[Discussion] hawk, TheOrg and AW

[Natmus]

Assuming our "maskirovka" message to PF allies down't help, how do we react to hawk fighing back? Do we declare a full alliance war where all hawk members, even small ones, are fair game, or do we only target those who attack us?

I would suggest that we at first go for those who fight, and take them out one by one in multihunter fashion by all ganging up on them one at a time. Or two at a time, given our numbers.

Alternatively we could become evil and target their smallest and weakest members, and really treat these in a hard way without the others being able to do something. Something akin to the treatment Dodfi got back then.

Maybe we could warn all members of hawk to get out, and those that stay will be fair game.

[Arminius]

I think we should send out warnings and only attack those that attack us; after all we have no quarry with them as such. Apart from PF and LH they have always been friendly and open-minded, haven't they?

[Starshatter]

I'd say go for the aggressors, then work our way down the list until they give in or disband (if we last long enough of course)

[SkulkrinBait]

I agree, attack those who attack us initially, but leave our options open!

[Ringthane]

Personally I'd prefer to simplify them all, top-down.

[Freiegeister]

Take out the aggressors, the rest will probably be like raiding inactives with no defense.

[Perun]

Ringy's right: if they attack us as an alliance, then it's a full alliance war, basically.

[inyati]

Full alliance war ==> Attack the closest enemy ;D

[Natmus]

I'll ask the hawkers how they want this, IF they counterattack

[maroc]

They do seem woefully unprepared....judging by their strength returns via the latest scouting reports....I don't think any 'sane' member of the Hawks can see anything but a humiliating defeat if they try and interfere....thats why I think we should give those that see the light (and truth...lol) the option to get out of dodge...

[sparrowhawk]

Any reaction from any of them yet?

[Natmus]

AliCat of TheOrg just sent me this:

That's fine with me. The Org will stay out of it. Thanks for your open line of communication with us you sound like a very reasonable person and I am sure you have your reasons for these attacks. I hope we can continue to communicate and remain friends while this situation is going on. I appreciate your time and value your friendship, and that feeling is shared by my administrator and whole alliance.

Hugs,
Alison

I hope she is sincere, and not being sarcastic.

[sparrowhawk]

I thinhk that she was being sincere. If you are angry with somebody, you would not write "hugs".

[Natmus]

A guy called Thaddeus wrote and said he had heard we were attacking PF. As he is looking for more isles, he asked if he could have on. I answered that as I hadn't launched my colony ship headed for Sanctuary, and didn't really need another colony, he could go ahead and take it.

On a side note, we are no longer protected by Raul, he is tired of us.
