Diplo with Gillette

[TheHumanHydra]

Hey HAK, remember to let Old Harry know about whether the Trolls have any triremes or not.

[TheHumanHydra]

The following chat exchange with Old Harry has occurred as a result of me sending that diplo message:

Just wanted to let you know the Trolls have three triremes either 1E, 1NE or 1E, 2NE of your fleet off the mainland. HAK couldn't remember which and we moved the scout so can't double-check. Anyway, just thought you should know before you play.

Also, we sent you a diplo.

Cheers,

THH

Thanks Hydra, I got the message just in time. We've sent our fleet to sit next to them!

In reply to your diplo message, yeah we're bogged down at wifom, I think we need to hope team open up another front for us to make any headway... how they found so many maces is beyond me!

Cheers

You're welcome. They're in Police State and Nationhood; they must be drafting like mad. At least it's not muskets! Has TEAM expressed interest in opening a second front? I sure hope they're not preparing to attack us ...

Cheers,

THH



Are lurkers reading our diplo threads and wanting to see all our messages? 'Cause HAK and I both just look at them in the drafts folder of our team gmail account before sending them, so we don't need to post them here anymore. But we will gladly do so if people are interested in them.

From Gillette:

Hi Menagerie,

We burned G&T and have taken Cuba Libre (their island city) - unfortunately On the Rocks just had too many maces behind their castle walls. We've split up our fleet and they won't know which flotilla the remaining zerks are on so we can go and threaten some other cities.

Thanks for the trireme info - we've got another two incoming and hope to get some caravels over there soon to keep the upper hand in the water. If they produce any new boats in White Russian can you let us know?

As I said to THH we're bogged down at WIFOM and unless we can draw away some of the defences I don't see us taking that city. That doesn't stop us threatening other cities (we could potentially take White Russian and Bloody Mary next turn, but expect them to be reinforced) and doing some pillaging. In an ideal world we'd reduce a lot of their cottages to rubble, but only time will tell if this is that world...

Interesting times!

Hi M3

I just thought I'd ask about borrowing marble for our national epic.
I'm not sure if we have anything you'd like, but I could offer not to
chop the trees south of Cornfield (which you'll get eventually) and to
extend our NAP from T175. When would you like it to last to? T190?

If you can think of anything else you'd like instead let us know.

Cheers
Old Harry

Thanks. I've been very bad about posting stuff up here. Harry had sent me a Gchat about this a couple days ago, and I kept forgetting to post about it.
Anyway, I think we should be ok with sending our Marble to them for a little bit. We're not using it at this moment. As for what we should ask for in return, them not chopping that forest that they were about to do would be nice. Cornfield is going to need it, since there's like NO other production available for that city.
But I think we should maybe get at least one other little thing (besides just extending the NAP). Any thoughts?

[TheHumanHydra]

I dunno, a few gold per turn? I'm not concerned; that we're boosting relations with Old Harry is enough for me.

[HitAnyKey]

I send this reply:

Would you be ok with also sending us a couple gold per turn during the time you are using the Marble?
So the exchange would be that we send you the marble so you can quickly complete your Wonder. You send us a couple GPT, don't chop the trees south of Cornfield, and we can extend our NAP. T190 sounds fine for now if that's what you would like.

[Lord Parkin]

From Gillette:

That sounds reasonable. I've stopped chopping that forest - you only
need to put one more turn in once your culture claims it.

I'll offer marble for 2gpt (I presume that's what you meant by a
couple). T190 is good for now, but if you'd like longer just let us
know.

Sent them a quick thank you; been meaning to do that for days.
