Well Clause, thats one way to tell them I'm also very unhappy about this comment: "this situation will inflame the already tenuous relationship between DIGG & Luxor (Morkin, etc..)" I'm behind you all the way Clause, as i'm sure the rest of Luxor is Exalts

Oh how quickly relationships sour.
While werd is definitely in the wrong here, you still probably shouldn't have dropped those stoners.
But I understand where you are coming from. And now that we're in this, we'll stick to the guns.

Exactly Kae. In truth both of them are in the wrong to some extent but I can see why clause lost it. Clear sniping attempt and well deserved. Fact is Clause is luxor, and I back him to the end

I believe that island went to enfuego, in fact I am sure of it. 43:21:11. Knowing how many colo's we both had in the water, we both agreed to DIGG's policy of first there keeps the island. We agreed on this before either of us had taken a single island. ******************************
He took that island from me with cats an hour after I colo'd it, stoney dropped it during negotiations and I got a small island in the middle of nowhere as comp. *******************************
I asked him to have a Dip get a hold of me but he request that we deal with it ourselves. In the end I offered him a full colo ship and he agreed to it. I was not forceful and he never complained. It seemed to me he was happy to get the full value for his ship. ********************************
thorak over colo'd me with cats. I asked for full comp for the colo ship and 8 cats and he kept the island. ********************************
I also have a dispute with JRo. I said that the island was worth 10 cats to me. Whoever kept the island sent 10 cats to the other guy. He happily took the cats and complimented me on how easy I was to deal with. ********************************
As long as DIGG Diplomats aren't involved, I have found DIGG members to be generally easy going and friendly. As you can see, Sometimes I get the island and sometimes not. Lemonion is an asshat who mails me for a reasoning of my compaint against DIGG and then dismisses me with this line Don't ask me questions on how to improve relations and then call me and angry dwarf. I am an Angry dwarf but I don't need reminding.
EDIT: used \ instead of / for my quotes. That doesn't work so well.

Don't ask me questions on how to improve relations and then call me and angry dwarf. I am an Angry dwarf but I don't need reminding. Exalt for this line alone! Funniest thing I've read all day. As for the isle, I'm current engaging in text-warfare with Lemonion. He is spamming my inbox, attempting to break me with volumes of paragraphs, semicolons, and verbs. It's to the point where I really needn't bother copy/paste it all, because now he is simply asking for some small token of comp so he can have something to show for his effort, and bring back to DIGG so that he can look good. Yes, perhaps I should not have dropped stoners. Perhaps I reciprocated the wrong of Werddrew. But there's simply too many cases lately of these not going well, and knowing Werddrew as well as seeing his actions, it seemed painfully evident that if he took the isle from me, I would not be getting it back.

I think you should find it in your heart to give some compensation. If necesarry I will carry the cost behind the stage.
I find it important to keep our friendship with DIGG intact. For several reasons, mainly because most of the DIGGers I encounter are good people. It must be the tsunami hunters that crash with the rest of you guys, and they may be somewhat different from the rest. Another reason I think we should keep DIGG happy is the presence on Pantheon. If DIGG feels we have their back, they will be more likely to end up in a confrontation with Pantheon, which is what at least some of us (you) want. Finally, if tehy are going to use words to fight iwth, I suggest that somebody bribe Marc with a couple of fine red wines, and get him to retaliate with verbal carpet bombings of the DIGG diplomats.

What kind of compensation would be appropriate?
The primary reason I do not feel it is rightly owed is because had I not cleared the isle, his fleet would have been lost to the existing defenses anyways...
To be honest, the only thing I find in my heart is animosity that he tried to snipe the island, and then couldn't be bothered to communicate anything in response to me until after the otherwise-avoidable fact.
If I need to give him a day of my LWS production, I'll be quite irritated. I'll do it, obviously, if it is required - though such imposition by DIGG Diplomats will only breed further animosity towards DIGG, the kind of which can only be borne through the genuine belief that you are being unjustly persecuted...

I'm probably not in the position to make this comment.
But I don't see why Clause should pay anything. I think it would only encourage DIGG's rash behavior.

I don't know how much compensation is in order. Half the price of a colony ship, given you both had military losses. That is more symbolic that anything else, but still a small victory for their hardworking negotiations team.

*Clausewitz grumbles to himself and goes off to put together 17.5k gold*
Assuming they don't keep pushing the issue, I'll consider the matter closed.
