Same as CDZ thread but without the spam

Greetings, people of CDZ. We are glad to meet you and hope we can get good relations going that will lead to profitable cooperation and a lasting friendship.

You ask how long we have been searching - the answer is our whole lives baby, the sailors have been rather lonely, . They'd set out while our capital spent many long years building a grand wonder at home. And for that matter, the ship spent some recent time in a frenzy of excitement and anticipation because the navigators could barely see your borders across the sea, but not enough to make contact. We figure it's the fair city Spamalot just south of where our boats met and about to expand it's culture sometime soon?

But seriously, we think sharing info would be a good way to get the ball going between our two teams. First 3 techs would also be a good info exchange.

A few things we will volunteer in good faith to start off with:

*As you may know, due to Stonehenge centering we can tell you that our workboat and yours are kicking it in the south on the map right now

*We haven't met anyone else, our exploring boat intends to sail onwards and perhaps together we can contact the next civilization on the other side of you.

*Our starting location has spare wheat, spices and silver that we hope to soon trade with you.

Feel free to contact our embassy anytime, we are sure there is much more to discuss.

My thoughts are its very open usually people dance around facts for the first few messages before getting down to buisness. So either they pre determined they would cozy up to the first civ they found or saw it was us and figured it would be better for them to be our friends.

Some of the info is not especially useful (like that we are in the south) the resource info is. It confirms my thoughts on why we have less land (clams vs wheat)

So this is where i'll open it up for your input;

Should we match the openess of info or hold back a little more?
Resource trade is a definate possibility, is it worth persuing?
Should we give them some info on the map and contacts (or lack of)?
Anything else that comes to mind..

I also got a PM from earthling, i've sent one back saying we recieved the message and will be replying shortly.

Why do you still post this here?

Just curious, but considering everyone only responds at CDZ, why do you waste your time by posting it here?

Arrgh, I've forught through failed attempts for about 10 mins to read that! We sort of need to as it's a CFC game, but as I can hardly use this forum at the moment I'm doing my responding over on CDZ.
