[POTENTIAL INCIDENT] - Maroc'

[soiram]

As you know, Maroc has left the game and after 7 attempts I managed to colonise Ravenwood. So I got this msg from someone in Nomads:

He has kindly given me permission to colonise his isles as he is quitting the game.
He was a fellow Morkin, and we have been clashing swords in another game for a year now :-)

to save hassle in the future im claiming his main isle as soon as its free because I GAVE your colony to maroc and i expected it back in these circumstances.but you have it now so im having the main isle asap. good luck with the morkinisation of the seas lol

I contacted Maroc who said that:

In short....he is talking utter bollox....we had a non-aggression pact and I offered him my help when he started out.....thats all...

He gave me my colony!!!....<roaring laughter>

I was thinking of going for Maroc's main isle when it becomes available. How should I handle this?

For the time, I sent him this:

Well, according to Maroc, (I forwarded your message to him) this was not the case at all. On the contrary, he told me that you had a non-aggression pact and that he had offered you his help when you started out...

You got me confused you two 15:77ers!!!

Tell him you don't think he can claim it in any possible way, and that you are going to take it by Maroc's full agreement. Simple as that. He may try to call in his alliance, but that will not help him if it comes to blows.

robin05,

I have been informed that you claim Maroc's main isle when it becomes available. By what rights do you claim it?
Maroc doesn't know of any agreement with you over it, he only knows of a general non-aggression deal with you.

Do you have anything that can firm up your claim? Perhaps I should buck this up to admin level and get your admins involved, before you decide to make threats they might not be willing to back?

Natmus, Morkin admin.

robin05,

Yesterday I sant you a message, asking for an explanation for your claim to Maroc's main isle, if and when it becomes available.

I can see you have read the message, but not bothered to reply.
Unless you reply, and state your case for your claim, any attempt to take over Maroc's miain isle will be regarded as an unprovoked attack on the Morkin alliance, and met with retaliation.
In short, state your case, or forget about any claim to the isle.

Natmus, Morkin admin.

In simple terms, if he doesn't respond, we don't think he has any claim. If he responds, we tell him he has no claim. If he acts anyway, we show him he has no claim.

If he ifs we if him ;D

[SkulkrinBait]

I like those options!

[soiram]

Oh, Merda!, I forgot to let you know. He contacted me yesterday:

your admin has threatened me for allegedly threatening you,so please tell me what the threat is/was??? cos ive missed that bit. tar mucho.

I answered in a mild manner (he didn't seem that hostile to me):

He contacted MAroc too, so based on what I wrote you he considered your claim of Maroc's islands unreasonable. As long as your message was not a threat, disregard the part of his message you consider a threat

He hasn't read it since yesterday, so that's why he didn't respond to you (waited for my answer).
I think he just tried a wide shot to see if he could achieve anything...

BTW, MAroc's isle has:

Large Warship 57 0
Large Merchant Ship 5 0
Small Warship 39 0
Small Merchant Ship 70 0

Archer 297 0

I deleted the account sometime in the weekend. Farm if you want, but an attack should be planned beforehand IMHO to wipe out defense.

[soiram]

Maroc's main isle is now free for colonisation. It requires some attacks to level the Main House, but we could leave this guy doing the dirty work ;-)

See above post for its defenses. Anyone interested?

[soiram]

Island now fallen to a really big guy. Abort!

[Natmus]

Grover234, that ghoul! He is an expert in sniffing out high-score main isles that becomes available. He is so fast I suspect that he somehow have access to the server, or it wouldn't be possible to get to them that fast. I'm serious about this suspicion, I have seen it too often here in ocean 15 for it to be a coincidence.

[soiram]

I can't say, but he sure was fast on this one. I saw it 07:30 free and on 09:30 it was taken!
