Per Shen's request...
NOTE: This is DIGG's dossier. Please don't take any perceived slights as personal insults. I contributed to the dossier they built, but I didn't write the whole thing.
1. Old-school players run by a handful of ik.uk'ers.
2. Highly respected in large part due to their ik.uk exploits. Single most influential alliance in terms of 'soft power'. Only threat to unify the Top 10 against DIGG lies here.
3. Sizable fleets in old waters, source of many stand-off skirmishes due to Morkin+, H|F, E|S, etc., unwilling to send those fleets on long-range ops for fear of fleetsteals.
4. Aesir/Gauge has close friendship with Natmus. DominicUNT has close communications with many. Both have eroded over time. Clausewitz has become the point-man for any communications. ( <-- I always enjoyed that part!) They're veterans and we need them more than they need us - only speak through established lines of communication to avoid offenses.
5. Rocking-Chair players. Amass potent fleets in wait for the cataclysmic Rome v Carthage wars.
6. Highly decentralized leadership. No multiple tiers such as DIGG - small enough to work as relative equals. Difficult to establish lines of communication due to lack of centralized leadership.
7. FoM seemingly uncoordinated and with many rogue elements. Corleth and Morkin proper are where the real punch lies. ( <--- perhaps outdated, but the longstanding "report").
--------------------
Happy, Shen? Unfortunately no "Shen is an incompetent old man, probably yelling at children to get off his porch as he plays IK" bullet points in there
There are obviously many more facets and elements that I couldn't help but glisten from my time with TFM and close work with many Morkineers, but I kept those to myself. This is merely "DIGG's file", so to speak.
