Pirates doing Diplomacy?

I got this email today from GES:

Quote:Pirates,

Would you allow us to DoW you so our scout can pass through your culture?

It appears this would behoove both of us because you haven't had much opportunity to scout south of you yet either.

TEAM

That should be fine, right?

Paranoia is telling me that they are planning on scouting our capital so they can Warrior choke us. Can't they just go around the lake? Why do they want to scout our lands so badly?
More people have been to Berlin than I have.

They already have eyes on our capital (though how I still am not totally sure). I don't see any issue with them declaring war to pass through. Besides, since our Quechuas start with Combat I, we're an extremely poor choice to warrior choke, so I doubt they'd try that.

Oh okay, thanks. In that case, let them through.

Ok, replied:

Sure, no problem!
We might ask the same of you in the near future.

Cheers,
Nakor

Got to keep our options open.

Nakor, how go things on the diplomatic front?
Please don't go. The drones need you. They look up to you.

I had a brief chat with Lewwyn tonight. Big news, our southern neighbor is Team Orgy AKA LP.

Settling a city on that grassland hill for ivory/gold/corn/cattle looks really appealing. TEAM wants to hammer out a border agreement and for us both to focus on settling southward. Given the potential city between us and LP, I am all in favor of that. Lewwyn also asked for the latest screenshot of our scouting, which I provided:

Here's the full chat with Lewwyn, spoilered for length:

8:59 PM
lewwyn: hey

me: Yo

lewwyn: can I rbdemo game diplo with you?
9:00 PM
me: I don't have a ton of time at the moment, but what's up?

Have something in mind?
9:01 PM
lewwyn: yeah you know your southern neighbor?
9:02 PM
me: Not yet, we haven't scouted very far in that direction

lewwyn: yeah figured

well I'll give you the scouting in that direction

LP's team
9:03 PM
their cap is 11 tiles from your cap

me: A might closer than I would have thought

lewwyn: kinda hoping you'd go jihading

yeah especially given our 16 tiles between us
9:04 PM
me: Well, a little early to make any fim decisions on that front

BUt there is no great love for LP on our team

lewwyn: I want to draw up a border agreement between our teams so that you can focus on settling towards them
9:05 PM
and we'll focus on settling towards our neighbor allowing us both to backfill towards each other in peace without worry
9:06 PM
me: We haven't yet drawn up a comprehensive dotmap, though we are planning on settling our second city nearby to the southeast

I think we're of a like mind though
9:07 PM
that corn/cows/ivory/gold pink dot on the gl hill looks pretty appealing

Let me most a map of the territory between us, let the team dotmap it
9:08 PM
you guys do the same, and Nakor can get in touch with you guys and hammer out something that works for both of us

lewwyn: okay

turns are moving slow so time isn't too much of an issue

but I definately wanted to get this out to you
9:09 PM
hopefully you can settle that pink dot on them without even having met them
9:10 PM
though thats pretty "perfect world" scenario

can you guys send an updated map of what you've scouted to your SE and what I guess is the center of the map?
9:11 PM
me: Sure, I

'll login to the game later tonight and shoot you an email with a screen

some kind of body of water in the 'center' of the map

though it may just be a glorified lake

lewwyn: hmmm dohnutty
9:12 PM
me: that's what we thought

lewwyn: I'm going to go ahead and post this chat in our forum too

me: I will do likewise
9:13 PM
lewwyn: I'll let you get on your way

wink

me: alrighty

take care!

lewwyn: later

So, we need a tentative dotmap to negotiate with them over, and we need Nakor to do the negotiating.

I doubt we'll beat them to that spot. Maybe we could try to negotiate for the northern Gold and Corn.
More people have been to Berlin than I have.

Maybe we should send our first settler directly to that hill 1W of the corn. THat would be a bold pink dot...
Reply

Maybe we negotiate for a city say 1E of the corn for ourselves?
