KG Erwin -> Fleecing the AI GMs in Trades... (7/29/2007 1:41:50 AM)

...can still be done, so some discipline is required. To get something, you gotta give up something. Now, as a personal house rule, trades are on a player for player basis, i.e., no 2 for 3 deals are allowed. So, when the AI responds that "we're getting close to a deal, but we'd want a bit more", you gotta ignore the bait.
That's just me, but to keep a sense of balance in your associations, I'd recommend adopting that rule. Now, that's not to say that can't occasionally finesse a deal, but that requires diplomacy, which is something for Shaun to consider in future.
There may be certain GMs that you can deal with, but, after rejecting their overtures, they might not feel so friendly towards you. Think of the famous examples of the NY Yankee-Boston Red Sox pipeline, and later the Yankee-KC Athletics connection. I've come to find out that the Dodgers & Pirates used to be the same way.
This "willingness to talk" aspect perhaps needs to be worked in. To put it in a less delicate way, every AI GM could have a "f**k you" factor built in.
What do you guys think about this?
