At first I was reluctant to comment on this, but since Robert asked me, my comment will be my latest, totally unedited correspondence with "Carol/Andrea":

Igor, don't even tell me you are ignoring me, because that would be very silly. So talk to me!

See... I know you are either upset, mad or hate me. I can tell just by the way you are writing...
No. It isn't mandatory. I'm sorry for bothering you.

Let me quote you're own message:
"I'm active and online pratically all the time, so keep that in mind if you are looking for inactive islands to attack.
I am also under the protection of MadMax, my friend and neighbor.
Also a friend of jessica, Parwez and Xalthorn, Windmill, JeffUK, Matteo.
I have a personal pact with Raul and sam_reynolds36."
You said everything.
I don't hate you. But I'm too old for kind of nuts that's going on recently. I'm here only to have fun playing a game and chatting with my virtual friends. You voluntarily, unprovoked, excluded me from the list of your friends (see quote above).
Also, you unnecessarily (and from a correspondence I witnessed, totally without reason) attacked one of my alliance members. Such childish display of "power" and use of strong friends as a backup is something I experienced in my real life when I fought in the war, so I'm not very fond of people who use it, even in a game. There are better ways to heal one's frustrations.
Now you can attack me too.

"Now you can attack me too"
No thanks. I'm also done trying to prove myself to everyone. I thank David for the talk he had with me. Unfortunately it was too late for Ashimar, I had already sent out my fleet. I had lost all my anger and I'm not going to loose my temper anymore because people may not believe in me or whatnot. If people wish to feel that way about me, then so be it. It isn't worth the head/heartache.
As for why you aren't listed? Of you aren't. How could I have you listed as a friend after attacking a member of your alliance? That wouldn't seem right at all.
And one last thing. I have told all my 'friends' here in Inselkampf to NOT defend against Morkin. I refuse to hide behind them. If any of you wish to attack me for my actions, then I say bring it on. I'll defend myself to the last spearfighter.

We'll have to wait and see about that...

You removed Morkin only after you were removed from the Inselkampf forum. That was days after the attack.

As far as I know, no one will attack you. Not because we're afraid of your powerful friends, but because we're better that that.

Well, you can wait and see all you want. I don't have to prove myself to you or anyone else anymore. Its just not worth it. I know who I am. I know what I've been through in my life, and I don't need to keep making excuses just so I don't lose an online friend or 2.
And yes, it was 3 days after I left the Morkin alliance, and also when I realized I was going to attack Ashimar, when I removed that info.
And on a game note if I attack one of you guys again, you'd better attack back. Or would you be "better" than that?

Good for you. I don't know who you are. I guess I never knew, nor I ever will. Which is fine. I also don't care losing so called friends who turn out not to be friends in the end.

I am ALWAYS better. For others I cannot say. Find out yourself.
