Trade Federation Role Play for Neutral non AI Player

[Gryphin]

The purpose of this thread is to discuss the various aspects of a non AI player acting as the leader of the "Trade Federation"
This Role would be as:
Swiss Bank, Broker, Negotiator, Scrap Dealler, Resource Storage, Arms Dealler, and who knows what else.
I posted an early Version of my ideas in the "extremely silly quesiton" thread.
Above is a refined Version. Here is a link to the same one at my web site. I will update it as ideas come in here or email.

I'd like to thank dmm who came up with the idea for the "Trade Federation". Since it was his idea, I asked him if he would like to start the thread or if he minded if I did.
