Sure.
"Hello there. Who and how are you?"

[Origami_Psycho]

(Adwarf, lets do some diplomacy!)
Greetings representatives of House Argonian, we are but humble envoys for the leaders of our glorious nation.

[adwarf]

"Welcome my friends to the lands of House Argonian, it is a pleasure to meet people from your faction after all we've heard since leaving our old home. Please forgive the ramshackle look of our new found home, there is not much I can do to improve a land that must cater to 10,000 people in so short a time. Any who lets move off such sad things and to more important matters, may I ask what it is you wish to do here?"

[Origami_Psycho]

We desire to cultivate a strong diplomatic, economic, and military relationship with you, so both our peoples can prosper far into the future.  Also, if you can spare some iron, it would be greatly appreciated, since we need to build a generator and have few materials with which to do so.  Anything we can offer in return we will be more than happy to provide you with, whether it be materials, information, or manpower.

Admiral Mask, upon hearing that HTI had sent an envoy, including Phil himself, dresses for the occasion. Donning an expensive looking Tux and Rhinestone studded Ski-Mask, he heads to the bridge of his destroyer and gives orders to allow Phil and a few of his bodyguards aboard to meet him.

---

"Just tickled thank you. I had no idea that you would have the moxie to come visit me in person! Made my day right there!"

Mask gestures to the controls. "Please do have a seat at either the wheel or the weapon controls, and enjoy the view. I'm sure we have much to talk about and may be here for awhile."

[GreatWyrmGold]

Phil sits at the wheel--less threatening.

"Mind if I ask why you were trying to contact people? Might as well start there."

[Weirdsound]

"We were trying to contact you in specific. You are bigger than us, and we have a justly earned reputation for violence and mayhem. I was just hoping we could agree to go about our business without quarrel.

I don't want to be invaded by a population much larger than my own, and you don't want to wake up one morning to find this monster shelling your settlement. I think some sort of non-aggression pact would help us both sleep easier."

RE: Lets not murder each other...

We are neighbors (I think based on the written descriptions of our locations. If not, disregard this message) I have a destroyer. You have a huge population that could potentially overwhelm us. Should we fight the consequences would be rather nasty for the both of us. I cordially invite you to stay alive and sign a 'lets not fuck with each other' pact.

I do think that in the long run an alliance between a large faction with research and industrial capabilities, and a hardened group of raiders makes sense. I will not however ask you to consider that now, after all you can't be expected to trust bastards like us right off the bat.

Cheers,

-Mask; Admiral, Emperor, and God of Neptune's Hand

RE: Ummm... This is awkward

I was hoping your would respond to my previous message quickly, and sign a non-agression pact before hunger drove me to attack other settlements, perhaps giving you a poor first impression of us.... Still, pay no heed to the fate that may befall our other neighbors. Attacking somebody with your industrial capability and population would be stupid, so I would never do so unprovoked.

Still, lets hurry up and formally agree not the screw with each other, before our subordinates turn to fear-mongering to turn our people against each other.

Cheers,

-Mask; Admiral, Emperor, and God of Neptune's Hand

[GreatWyrmGold]

((I had forgotten))

"Well, I certainly think nonaggression is a good idea, but I can hardly condone you waging war on others unprovoked...but let's not worry about that just yet. Let's move onto other considerations. Have you found any natural resources worth mention?"

[Weirdsound]

"Eh. Once we get established and have the means to do so, I do intend to switch to some more civilized forms of pillage and control."

Mask stares out to sea and fiddles with a dial on the (powered off) weapons system. "As for the resources... I spotted whales the other day. Not sure if there are enough to be considered as a sustainable food source, but could be good enough to hold us over until we are extablished..."

The admiral offers a chuckle. "I got a feeling you were asking about minerals though... I was just about to order my hovercrafts to explore inland and look into that. If you want to send 25 or so men to tag along and take notes, we can decide how to split the resources we find like gentlemen."

[GreatWyrmGold]

"Sure. I'm trying to set up an industrial base, resources are vital.
Um...mind letting me know before you invade anyone? This may be waived if they attack first, but let me know ASAP. Is this fine?"

[Weirdsound]

"Of course. I'll tip you off. I don't think I plan on destroying more than a few more settlements. Once we are properly feared we should be able to get alot of what we want without violence. But yeah, I'll keep you informed."

Mask laughs. "Yeah. We could all use a bit of industry. We could both afford an arms build up. Have you heard those transmissions from the Royal Marines? If they have even half your population and a quarter of their hardware from back on earth, they could take this whole continent by breathing hard.... I'm just glad we were able to triangulate them on another landmass."

[GreatWyrmGold]

"Yeah, that's...wait, more? What have you already done?"

[Weirdsound]

"There are... erm were... two settlements to the south of us. I lay siege to one with the destroyer until it payed up. The other one was smaller than even me... lets just say it no longer exists."
