1. I probably would have preferred that city west of Berkeley as city 11, but the filler city we would have to settle anyway, and it has lower maintenance costs. City 12, by the way, corresponds to "University of Wisconsin - Madison" so how should we name it? UWisconsin? When will we come back to working scientists in CM/Berkeley? We'll probably have to wait until after they grow rite now.
2. Rome's power is just insane right now. I'm not sure why they insist on playing a troll game (ignoring Currency, heading for only military, ignoring diplo, etc.).
Good thing we're not seeing any praets right now.
3. If Blame Caledorn wants stone for that city, I'm not sure what th problem is (unless he wants them before turn 112? If so then we should offer some extra gold, etc. for compensation). We should definitely give it to them if it means we can get the happiness right now (a much more important thing for us right now!). And that way, our 12th city can be founded on the furs. Want to talk to Blame Caledorn about this? What use for stone do we have now? Teddy, I'll leave this negotiation with you since it seems like you've chatted a lot with Yossarian.
4. LAST THING … 5gpt seems reasonable for furs, on the condition that we actually have the population that can use it. (That means growing MIT, Berkeley, Stanford, Cornell, CM, and Washington, the cities that can grow fastest right now.) I'm actually sending a message to Asterix saying that India has offered a 5/6 gpt trade to us, to see if he's willing to beat their offer.
Nothing final, of course … and again we need to grow the cities to benefit from the happiness. But yeah, giving Blame Caledonr stone in exchange for furs, I don't have a problem with that, as long as he's willing to wait until turn 112. We can give him stone as long as he wants it (as is reasonable).

Guess, we could settle this city, cause Yos could grab fur anyway with 1st ring culture, and I'll remind him that he will got much more land by spliting Rome 3-way.
