In the 'The map is ready!' thread in the main MTDG forum, it is said that:

Team Doughnut (Iroqois) have a bad starting position and

Team MIA (Greece) and Team TNT (Persia) love theirs.

Of course, no way of telling if it's reliable at all, and if it is, why they like it so much (settler factory, luxes?). I propose we do not join in and do not make a statement about ours.

We must make a statement. Just make sure it's funny enough.

Tell we have five cows, three wheat, three goal hills, five luxes, and seven BGs in our starting 21. It adds up to 23 tiles. Let them figure it out.

:lol: I think we add in 2 whale tiles for good measure!!

By the way, I haven't seen our start yet.

Check Rik Meleet's "Teaser" thread.

Looks like Bugsy wants to be out Minister of (Dis)Information as well. :lol:

Bede, you know I'm full of blarney. :D

well, i might say that we love the funky smell.
let the others decide if we have spices, food, or gold.
seems minor enough to cause them lots of speculation.
and them speculating is good for us.
atleast thats my thought.
feed them like youre trying to fish. put a small bit of bait on the hook and wait for the nibble.

This is what i posted in the Official (fake) Team Doughnut thread. I took Bugs' advice and I don't think they caught on to that we had more than 21 squares in our radius. I think a lot of people thought the Doughnut guy was telling the truth when he posted their desert volcano start. Pretty funny.
Dude you guys got hosed. Maybe you can go for a conscript rush or something.

We only got two desert tiles, two plains, two grasslands, five cows, three wheat, three goat hills, four lux tiles and five BGs in our starting 21.
