Diplomatic Messages - a guide

To save time and space in diplomatic communications in might be handy to refer to standard exchanges by a simple code.

So I will copy my examples from the other thread and label them as 6,7, 8. So when we talk to another faction, and need to explain our lack of action, we can say 8 (the Roze variation). Please feel free to post what you have found, or feel would be useful in diplomatic circles.

Also included, Kody's samples

1 quote:
Where the heck is the ambassador.

2 quote:
Whoops I lost the diplomatic message.

3 quote:
What did you send?
Sooorry I didn't save it.

4 quote:
Sorry that guy was away so we didn't get the message.

5 quote:
I guess my box was full.

6 'Just as I was about to play the turn, my parrot walked across the keyboard and accidently deleted the second follow-up email from you, which you claim reversed the previous poll position. So I played the turn based on the first email.

Please forgive us'

7 'Just as I was about to vote for you for Planetary Governor, as agreed, our Gorilla pressed escape and crashed the game'. When we reopened the game we discovered its big toe seems to have voted for your rival'.

Please forgive us. Heres 5 ecs compensation.'

8 'But we told you, following discussions in our faction ,we decided that key positions would rotate every 4 hours 23 minutes and 15 secs. (Kody can verify that as he monitors faction posting activity with a automatic scanning device). It happened you sent your message to faction members who would not play the turn again for 2 days and 13 hours 12 minutes. I know you sent it to 23 faction members but it was just bad luck that it was the new member's turn to play.'

Please forgive us, here's 2ecs by way of compensation.
