Both now and when I was tripping while making the map.

Here's a look at pindicator right before "measuring" 2-2.5 rings.

Now this is how you complain about a map. Newbies, take note.
If only you and me and dead people know hex, then only deaf people know hex.

Think it's just a coincidence that Portland has been under a smoke advisory the past week?

Played t10...

We continued the path of Serdoa's scout with the hopes that he leads us to our southern neighbor. We did not discover anything especially exciting, but given SD and Serdoa's respective scout positions there is a reasonable chance that they will meet and each will have the wrong idea about the position of the other. Not sure that matters, of course. We will most likely head 2SE next turn with our scout.

In other news, Bob discovered a no-power tech, probably Agriculture and we grew to size two @EOT. We will swap back to a worker next turn. Workers are good at defending against rushes, right?

Rusten researched a tech, probably Mining. Serdoa met someone, like 99.9% Superdeath. We discovered Serdoa's capital:

You can see his culture peeking through in the circled area.

Really not much else to say. We swapped to a worker after growth. We discussed scouting a bit and though we think it might be easier to find Serdoa's western neighbor, discovering his eastern neighbor is probably more important to us and we get the side benefit of checking out if there are any potential goodies in the area between Serdoa and us.

If you strip out Lewwyn's fake GNP from the holy city, we're #1. Hopefully our work boat start and aggressive neighbor seeking let's us catch up a little bit for our terrible start techs.

Played turn 12.  Maybe we can get another turn in today?  Not getting my hopes up.  I sleepily checked my computer at around 6:45 this morning but Rusten hadn't played it yet, or it could have gone around much quicker.

Confluence of scouts.  The stone is much closer to SD than it is to Serdoa.  I do hope the intention is not to have either of us compete with SD for it, because there's a big sea blocking us and it's almost twice as close to SD as it is to Serdoa.

Still no BW for SD.  I realized that I overestimated his tech rate because he doesn't have Mysticism, so he might be taking the full 15 or maybe even 16 turns to research it.  Still, he'll definitely have it when we start it and we'll get an extra beaker because KTB stacks with the prereq bonus (which I'm going to start calling PRB) before being truncated. I am already accounting for this in the sandbox and we still desperately need more beakers though, so hopefully we meet someone soon going east. Or perhaps more conveniently, someone can find us from one of the other directions.

Went ahead and played t13...

Serdoa found our borders with his scout via tile bleed most likely, so any hope we have of him thinking we're where SD is has been lost. So it goes...

I would suggest our scout moves NE-SE next, and signed as such.

Other than that, no gnews is good gnews with Gary Gnu.

Mining in @EOT.
