The Rules of Forum Only Seasonal Diplomacy

1.  Only communication is through the forum (not personal messages, a forum post only);
2.  The diplomatic period is only in session for the time between results with "Late" (Season) appear and end as soon as the "Early" (season) results are out (not necessarily 48 or 72 hours);
3.  Non-diplomacy posts (status points, conversational digressions not related to tactical or strategic positions) like smack, universal results can be posted at any time, again nothing referring to in-game positions and possibilities.
4.  No agreement can be for more than three turns (ending at longest at the next Late season results);
5.  No Allies unless a novice player; novices also have unlimited diplomacy with all.  Novice = first 12 player game.
6.  No Non-Aggression Pacts (NAPs) or anything smelling like a NAP, i.e., doesn't have to say NAP to be a NAP.  Don't push the gray area.
7.  All these rules are player-enforced as this is outside the program.  We rely on the chivalry of our players.

what exactly does a nap smell like? like fragent flower on a cool spring day. Or The painted man's t shirt after 5 days at burning man? lol

DU- AZ OK, this is fine. I also would like the artifacts of course. LMK the terms for those.

DU-RD, I can also leave the standing order as it exists now. You can take the town at your leisure as I've evacuated it.

RD DU
Standing order to remain. I will take your town in my region. Thank you.

RD UN
Interested in selling me food and/or "protection" over next three turns?

UN - RD

I agree with you - if you open up the trade offer every three turns there should be no issue with it being deemed an alliance ... simply a beneficial trade to two parties that can go to the highest bidder at any point.

I am intrigued with your offer and I can see us doing business soon ... but not this cycle. It seems that all of Maelstrom loves their agents and the gold is coming in faster then I can spend it on women, whiskey, and fast horses.

While I am grateful for your offer of the monthly stipend I think that walks too close to the line but I am happy to embed that in beneficial trade terms in the future as you have suggested. Another way to not have to worry about my agents is to hire them to dispatch others.

Du-AM Done on the trade. I can wait on the artifacts.

[HabeusCorpus]

AM-DU
if the trade is acceptable, i can also  have 2 artifacts i can sell.
rod of fire and black owl totem

UN - AM

I offer $10K for the black owl totem and $10K for the rod of fire plus I will throw in a 10% off coupon for the famous Brothels of Bronze Canyon.  I can even make a recommendation or two or three or four on the local talent if you would like.

I will be enjoying those talents myself starting tomorrow morning ... so I will be out of communication for most of Sunday but I will confirm when I ....ahh....come back up for air.

I can offer an additional 10K food per turn for our trade deal for the Rod of ruin + 5K gold for the initial trade order.

AM-DU,
thanks.
