It is a double edged sword ofcourse, but I'd rather enjoy cordial/gemütliches relations with them. But how are we going to fight them until they cry and run away if we are on good terms with them?

jeditemple's profile: "Operation Shadowbane commenced 2-23-07 I am making a stand against -S- in O3 I support all those fighting -S- Join me in the war against -S- -S- will fall" His 1 island army should do the trick. I expect -S- to be eliminated by friday at the latest. It looks like Jeditemple has broken them and I stick by my original prediction of "by Friday" ;D You called it. Exalts.

I had messages from 2 -S- members who wanted to join *Morkin*. Alexwotsit and badass.

Badass applied to Corleth as well. I still have to write him, but we're not taking him and his two friends (whomever those may be).
As for fighting the German elements, I'm not at all convinced we should...

Fighting them? I thought Corleth got asked to be a pact? Personally I'm all for embracing the peace between us that this should bring^ The Germans are big and good just as we expected, in the mean time the IKUK'ers need to avoid their wrath.

"friends close and enemies closer" seems to fit here, but i can see a conflict of interests arising out of this, they will undoubtedly pick on a smaller alliance for 'cheap 'isles at some point soon... then do we help take them down, or help keep them up? and how would we (fom/morkin) maintain our pact with corleth assuming that corleth went to the aid of [e/s]?

Just got a message from my friend l3x-x: He's going to leave -S-, as he wasn't able to form them into a proper alliance. E|S ("honour and strength") will have rules, to which everybody has to subscribe. That includes not attacking anybody just out of arrogance, as happened with -S-. No cheating, no multis. If someone is accused of being a multi there'll be two people assigned who will have access to his account to check it out.
He also asks if they could have a pact with us, given that he respects the way we play.
So it seems -S- is definitely going down the drain...

And bulbizar has just been appointed admin, despite those people attacking him for being a multi with the Circus account. Do -S- never learn? If I were there now I'd jump ship asap.

I think l3x-x is lying through his teeth. He now has 70 isles, in other words he is massively overextended. If anyone targets him at present, he is dead meat. On the other hand, if he sucks up to us now and gains two month of peace he will be untouchable. Many of the most ruthless player from -S- migrated to E|S and have started ocerextending as well. From a strategic point of view we should level all their small isles over and over again.

We'd be overextending our current fleet just trying to get our cats out there, plus we have our own colonies to worry about. If you can think of a way so that we are not too far behind the German players I'm sure lots of us would adopt it.

maybe pool our resources to get all of our members up to a minimum number of isles? im willing to donate 10k of each a week to the cause.... im thinking 50+ accounts all at say 8-10 isles is big news in any language.... with isles comes gold/lumber.... its all well and good haviing 2000 spear on 3 isles but against an oncome like lxxx will have netx month...

The assumption would be ofcourse that E|S respects the fact that a pact with Corleth also means that Corleth's other pactpartners are off limits to them in their quest for expansion and ocean dominance... And we can't save everyone, nor should we. Bullying should be prevented, but players not having the most basic wits to put up the least of a defense on their isle or establish meaningful relations with 'powers that be', do not need our constant protection. We could also pour this pact into a format where E|S only have ties with Corleth, but both parties agree to reserve the right to stand by idle when activities are deployed that strictly speaking would involve military assistence but would otherwise bring us or them into conflict with other allegiances. Now I like DIGG a lot, but DIGG isn't going to be run by the same people I now have good relations with and we all know how (growing) power may corrupt. MX were a bunch of wussies up till now, but it is conceivable they are the future battlefields. I'm trying to put this in a broader perspective. Yes, E|S is dangerous, Wickinger established a colony at score 300 in ocean 25, Deutsche gründigkeit, so yes they will be even more dangerous. They will be equally dangerous when we attack them now as Natmus propagates. It just postpones the future troubles, it doesn't nullify them for good. I think working on relations with them will pay off. Okay, who speaks German or something resembling German ? ;D
