Trades are probably the most annoying thing left in Atlantik. They popup when 
you least expect it, people always mess up, trades are not discussed.. when 
someone rejects over a technicality one needs to recompose the contents..

I just committed two changes that break trades in monopd--development but will 
eventually fix a lot of problems.

First: players can now alter a player attribute describing their "willingness 
to trade". This prevents useless requests if you're secure about your game, 
or just not ready yet with so much for sale still.

Second: a trade is now just created, and not created with another player.

It is my intention that trades will be created in full by one player, then 
proposed, which Atlantik should handle more non-obtrusively. When players 
don't like a proposal, they just leave it: the proposal itself can be altered 
by the original player or left valid for a while. Players can also create a 
counter proposal by cloning the trade (this leaves the original proposal 
valid).

I don't think many people are really using the Arch versions of 
Atlantik/monopd, but if you are: trades will not work properly for a while.
