I am watching trade circles on CN forums and NV. Several circles types need wine and lumber. I will find a home eventually. No worries on the cut. :)

I started a new thread in the CN forums advertising for lumber and iron. Going to let the old thread age. Check this one for updates.

I am currently trading only with Jericho and Inquisitor. I have requests out to the others, but they have not accepted. They intend to complete the circle when it is complete, right?

You should use the CN search tool to find countries with lumber and iron. Send personal invites. I just looked and saw at least one brand new nation with lumber and iron and no trade partners yet. You can offer a nation like that a powerful boost right from the start.

Additionally, if any of you have cash, you might want to consider offering to finance a harbor. A new country will need it to join a circle.

Good luck.

I searched and sent invitations to a few folks last night. Maybe someone will take it. I'll make more offers today.

Inquisitor, if it is a matter of buying a harbor, will you be able to sacrifice your aid slot before the NV tech deals start?

I got in to the NV tech program. I'm stoked.

I am only in 3x deals, so I have a spare aid slot.

I've cancelled trade with a white nation, and accepted Kap Verde's trade offer. I've given that white nation early notice some time ago, 1 month plus and he didn't reply so today I just cancelled it with another PM.

Lets send some more invitations. I sent about 5 to blue team members and got nothing. I'll take aqua and yellow teams and see if I can find a match.

Inquisitor, why don't you try black and white teams.

Jericho, have a look at red and white.

There has to be someone with lumber and iron that wants to jump into a complete circle.
We are so close.

So you're confirming we're going outside of our team color for the last two resources? I'll see what I can come up with.

I am canceling trade with SSX Zephir in order to accommodate the last two resources and also search for the nation that has them, hopefully a blue nation.

I am holding off on canceling with Syro until we have the last one.

Hmm guys, I have a little issue here.

NV finally managed to complete a trade circle with resources type A and they PMed me about it asking me if I'm still in.

On the other hand, I'm here trying to complete our own trade circle.

Just don't wanna disappoint ppl I guess. :confused:

I'd tell them you'd pass, as you have already started one with your alliance. But that's me :)

Iron and luber can go just about anywhere they want, so I am not surprised that we haven't found a taker yet.

Do what you have to do. I'd be disappointed, but I understand. You gotta make the best choice for your nation.

Dang, they've started sending their trade offers to me. Dang, how did I forget to post there?!?

One part of me wants to accept and another part of me wants to help our alliance. :smack:

@Jericho

You can help the alliance by growing in a steady trade circle with Nueva Vida.

Thanks for the understanding and support. I'm really feeling guilty as of the moment as I feel like I've betrayed you guys which I hope you guys won't think bad of me. :(

However I think I can draw comfort, at least some with advice and support from you guys in thinking what's best for my nation and helping the alliance by being in a stable trade with NV and so on. It is with this and after a long thinking with myself, that I sadly and regretfully withdraw from our trade circle and will be canceling agreements in a short while.

However, it is with this as well that I am more determined to help complete this trade circle asap as a way of apologizing and carry out my responsibilities. I will keep you guys updated soon. Sorry again and thanks for understanding.

PS : Reading back, I realised I sounded as if I'm leaving SSX which is not happening.... :weird:

Any way you could wait until tomorrow? I am about to have enough citizens for my next improvement, but loosing the fish will complicate that.

Well I think I can do that after my blunder. I'll officially cancel after the server update tomorrow.

I'm not sure about this though but I'm discussing with NV about working out some aid package for you guys, to help you out with the setback.

Ok, I've worked out a deal with NV to help our alliance as well as make up a little at least, for my error.

1. Please select two nations.
2. These two nations will receive 3M each.
3. This 6M is then divided among any number of nations within our alliance as seen fit.
4. The 6M is ready to go out now so just let me know.

This will not be a one time deal. More aids will be given in the future as follow-ups. I hope this will help the young nations in our alliance.

The aid is generous. Jericho, perhaps you should select the recipients. I think you should evaluate the aid needs of the partners you are leaving here. They are going to be most affected by your leaving. After that, I would recommmend surveying our new nations.

Messiah's approach is a reasonable one. As usual.

Who will the aid come from?

I do worry a little that we might lose Chingaria, bigger nations like that seem less inclined to hang around for us small fry types to get our shiznit together.

Good for you Jericho. For real. The aid is great and I would definitely take some, but Messiah is right, you should look at everyone and judge for yourself.

But I'll take some if you like! ;)

Inquisitor is right that we might lose more members of this circle and get back to square one. That would suck.

I got an offer from NV to join a trade circle as well. They have two type A circles where I fit. I am reluctant to leave Inquisitor. I told them I would join if they could find a circle with room for Inquisitor. Jericho, maybe you could ask them to modify a circle to accomodate his Furs and Sugar. Or, better yet, ask them to help manage the formation of our circle. See if there are any nations over at NV that want to participate. With four resources needed right now, we might stand a better chance of getting lumber and iron separately rather than in the same trade.


hmmmmmmmm
