So I got this message from a friend of mine who is a smaller player. I find it rather interesting, and I'd like to know what you guys think about it.
Personally, I feel really sorry for the guy. I think he is a decent and loyal player, but hasn't been given a chance to grow because all the alliances he has joined have been crap and tend to get into conflicts too much that they are later forced to disband. Personally, I wouldn't mind if he joined KoM...but that's another matter.

Definately wouldn't mind him in KoM.
I aint the biggest fan of the orcs (used to be in empire) and they tend to start unjust wars just to flex their muscles a little.

I have lost a lot of respect for the Orcs lately, starting when they decided to attack the remaining E|S just when we had negotiated a peace that allowed E|S to remain in the game.
I wouldn't mind if we began something like preparations for a war against selected Orc players.

Orc have a habit of finding flimsy excuses to attack what they see as weak targets. I formed a very low opinion of them when they attacked empire and then asked for help from us and digg when the guys in empire stuck together and fought back.
Do we know anything about raid ? The only thing that springs to mind for me, is that one of them made the map tool we had access to. What are their members like in general ?

I believe Dudehammer is one of their Diplomats. He's a degenerate drunk. That's no joke - he makes brash, absurd, and offensive commentary in a variety of forums under the pretense of "I'm just drunk, don't get all bent out of shape about it". He left DIGG for Orc a few months ago, and left Orc (his behavior was too audacious for them - that says something in my book).
As for Orc, I long ago grew tired of their "hur hur hur" remarks to justify bullying and vulture tactics, which constantly led them to run to their "special relationship" with DIGG to garner relief support.
Perhaps the best avenue is to have KoM ready to take in a handful of select refugees?
If it did inevitably lead to war with the Orcs, it would be bloody, but we would prevail. DIGG would likely stand neutral, and there are many with an underlying animosity towards Orc across this server - most active players I have encountered are long tired of their "hur hur hur" rhetoric.

Any objections to firing off a few thousand stoners from my reserves to 24:83:20?
I don't know the guy, but based on Sol's description, I like him.
EDIT: Going to fire them off. No chance of them being intercepted. I'm sitting on 85k stoners anyways, and working on a 2500 sws isle that could use a practice-run for this kind of long-range support.

lol Just to clarify, those coordinates are from RAID members being attacked conkeror is currently sending them reinforcements. And the comment that was left after 24:83:20 is something conkeror wrote. But yeah, I don't see the problem with helping them out?

Basically I told him that we were still going to have further discussions on the matter and that Clause and I are sending some reinforcements. I also asked him to send me further details. I told him nothing concerning Morkin was for sure and he sent: Details are posted on the official forum. I could post them here, but you can just click on that link and see everything.

Cant jump into every war that starts up, need reserves for bigger and better foes. I've always enjoyed the orcs, the old ones at least they are a good laugh, there obviously just looking for a fight, if Raid is silly enough to select themselves as a target, meh

Well, I personally wouldn't mind giving them a helping hand. From what I've been reading here and the official forum, ORC seems to be picking the fight here and really attacking people for no just purpose.
I like to fight for the little guy, so if the alliance is going to back down, I'd still like to send them resources and stuff.

It's your resources. Send them where ever you like. I don't think Morkin has ever told any one not to help out a friend. I believe that it is encouraged for the most part.

A few thousand stoners can be replaced within a couple days (I love XXL multiple-unit-production). But I know those who have sent me stoners when I was in need have never been forgotten.
Consider it an "investment of goodwill".

Yep. Well, Natmus says he doesn't mind making preparations against selected ORC players. I don't mind either, anyone else agree?or am I a loner in this cause. heh
