I don't know if any of you got this message:

Hello
hello, i dont think we have ever met before, so "Hi".

ok, now to the point.

I have that monkey l3x-x

coming after my main.

he has two colo attempts which hit at

4:40AM US/Eastern time
and
4:59 US/Eastern time.

Many alliances are sending stonies to help put this colowhore in place and was wondering if Luxor could lend a hand and send some stonies to 13:48:12 to help sink his fleets.

Any help will not be forgotten.

thanks

GFY

I just told him that the alliance would discuss his problem and he replied:

RE: RE: Hello
thank you sir, here is a bit more information, anyone who helps will remain anonymous.

two clearing fleets have popped up prior to the 4:40AM first colo attempt.

once arrives at 4:32 AM us.eastern time

8 minutes to early.

the second lands afew seconds earlier then the first colo attempt. if anyone can send any number of stoners between the first and 4:32 and 4:40, it would be appreciated.

thanks

So, I take it we are doing nothing?

I personally could send some stonies there, but, I don't want to get stuck between a war here.

We could drop for orcs

Just avoid E|S getting hang of it.

[Shendemiar]

In general, we are Pro-Orc, but in a way that we don't get sucked-in in each of their skirmishes.

[Clausewitz]

Some observations:
1. l3x-x is being run by a new player. The original owner was volker. In the early stages of the "Great War", he left, and his catamite... er... "account helper" is now in sole possession. A mere high school student, not particularly skilled at doing much more than sending volker's colonization attempts.

2. Orcs are also getting aid from DIGG on an "unofficial" level.

3. Orcs started this one. Of course, Orcs often war for the mere sake of it.

4. Orcs are boycotting the IK forums. Only mildly relevant, but there was some censorship that rubbed them the wrong way when they tried posting l3x-x's counterattacks and the islands of origin.

[Sol]

Well, this guy and I aren't "friends," so I'll give him some help....I don't really want to lose a lot if I'm the only one helping. I don't want to sound selfish here, but I rather rebuild. Heh

I'll try to avoid E|S trouble.

[AeroS]

Orc has been sniping our peace agreement islands. Let them rot.

[Sol]

Well, I just sent some stoners. I don't plan on sending them more. I'll remember his name...and if I ever have a favor and he can't deliver. May jebus have pity on his IK soul...

For those of you curious this is another message he sent (attack report):

I just dropped 2k stoners on a 4:94 isles of Lokim's that l3x-x cleared. We're expecting an incoming colo, but I'm not close enough for a precision-drop, and I'm told Lokim still has LWS for a fleetsave if necessary (keeping the stoners clear of a last-minute sweeper-fleet).

Lokim has been a good and loyal friend and neighbor for some time now - somebody let me know if this kind of support is frowned upon, or just not desirable in this Orc-E|S fight...

[Sol]

I don't think it's frowned upon at all. I believe it's just a matter of being careful and not getting the whole alliance into war without everyone's consent.

I suppose you could go to war if you wanted to, but if the alliance chooses to remain neutral...then you're on your own? heh

I'm not entirely sure how it works since I'm not all wise and godlike as the admins. But I bet it's alright. I just sent that guy 500 stoners...I don't even know him, and I'm not his mom, so I suppose he should be happy for those 500 stoners.

[Clausewitz]

Definitely not looking to be the source of a war or get into a personal one. I double-checked with Lokim before sending, to make sure there was no chance they could be intercepted and the source discovered

Just trying to get a feel for the level of autonomy, glad to know it sounds like my stoners are free to be used to personal causes as long as they don't cause alliance problems

The Official Policy from the Gods, as far as I know, is that as long as there's little risk of stoner/cat shipments to people currently involved in a war being intercepted and traced back to us, dragging the whole Triumvirate into a war, then feel free to help out any personal pacts you might have. Just be careful about it ;D

[Clausewitz]

I'm hearing that Orc is having a feast while E|S fleets crash on DIGG shores...

[Natmus]

Yes, I'm hearing the same.

I have understood that ORC see themselves as warriors. Now they more look like ghouls.

[Clausewitz]

No doubt Orcs will claim credit for the defeat of E|S anyways... (where's a eyes-rolling smiley when you need one!)

EDIT: Whoa! Just realized GFY's name was in here. He's the one who made the Nazi-references to l3x-x, as publicized in the IK forums. I have no pity if l3x-x cleans him out entirely.
