Peace with the Orcs?

[Shendemiar]

I think its time we let them go, if they still want to play.

[Cesium]

I still have a couple isles I need to nab, but otherwise, I'm fine with it.

Lowly Orc Peon
Hear now from the Might Morkin Horde

The morkin great council have decided that an offer of clemency is in order due to the feeble defence given by the weak Orcling runts.

The Demands to which will avert the decimation of your meagre band are as below

• 1 'We love elves' to be placed on profile for 30 days
  
• 2 Oogahk only has a little Club to be announced on the main Forum
  
• 3 ****

Heed this message well as another offer may not be forthcoming
The Orc killer Warliter has spoken. Speak quick and fast to save your scrawny reptile throat.

Choose wisely

Peace would certainly be wise - Orc are no longer fun to toy with.

I'm not sure it'll be the best approach for peace. Gruummy will probably call us cowards, etc. Why not let people entertain them via IGM. Contact orc, be friendly, talk about the war, the epoch, and maybe after some time, they just might ask what'll take for Morkin to stop (notice thay ask first - not we propose). Then we can discuss peace terms.

I'm probably not in the position to say this. But I think it would be beneficial for Morkin to have peace with ORC and save fleets/colos for whats coming next.

They may call Morkin cowards, but at the end of the day, due to good thinking, Morkin will be more prepared = victory.

Peace is good, and we do not lose anything if we probe for it.

Peace here may be the best option as after speaking to Rahein - it would seem as though he's ready to move militarily against us immediately.

Yup, I'm already seeing my first inbound spies from in in places where I'm weakended after Orc and Bin_Man attacks.

Why don't we just make an announcement that we're bored of taking orc's isles and as they put up such a poor fight we have no intention of granting them the honourable death they craved when starting their attacks. ?

Something like that. I have already suggested that to a number of Orcs complaining that we didn't attack hard enough. Gothmog is just one of the grumblers.

sounds good to me.

Tonight on the IK forums I was trying to subtly plant the notion that we are role-playing as much as the Orcs are, role-playing the Free of Midnight.

It's not entirely untrue, either.

Opens the door to an honourable out for both sides, if the Orcs want to take it.
