To Vanheim:

That is out of the question since most of the land there is already under our control. You can take a detour all the way until 146, but if you decide to heed the advice of the monkeys, you might run into a nasty surprise.

To Machaka: 153 is free to take.

Dear muse,

I understand the whole waiting-until-the-last-minute thing, I do it myself when the game gets complex and it is surely your right. However, this is still pretty early in the game...so when you're the last to send in your turn, can you please wait like five minutes and play the next turn as well? It shouldn't take very long and I think we'll see a quick turnaround...I'll do my best to follow this advice as well.

thanks,
Grijalva

The diplomatic situation is often not solidified before at least twenty hours have passed, giving everyone ample time to review the turn and access the forums-- hence I wait about a day before doing the next turn.
As example, for me, part of this turn will be dependent on Lihaässä's answer:
Do I gear up for spider slaying? Do I forge pitchers for rooibos tea on the beaches?
Completing my turn before finding that out would be problematic.

I check the game status often and plan my schedule accordingly (trying not to delay long if everyone has a quick clip); as it stands now, doing my turn immediately would only cut approximately two hours off the turnover.

That said! I will attempt to complete my turn a few hours earlier, if not immediately.
Hopefully this is acceptable. *huggles Grijalva*

Ha,

Fair enough, I hadn't considered that you may have been waiting on diplo, certainly enough reason to wait.

Hum, Let me think about your proposal :

This was the condition, and if it is acceptable, we have an agreement.

To Muse, Sorry, I got this message after uploading my turn. I have to play my turn rather early because of the time differences. You don't have to gear up for hunting spiders since that beach province holds no real value for us. I have now control over the province and I see you were fast enough building a fort under it. Could we cut this one from the middle, I'll hold the beach for 3 turns ( I conquered it after all ) and then you are free to take it?

I'm also willing to change some E/F/N gems to astral ones, if you're into that?

Otherwise I see no reason not to NAP with folks under the sea.

- Mulungu

To Yonz, Thanks - I'll take that province soon.

Dear Num,

we still haven't heard from you. Do you accept our NAP 3?

Also, to neighbours of Bandar Log:
In case you have ulterior motives and have missed the obvious (most stick-wielding monkeys are currently scouring our plantations for sweet, sweet bananas) - now is a good chance to snatch some of those tasty-looking provinces. Cheers!

That is perfectly acceptable! Our NAP is solidified; in approximately three turns we shall secure the beach, and hopefully enjoy a lasting peace with the sweet smelling spiders!

As for trade... that is an interesting proposition, and one we like!
Usually people wish to purchase our tea, or nori, rarely these pearls.
Mayhaps earth gems for our bonsai pots, at a reasonable ratio of 1.5:1 Astral-to-Earth? (Completely negotiable.)

Think on it, it may be a turn or two before The Humming Fog shall commit to a trade.

Finalgenesis · #**139** September 14th, 2010, 07:48 AM

I assume when you say 1.5:1 astral to earth, you meant it the other around? Or are you actually offering 1.5 astral gems per earth gems?

On the other hand, the jotuns declare it's intention to trade our N/D for Earth gems at 1:1, or our S for Earth gems at 3:4.

You get your answer. My proposal about northern lands was sincere, I am really sorry it has no value for you. As you were my last neighbour met and with no pact binding us, you were brave and optimistic to reject it.
