EMPIRE! CWBG X: For Obscure Cultural Reasons, We Have Huuuuuuge Tracts Of Land

[TheWombatOfDoom]

On a different subject, would anyone be interested in/free for a Venture! were I to run one this week? I am pretty much entirely flexible as to day and time Monday-Thursday (hence why this week); I had had the idea vaguely pencilled in for a while but have only just been able to confirm I'd be able to do it.

I might! I'm free tuesday! And apparently a few others are as well. What's it about? Also, did you get my skype message?

Whoever wrote that missed an opportunity. It could have been a dragon goat (Dragoat?).

But demon cow = Beiflings. Angel cow = Holy Cow.

Though I guess we've got Dammed Ram for Demon Goat. Oh Puns!

"Trade Engineers from the Niskovian Steppe (region 47A) for Glass from Grmanhil (region 31). Engineers are sent to Borlmyn (region 60)"

That was the original deal back in round 18, it seems some re-negotiations of my trade deals are in order given recent-ish developments over in the Empire of Dawn.

Indeed, I needed engineers for my subs. I'm also getting glass in Borlmyn from Grmanhil, I'll go over trades with you a bit if you'd like. We can distribute them a bit more evenly too, I'd think. Especially with how things are headed.

Hey guys, Today's Venture is in two hours.

Is anyone able to or interested in participating?

[WaylanderX]

I am here, and i shall participate in this Venture!. For Prowess of course.

As long as I know what's going on, I'm fine working with it, so you can keep the engineers - I'll just route them to you free of charge unless you have something you think I might really need. As to glass, well I'll have a look at your free resources and shoot you a message on Skype. Honestly though, so long as it isn't a hole in the budget/trade table, I don't really mind.

By the rules you can't actually route the Engineers to him since you can't trade import stacks. It sounds like you guys need to have a good ole trade sorting meeting with the regional administration changes.

@DoomHat I am down for a venture today.

Eh, not that hard. I give the Niskovian Steppe glass; they give Engineers to Borlmyn; Serendel sends me something in return. Easy enough to sort out.

I'd love to, but we're going to have a family friend over for dinner and I'm unsure of when I'll be free. Then again, I might get lucky and be able to pass off host duties to someone else after we've finished eating. If I do in fact manage to do that, I'll voice up in the Venture thread to say so.

What are you trading Grmanhil in exchange for the Glass it's sending you?

Wait, you can't? I thought that you could designate what region imports go to. That's what I do with a lot of my imports.

[Snowfire]

It's because Raaneka is a vassal of the EoD, and would be trying to route the stack to another nation - even though it's their liege. If it's internal routing, I don't think it matters - it certainly shouldn't.

You can within your own regions, but not cross player.

For example, if I get dryer lint from region 200, and trade them peach fuzz for it, I can't be like, oh, here, player I'm allied with, I'll just give you this dryer lint I'm getting so that you can use it to make dust elementals with it.

Instead, you have to in the terms have you, the player your allied to, and region 200's player all make trade actions for the trade to work.

Muchas Gracias! I shall make the amends to the table for the back rounds actions were taken that should have applied to him.

I am going to Cur5 one of my two iron resources into magnetite. Is that a good trade for you?

Already have it via a TP to Guilder as of last turn.

Would you be willing to give me nitrates for it? It looks like you have two stacks of it free at present, and I'd really love Raaneka to be able to build fireworks.

[SamBurke]

I'm working on finding Inigo's rolls, but it may be a while.

Do you know what round Inigo was introduced and which one he departed first?

[ImperatorV]

I'd like to start getting involved in these Ventures (mostly cause I want to host one in a few rounds and have no idea how to do it). I think I missed the one today though, is there one tomorrow?

There is one starting pretty much RIGHT NOW!

Just need you to PM me your SKYPE handle

I can't seem to find what region your glass comes from. Care to enlighten me?

And to anyone else I have said I was going to trade with, but forgot, please remind me via PM. I'll try to commit to all of these trades this round if possible.

Upgrading something to [Great] doesn't turn it into something magical. Nor would I think it would change one resource to another, not while also being a [Great] resource. I also am uncomfortable with a resource that is, essentially, an entire region's worth of resources rolled into one, based on what I took to be your intentions with it.

I don't think we ahd agreed on trades, but I'd love to do some trading anyway!

I understood that Unique was a classification separate from Great? Also, that's a fair concern. Granted it would take me a good long while to make it accomplish those things, but, hmm.

Hadn't really given much thought to how power gamy in the introduction of Hemp might be. Oh glorious fantasy Hemp.

Grmanhil. Thanks!

He started in round 20. Buttercup took over in round 24

(still looking for your stats post for round 23, btw.)

You're currently sending Light Crystals to Borlmyn and Nitrates to Grizzland. It is likely that one of these is the theoretical trade partner of the Grmanhil glass. It could be the Griffons going to Lyradis but I suspect that was set up before the KoS took over Grmanhil.

I understood that Unique was a classification separate from Great? Also, that's a fair concern. Granted it would take me a good long while to make it accomplish those things, but, hmm.

I don't believe Unique is an official resource designation, merely an indication that that resource doesn't currently occur anywhere else in the world. In the case of supernatural resources that tends to mean that unless there is a particular justification for it, it won't occur anywhere else either.

Some exceptions are the resources from Gebui, of which there is only one stack anywhere (albeit three of them are mundane resources) and Guilder has them all.

I may be joining the Venture in a bit, but I completely forgot about it and haven't done a character or anything or indeed any of the non-Empire stuff I was supposed to do this evening so it could be a little while.
