FireFox Attacks

[Lord_Reed]

GhostWheel has incoming from Wiselizard of FireFox:

A fleet from the isle 03 Tour de Paris (11:37:12) spies on your isle!
2:19:27 A fleet from the isle 03 Tour de Paris (11:37:12) spies on your isle!
2:19:32 A fleet from the isle 03 Tour de Paris (11:37:12) spies on your isle!
4:06:18 A fleet from the isle 03 Tour de Paris (11:37:12) is attacking your isle!

Reprisal fleet launched at 11:37:12

[Natmus]

Firefox has been attacking other small targets recently, like D|ER for little or no reason at all.

Skandar has gone crazy with bloodlust.

[ashimar]

Skandar claims you said something on the .co.uk forums which upset him and therefore he attacked. I'll post his correspondence tomorrow, time for bed.

I said something? I've never posted on the .co.uk forums

[Natmus]

I said something. Nothing that would make anything resembling a normally adjusted human being react in this manner.

Token payback, follow up attacks on their way

[ashimar]

Ouch !

Yeah, to come back to what I wrote last night; I don't login ik.co.uk that often anymore, sometimes as much as 5 days go past, and when I do I only build some cats or transport some stoners from Archibald, Guinevere, Perun, JOSHIO, ringthane, Ashimar and Dalfiatach accounts to the Bardil account.

I logged in some days ago and discovered that the current owner of the Madhunter account (I think it is Little) had tried to colonize Archibald's main. Silly but true. Unfortunately he had used cats and there was some colleteral damage including 820 lost stoners. I wrote to him asking them "back". Then I logged in yesterday and discovered both Ashimar's, Archibald's and ringthane's main had been hit by Skandar. my Ashimar account had a whole list of attacks in progress and is now completely levelled. Gone are the cat building facilities on those islands. Spy attempts on JOSHIO and Bardil, but no attacks. Neither on Zerin or Farflame (ofcourse Skandar's idea is to not loose anything more than a few ships...)

To save what's left I started a dialogue with him, seeing he was online (whatever version of him that is) to try and stop him because he is compromising my plans to attack Slayer. I have now made it so that I will attack Slayer this weekend and for what it is worth Skandar offered a suicide fleet as compensation. I have no way of ever checking wether he will do that, but okay. I will inform him saturday that is is going to be Slayer and why (the threatening David story and such) and then we'll see.

Did you attack my main island, Skandar ? I thought we had no unfinished business anymore ?

I was being hassled by some people on the IK forum and then Natmus stuck his oar in and mentioned something about the "Curse of Morkin". I took that as a threat, and as I was already pissed off I launched my fleets. I should not really get "rabid" like that in your words ... it was a bad day.

Ashimar wrote:

Well, I honestly am not aware of whatever current situation has developed so please fill me in. I'm mostly playing IK.com these days (hence I'm not rabid about this as I would be otherwise) and only irregularly log in, sometimes a whole week passes, so I'm not quite up to date. I'll ask him ofcourse, but what is going on (your version) ?

A winter solstice attack?

Ashimar wrote:

I see, and for that you undo the others as well, me included. That's nice. So whenever I have a bad day on IK.com I can also launch my fleets at the Skandar account there ? Doesn't sound quite right to me. I may login irregularly, but I still had some plans which you have now ruined somewhat. How are you going to compensate me ? I was building cats on my island in case you hadn't noticed.

There are only 3 people left who could be considered Morkin targets of an attack on 22/23 Dec = me, pecksy and steveoo69

Yes, something like that I suppose. A bit of a private project really.

If you plan an attack that does not relate to the three mentioned then I can offer an attack fleet in that enterprise.

Ashimar wrote:
----------

And I assure you, on personal title, that you are completely wrong there. Neither of those three mentioned have been on anyone's (Morkin) hitlist for as far as I know or can remember AFTER the end of our more or less active period on this server. Out of pride and perhaps masochistic notions, most have continued their accounts and indeed buid them up again, but there were no organized plans anymore that I know off.

The target I myself had/have in mind predates the war you know all about, that's why you have no idea who it could be. Clearly not Stomer. That must have been what Natmus was referring to as we have talked about the concept of a "curse of Morkin" in relation to Stomer's long downfall some time ago.

Anyway, I've now read some messageboard things and you have hit hilander, soiram, natmus, shendemiar, ringthane and such and your friend steveoo is also involved.

