I'll make sure I'm not grabbing that 19 food sov that's 2 squares from a H? member or any player for that matter but I'm not going to message them to see if I can settle and take the 19 food sov that's 10 squares away. 


You can easily see 10 squares in any direction with one move of the map slider, so your statement that it is somehow difficult to "check" the squares around the spot is ludicrous. One glance at the map is all you need.

notice taken.
i kindly remember that it's common use to pm the people you wish to settle close to.
of course, if you still settle after negative answer you may get removed from the spot.

H? has recently found itself increasingly involved in diplomatic discussions around city proximity.

While it seems as though most players are courteous enough to contact prospective new neighbors before they move or settle in their vicinity, we've also had to deal with folks who just don't think or even deliberately try to cause a problem.

To avoid future disappointment players who wish to move their cities or settle within 10 squares of an existing Harmless? city are advised to contact the player concerned and an H? diplomat/director before the move to discuss it and reach an agreement.

Thanks for your attention.
