[ORC] v. -S-

[Natmus]

All signs point toward a coordinated attack on ORC by -S- this Friday. Orc even have the preliminary plans for the attacks, lifted from the -S- forums.

Question is if we will follow them into war this time as well. Gorbag has requested help in case he should lose an isle, either by somebody else retaking it a.s.a.p., or by levelling it.
OR he would try to put as many stoners as possible on his O2 isle.

I got this list of -S-'s plans:

Targets.
I pulled this off the -S- private forum. Gorbag thought you might be interested.

Gorbag just asked me for stoners for the Ocean 2 isle as well. I'll be helping them out as much as I can. Anyone with spare stonies, you know where to send them!

[2kcastle]

Is this attack as a result of orc continually attacking -s- before ?
I dont think we should follow orc into a war they started pretty much for fun. Attacking tyrant because we knew he was cheating was ok and if we had ended up fighting -s- because of it, then we were in the right.
Fighting them because they return attacks on orc doesn't seem such a good idea, orc had their chance to leave the battle when we did and negotiate a cease fire with -s- but they wanted to fight.

[SkulkrinBait]

I agree, but also think we need to help Orc survive as they bring a lot of good to the game.

[mmupatton]

Someone in Corleth may be more than interested in sending stonethrowers to (11:44:23) Whipgnash, just because bulbizar may attack it... I'll spread the word.

If we help Orc I suggest we pick the first person to attack them and colo/level them. It'll serve as a reminder to the rest where we stand... another ye olde faithful circular mail wouldn't go amiss either.

I agree. I have made friendships with a few Orc players so I have an excuse to help them once they are under attack. Pumpit is close to me, so I would like to go for him.

But, as I told Gorbag, we need -S- to make the first move. It would be fun to fleetsteal some of -S-'s isles, if it's possible.

[eproxy]

If we wish to avoid this war however we could just make it known where we stand... from what I can garner about most other alliances stances they would do the same as us.

No-one has a reason to like -S- but alot find Orc amusing/funny and agree it would be less fun without them. I suggest a peaceful approach as I have no -S- members near me to attack

[camydoc]

i sent gorbag 200 stonies

[blazed]

Talking with trouble about what help I can give them.

Also heard that -S- had delayed attacks due to the FOIMP, mod_axis skirmish. Guess there thinking they can pick up a few easy isles out of that or something

[domhnall]

Why wasn't this is quick news? I have 200+ stoners I will happily deploy anywhere. Just say the word.

[Natmus]

-S- abandoned the plan when they realised:

a) Their surprise had gone.
b) ORC with allies were ready to strike back hard
c) The allies of -S- were dropping out fast.
