1. I have extensive ties with Pain and cman137 that I must be forthcoming about. Pain is currently living in my hometown, and we get along well on a personal level. As Admins, we often disagreed, but always did so in a way that could be defined as "respectful and cordial". He continues to offer "his first born child" to join H|F - an offer I continue to respectfully decline.
cman137, likewise, I have spoken to extensively. He has pledged that his fleets are at my service, and for a good month, was asking me permission to do things that he truly should have asked Pain about. I continued to talk to him because there are suspicions (out of VALOR) that he is a multi, and I am hoping to uncover a confession/evidence in time. He also inquired about joining DIGG, because he is discontent with the level of support he receives in H|F; potentially a KoM recruit?
2. H|F is currently lacking a good "tools guru". Pain has asked me several times recently about DIGG's tools, and if there is any way I could lend him DIGG's tech-wiz. They lack island-finders, claim databases, and espionage databases. It is a considerable priority for Pain.
3. Pain is running the show over there. The buck stops with him. DBK has stepped back to primarily account management (as I hope to do now).
4. H|F is well-aware that DIGG has "unfinished business" from the skirmish amidst the E|S campaign. They are taking the leadership position in ensuring the Tripod is more coordinated for Round 2. Their single biggest concern is that Morkin joins the fight, and their old-ocean strongholds are threatened.
5. H|F believes the war would entail a sacrifice of their holdings in outer-rim oceans, but believes they can flush DIGG out of the middle-oceans (o13, 14, 4). Their biggest priority in such a war would be to deal DIGG it's first "defeat" and instill a degree of humility.

PERSONAL ANALYSIS: NOT FROM DIRECT SOURCES
---------------
1. DIGG will be at war with H|F if Loafnut fills the leadership-vacuum currently within DIGG. They will call upon Morkin's support. The timeframe, if it goes as Loafnut intends, will be no more than 3-4 weeks. I do not know if H|F may preempt this, and if so, the timeframe.
2. H|F will decimate DIGG in o13 in particular, where DIGG has recently lost 4 of the 6 strongest accounts. o14 and o4 will be major victories for H|F as well, due to heavy DIGG depletion in what became the battlegrounds against E|S.
3. Pain is a man of his word. Even when the two of us disagreed fiercely, he was never deceitful, and always kept his word (even when disadvantageous to his agenda).
4. cman137 is a multi. He has maintained a few accounts for spying/suicide sources; or he has a friend doing so on his behalf. He is also somewhat of a "loose cannon", with his account self-interest superceding any other loyalties/friendships.

Then again, I'm equally biased...
