Do we have enough, or almost enough, to construct on of these?

Yes, we have more than enough on both fronts. If we set up a 5x5, it would take care of all our smaller nations, and our two remaining buyers and Zeph, who at 3200 infra is in tech deal limbo, could join an NV deal.

Buyers:
Isileth
Messiah
Ed
Wachter (Not currently in the 3x3)
Jericho (Not currently in the 3x3)
Adrian (Not currently in the 3x3)
Vince (Not currently in the 3x3)

Borderline:
Zeph (Not currently in the 3x3) - Can still sell until 3999, but could probably buy at this point. Neither is particularly profitable.

Sellers:
Kahn
Wulfie
Syros
FalconX (Not currently in the 3x3)
Oz (Not currently in the 3x3)

I believe Messiah is currently in a 3x3 over at NV as well due to his 6 slots, would you be ok dropping that to form a 5x5 over here?

Sounds like we can do it, and would address our "keep it in the family" growth question.

Can someone who remembers how it works post what the exchange would look like? Guess we need to ping the folks who don't regular the forums in game? Unless we can get them to post here?

Will this work then? Looks like we need to save to have the 15 million ready for the next cycle :)

Buyer 1- Isileth
Buyer 2-Messiah
Buyer 3- Inquisitor
Buyer 4- Wachter
Buyer 5- Jericho

Seller 1- Kahn
Seller 2- Wulfie
Seller 3- Syros
Seller 4- FalconX (Not currently in the 3x3)
Seller 5- Oz (Not currently in the 3x3)

Do the buyers all have 5 trade slots?

Messiah, do you want to transition the 3x3 to this?

I can do this, but I won't have 5 open slots for two weeks. If you want to abandon me in favor of someone who can join in more immediately, go ahead. Otherwise, I am game in a few weeks.

I would think it would be best if Adrian, Vince, Jericho, Wachter, and Zeph were the buyers in this deal, as they are our smaller buyers. Ed, Messiah, and Isi are our top 3 people in the alliance, and our bankers. They can do 3x3s over at NV, which to my understanding Messiah is already doing, and still have some aid slots left over to help with the aidfall to the guys who are really lagging behind.

What do you guys think about that?

Kahn, I am fine with your suggestion. I love to buy tech, but it is a better idea to increase the strength of our mid range nations right now. I suggest those of us at the top find a deal where we can, and concentrate on bolstering our militaries. Aside from me, the rest of you look a bit anemic. Remember, there are limits to who you can attack based upon strength. If we were all within a similar strength range, we could protect each other in war. As it stand, I doubt I could attack anyone below inquisitor's strength. If our mid-range nations come under attack, all I can do is funnel aid.

Anyway, I don't have a lot of time the next month to orchestrate these deals. Tell me what you need me to do and I will do it. My second deal over at NV was a cadet deal, and it looks like it is done. I'll have the slot for whatever is needed, tech deal or aidfall.

Aye that will work out better for the alliance as a whole.

Problem is NV seems to have run out of nations to sell tech so either we need some new recruits here or try more fertile dealing grounds.

Are we still doing the 3x3 tomorrow and starting the 5x5 at the next available date, or are we holding off on all tech deals until everyone has their slots clear?

I am ok either way (though under Messiah's proposal, I wouldn't be participating in the 5x5 ;) )

I don't have time to organize it. Ideally, someone involved should oversee it.

Volunteers?

I've spent my morning trying to find the best way to make sure everyone in the alliance is having their needs met, and allowing for maximum alliance growth. I have decided, after both a look at the needs of the alliance and commentary by multiple people as to the practicality of a 5x5 deal, to scrap our plans for the 5x5.

Instead, I have decided to organize all of us into three simultaneous 3x3 deals, consisting of all 13 members of the SSX, and 5 members of The Galactic Republic, a fairly new alliance consisting of many old friends and returning players. One of the deals, which will include our three largest and three smallest nations, will be at a reduced rate of 3 mil per 50 tech designed to bolster the smaller members. The other two deals will be along the lines of what we have been doing so far, at 3mil per 100 tech. Here is a rough layout of things so far.

3x3 @ 3/50

Ed --3 mil-> Oz
Mess --3 mil-> Syro
Isi --3 mil-> Wulfie

Oz --50 tech-> Isi
Syro --50 tech-> Ed
Wulfie --50 tech-> Mess


3x3 @ 3/100

Jericho --3 mil-> FalconX
Adrian --3 mil-> Kahn
Wachter --3 mil-> Brotherlouie27

Kahn --50 tech-> Jericho and Wachter
FalconX --50 tech-> Wachter and Adrian
Brotherlouie27 --50 tech-> Jericho and Adrian


3x3 @ 3/100

Vince --3 mil-> Chimaera
Zeph --3 mil-> Roymustang
TGR-Buyer Needed --3 mil-> ErrantVenture

Roymustang --50 tech-> Vince and TGR-Buyer Needed
Chimaera --50 tech-> Zeph and TGR-Buyer Needed
ErrantVenture --50 tech-> Vince and Zeph


When this is finalized a new thread will be posted and stickied. Presuming, of course, that everyone thinks this is a good course of action. If not, feel free to speak up.

Would definitely seem the way to go if we can get enough people to do it.
