Basically they are going to try to extort writing out of the nutters with the knowledge that they have probably been attacked. AND share it with us

That would be me. Bridge is an even bigger hobby of me than Civ even. Too bad I'm not on your teamBede said:

Should I show him the F11 spreadsheet? At most I'd give him the last few turns worth for the land area and tell him that we have not settled a city in that time.

The spreadsheet would give too much info, but at the same time it can be faked. So it's of no use to show it to another team.

Here is what I am sending fe please edit or confirm that this is ok
We had not settled a new town nor have we created a military unit. So there is really no explanation other than war or volcano that could explain such stats. Also of note is that TNT joined a worker/settler into their capital last turn

My only concern is that we are giving them spoilerish info they can't see on their own by looking at their save. 44 sq. mi/100 is not on their F11.
I would prefer to wait until MIA asks for more detail.

This is a concern. I wouldn't want to get in trouble with the admins.
It may be enough (diplomatically) to tell them that we can't give them full disclosure of how we reached our conclusions due to spoilers but that we are confident in the information and encourage them to use it in their discussions with D'nuts to see what shakes loose.
Poker-face to shake the D'nuts up; Bridge-face to let them know what help is available.

I've been following the discussion in the Geeks/Numbers forum (by follow I mean reading the words, having my eyes glaze over and then drooling a lot).
Should we communicate to MIA that warefare on the other continent is a reasonable conclusion, but we are not certain who is
whom and that they should use cautious, obliqe statements to try and get info?
I guess I'm relying on the numbers wizards for input on this one.

we will know more after our save comes in. Whoever's score dips is in serious trouble.
If they both dip then, they might take each other out of the running altogether.

I'm almost positive it's D-nuts who have lost a city (or cities...). They have been the ones ahead in land area the entire game. They were the first with a second settler.
Intersting to watch. All those games manipulating the AI have given you guys some insight into manipulating humans.
I'll just repear what I've said before: it is to our advantage to open the kimono as wise as we can so long as the other sode reciprocates. If we discover that they are hiding anything snap on the iron underwear and take it to them. If they know we are holding enough points to make game in No Trump it will make them think about defensive play rather than offense. That is to our advantage.

I'd be reluctant to send them even part of the spreadsheet. Tubs is OUR secret weapon and we don't want to give them Tubs' secret shaman herbs. Hmmm, unless maybe we could trade it for all their gold and tech for the next 250 turns.
