Too many chieftains too few indians ;D

[Clausewitz]

What really chaps me right now is Werddrew still hasn't had the decency to contact me directly and discuss the matter.

Instead, he begins a campaign within DIGG to extract compensation (i.e. "take his isles").

Shen, are you advocating valor? Because right now, I'm feeling the right thing (for my tolerance threshold, at least) would be just to suicide on this guy and be done with it. The right thing, without regard to consequences...

[Shendemiar]

I meant the original act. You must have had a hunch how much "paperwork" it'll require afterwards, and you still did it. Thats valor.

By no means i'm advising to attack him even him rallying behind the scenes is annoying.

[Clausewitz]

Ah, indeed.

Just had 10 rapid exchanges with Rapax.

He started with "Is there some existing bad-blood between you and Werddrew that I don't know about?"

I proceeded to inform Rapax how Werddrew, on multiple occasions, has declared he is going to suicide on me since I failed to show undying loyalty to him in Staff. Given those pre-existing threats, I had no certainty that Werd would return the island if he sniped it.

Rapax proceeded to conclude that I did what anybody would have done, and that Werddrew misconstrued the facts. He was also a bit surprised that Werddrew hadn't so much as sent me a single IGM on the matter since it happened (minus the "of course you'll get the isle back", which was sent AFTER the incident, but clearly stated to appear such that he sent it prior to the attack landing).

I suppose I'll get to tell the story to another Diplomat in the morning...

[Shendemiar]

Want us to try to expel him from Digg?

[Clausewitz]

Definitely not

Staff wanted to expel him when he made the suicide threats back when I was Admin over there, and I was the lone voice saying, "He's just speaking in passion, leave him be".

I'll just regret not throwing him to the wolves then, and go about replying to IGM's Meanwhile, keeping this 17.5k ready if I am actually asked for compensation, rather than receiving demands to hear the story of what happened (I can only imagine how Werddrew presented it, both Lem and Rapax have been relatively surprised so far at the varying versions).

[Gornall]

If you want a break Clause mate send em in my direction.

I've nothing to do these next few days and would be happy to jump on irc with them or something.

Just send me an IGM I'll get on it if you want

[kae]

I could reason all of the admins into quitting the game, and not even have that as my goal!

[eproxy]

I just love the smell of burning LWS in a morning. Keep us posted

[Clausewitz]

Well, incoming spy from outsider of DIGG right now. Against 15:11:12, so not directly related to this isle in question. Seems a little peculiar, as I've never had an "oops!" spy from a DIGGer before. IGM's sent to a few folks, asking what's up. Will post what I hear back...

[Clausewitz]

I asked Phil what was up with it, and he said that outsider was/is one of Werddrew's "most vocal supporters".

Apparently, it's kosher that Werddrew boasts of "CE-v1" in his profile, and violates it by sending cats with his colo. But when stoners are sent, as per CE-v1 when cats are, it's suddenly foulplay.

I replied to Phil that I'd rather have outsider spy/attack me from outside the DIGG tag, or cease and desist altogether. God forbid I return spies, and he use it as some pretext for an "attack on DIGG".

EDIT: To clarify, I am not returning spies. I am 99% certain that is what outsider wants, so he can use it as a pretext to escalate.

[Gornall]

Don't know how you kept patience with Outsider. I'd have turned his isles red by now.

[Clausewitz]

Easy to keep your patience in this case.

He's trying to provoke and antagonize me. I won't give him the satisfaction of playing into his game.

[AeroS]

Again all the action is days away by LW. Can't you guys piss some one off in O32?

[Clausewitz]

I figured our Pastor friend would appreciate my "turn the other cheek" strategy...

RE: Hello there.
I colonized it approximately 16 hours ago, several hours before you launched the spy.

It's quite alright my friend. I am well aware that you are one of my most outspoken detractors. I will continue to turn the other cheek. I have been thoroughly cowed, and learned that CE-v1 is second on this server to DIGG Colo Policy, regardless of whether or not it has been signed by allied alliances. Feel free to send cats with colonyship at prebuilts, while boasting CE-v1, and rest assured that I will never again take corresponding action to protect the structures.

15:11:13 showed up on woofcats as a newly uninhabited island yesterday. Further I had never received the big flashing warning about making an action against an ally. Did you just colonize these islands?

RE: RE: Hello there.
Well, I do find one part of that statement accurate.

15:11:13 is also mine. At least I know you were attempting to spy one of my weakest colonies...

I know tensions are high and you may not be apt to believe me but I had simply misread a number in the daily woofcats update. I probably need to increase the font because I can never read what it says. I was aiming for 15:11:13.

Sorry about that.
