ruff - in, can contribute IW (I already have it <grin>)
Imhotep - in (Monarchy)
Shady - in (alphabet in 7)
mh - Kodii - Maths
Dsplaisted - Metal Casting
Krill - HBR
I also said that we would try to balance beakers but we would either issue IOUs or just waive any close balance in the interest of getting the trades going. We should also discuss a gold / beaker exchange rate.
The other option is that we agree to trade techs regardless of the beaker value and form a Tech Alliance in the true sense of the word.

and the part of the chat that I didn't send to the others
Quote:12:58 PM me: the balance is a chat between Ruff and Krill (shapeshifter!!!) and will not be forwarded to the group
are you interested in any backstabbing?
Krill: Depends
me: on what?
12:59 PM Krill: So long as the UTA is still functioning, and all 5 players are working together...
I don't realy want to see 2 players drop out in our little enclave
me: ok ... assume it breaks down - what then
Krill: afterwards though
definately
someone has to die
we all ned land
me: well - I have my eye on mh / kodii land
and I would hate to see them get HBR
1:00 PM as that would open up phants as a counter to my preats
Krill: You know when the UTA is likely to get to elephants?
me: no
Krill: by guess is around t100
*my
Lib should fall around t130
1:01 PM me: I don't care when they get phants
Krill: thing is we need to be matching them
me: if the UTA has fractured and we haven't pulled off our big trade
then I would like you NOT to send HBR to mh / kodii
Krill: IF the UTA isn;t a threat by then, ok.
1:02 PM but tbh, and I'm telling you this out of courtesy, I don't see that happening, so you are probably much better focussing on expanding instead of trying to kill someone
me: how big is the lake SE of our meeting point?
Krill: I haven't found the southern edge
me: so - big?
Krill: I think it goes to the equator
1:03 PM me: ok
Krill: possibly further
me: I will not be looking to settle NE of our meeting spot
so feel free to grab it
Krill: thanks
I'm not sure we have any settling plans yet
1:04 PM or over there, anyway
me: and don't worry about me - I will be expanding
just growing back some pop so I can whip it at the moment
1:05 PM ok - I am done
will forward top of this chat to others and send you a copy of my email to them too
hurry up and meet the others so that we can all chat
1:06 PM Krill: sorry, had to kill a wasp
cool
will do
