Latest developments from DIGG's end of the fight will be posted here.
Past 2-3 days: 1. E|S launched an "offensive" two nights ago. It amounted to 3 DIGG islands lost and 4500 E|S LWS sent to the bottom. After those losses, DIGG has not seen further incoming E|S attacks.
2. Several E|S players have begun seeking independent peace with DIGG. Combatants from E|S remain l3x-x, Dr_eam, Blade, and Observer, with only token spy missions by others.
3. VALOR has joined the coalition, and is assaulting E|S under-defended position.
4. Angel and DIGG are dismantling Dr_eam in o21-22 with great success. Mach_Starwind and DominicUNT are leading things from the DIGG end of things if anyone is interested in joining the fray.
5. Phoenix sent mass 1 sws attacks at low-scoring DIGG players, coinciding with threats of complete annihilation if they do not leave DIGG. The impact on morale was significant, but the emergence of Morkin into the fight has steadied DIGGer nerves.
6. TheUnashamed, Sellars, Saquintes, Borei, B0bafett, Jabnael, Zang, and Toven are all on the front-lines and have been hit hard. Any or all could use aid packages and/or some words of encouragement from their Morkin friends. DIGG is being overrun in o12.
7. Valheru remains out of the war, but is preparing to send a team of expats who want to join the fight over to DIGG, in the mold of TFM.
8. DUGG has sent Edlsee over to DIGG to act as a liaison for coordination and increased communication, in the mold of TFM.
9. Empire will be joining the fight shortly against E|S and Phoenix.
10. H|F has declared war on DIGG, but not yet launched attacks or spies. DIGG is trying to exploit H|F concerns that they are simply fighting a war FOR E|S, rather than WITH E|S.
11. TFM continues to provide aid packages to local DIGGers in trouble, as well as hitting MX targets as posted in the threads here, and is currently running mass spy missions on E|S and Phoenix targets, per Inyati's orders.
12. Phoenix has indicated to DIGG that they feel betrayed by E|S, made a mistake in entering the war, and may soon be targeting Morkin for "sticking their nose where it does not belong", per Dyers' IGM posted in the Phoenix threads on this forum.
13. DIGGers have been ordered to halt operations against MX per a request this morning (though I forget who off the top of my head, AoreS I believe). Pille is raising a storm in o42, and only retaliatory strikes are taking place. All other operations against MX by DIGG have been halted.
New developments of interest will be posted to this thread.

DIGG reached a very amicable peace with Empire in the war a few weeks back, with formally binding CE-v1 (or should it be 2, since this is a new server, after all?). They had their highly-publicized war with the Orcs continue after DIGG finally managed to clean it's hand of that Orcish war we got drug into.
Myself and Meatpopsicle worked extensively with Summerlong01 and Dejecting (both Admins at Empire) to secure those Peace Accords.
At the conclusion of the Orc-Empire war, both Summerlong01 and Dejecting were exhausted and decimated. Some fortunate timing allowed them to take over accounts within DIGG where the prior owners were leaving the game. They are currently under the names Cavedog and Keesj, in a "witness protection program" of sorts.
They've both worked well to convince Empire that this move would cement future relations between DIGG and Empire.
While Empire is a bit battered and out of the Top 10, the members they do still have are war-veterans who have great experience in warfighting at this point. And while they need a few days to recover still (it's only been about 2 weeks of rebuilding for them), they are geographically positioned well to hammer Phoenix and E|S targets in outlying oceans.
Further UPDATE: 1. o12-13 are being lost entirely, as E|S is focusing their limited offensive into those waters. DIGG forward-deployed almost 100k stoners to those waters, but it has not proven to be enough.
2. Although H|F formally declared war upon DIGG, there have not yet been any significant attacks - only 2-3 total, stemming from slumtrimpet and Pain.

A (modified) speech that some DIGGers put together and asked me to share with their Morkin brethren...
"I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our Islands, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of E|S, if necessary for years, if necessary alone.
At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of DIGG-every man of them. That is the will of DIGGers and the vitality of the server.
The DIGG Allaince and the Morkin triumvirant, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native islands, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength.
Even though large tracts of World 1 and many old and famous Alliances have fallen or may fall into the grip of Ehre & Starke and all the odious apparatus of E|S rule, we shall not flag or fail.
We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in o13, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in o12, we shall defend our Islands, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, these Islands or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our DIGG Alliance beyond the seas, armed and guarded by our LWS and spears, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the DIGG-Morkin-Angel-VALOR Coalition, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old."

