[colmfinito] Inherited account

[Natmus]

Marc has the keys, so the rest of us can only just advise.

What do we do with it? Wipe out DL and PhF? o_e?

Take all the cats for ourselves? Rape the isles ?

[soiram]

Let me ellaborate a bit:

First, let's see if this is definitive and on which terms this has taken place.

Option 1:
If this becomes public knowledge then probably we need to delete Ashimar account (after distributing, resources, STs and cats of course) and let Marc play as colm. In that case we put him in Morkin, since it's technically Marc who is the user.

Option 2:
If it is not public knowledge then in order not to cheat, we have to devise a plan of a) sharing whatever is to be shared and b) colonise everything we can (by using Frei's scheme - i.e. send ships away, colonise, ships return).

Option 3:
We use the account once or twice to wipe out an enemy and then leave it be. This could also be combined with an early PWS, ie we attack DL/PF with huge colm forces and then we hit them continuously with Morkin forces. On the other hand, if we just let colm forces strike them, then colm will get whatever retalliations, so Morkin is safe (presuming of course that info is not disclosed).

I have just posted the story in the warfare section, as there will be considerable warfare.

Colm has stepped out of VI and told some he was quitting. Read his remaining email (in the account), he even offered Eriol his islands if they wouldn't then attack VI over te attack on Lhunmoth. How -under those circumstances- can I relaxedly usurp his account. No thanks, I'll remain Ashimar and fade into The West.... ;D

But anyone else is free to try ? I only want regular commission in the shape of some gold+wood <lol>.

Colm wrote somewhere that his homebase in ocean 2 was only quares from Freedom's account. And that he would be attacked. I found longrunning orders to train hundreds of spearfighters and no ships nor catapults. He was digging in, not expanding anymore and I seem to understand that he lend his fleet to VI against Lhunmoth. Some islands we can take, we can boldly try anything of course and to gert extra fleet is an attractive idea, but it's not easy and I got a baby on approach so I can't handle it.

The key to the isle is overthere in the other thread. Open house at Colm's.

[Natmus]

Matija springs to mind. I'll PM him and ask.

Not in favor of this point. Colm. has publicly divulged that he´s left his account. If DL/PF are attack by his account, they will try contacting him and his friends for explanations. Sooner or later they´d know that it was not him that attacked but Marc, leading to multi hunting wars.
I´m in favour of stripping and taking over his colonies, and leave his main island in autopilot, building and endless army of STs and Spears, dificulting any raiding.

[ashimar]

Excellent idea !

Edit: err...the last two posts I mean !

Matija for president and alternatively spreading the wealth. A colony for Igor and so on.

[soiram]

To recap:

colm would be attacked by Wraith hadn't he quit. Now that he did quit, we don't know Wraith's intentions, but I am more than sure that they will want colm's isles etc.

I am not sure that Marc or anyone can convince them to keep their hands off, because the account is handled by a new owner, so it is a high risk account to keep.

Therefore, we need to transport whatever we can to us, and also we could strike one or two enemies via colm, but everyone will know we did that.

I propose an organised looting!

I was writting in parallel with this. So, I don't think we should take the colonies, as Wraith will be claiming them back...

[ashimar]

Marios resumé is also excellent. I have had it for now, I'll be signing off untill the late evening I think. I wish you all wisdom and inspiration. ;D

[soiram]

OK, let's act quick before colm's account is attacked.

1) Log in and make a list of transportable resources / army
2) Transport resources to stores and people with big storehouses. Wealth will be redistributed
3) One of us tries to communicate with Wraith and ask about their intentions. The only legitimate way to do that is to say that one member quits his account and takes on colm's (robillard for example )

The situation is very tricky because we do NOT want to be held down as multis. Steps 1 and 2 NEED to be kept secret from everyone.

[SkulkrinBait]

Is there any chance this might be a trap to "prove" Morkin members are multis?

[Perun]

Can I have some of colm's cats? I really could use some... Especially for retaking Korkyra.

[soiram]

Checked the account. Marc is already transporting whatever he can to his island.

There are plenty of resources but no available ships. The only thing I could do was to transport about 7500 gold and 10000 lumber to Shendemiar's island which is close(r).

Until ships are back (a good 2 days) from Marc, not much else we can do, unless someone actually handles the account to produce ships etc.

[Natmus]

If there still are warships and soldiers on the islands by sunday, I propose we use these as shock troops in operation LaT.

[soiram]

Proposition part 2:

Frei can log in late nights (when uk sleeps) and start building ships, cats and STs.

I can log in early morning (GMT -2) and transport built things to us.

This minimises the risk of getting caught online by Wraiths and start receiving messages etc.

If LaT = PWS then I agree to use colm's powers, we won't care afterwards anyway. If not, then I am not sure Wraiths and DL's friends will leave much for PWS...
