Agreed, we have script and 30-33% water specified, rest can be mapmaker-fiddled.
And I'm not sure how naming scouts/explorers came up, but I seriously think this is how we should do diplomacy now.

Agreed.
It won't be the most serious of setups, but it would be fun 
One rule though, I think we should have no double-changing names (i.e. a wants to send a message to b, but doesn't want c to notice. so a changes the scouts name to Kill the unshaven (or whatever) and then changes it back once b is logged out.

Add work boats for water-diplomats, for people it might be hard to get to by land?

Yeah lets do it, why not?
Scouts/Explorers/Workboats are hereby defined as 'ambassador' units and their names can carry messages to the civ they are sent to?

Sounds interesting. Is "scouts/explorers" an exclusive list or would any unit qualify as a diplomat? ... Could I send my chariot instead to avoid getting slaughtered by a barbarian, or sail my workboat across the lake?
EDIT: X-post ... I'm fine with whatever as long as it's decided beforehand.

Banter thread = thinly veiled diplo thread. I vote no.
You wanna tell someone how much they suck? Stack of scout messengers.

I think only scouts, explorers and workboats can do it to add some level of 'risk' to the diplo

How long is the character limit for a units name?
I think it will be hard to post gifs using scouts, but we might as well try!
