Don't even joke. I'll attack you in 34s and then join a bunch of games with you just so I can rush you. lol

In non-Trolls news, Menagerie responded quickly (yay!):

Menagerie Wrote:Gillette,

We are sorry to hear that your scout was unjustly destroyed by TEAM. We do not approve of such proceedings. Therefore, you may be interested, that TEAM's scout is currently going in your direction. He is now (turn 28) on a forested hill SW, SW, SW, S of our capital and is heading south. We are sure you know the lay of the land there and will be able to roughly predict the next movements of TEAM's scout and possibly avenge your scout's death.

Yours sincerely,
Managerie Trois

Weird little chat from Darrell:

Quote:Darrell: hey
so apparently I'm banned from chats
I guess I gave too much info away, but we'll reply via e-mail
scooter: hah that's funny. too much info? i don't think you said anything surprising..?
Darrell: yeah that's what I said
its not like it wasn't obvious
scooter: reason I caught you in chat was because the gold thing was so obvious, so why dance around it. just get to the point real quick.
Darrell: indeed

Weird that his team thinks he said too much anyways. The original chat again is here: http://realmsbeyond.net/forums/showpost....tcount=149. Re-reading, I'm not sure what piece of info they were not keen on sharing. Literally the only thing they told us was that they planned on settling the gold. So? Do they think we're going to race them for that gold or something? I don't get it. Anyways, I'm expecting an email reply from Trolls shortly giving us the location of the gold city. Let's hope.

I don't know why we need them to not settle the deer? Obviously 2N of the gold is bad for us, but what about 1NE of the gold? That spot is certainly fine for them, and allows us to get the other three foods in the area (settling the plains 2N1E of the corn gives us all the foods, along with a river and possibly other stuff in the fog). It certainly seems better than demanding they settle a spot where they could have no food (that's a lot of fog, but you never know :/ ).

Great work getting Darrell to say more than he should, even if we can't figure out what! I read the chat as him asking where we'd be happy for them to plant the city. Maybe that was it?

Anyway would a message saying we'd like to offer them the spot 2e of the gold and we'd guarantee not to settle 1w of the gold to make it more attractive (although we'd want to claim the deer eventually) be too pushy? I think they'd be pleased to get it for no diplo hit with us and might even change plans to keep us happy?

I haven't read much by Darrell et al yet though so I could be way off...

Also, we should thank Menagerie for the info, and maybe say something about how we regret not having anything in the area to intercept the scout, just in case Menagerie is playing both sides and feeding info back to TEAM.

Draft to Menagerie:

Gillette Wrote:Menagerie,

We would like to thank you for your condolences and the intel on TEAM's scout. We really appreciate the scout location in particular smile. We would really like to get some revenge and kill it, but we're not quite sure if we'll be able to trap it or not. Have they been any nicer to you? Unfortunately we have not yet met Pirates, and we may not for quite some time now that our scout is dead.

Gillette

Thoughts? I chose not to directly lie about having no units in the area because they could very well have a unit in the area too and see us, which would expose us as having lied to them. So I went for something vague. I also threw in the Pirates mention right after the TEAM question as just a general comment that we're looking for info on them as nobody seems to have any yet. If they have any, hopefully they share it.

Sounds good to me - how about adding "but we're not quite sure if we'll be able to trap it - if you see which way it goes this turn that would be a great help." or something?

I like it thumbsup. Any other comments?
