lol, you do whatever you want to do. I just don't see why an pacted member with 88 islands is squabbling over this tiny island, when I clearly need it more.

Its not a matter of needing it, none of us actually need the isles we take. Look at it from his point of view, if you had taken an isle and someone sent a clearing fleet at it and then a colo ship you'd want the isle back ! even if you know for a fact they couldn't have known you'd have the isle when they launched their fleets i'm pretty sure you'd expect the isle returned to you because you got it first. We need to be careful that we apply the same rules to others in these disputes that we expect people to abide by when it happens to us.

Hehe, the golden rule.
You know, if I ever do get to an island first, then this is exactly what I'd be expecting from the other person. A) I'd be watching it like a hawk, knowing that more fleets are on the way. B) If someone's fleets were sent before I took the isle, and take it fair and square (with time to build the main house, if the clearing fleet was sent), then I'd take that.
It would be a legitimate colo. Sucks for me, but legitimate.

This issue is now resolved. The DIGG diplomats weren't so big on the whole thing. He got his 20 cats, and we're friendly.

I wish I could colonise isles, I sent out 5 coloships last night and they all failed. I think I might stick to Inyati's rule; there would be just one problem, we'd need more wars.
