ePWS/T&L Date

[SkulkrinBait]

This poll is flawed as you can only vote once but may be happy to launch on a variety of days, however we do need to decide on the date of the attacks before we can do anything else.

I've picked dates which have either been suggested already or nobody seems to be objecting to so far, feel free to comment as you all do anyway!

;D

To clarify: This date is the attack arrival on target date, or the attack launch date? There might be a huge difference between the two.

DL is offline usually between 07:00 - 13:00 in the morning, so I guess it's better to plan the attacks to ARRIVE between these hours, when she is asleep and she can't react.

Good point. Ideally, as I as.sume she has l20 watchtowers on her major isles, we will have to time the attacks to become visible when she sleeps, and the fisrt waves to hit just before she comes online. It will take some timing, I admit, but the long-range of warning watch towers should be taken into account.

So we can only send out scouts from Colm's place when we know exactly when that attack is going to be.

Take the poll to be the date we are launching the attack, apparantly the poll can be changed to allow you to vote for all options as more than one date may be OK, can someone edit this for me please as I can't find the option to do it.

I think we should plan backwards:

1) All isles (if possible) are hit ~13:00
2) Calculate times to different targets for each member
3) Launch on corresponding time

According to my members poll launched today, I believe we already pack enough to hit her today if we want to. Now let's not get overheated and feeding dreams of colonization: I say scorched earth.

[soiram]

This is another opinion which saves us a lot of money and buys us more offense.

What do people think? Forget about capturing DL colonies and focus on leveling them?

(David, if it's the case I can send you back the resources you provided for the colony ship. Let me know.)

Lets take her colonies, we aren't far off getting the ships are we?

In Dawn, I will have l20 storehouse by tomorrow noon and then I need to build 7 more levels of harbour and then build the d**n thing. I am not far, but not around the corner either.

Don't forget also that according to DL, the Dusk isle (next to Dawn...) is protected by Darkaracnid (and probably the ~15SW~ thing), so even if I take it, I won't be having it for much...

Which is why I think we should leave this alone in the first wave of attacks. It's too small to do much on it's own, and when the big isles are neutralised, it's nice and close and can be colonised or destroyed almost as an afterthought with our left hands.

Waiting also leaves DarcAracnid out of the equation until DL is a truly lost cause with a main isle in rubble. I doubt he will do much for her little colony in ocean 15 then.

[SkulkrinBait]

OK, I'll change my focus for my main fleet then. Updating thread now.

I'm going to publicly support Natmus now for 25th Oct, St Crispins day. Judging from the poll which was inconclusive and the days people can't make it, this is probably about the best compromise and we need to set a date in stone or it will never happen.

Who's with Mads and I?
