Discussing these things is very important, its the only way we can get to know eachother, and to be a real alliance instead of just some bits in the cyberspace.
Speaking generally of wargames, my favourite situation is one i never end up in if its up to me, a desperate defence, some games of course forces you into these even if you play superbly, and thats very enjoyable.
I also enjoy very much good planning and execution something like the actual in-game-warfare. This is the part where courage makes the difference.
Diplomatic plotting has allways been difficult for me, as lying doesnt come easily for me. Even as i know these are games that should be played by alteregos, i feel like betraying the real people, as most take this personally anyway. If i feel the Machiavellism or Sun-Tsuism can be done within the game-parameters, i can live with it, but if it includes emails or irc or phonecalls or anykind personal affairs, its a turnoff for me.
Morkin however is mostly about the social aspect: Its nice to talk to old friends on the board and have a common subject. Beeing able to really trust them is a nice benefit in the game as well, and sometimes you get to actually do some warfare too.

I don't believe Nemesis is a cheat or a multi.
I saw an oppotunity to take 15 poorly defended O14 isles, I knew I had support from other players which would assure a victory.
So, it's not fair. Who cares? It's a game.
I do not play this game to settle my conscience, I do not play this game to re-adress moral issues. I play the game to help my friends and destroy my enemies. Tyrant is not my enemy, if he is a multi; write to Sven.
Besides, I was under the impression that you were planning to attack Tyrant with a band of other players like 'Aja'. Skulrinbait posted this on the forum
Isn't this hypocritical? Morkin will not attack until enough players are found to assure victory? (I realise this is not the same, but comparisions can be made nonetheless)
Natmus, I admire your romantic view of the game but it's just not a sentiment that share.

coruscation, it should be obvious that there are several ways of playing this game. To simplify, there's the high road and the low road. Morkin has been known for always taking the high road. I would hope that that extends to how FoM members behave themselves on this server, at least.
Regarding Aja, since you mention her, she is an actual living person, and running the acccount herself most of the time. It's just here between Christmas and New Year she is visiting with parents and family, and I'm taking care of her account with her full confidence. Any insinuation, even using plings (like >'<Aja>'< above) is something I will not tolerate. Aja is in the Angel alliance, and that alliance has a score to settle with Tyrant, multi or not. So does Morkin, courtesy of our pact with Angel.

Natmus, I have great respect for you; but I dislike your condescending tone. This is a discussion thread not an argument. I wish to debate styles of play not deliberate over punctuation.
It's a pity, but I've lost a message regarding [Corleth], but I think you are aware of my feelings on the matter, thus I feel no further need to discuss it.
As for styles of play; we shall see how things develop.

There is a rather big difference between myself and Tyrant. Tyrant has been caught cheating whilst he was in WAR. There is now pretty hefty evidence he still cheating from what ive read on other threads.
Gorai cheated... He got blocked, hes got another chance here, he cheated again...
I cheated as James, I stopped, i restarted and since then havent done anything to disgrace the rules.

Damn your about 10 Large Warships ahead of me! And you have an extra isle :S
We should consider getting Ihsan to join us, he's a talented player and I just can't bring myself to consider attacking him.

Is he still active? He's only got 1 isle with 577 points after he restarted more than three months ago:

He messaged me the other day asking if he could keep the isles I cleared for you, Arminius. I told him to message you.
