EvilDave was an admin and left Mod_axis in the last couple days to be an admin at Valor. I don't recognise the last remaining admin at Mod_Axis, but there is definately a leadership vacuum there. Mod_axis may be crumbling and I remember conversations with EvilDave about the large number of idle players in that alliance. I have mailed dave and will post info here. It may turn into a shark fest if they are really overburdened with idle members.
This also gives Valor 5 admins. It could be a good oppurtunity to recruit DasNeal.
EDIT: He is hinting at an alliance merge but I am not sure. He is being less forthcoming than he usually is with me.

Rumour is that Valor, Angel and Mod Axis are going to merge any time now.
Valor are not a very well run alliance IMHO. Not sure about Mod Axis.

Thats alot of members to funnel into one alliance that quickly. They may get over-run and we may be able to pick up some fine players form the mess. Isn't aja in angel?

looks like merge taken place.
Valor disbanded angels and mod axis dropping. Alliance called PoH has popped up in second place.

Aja tells me there is some resistance to the whole idea of the merger in Angel, and a group of players are trying to carry on the alliance as before, regardless of the merger. Mainly they saw no compelling reason for the merger, didn't trust the ones who tried to steamroll the rest with the merger without any open discussion, and didn't trust some of the other alliances. But if the reduced Angel fails, we should pick up someone like Kyosuke. I think Aja will try to get into ORC

according to the inselkampf forum we have a pact with the alliances that have merged (Panthe0n)
Can an admin/diplo confirm that this is the case?

We don't have that pact anymore, at least Luxor doesn't. I believe Arminius is also going to cancel it, we need to discuss the matter.
We do still have the pact with [Angel] and that might be interesting if a war erupts now they are smaller.

We used to have a pact with Valor, and Valor got renamed to what one of their admins called 'Pantheon of Hero's' [sic!]. Morkin has cancelled the pact, though Okeanos is not happy with it... And Jaywhotsit (aka ButterfliesDragonflies) is now Prometheus, even though he states "I am Permetheus, An administrator of [Pantheon]. I was formerly Jayrozzer." Maybe he's got a mullet.
I don't like people who give themselves pretentious names and can't even spell them right. And Prometheus was a thief (he stole the fire from the gods). He probably read up on it on Wikipedia, which says "To this day, the term Promethean refers to events or people of great creativity, intellect, and boldness." But I guess that only works if other people call you that, not yourself.
What is it with all this Ancient Greek nonsense? First Aspen misunderstands and misappropriates the Iliad, now this. They're probably not aware that the Ancient Greeks are famous for their tragedies.

They should learn English before moving on to Greek.

Can someone explain to me what [sic] means please. Wikipedia can: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SicThe short story is that it's used to show that the preceding word (or phrase) was spelled that way where it was quoted from, and thus it's not an error in quoting if it's spelled incorrectly.

It means: "I know exactly how this word is spellt(sic) but I'm printing the discussion verbatim to illustrate my linguistic supremacy!"

[sic] means copied as it was in the original. No correction is made to the spelling or to the grammer. So any errors you see are not mine but the person whom I am quoting. You asked and we gave you abundantly. Good way to learn is to ask questions and that was one I too asked.

I've seen it so many times but not known what it means, I feel enlightened.
