I took this island about an hour ago. 14.58.9
Easy enough - it had a lvl 1 MH and lvl 1 wall after DIGG had been farming it for several weeks.
Then along comes Autobahn...
What could possibly be his intent here?
I'm a bit peeved...

Fleetsave is a possibility, but unless Pantheon is in a fight I don't know about, it seems unlikely.
I've messaged him, twice. Still unread. I've rebuilt the MH, and he didn't even send a coloship - which just adds to my ire.
Since he isn't reading his inbox, maybe he'll read his event log... I sent a few spies to his weakest isle with the implied threat of scorching one of his isles in return.

I want war, so if this turns out to be a big thing. Bwahahaahah
If not then...oh well.
If he really was fleet saving, that's a crap way to do it.

I won't let this one lead to a war.
If it comes to it, I'll call out Pantheon on a one-on-one fight. I'll even let them select their "champion", so long as it isn't the *cough* "merge prone" *cough* Okeanos or Dionysis.
I'll keep everyone posted on how this develops, but it shouldn't be something worth getting up-in-arms over. The political climate for a war with Pantheon is not ideal - DIGG has a pact with Pantheon and at-best would be neutral, at worst may view the recent colo-disputes as reason to hang us out to dry. In a straight one-on-one alliance war, Pantheon sure as hell has us outnumbered...

Outnumbered? By a paltry 2:1. Outgunned? I'm not so convinced. It'd be a good fight, nonetheless.

most likely knew he wasnt going to get it so wanted to make sure whoever did wouldn't have much left... Rather poor job though

Did some snooping and it turns out he lost his whole fleet on his last colo attempt after not taking down the wall. Looks like he overcompensated this time with the clearing fleet.
Of course there was no wall and he didn't scout, so get some compo for the damage or we kick some Pantheon butt. Also check the timing to make sure he didn't launch after you took it, or we may need to demand his release from Pantheon for a booting. The irony of that unfortunately would probably go unnoticed.

Substract the spies and multi accounts in hiding from Pantheon, and we have them outnumbered and outgunned. Not to mention a mental advantage.

Okeanos (Squinty) has been generous enough to offer that I retake the island Obviously, I had ships in the water for a good hour before he gave me "permission". When I kindly explained that autobahn would have to have such a fate bestowed upon one of his islands to return the kind favour he paid me, Okeanos offered 15 cats as a "settling price" for the lost colo and damages. EDIT: Natmus, in my waking-rage over this one (I saw the incoming colo 40-minutes away when I went to bed last night, and dismissed the notion of cats since he already sent them once), I almost replied to Autobahn "I'm going to explode on your face". Then the potential sexual innuendo occurred to me, I had some tobacco to calm my fury, and pursue diplomacy with Okeanos

Autobahn came online...
His message on bottom, my reply on top...
So he is being generous enough to "return the island", and makes no mention of any form of compensation for the various levels of destruction and/or my additional colo I'll have to spend on the isle.
Somebody may want to put a leash on me, I'm prone to bend this guy over and have my way with him.