I need to think about this new development. I'm not pleased at all with your attacks on me and some others I'm looking after. It would be rather ironic that you three were no target of mine at all and now you put yourself on the top of the list because of suspicion and a bad temper.

Well personally I wiped out a 50 lws and 211 sw fleet. It would be helpful to know what the target is so that I can plan what type of fleet is needed.

Ashimar wrote:

Okay, let's see if we understand eachother 100% now.

I have a target predating the war in which you, Steveoo69, Stomer, Pecksy, Freedom, Vampire et al were involved.

I was planning on launching around the coming weekend as IK.com is taking up a lot of my time and I am returning here (.co.uk) less and less.

I was using some accounts I look after to get some cats as building up a fleet there would take too much time anyway.

You have taken away the capability to do so on 2 of my islands so far (the rest I have nothing to do with), plus a suicide fleet: my main and Ringthane's island.

You are now offering me as compensation to participate with at least (or only ?) one fleet with cats ?

So far this sounds okay with me, but please add some details as to what you are willing to offer, precisely in terms of numbers, ships, cats.

Offer to you is a 200 lws strike force with 800 spear + 200 archers + 20 cats.

Agreed?

Ashimar wrote:

I checked and I have 5 cats in production on ringthane which I now cannot get out due to knocking down the harbour
below LW producing levels. Other damage indeed not serious. On my main indeed 50 LW, 211 SW but also 6 cats waiting for transport and 4 cats in the cue without transport now. 3 further SW's but that's peanuts, I agree.

So what I would like is the equivalent of a 50 LW+215 SW+1000SF+100A+15 cats suicideforce and I'll be perfectly happy.

Or, and I would like that even better, 65 cats (a rough estimate of the above mentioned firepower) to be delivered to one of my suicide fleets on Zerin or Farflame. That way you won't have to do a thing, I am 100% sure of your participation (I can't verify wether you will actually launch, now can I ? And reports can be made up).

In return for the cats you will be notified on the day of the attack who it is and what I have attacked with all I have available (and that's more than Zerin+Farflame obviously). I have no problems with forwarding you the reports. Ratem and I used to do that sort of thing all the time.
After that you are free to use my remaining colonies (after the counterstrikes on them ofcourse) and to grab the opportunities created by my attacks.

There will be no active Ashimar on this server then.

We have a deal

Ashimar wrote:

You give me your word that you will in fact do this provided it is no one currently mentioned on your profilepage or mentioned alliances there ?

In that case I accept your offer gladly and give you my word that I have no quarrel (neither here or on ik.com) with anyone of the ones you mentioned and that I will personally not deploy any further activities on this server ?

I will give you the target (island and player) on saturday or sunday (whichever suits you).

Do we then have a deal ?

Ok... I may offer a greater fleet on the day... but the amount as offered will be agreed for now.

I shall then also tell you why I will be doing that.

That's agreed upon then. I have no idea in what context Natmus made that comment as I'm not following the .co.uk forums anymore. One can only spend so much time on something and being number 1 right now on ik.com does take it's toll.
I will look for you on saturday then. Sent me a message what time you're most likely to be online. I'm off to bed now.

Oh, leave the JOSHIO, Perun, Dalfiatach and Guinevere accounts alone please. ;~)

[Ringthane]

My island lives...? ;D

[Lord_Reed]

Ghostwheel has incoming again from Wiselizard, he obviosly didn't like my retaliatory attacks. He who throws stones and all that.

[Natmus]

Lord_of_Chaos still offer any kind of help to any Morkin players, hit or unhit:

My offer still stands.

Firefox seem to be attacking any alliance below rank 50 these days.

I will help those players of Morkin rebuild if they decided to carry on.

[ashimar]

But what's the point and what's in it for him ? I though he had sold his account.

[Natmus]

I didn't know that. Maybe I have been speaking to the new owner?

Wow !! We have a critical hit again !!!

Go Lee, go (or was it ..erm...Mark ? I always confuse you with Timbus somehow)

[Lord_Reed]

It's Lee, Mark is the ugly one ;D

Yes I think Wiselizard will be regretting his little actions, Ghostwheel is still intact (at present), and his attacks have cost him the following:

1132 LW, 5207 SP, 5584 ST, 727 Archers, 42 SM and 22 CATS,

Oh dear, how sad, never mind
