Treaty now Pact when we switch to green?

We're at Treaty already.

Pacts are well and good, but we shouldn't go out of our way to try and achieve it. Treaty of Friendship is sufficient.

Pact : this will only cost us Doctrine Loyalty.

So you want to give a potential future foe the ability to produce Perimeter Defense's? One would ask.....why?

Also, doesn't calling them up to find out what they may request count as playing ahead?

Go for Pact: exchange Ambassadors, import very High quality Xenograss and container loads of Talisker, (though this might effect status of said whisky).

Invite stepdaughters to open houses of 'good repute' in our liberal territory.

Yes it does. however, he may be assuming she wants Doctine: Loyalty because she asked for it when we first contacted her (although we didn't ask for a Pact).

Presuming pact wins, should we have another poll for how much we're willing to give her for the pact? I noted that some were ok with, say, a tech, but others we're not so eager.

Or are those sort of decisions handled during the turnchat?

Hercules · January 15, 2003, 10:30

The Spartans have Gatling, Deirdre doesn't. It might help her with her war with the Spartans if we can offer her that tech

AdamTG02 · January 15, 2003, 11:27

Assuming Pact wins, my orders will be to approach Deirdre about it during the turnchat. If she declines, there will be a poll about how far we should go to attain a Pact -- by giving her tokens of goodwill, by recommending to the DoSE that we switch to Green as soon as possible, or by other methods.

DeathByTheSword · January 15, 2003, 12:14

what if she ask during the session something for they pact (like gatling tech?)

Pandemoniak · January 15, 2003, 14:44

Playing ahead is only clicking end turn, which i didnt do.

Drogue · January 15, 2003, 17:24

I concur with Herc: Give Deirdre Gatling tech, as it will help her (and ultimatly us) against the Spartans, and endear us to her, so that, especially with Green (which our DSE has expressed an interest in) we will neither have to fight Deirdre nor the Spartans

As I said to Cedayon, this issue came up months ago and the general concensus was that it was not permitted.
