Two part chat with Caledorn, one yesterday about the EP agreement and one today about scout safety. Yesterday:
So we officially have an EP agreement with CFC. We should get an official message from them... someday
. But it's agreed on. We did talk for a few minutes after about the slow pace - there's definite frustration from him and some of their team it seems.
Today's:
I'll edit down a shorter version with just essential info for the turn discussion thread if you give me a couple minutes.

Caledorn: Ah yes, we are in agreement it seems, finally.
scooter: ok great!
Caledorn: I'll send a formal response as well
scooter: sounds great, thanks!

chat with CFC/Caledorn Wrote:scooter: hey, quick question if you have a second.
how's your current knowledge of the land around the desert hill by the stone?
we have a scout in the area that is defogging this area, and if you happen to have visibility on any barbs in the area that would be really helpful
Caledorn: I think it's explored but fogged again. We don't have any units there I think
scooter: ok. how far is that roughly from your nearest borders? we'd like to locate you - just not sure how far we have to walk
Caledorn: Let me look at the screens and count tiles
scooter: ok thanks!
Caledorn: 5-6 tiles between the oasis and our borders depending on the angle you move in
scooter: ok. we're currently on the stone tile, just trying to figure the best way to safely move
Caledorn: Our border is diagonal towards the oasis
scooter: ok
Caledorn: If your goal is to get to us as quickly as possible.. hm.. let me just crosscheck the screens again
3, 3, 6, 3 should put you beside our border
scooter: that's from the stone or oasis?
Caledorn: Whether it's barb safe however, I can't tell
That's from the stone tile
scooter: ok great, thanks. hopefully we can make the mad dash safely
Caledorn: Two of those tiles will be plains, just as a warning[/u]
scooter: hm ok. is there forest/jungle nearby?
oh another question - is there any forest or jungle surrounding that desert hill? we have a scout so it's 2 moves - so if we could land on that rather than a desert hill we get a slightly better defense bonus
Caledorn: From the stone tile: 3 puts you on a hill 3 again puts you on a plain (and there is no safer path - you are forced to move across 2 tiles of plains/grassland no matter how you move), 6 will again put you on a plain, and then 3 is a desert hill
The area is devoid of any forest or jungle :/
scooter: ah too bad. thanks for the info!
Caledorn: No problem. Hopefully you'll make it without any problem
scooter: yep hoping so
Caledorn: The turn players may be aware of fogged barbs that I am not, so I can ask them if you like. It's not like it's going to take you less than several days per move anyways at the current rate..... sighs
scooter: if it's not too much bother, that would be nice. i'm just trying to pass on as much info as possible to our turn players so that we minimize our chance of becoming lion lunch
Caledorn: Will do then :-)
scooter: thanks!