1. There are intel rumors that Angel and Phoenix have made a separate peace akin to Morkin-H|F. Phoenix will be assaulting DIGG (intensity of attacks mounting), and Angel will be assaulting E|S. 75% "credibility-rating".
2. H|F did not launch on DIGG in the US Saturday-overnight hours as suspected. Still no notable H|F attacks.

1. DIGGers bolstered at MX's drop in the rankings to #15 and loss of 45+ islands in the past 2-3 days. Singing high praise to their Morkin brothers-in-arms. 2. DyersGoodness dealing some damage, but iansuggs of DIGG just cleared his main in o23 with a 50 LWS suicide (1800 spears killed). The famed Ninja Archer was onboard that suicide fleet 3. H|F actively attacking in o4, and o12 being systematically annihilated by E|S. DIGG retaliation in o24, o41, o51 likely to purge those waters completely of hostile forces within 3-4 days.

1. DBK of H|F sent the following message to DIGG:
"Greetings In H|F we have become very concerned with the War effort. We have been watching and listening to what has been going on and we have become increasingly displeased with the situation. The War was started by Digg, because E|S were taking 1 pointer isles with Cats, since this has escalated to an all out war between alliances that wernt originally involved. Amid this chaos E|S are doing very little, we have been very disappointed with their involvement, we have informed them of this many times, but they dont re-evaluate the military strategy, they seem more than happy to leave MX and phoenix to fight on their own with no assistance. For this reason H|F is willing to join the Digg side of the coalition and in return we would like attacks on MX and phoenix to cease. Regards DBK"
DIGG staff discussing the matter, but since Phoenix declared war upon DIGG for absolutely no reason whatsoever (their own forums indicate they simplly wanted a chance to destroy the "DIGG newbs"), there's much desire for vengeance and not allowing Phoenix to simply walk away untouched.
DBK's message corresponds with intel that H|F was divided and unwilling to fight a war FOR Ehre & Starke.
2. H|F attacks on DIGG remain quiet. Very few reports.
3. o1-4, o11-14, o21-23 facing most vicious fighting. Dr_eam being annihilated by DIGG-Angel forces in o21-22. Over 15 incoming strikes from Phoenix Sunday overnight.
4. o6-7, o15-16, o24, o31-34, o41-42, o51 becoming turkey shoots as young, eager DIGGers show exceptional levels of organic coordination to tackle hostile targets with a fervor.

We got the same message from them. DBK is happy for Troian and Mer to be wiped out. We're not that happy with not attacking Phoenix, I think, as there is some unfinished business, and then there's Die-as-Moron.

I dont understand. They are willing to join our side, but we must stop attacking? Will Phoenix stop? Will E|S stop? If they want to join our side, that means active participation in the war. DIgg has suffered losses, so has Angel, and Morkin just might start getting hit if Phoenix change direction. Thats not a suitable proposal....

We can stop attacking MX (soon) as there's not much left but I don't see why we should agree to stop attacking Phoenix, not that we've started yet!
Maybe we should agree and attack E|S instead? Then once they're done for we can take on Phoenix and if need be H|F as well?
Divide and conquer!

MX hasn't offered much resistance, and taking our Troian and Mer was always the primary concern, so if we're left to finish them, then that's our aim pretty much achieved and we could still satisfy HF with cessation of hostilities against MX.
As for Phoenix, unless I've misinterpreted what's going on, it's a case of "they started it", so perhaps HF should be looking to Phoenix to offer peace, and not us.

My thinking was if we attack Phoenix then we will have to fight H|F as well, due to their strange terms. Which seem suspicious.

My thought is that we now team up with DIGG to wipe E|S, and ignore Phoenix as much as possible for now. Then, when Lexx, Dr_eam and Observer taken out of the equation, we can then jointly turn on Phoenix.

It has been decided. We attack Dr_eam first and leave Phoenix. The mass spying which everyone did has produced good enough result as it is (for one their score dropped..someone big left). AHEAD!

1. New numbers from the Server Update a couple hours ago:
The numbers: PEACE Coalition runners: 21, or 1.9% TOOL Coalition runners: 25, or 10.5%
Isles PEACE Coalition has stolen: 343, or 7.3% of TOOL's Isles TOOL Coalition has stolen: 47, or 0.5% of PEACE's
NOTE: I'm pretty sure the guy who put this together is referring to DIGG-Morkin-Angel-VALOR as the "PEACE Coalition", and MX-ES-HF-Phoenix as the "TOOL Coalition".
