I give up on this circle; I'm gonna try for a 5BR.

We've got a sixth member! Kazoo of Auzzieland has agreed to join our trade circle. I suggest we all give notice to our current trade partners that we'll be dropping trades, then start the circle on Friday the 21st of November. I'm also going to send a message to each of you saying basically the same thing, in case you don't check this topic.

CH3LC3Y: sorry, I have uranium myself, and I'm running this show. Herbert: sure, why not? I've messaged everyone on aqua who has aluminum and marble; also messaged a bunch of other nations (about 20) in case they'd be willing to switch. I suggest everyone in the circle go ahead notify their trade partners about dropping trades within a few days.

Bumping since I've gotten two people to join (although they haven't posted here, they've PM'd my nation about it.

Aluminum: Kazoo Wildcard 1: Cattle: Tyler III Coal: Tyler III Iron: Harper Lumber: easyparajuli Marble: Kazoo Oil: easyparajuli Rubber: Wildcard 2: Silver: Harper Uranium: Edit: we had someone drop out. We can still form the circle as-is until we find someone with good resources to join (meaning either wheat or fish, or preferably both.) Edit: I suggest we stop bumping this thread; I'll create a new thread looking for a final member. In the meantime, let's get to trading amongst ourselves, shall we? Edit: I'm dropping out of the trade circle because we can't get a 6th and it's driving me crazy and I've been advised to try for a 5BR anyway.

I think people would be happy enough without the silver and gems; all that gets is jewelry. Plus, if we take out the silver and gems, we open up two wildcard slots, making it easier to get a complete trade circle. Ideally, one of the wildcards would be wheat (best resource in the game), and the other either fish or water (the latter would give beer.) But for just getting a trade circle, I say we drop silver/gems as requirements and just have two wildcard slots. Besides, +happy doesn't help nearly as much as the +citizens from, e.g., wheat or fish. (edit: having two wildcards not only makes it easier to get people who fit the circle, but if they turn out to be good wildcards, it'll improve the quality of the circle, and more people will *want* to join.)

I've got rubber and uranium. Finally, a trade circle that needs both! I'm Aqua at the moment but can change if needed. I'd like to suggest that once we have 6 people, we wait a day or two so we can all warn our current trading partners.

Got a 5th trade partner; post deleted.

I currently am at 22.36 happiness; but my nation's 20 days old and I have a net -1 from events, plus I don't have any bonus resources yet.
