[SPOILERS] Team EggHeads: DMOC and TeddyKGB (Now Lurker-Friendly!)

[TeddyKGB]

And we didn't get Furs btw. Thanks again, Plako.

Were I supposed to give you one?

Don't mind me. I just like to whine sometimes about how poor our land is.
Thank you for the map.

[DMOC]

Interesting stuff about sutOxy.

What do you think of my last message to Team Orgynized? I.e. especially the 7 tile deal? I chose 7 because in the north that means Orgynized can't settle a city east of Leia.

If Asterix is taking a while to respond, then we'll send him a quick message saying we want to deal with Orgynized, but we are willing to hold up our negotiations until we get a response from him?

Dang, our diplomacy needs to be more organized. I'll make a comprehensive post either tomorrow night or Saturday night.

Question to lurkers: how do I use the 'table' stuff that's in the post formatting options?

[TeddyKGB]

I agree completely, we have to organize diplo better.

I'm not sure how Orgy will react on 7 tiles deal and if they react at all. Suttree did mention Orgy doesn't reply to him after LP gone.
We might want to settle city 8 tiles away down south with copper+deer.
If LP was still playing, I suppose we would have some dot map negotiations.

We probably can't agree to NAP without talking borders first.

Speaking of dot map, would you like to do a final one? On the west, on the east and on the south maybe.
We still didn't scout NE near fish tiles but we will on T80.

I'll try to dot map myself also.

Would you like to put cities list on google doc maybe? And screenshot here from time to time.

[TeddyKGB]

Here is a sim file on T79, in case you want to play with domestic.
Beakers/gold are wrong, but its not important since we decide to keep slider at 0% till T84.

[DMOC]

If the turn timer is dragging maybe we should just play before GG ... do you think they are getting suspicious of us?

Diplo update will be coming soon ... as well as future cities (i.e. eighth and beyond).

[TeddyKGB]

Ok, I could play in 30-40 min.
Nice to hear about diplo update, we need one.

I suppose, after Asterix delay reply till Nov,12, we should start talking with Orgy.
We'll see where their warrior moved this turn.

[TeddyKGB]

T79.

UWash founded. It will work Horses for 2 turns and Corn for the next 2 turns, then granary done with 14/22 food stored.
UC put one turn into Axe, next turn we should switch to workboat, so it could improve fish for UWash just the turn borders pop.
MIT start 4t worker, I did shuffle tiles a bit and we are working lake for this turn.
Cornell start Spear just in case, next turn it'll grow size3 and could work copper or flood plains.

Workers near UIllinois split. One go for chop into workboat, 2nd go roading back to the core.
Worker that finished farm put 1t into mine between MIT and UC. Next turn he has options, I was thinking to finish cottage near UC with him, but he could do something else.
Worker at Stanford start our 1st riverside cottage.

Asterix connected Gold.
Yos contact India.
Rome still has no copper or iron on trade screen. No granary in city#2 for them either.
Noone connected 2nd happy resouce, afaik.

I did move 'retep' closer to Rome's border, since we paying 1gpt for supply anyway.
Next turn he could explore around Marble a bit or take a look into Rome's city.
Spear will be on top of the silver next turn.
We probably had to wait with north fish exploration till T84, if I understand mechanic of spawnbusting correct.

Orgy's warrior enter our culture.

Pictures.

[DMOC]

Thanks for playing -- I'll comment later tonight (or more accurately, tomorrow morning) about the turn.

Did we agree with Orgynized about sending a unit to scout? We should send them a reminder that they should scout the northernmost tiles, and we should also include in our message that we're going to send them a longer one with a diplo update soon (that longer message will be my job).

[TeddyKGB]

Yep, we kinda agree but with some conditions.

Our msg.

Right now our scout is close to your NorthWest borders, so we are humbly asking you to let him through.
His goal is to defog northern coast for possible sea trade routes, not to scout your core.
I'm asking you to let him through with following conditions:
- We will follow your instructions how to move our scout inside your culture. As I said, our goal is to defog nothern coast, nothing else.
- We won't share any info our scout could get while inside your culture with any other teams.
- If you like to send a scouting unit through our land to contact India, we will gladly agree with the same conditions in mind.

Orgy's reply

We're a bit surprised at your request to send a scout through our land only a few turns after making a no-scouting agreement. However, we'll accept on the condition that he sticks exclusively to the northernmost possible tiles at all times during his journey east. (This is presumably close to what you'd want to do anyway to uncover the coast.) We trust you'll also return the gesture by granting passage to an exploratory unit of ours at a later date.

GG played right after me and logout right after turn rolled. So he wanted the 2nd half of the turn?
I'll login shortly just to take a look, won't move any units.

[TeddyKGB]

T80 news. Didn't move any units.

There is no units of Rome to be seen.
Antium finished granary. It wasn't there last turn if I'm not mistaken.
Still no Iron or Copper for Rome.
Still 0EP on us.

Most interesting thing - Rome contacted India. 0EP on them either. I suppose Rome is set to attack Dinos but we'll see.
