Maybe it's good to start a poll for the pyramid question, to see how far everyone wants to go to get it, and even if the group wants to go for it instead for something else. Our gift is moving over to city site #2 (which still needs a good name), and knowing what to aim for would be a good idea once it gets there.
I know, some testing needs to be done as to what exactly would be the best strategy, but that shouldn't stop us gathering opinions on what general goal we are aiming for.
So, the options:
1. No wonder now.
We don't need a wondercity now, perhaps later. The production could be better used in building settlers, i.e. classic REX. We leave the pyramids for some other team, and don't try to get it.
2. Pyramids: perhaps.
We start on the pyramids, but with just the resources we need, and no special attention. We don't add workers to #2, and if EotS would be better off using some of the furs, let EotS have them. The risk of losing the race is big, but if we do, there are some other options, e.g. the Colossus, or the two GLs.
3. Pyramids all the way.
We commit all we can to finishing the pyramids asap. All furs that can be used are used by #2, and if testing would proof that adding a worker to #2 would significantly speed up building time, then we add one or more workers to #2. The pyramids have to be ours, no matter what it takes.
(I guess there might be some subdivisions in this option: some would really commit all resources to #2, adding even 2 or 3 workers, while others might be more moderate, not boosting pop but still go for max production. Basically this option means we minimize the risk of losing the pyramids.)
4. Abstain.

Pride... now that's an argument I hadn't considered yet. But you're right, building a wonder while still be one of the best what expansion is concerned certainly would be something to be proud of.
