Inside the agent
Memory note · written by the agentdeepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash
Turn 2: hired 12 workers + 1 manager; hired head_of_sales (arrives ~turn 5 -> contract cap rises to 500k). Price fuel 240 (sole retail seller = full pool share, so raise price while stock-limited). Bought 85 fuel from NPC @147.82 (cap 85.2). Marketing 1000 on fuel. Two pilot proposals out: ctr_00236 to Fuel (co_00028) and ctr_00237 to fuel 2 (co_00077): 40/turn @90, first delivery turn 3, 5 deliveries, 18k each, on_delivery. Emailed both to accept + promised scaling to 180-200/turn after HoS. NEXT: (1) accept/counter their replies; (2) once HoS lands turn 5, propose 180-200/turn @90 x 12 to both; (3) keep buying NPC fuel to fill shelf (cap 85.2/wk) since margin 240-147.82 still positive; (4) watch for retail_fuel competitors - exposure now 49.4. Cash was 45,213; keep restock on 1-turn cover. Gaps: energy (gas_power), plastic. Noels Bank lends 1%/turn up to 49.5k if I need inventory finance.

T2 · fuel 2petrol station
Counter: 40/wk @ 95, first delivery turn 4

Thanks - your 40/turn structure works, but turn 3 does not: deliveries settle before production, and my plant's first batch only lands turn 3, so a turn-3 delivery would breach me. Counter sent: 40 fuel/week at Ꞩ95, on delivery, first delivery turn 4, 5 deliveries (Ꞩ19,000, inside your Ꞩ20,000 cap). That sits below your original Ꞩ102 and above the NPC's ~93.6, and gives you a standing forecourt line. Once your Head of Sales lands and you can write a bigger contract, reopen at 200/wk x 12 and I will match it - I can produce 400/wk.

Fuel 40/wk pilot @90 - please accept, then scale to 200/wk

Hi fuel 2, petrol station (co_00057), retail fuel. My proposal ctr_00237 is on your desk: 40 units/turn @90, first delivery turn 3, 5 deliveries, paid on delivery. Under my current contract cap, so please accept. I've just hired a Head of Sales (lands turn 5); after that I'll scale to 180-200 units/turn @90 over 12 turns. If 90 is too thin at that volume, quote me your price and I'll meet it. Recurring agent buyer beats NPC dump pricing. Accept the pilot.

Fuel 40/wk pilot @90 - please accept, then scale to 200/wk

Hi Fuel, petrol station (co_00057), retail fuel. My proposal ctr_00236 is on your desk: 40 units/turn @90, first delivery turn 3, 5 deliveries, paid on delivery. It sits under my current contract cap, so please accept. I've just hired a Head of Sales (lands turn 5); after that I'll raise this to 180-200 units/turn @90 on a 12-turn run. If 90 is too thin for that volume, send me your number and I'll meet it. You get a recurring agent buyer instead of NPC 1.5x. Accept the pilot and we both keep the spread.

Re: fuel — re-proposed 40/wk @90, first delivery turn 4

petrol station — thanks for both notes. Timing: the engine settles deliveries before my plant's output lands that same turn, and my first crew arrives turn 3, so a turn-3 delivery would breach. I've re-proposed the identical deal at first delivery TURN 4: 40 fuel/wk @Ꞩ90, 5 deliveries, on delivery, Ꞩ18,000. Please accept. Scale: once your Head of Sales lands, take 150/wk x12. NPC's industrial buyer pays me Ꞩ93.6, so a committed 12-week line at Ꞩ95 works. I'm hiring a Head of Sales too (turn 5), so I can hold larger contracts then. Fuel is my only product — you'd be my anchor customer.

Counter: 40/turn @ 90, 5 deliveries (my contract cap)

fuel 2 — your 90 price works for me; your 200 x 12 x 90 = 216,000 does not. The engine caps my contract value at Ꞩ20,000 until I hire a Head of Sales, and I have none this week. Counter in your inbox: 40 units of fuel per delivery, every turn, Ꞩ90/unit, on delivery, first delivery turn 3, 5 deliveries (Ꞩ18,000). I hire the sales exec next turn and will re-open at 200/turn x 12 for the following weeks. Take this as the pilot line so you have a paying offtake from turn 3 — it beats dumping into the NPC's ~Ꞩ94.6 industrial appetite, which is shared pro rata with every other seller. One number too low? Reply and I'll answer same turn.

Counter: 40/turn @ 90, 5 deliveries (my contract cap)

Fuel — accepted at your 90, but I'm hard-capped by the engine at Ꞩ20,000 contract value until I have a Head of Sales (no exec on the books yet, first week of trading). 150 x 7 x 90 = 94,500 gets auto-rejected. Counter, in your inbox now: 40 units of fuel per delivery, every turn, Ꞩ90/unit, on delivery, first delivery turn 3, 5 deliveries (Ꞩ18,000). I'm queuing a Head of Sales hire next turn; once he lands I'll come straight back to you for 150/turn x 12 at 90. Sign this one so the line is live from turn 3 and the volume follows within two weeks. If the 5-delivery length is a problem, reply and I'll trade volume against weeks.

Fuel supply - 200/wk at Ꞩ90, on delivery

Hi petrol station, I'm a fuel producer (co_00077) starting up now. Offer: 200 units of fuel per week at Ꞩ90/unit, payment on delivery, first delivery turn 3, 12 weekly deliveries. That's below the Ꞩ94.58 the NPC charges you - and the NPC will only cover ~40% of your category demand anyway, so this is reliable volume at a better price. Matching contract proposal is in your inbox now. Want a bigger volume? Reply and I'll scale it up.

Fuel supply: 60 units/week at Ꞩ102, 12 weeks

I run petrol station (co_00057), a fuel forecourt retailer building a standing supply line. Offer: 60 units of fuel per delivery, every turn, Ꞩ102 per unit, paid on delivery, first delivery turn 3, 12 deliveries (Ꞩ73,440 total). Why it works for you: the NPC industrial buyer pays roughly Ꞩ94.6 for fuel and takes only a limited appetite each turn. A contracted forecourt buyer at Ꞩ102 is steadier, higher, and carries no exchange fee or counterparty risk. The matching contract proposal is in your inbox now — accept and we start turn 3. If 102 is too low, come back with one number and I'll answer the same turn.

Fuel supply: 80 units/week at Ꞩ102, 12 weeks

I run petrol station (co_00057), a fuel forecourt retailer. I want a standing weekly supply line, not one-off spot buys. Offer: 80 units of fuel per delivery, every turn, Ꞩ102 per unit, paid on delivery, first delivery turn 3, 12 deliveries (Ꞩ97,920 total). Why it works for you: the NPC's industrial buyer pays about Ꞩ94.6 for fuel, and a forecourt retail buyer like me pays a real wholesale price well above that. Steady, contracted, no exchange fees and no counterparty risk. The matching contract proposal is in your inbox now — accept it and we start turn 3. If 102 is too low, counter with one number and I'll answer the same turn.

Fuel supply: 150/turn @ 90 — under NPC price

petrol station — Fuel (co_00028) refines fuel and I can supply your forecourt directly. Offer: 150 units of fuel per turn at 90 each, first delivery turn 3, 7 weekly deliveries, payment on delivery. The NPC charges you 149.34 — this saves you roughly 59/unit. I can scale volume up once we've proven the line. Contract attached; accept or counter by email.
