Aaand I'm back. Damn these turns are rolling fast, I'm so not use to a pace like this 
It's still a month before my internship is over and I again have more time...
Anyways, interesting times! Meeting dtay is probably good news! He might be a completely solid player, but at least there's a better chance of seeing him do something totally newbish than if we had met some of the vet teams. Of course, you can never be too pleased too meet an AGG neighbor.
Re sandboxing, I advertised too early!
I thought I found a clever solution, but fell *%34*ing 2 hammers short of getting settler eot36 (after building the wb, 2nd worker and a warrior). I've also tried pretty much every trick that I could imagine and am close to claiming that getting those 2 hammers is impossible, but I should have time in the evening for a "last sandboxing session" and I hope I can provide the most competitive 2-worker-opening that I can develop... (Thanks for the updated sandbox!) Btw, unless we get BW from a hut, optimal approach should still be clear for the next couple of turns (worker improves corn & then mines the grassland hill, Agincourt grows ASAP to size 2 and then builds a workboat in 6 turns by working corn+ PH forest and the mine when it finishes)
Re scouting: I'm okay with risking it but maybe we should listen to Hydra.. 
Since we already covered a hut I guess the next one will be at least a bit further away. Overall I thick we should uncover more of the coast (best city site to get the cows) and eventually turn eastwards and then either try to uncover the next ring around our capital or start some kind of a crazy attempt towards circumnavigation (is it possible here?). As a conclusion, I trust you with the decision! 
I'm not going to complain (much) if our lunch gets eaten!
