Maybe I overthink this, but wouldn't 477, 44 not still be out of his vision?

Retep played last a couple turns ago and then first the turn after immediately after it rolled. Same thing will probably happen again this turn, as he is last to play again. While we don't have units near each other as far as I know right now, and we are not at war, I just wanted to note here for the record that I'm playing before retep every turn except for the turns when retep plays last and then immediately first - and in those cases it's impossible for me to maintain a consistent turn split. When we declare war again in a couple turns I intend to continue playing before retep. The original reason for this turn split is that retep is usually one of the last to play, but at this point our strategy is assuming this turn split as well. That's why I'm mentioning that he's now failing to maintain it 100%. Obviously I don't want to tell him, as that would alert him to the Impending attack.
Edit: well he just logged out after playing, so that's good. I got to maintain turn order this turn after all. The coast was clear for our workers so I made the proposed road. Hopefully it will be useful later anyway. 
For those of you not following civstats or the tech thread closely, the turn mentioned above rolled without retep ever logging back in. His response in the tech thread:

I wonder if Monty's scary visage worked and he checked out when we met him? Probably not, but I can dream.Anyway, here's the turn's update:  I haven't been doing careful C&D, but I checked his hammers in current build this turn and it's 24. That's two turns into a settler if I'm not mistaken. You might recall I was predicting the settler to be whipped on t32 already - last turn. What can I say - I don't know what happened. He seems to have grown more slowly than I expected. One possible factor is I could have underestimated the time it would take him to get agriculture, and therefore be able to improve the corn. Another possibility is he got a second worker out, but that seems unlikely. In any case, he can't whip a settler this turn, and next turn is only possible with a chop. But even if he whips one next turn, we'll attack the city the turn after so that would be a bad idea. I could be missing something but I think we'll kill a couple warriors and eliminate him. In "domestic" news, I split up the workers after they built a third road last turn, sending one to continue roading towards retep and the other to go chop. If things go poorly we'll chop out another impi; if they go well we can put the hammers into a settler at size 3. Krill, time for you to get back in here and consider where we should put the next city if we annex carthage.
777 of capital. Always has, always will be, it's on the way to hooking the gold for additional happy which we want so we can work another cottage at GP and can take the ivory (so still work a good tile and another capital pop can work a river cottage).
City where the worker is, is another reasonable location for something like the 4th or 5th city, if we want to grab Calendar/IW early-ish to get yet more happy.
