31 Dec 20 UTC	Bidding: Greetings
31 Dec 20 UTC	Bidding: Greetings to my neighbor Athens and the Athenian People. Shall we forego hostilities with each other and form an Alliance? As I see it war with you will delay our growth and put us behind the other cities. Any of the remaining opportunistic cities could stomp us both out rather quickly. I would rather work with you to create a true Greek dominance.
31 Dec 20 UTC	Bidding: Greetings Sparta, I find your words offensive and immediately will be coming after you. I sure hope you don't reach out to someone, say Macedonia for instance, to work together against me. Prepare for war. -Definitely the real Athens
31 Dec 20 UTC	Bidding: Sparta, I'm happy to ally with you, I see a fruitful future of an alliance with you
31 Dec 20 UTC	Bidding: Also, does anyone understand what these coins do
31 Dec 20 UTC	Bidding: Macedonia I am merely offering friendship with my neighbor Athens who happens to be at the center of Greek culture. If you are offended I’m sorry. Although I do thank you for allowing the rest of the region to see your needless and reckless aggression. Athens you have to bid on Supply Centers. Click of the “Greek Diplomacy” link up top. It will explain the bidding process.
31 Dec 20 UTC	Bidding: Okay so will you be helping me out against the Macedonians? This will help me out when choosing where to put my bids
31 Dec 20 UTC	Bidding: And are these coins ever replenished
31 Dec 20 UTC	Bidding: After his comment above I will most definitely help you. No it’s a one time bid on this first turn. Also check out the grid of cities on that link and it’ll tell you which SCs get armies or fleets. For the SCs that you bid on and win you won’t get to choose an army or fleet for the initial build so choose wisely. After that everything is normal.
31 Dec 20 UTC	Bidding: If I keep a coin can I bid next year for example?
31 Dec 20 UTC	Bidding: Also, Byzantium, can you help too?
31 Dec 20 UTC	Bidding: Greetings from mighty Xerxes the ruler of Persia. It is enlightening to meet so many different cultures, from which the Persian empire will definitely benefit (one way or another). As a first step, let me reach out in friendship, with the honest hope of establishing a peaceful rapport. Rhodes, not sure about your bidding plans, but I would consider it a massive show of faith if you didn't go for Miletus. Byzantinum - I see some of the others are already trying to get you involved.From my end, a note for you that the Persians have no claim on Ilium at this point in time.
31 Dec 20 UTC	Bidding: @Persia, glad to hear from you too. Will you be going for one of the islands near the AEG? I'd be happy to split them up with you
31 Dec 20 UTC	Bidding: @Rhodes I was looking to go for Samos actually. I heard the beaches are nice there.
31 Dec 20 UTC	Bidding: Athens. Use all the coins now they will disappear after the first turn. “Diplomacy Bidding Start: Each nation starts with their capital city and four tokens to bid for other home centers with. All of the players reveal their bids at once for the biding phase. If a player is the only player to have bid on a supply center then that supply center becomes a home center of that player. If two players bid on the same supply center the player who bid the most on the supply center gets it as their home center. If they bid the same amount on the supply center then the supply center remains neutral. After bidding there is no build phase. All Supply Centers that become a nation's Home Centers will have either a navy or army in the territory. See the following table for a complete overview:”
31 Dec 20 UTC	Bidding: Greetings mighty king of Persia. Good luck to you on your conquests.
31 Dec 20 UTC	Bidding: Sparta, will you be bidding on Ithaca?
31 Dec 20 UTC	Bidding: Sorry @Athens, I think I got confused with the shades of blue here in the chat. I guess you are looking to go for Delos? (My messages to @Rhodes still stand of course.)
31 Dec 20 UTC	Bidding: It’s yours.
31 Dec 20 UTC	Bidding: To my brother rulers, greetings from Rhodes, I find the color coding (without state attribution) a bit confusing. It seems to increase the odds of misunderstandings and contention. Xerxes, I acknowledge your notes regarding Miletus and Samos. Should we conclude that your axes of advance would be toward Halicarnassus and Athens?
