MORC?

An interesting IGM from some old DIGG buddies...
I asked him if they intend to go through the MORC tourist outfitting company, but haven't heard back yet.
Before I get more details from bod, is this something that is even viable? Is Morkin going to endorse members moving temporarily to MORC to take on Rhino and his minions?
I obviously wouldn't do it if it would be frowned upon - and would have to give it some serious thought if it was deemed kosher...

From what I understood from Lane's message, MORC is no more, so if ORC will be helped, any additional members would join ORC. Random minor detail.
But yes, I've posted something similar to this in a couple of other posts. If Morkin allows, can I be allowed to move to ORC as well, temporarily of course...?

I'd be in for the mighty MORCin power rangers. This buying account crap is not cool.

I talked to Sol a good deal about this in the past hour...
PRO's: We can stand up to these FOIMP shenanigans. We can put some of these idle LWS to use.
CON's: We would be inviting retaliation from FOIMP, and potentially EV. Such retaliation would essentially leave us standing as 6-7 people, plus the defeated and broken Orcs, against two of the Top 5 alliances. Speaking for myself, I would give them hell, and my kill ratio would be extraordinary. But in the end, the 6-7 of us would join the Orcs in their grave. We would likely be unable to return to Morkin until the matter was settled, at the risk of invoking FOIMP-EV strikes into Morkin and escalating this into an alliance-wide war.
I'd really like to get some input on this matter. I'm not particularly keen to die for the Orcs, but I'm never one to turn down the chance for a good challenge...

The solution to all this needs to be more decisive. Are there any friendly alliances left out there other than Digg?

Not to jump off topic here or anything, but that is a concern I've had lately. I mean, we don't really have any close alliances as friends, other than DIGG, and those guys aren't always on our good side either. Maybe we should start some campaign to get good relations with some alliances...

That's why we help out orc? Maybe E||M...Dhaaran seems reasonable

I founded E||M with Dhaaran. They'll fight for us whenever we need. If we wanted, I'm sure we could have a pact with them.

Yeh, I've been in an alliance with Dhaaran before, maybe we should message them...

That's funny, because I was thinking of E||M as well. Great minds think alike.

E||M is certainly a great choice...but they would also be somewhat limited in what they could help with offensively are they not? Near exclusive to the north-east? (maybe I'm wrong). They are also tied to D|D, EMPIRE, PAIN as well....though I don't particularly like D|D or PAIN I agree though, we need to try and get some stronger relations going with alliances other than Digg.

SUPERPOWER (on a level of their own): DIGG
1st World (capable of immense power projection globally): Pantheon Morkin+ Triad Valheru?
2nd World (capable of moderate power projection, mostly regionally): Orcs Empire/PAIN/DD/E||M Lamb Ghost Angel
3rd World (no notable offensive force): The Rest
There's the list, for the most part...

Great breakdown!
I think if it comes to mass war, Pantheon will stick with the Triad in an attempt to "finally take down Digg". As a result, I really feel it will come down to where the 2nd world groups end up....Digg and ourselves may be able to hold together against the Triad + Pantheon (though I think it would take a HUGE toll), but if the other groups jumped in on that side as well....it may quickly become insurmountable odds.
I don't think we can do anything to sway Pantheon. Even if we somehow turned around and had great relations with them from here on out, I think they'd jump with the Tried at the first chance to take a piece out of Digg, just out of opportunism more than anything else. So I think we should put focus on the 2nd world as Clause laid it out.

They are also tied to D|D, EMPIRE, PAIN as well....though I don't particularly like D|D or PAIN They dominate o6 and o7 along with a decent force in o16. Looking at some numbers now, we outnumber [Pantheon] and the Triad when we merge in those eastern oceans. [DIGG] has fairly large amount there as well. A pact with [E||M] might be pointless as they've stated many times that they will fight for us without the pactmate title. I don't like [D|D] much either. Didn't they try to war [Empire]? I've gained some respect for [Empire] for not leaving the server while taking some beatings. [PAIN] is okay in my book. Some nice people over there. I never hear much from [Ghost]. I've run into weynk a few times with colo disputes that are always solved without a problem. Should we try perhaps recruiting some of them?
