ORC civil war?

civil war
There is discussion of starting a civil war within the Orc Horde.

Should it come to pass, would you support the faction of Mighty Gorbag?

The faction of Mighty Gorbag stands for pie, prime numbers, and interpretive dance.

This could be interesting. I'm tempted to join to see how it works out. My fleets could use a little exercise, even if I'm unsure on how it will be regarded if I meddle in internal ORC matters.

[Clausewitz]

Extremely interesting.

I'll have a conversation with Lokim today (I normally exchange a few messages with him daily), and see if I can't sniff out some more details on this one.

[twilight]

Mmmmm. Pie.

[Cesium]

I don't know, but I'd support Whipgnash's faction. Funny how I first befriended him. In the early days of this server when alot of us hyper-active people had little more to do that browse the forums, the Orcs were all up there demanding tribute and goofing off. Well, when I built my first cargo ships, I decided to send some stone and gold to my nearest Orc, who happened to be Whipgnash. Along with the shipment I sent an orcish message, which prompted Whipgnash to declare me his thrall. I've been an unworthy thrall ever since, occasionally sending him a few cats and such. You know, fun stuff.

[Natmus]

Suck-up! ;D

[Dalfiatach]

Heh, I remember back in the early days too, I gave 10 cats to Gorbag for use in one of their first wars. He "acknowledged the puny contribution of the pink skin hume" by sending me about 15000 stones, which of course were completely useless to me, and he knew it...

Bah, you're just jealous of my enslaved state!

[SkulkrinBait]

If it's a civil war then surely they just fight it out amongst themselves?

If anyone does want to help them, we need to ensure that we don't turn it into a Morkin civil war as well!

;D

[Clausewitz]

Did somebody say Morkin Civil War?

Does this mean I can finally attack SB? Hurrah! ;D

Lokim doesn't know anything about it, so it may just be verbal sparring between the senior leadership at this point...

[Natmus]

About time we had some Morkin-on-Morkin action. I haven't made Arminius' isles light up red in ages ;D

Why not, everyone else has.

I do that to eproxy and ruku occassionaly

1sws attacks to bout six of their isles is always fun.

Like to see their face when they log in

Update: It seems like GFY is being cut:

hunting permit
natmus;aja

The Orc Horde (sporc faction) does hereby issue you and your alliances one (1) each hunting permit for the GFY account.

Any that come to his aid will come under the purview of this hunting permit.

You shall know Orcs of the sporc faction by their most secret and revered sign.

(2^P)-1

RE: RE: civil war
It is for real. You both have a free rein to take the head of GFY. Any Orcs who stand with him may similarly be collected for trophies. I personally consider GFY a curse and that sentiment is widely shared. If he was left on a single 5-point isle, there would be very few tears shed.

Shame, cause he's actually a pretty good guy - just... well... too personal with it all.

We are making serious cuts in our ranks to get back to our origins.

It would be best if the "hunting license" thing is not made generally known. We are getting word around to those who we wish to remain in the Horde. Those with the "secret sign" are in the cabal.

Okay. Also both Aja and I are confused. Do each of our alliances have a free shot at GFY, or do we have the right to bag one GFY isle each? One for each participating player, or just one isle per alliance?

We will keep this quiet and not act before getting told that it' on for real.

Hah.. already word of the civil war and factions requesting aid are coming back around.

We need a lid to stay on it somewhat though - especially in the matter of your hunting permit for GFY.

[2kcastle]

I think its a bloody cowardly way to get rid of a member they don't wan't anymore. I hope he gives gorbag a Fottuto! good kicking when he finds out he's been set up like this.

[Clausewitz]

"SpOrc" does not include, as of yet, the following members. Consider them candidates to support GFY:

o_0
ag-my001
arbag
Ares
Bilge_Gutrot
DeezNuts
DomGaith
GFY (obviously)
Gor_Guts
Gothmog
Gromkic
Gruumsh
Hebok
jacbowron
Llyndwr
Makari
MeaninglessDemise
Otak_Spittledung
Paradelle
Phreemann
Ravengut
Rok_Headsmasher
Skum-bugga
Snort_Skullsplitter
Tass
Torgan
trockafella
trouble

"SpOrc" does include, as of now, the following members:
Azagh
Gorbag
Lokim
loqtor
Oogahk
SneakyGit
Whipgnash

I will attempt to update this in 6-7 hours - I would imagine word is only now going out about the "(2^P)-1" identifier. It looks like SpOrc includes much of the "old guard" and "key leadership".

EDIT: No (2^P)-1 additions as of time of this update. I did notice, however, GFY's profile boasts of "Players I have made quit this game..."

UPDATE: Still no additions to the (2^P)-1 crew. A bit disconcerting that their faction seems so small...
