[QUOTE="Lou, post: 4394243, member: 51567"] "[COLOR=Purple][I]'Negotiating'[/I] with such bluster usually leads to rebellion sooner rather than later. Kicking us out of the room based on our reactions to the added terms.... Bluff or not, it bodes poorly for the success of the colony, despite comments to the contrary. The fact is that sheep do not make good colonists! I cannot help but question how such steep conditions by the 5, along with the required increasing taxes previously described, could lead to a stable economy during peacetime. Attacks by the D'Shai Empire would certainly doom the colony under those conditions. The offered terms do not come near to "wealth beyond imagining." But money means little to me. It adds cushion to the adventure. I simply invested the draft given to me. So far the risks were going to be mostly on us, not the 5. They are only putting forth gold, not their lives. Although it sounds like you are going, Lord Archer?[/COLOR]" OOC: Alton is continuing the conversation so others can listen and have cover from his words. JA-So this is your idea of "may be some room for negotiation." :eek: ;) [/QUOTE]
