Policy on taking over colonies

[Arminius]

Just had a chat with 'fearless', who let me in on his secret of growing fast: Build a fleet, and then nick colonies from your neighbours. Saves you from having to build them up.

Now that sounds all nice and easy, but I think it would go against our unwritten ethics. We're not pirates, but settlers, so to speak. Stealing colonies could spark wars, and ruin our reputation as an alliance.

On the other hand (the typical capitalist free-market point): if we don't steal colonies from weaker players, others will do it, and eventually steal our colonies.

What is the general opinion within Morkin? Peacefully colonise and build, or fleet building and robbery?

[inyati]

Peacefully colonise and build. (why not poll it)

[SkulkrinBait]

Steal multis colonies only.

I have dodfi (all of it) on my personal to-eat list. And I will, mind. I have realized that building more than 4 full-fledged colonies at once is dulce et decorum but foolhardy to say the least. I'm gonna solidify my current foursome, and then I'll see whether it's cheaper to endoctrinate my hemisphere, or to keep on building.

Can I farm their inactive Admins? Seriously! I've been watching two of them and they have not changed since the war - no defense either.
