Altoids have no need to have such a belligerent towards Cheekybuggers.
It is in fact Cheekbuggers whom were hard done by in the tech trade with the Luap's.
It is in fact the Luap's whom were the aggressor with both Ygrinni and Weader. It's also the Luap's whom terminated communications with Cheekybuggers (whilst we were still supposedly allied).
As for negotiations, we have attempted to negotiate so far with Nexus and Hirota for planetary rights.
The Luap's don't appear to be interested in negotiating planetary rights but rather having other races make "reasonable requests" through the Luap high command for planets.
Cheekybuggers will not be "requesting" any such thing from Luap's but welcome the Luap's to the negotiating table to discuss the matter.
To be clear, our objection is to the Luap claim, to all or almost all of Weader space. In Cheekybuggers book, the territory is not the Luap's by right but is open to negotiation.
Altoids said:
"It's good to know that you aren't planning on taking all that space, but at what point do you expect other races to have to negotiate with you? Right now? When they have a colonizer built and routed? Or when your fleets are about to come in conflict over a planet? "
As mentioned previously we do not consider the Altoid/Weader conjoining space as relevant as it's way too far from us, So whom are you trying to score points for here (Luap's perhaps)?
If on the other hand you were scoring points for Hirota then we take it back. As already mentioned, Cheekybuggers has attempted to contact the Hirota but haven't yet heard back from them.
So since we're all being honest.
Do the Luap's and Altoids have a secret alliance ?
By our latest count, The Altoids have ownership of 55+ planets (the actual count is probably quite a bit higher than that). That's more than us, that's for sure.
So your complaints about our territorial space have been duly noted.
Please also be aware that the programs you use (notebook and whatever that other one was) may be including some of the intermingled space with the Hirota and Weader as Cheekybugger territory. Our three races have intermingled quite a bit so we request that you take that into account.
Our point about it not counting with Weader was that it can't be called war against them because they're no longer a human controlled race, so taking planets from them "doesn't count".
If you were meaning though, that Weader may in fact be returning to the game, then I suggest you criticise your ally first, as the Luap's are the ones whom already have made a grab for Weader planets.
We hate to point out the obvious here but in Cheekybuggers opinion it could just as easily have been the Altoids that were attacked by the Luap's.
We only ask that you consider this:
- They were friendly (by their own admission) with Ygrinni at one stage, but then chose to attack this peace loving race.
- The Luap's almost had a confrontation with Nexus, in which Cheekybuggers offered to act as intermediary to try to resolve the dispute (how we wish we had stayed out of that one).
- Weader was next. Openly attacked over some border dispute.
Wonder who started that?
- They also had an alliance and an agreement on tech trade with Cheekybuggers which both went awry.
How could it be that the Luap's are so unlucky.
Perhaps it's because they are indeed the aggressors.
We only ask that the Altoids consider all of this information and draw their own conclusions.
Fact is, the Altoids may escape being attacked by the Luap's for the entire game. Maybe the Luap's will never break the alliance with you.
I mean let's face it, they need to have a couple of friends in the galaxy.
Regards - Steve
