I was curious about how CFC acted when they told us about planning to settle at the oasis spot. This seems to be the post where they told us:

To me this seems like them telling us they're going to settle. They even mentioned that it'd be a pretty aggressive settle, and while they were nice enough to tell us ahead of time, there was no "is this settling spot okay with you guys?", it was a "this is what we're doing, hope you're okay with it", with a dash of making sure we knew that they weren't going to be anymore aggressive than that. For me then, Pink dot is perfectly fine, and I don't really see how they'd have a leg to stand on if they got up in arms about it. I don't see how they could get angry at us for doing exactly what they told us they'd do.

I thought that was a new message that was just received for a moment there, mind you.

Lets just type that message back to them verbatim.

That's actually a pretty good idea.

I don't think they'll believe us when we say that that's the furthest west we'll settle.

Also note the wording "border agreement ideas".
If you know what I mean.

Fixed. Send it with the strike-through if you want to give them an ulcer.

I think the names also need fixing.

Scooter / RB,
Noble... Sometimes I just don't know what to say to you. I thought you, of all people, would support my correcting of east and west.
