[Digg] Lend Lease?

[SkulkrinBait]

I wonder if this might be worth doing?

l3x Campaign
cc Alanreeves, AARP, and JRo

Clauswitz suggested I contact you if I had any suggestions for your ongoing l3x campaign.

One idea I do have is "Lend-Lease" - I imagine you are going to run short of colony ships fairly soon due to the volume of islands involved and the tactics I expect l3x to employ.

What I could do (hopefully along with my allies in FoM and Morkin, would need to clear it with them first) is to send your members gold and lumber to enable them to build colony ships quickly.

If you like the idea we can iron out the finer points.

Thanks and good luck, will have some more ideas for you later I'm sure.

We could send them gold/lumber and in return when this is over they can pay us back with a small amount of interest, or return cats to the value of the resources, something like that.

The Digg admirals are considering the proposal, let's have some comments - is it worth doing?

Its definately worth doing, I'm tempted to say we'd be better off using the res to build colo ships ourselves and taking any isles that digg can't. but in the interests of fairness i'd be happy to lend them the raw materials.( lets face it as long as l3X-x loses isles does it matter so much where they go ? )
One small point to consider would be what happens if the person you lend stuff to gets levelled or decides to quit playing before you get your stuff back ?

I'm sure we can get agreement from Digg (if they go for it) to repay anything lost due to players dropping out etc, they take their responsibilities seriously.

RE: l3x Campaign

the lend-lease program sounds like a good idea to beef up our colo ship inventory since it looks like things might expand beyond l3x-x soon.

what areas would the shipments be coming from? I can locate some DIGGers in the general vicinity that have the forces to support colo ships.

thanks,

Please post if you are willing to help with this and which oceans you are based in.

Thanks!

[2kcastle]

i can supply from oceans one and 11.

[SkulkrinBait]

Any more? This isn't a great response, there's no need to commit to sending thousands of each resource, fairly small amount would be worthwhile if a few of us agreed to it.

I'm just thrashing out the finer points with Digg now.

I can send some resourse from my o22 islands. They can contact me.

[Warliter]

I have some I can spare from O6, I haven't talked to magiter recently, but I think he had a Thousand spare out in O6 also

[blazed]

O 12 is me

[Pose]

I can do from o23..

further to this do we have any un assuming looking DIGGERS (or us for that matter)that may be overlooked by l3x-x, that are colloship capable and close to his larger fleets in o33? preferably 1 isle players

im thinking that these guys should be our primary targets when deciding where to fund collo ships, l3x-x will either realise and have his fleets tied down or we can fleet steel him as soon as we see a red attack bar.... I suppose these guys would be a good place to 'spend' the RRT/CRT isles that are well defended AND have colloships waiting..

that would leave us able to concentrate on his poorly defended isles without the threat of his whipping round with stoners drops etc

[SkulkrinBait]

The Digg admirals are well aware of fleet stealing tactics and I think they will want resources sending to the type of islands you mentioned POSE, but I will check with them when I give the next update.
