Intersite Game - Turn Discussion Thread

[scooter]

Maybe it's totally slipping my mind, but why again do we not have Open Borders with CivPlayers? I know we agreed on it back during the massive chat awhile back, and I don't remember when that changed exactly.

If we agreed to it, then nobody told the turn players...

[Sullla]

We agreed to it? I'm pretty sure we requested Open Borders from them and they turned us down. I'm happy to re-offer in game if they actually did agree to OB.

Everyone wanted the swap to war chariot, so I changed in-game and ended our turn.

Yeah, back from the chat:

[2:37:21 PM] Decebal So, I'll agree to Open Borders (again! hopefuly you're noticing it ) and I'm also asking a question which will hopefuly be answered straight.
[2:37:23 PM] scooter from our perspective, we would not really gain much from OB as I explained. however, we're definitely willing to sign them if you would profit from routes with us
[2:37:52 PM] scooter this is where I think we got mixed up in our last few emails
[2:38:21 PM] Decebal Do you have any precise military plans for the next period?
[2:38:43 PM] scooter but when it comes to "gains" for us, we don't see OB as a serious gain. but we have some a few large ciites that would yield very nice routes, and I think those would help you guys. (though I can't say for sure as I don't know your trade route situation)
[2:39:02 PM] scooter precise, no. but of course we throw around ideas.
[2:39:21 PM] Decebal I do, trust me, we don't have gains from ob as much as you. (hopefuly not none)
[2:39:30 PM] Decebal but i have already agreed to open the borders for trade

I'm not sure how I didn't notice before now that we never actually got the borders opened. Now granted, Right of Passage was not going to be allowed so it's not like it helps us out here, but Decebal definitely agreed to give us OB.

Edit: scooter too fast!

Pretending that the right hand knows not what the left is doing is a perfectly fine diplomatic strategy

[Boldly Going Nowhere]

Since we have agreed to open borders, do you think it would be possible to get a one time exception to the no scouting agreement to move our western axe through the new city to continue exploring toward CivFr?

[Sullla]

I requested Open Borders in-game. If they accept, we can move right through their territory to the other side (outside their borders) via forest tile in one turn, and I have every intention of doing so.

I would agree with this. It is hard to call that scouting when we saw them dump the city underneath us. And, we weren't jerks and didn't murder their unescorted settler. If they complain maybe mention that.
