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

[DMOC]

Here's a draft of an opening message to Orgynized.

Team Orgynized,

Hello! Our warrior has finally found your civilization's borders. We're sure that other teams have told you that we're neighbors --- and we are-- so apologies for our late contact. We needed to keep this warrior around for barbarian protection until we obtained sufficient defenses for our cities.

Anyway, we'd first like to congratulate your on your strong opening with Stonehenge, possibly a religion and maintaining a respectable rate of expansion. While our scouts haven't been able to completely reveal all the land between us, it looks like there's still room for both of us to place cities between our capitals. At the moment, we've been settling in a mostly north-south direction, trying to both get the benefit of the coast above and the resources down south.

Say, about the map, here's what we suspect:

1. It's a continents-style map, with northern and southern landmasses. Ours appears to be the southern one. Of course, it's toroidal, so we can probably meet the other continent's civilizations soon.
2. In our landmass, we have the following civilizations in order, starting and ending with us: EggHeads - CareBears - MM/Asterik - Sut/Oxy - Orgynized - EggHeads.
3. Everyone started next to a lake, with a nearby gold resource.
4. There are rare luxuries (e.g., fur, silver) down south, and Calendar resources near the north of the continent.

Upon meeting you, we now have contact with all other civilizations on this landmass. Out of curiosity, how many civilizations have you made contact with, and have you been able to determine a way to meet the civilizations on the other continent/landmass? We are only now beginning to send workboats out to explore the seas, so we cannot say much yet.

Speaking of this continent, it looks like we're both in the "good" continent. By that, I mean we avoided Rome and Sumeria, and it looks like we might be able to remain peaceful for now while hoping that the other civilizations get bogged with early warfare. Lovely news! Unfortunately, this also means that the strongest civilizations will also be near us. Right now, we are on friendly terms with Team Care Bears (India) but we are concerned about their rapid rate of expansion. According to our notes, we were the second team to reach four cities (on turn 58), but on turn 59, Care Bears settled their seventh city (and then got The Oracle on turn 60)! If you're as worried as we are about this, feel free to talk to us and we'll see if we can work something out. We are also on friendly terms with Team MM/Asterik and Team SutOxy, and hopefully can develop the same kind of foreign relationship with Orgynized.

Last but not least, we can finally talk about diplomacy between our teams. We're not interested in early warfare, and we hope that you are as well. With that in mind, we would like to offer a Non-Aggression Pact up to turn 90 (30 turns from now). In addition, we also propose an Open Borders agreement. If you would like to talk about negotiating a fair border agreement, please let us know. Even if we don't want to talk about this, you'll be glad to know that we don't have any current plans to settle further west in your direction.

Finally, if there's anything else we can do to benefit both of us, we should do so. One way is by possibly sharing wonder plans. While we understand you'll have the advantage due to being the only Industrious civilization, we have also found a nearby wonder resource that we might soon connect. Currently, we don't have plans, and we assume that you don't too after getting Stonehenge and after Care Bears got The Oracle. Still, The Pyramids is available ....

We are looking forward to your response. Please do not share the above information with any other civilization.

Sincerely,
DMOC of Team EggHeads (DMOC and Teddy only right now)

The turn flipped, so I'll check things out (move scout into SutOxy if possible) but will hold off on Orgynized contact until we agree on a message to them. Team Care Bears got the Oracle.

Edit:

What msg you refer to?
I've sended too much already
You can void any of my msg, saying it was unexperienced drunk player mail.

I was talking about our latest message to Asterix, about suggesting early war vs Care Bears.
