I posted this on the internal forums as a pre-cursor to the idea : We are hoping to try out a new initiative, similar to operation Europa but not as localised in about 2 weeks time ! The finer details will be sorted out much closer to the time of launch but this is just a heads up for everyone who thinks they could handle another couple of isles [ or preferably more ;-) ] In terms of scale and numbers I think that the more colo ships you can build in the next 2 weeks the better it will be. I'm planning on building about 20 :-) Everyone will be able to take part no matter what ocean your in, so can anyone who thinks they would be interested post here please so we can get an idea of numbers. Thanks ~ Terry McGoogus 28 minutes ago You have my attention Null 20 minutes ago I'd be interested. AeroS 18 minutes ago Ready for it.
Aeros still has luxor member status on these forums, could he be re-assigned so that he has access to this section as well ?

LinkThe link above searches digg for all the recent undugg stories containing the phrase digg. Might be an idea to keep checking it every so often.

I must admit i thought about that but i decided to include it for two reasons, firstly because with only two weeks or less likely to be available to us i thought it would be best to make everyone realise the urgency in getting ready so we can act as soon as the isles start appearing, secondly because as we've already carried out an operation based primarily on the expansion of our alliances i think we could make a convincing case for this just being a co-incidence if any of the digg management team were to raise the issue.

I was about to post something similar on the KoM internals but for the reasoning above. I'm 90% sure that if we were to discuss this openly it would get back to digg somehow.

I'm 90% sure that if we were to discuss this openly it would get back to digg somehow. That's obviously my primary concern. It would take DIGG all of 3 seconds to figure out where Morkin is getting this intel from, and they'd probably clamp down on some of my supporters over there to seal up the leaks.

Since Luxor and Morkin already know about this (I'm assuming morkin know) then hopefully things should be set in motion. I suggest a mail be sent round the admins of KoM only detailing something similar to the post on Luxor internal forums with a note attached that this is not for KoM members knowledge. While underhand its not that big a deal I mean they (hopefully) will notice when this happens and no doubt it will kick off another Ocean Europav2 on the externals (including spreadsheet!!! ). This limits the information spread. The reason for this is the simple fact that I still don't trust 75% of the members in KoM including eproxy . However people like RapSo and Calamity can be trusted. At the end of it its whether they score some extra isles or not so its not too big a deal.

We can recomend KoM members that having colonyships available is always a good option, as we never now when a "war" might popup.
(No more detail is needed and no need for ensuring that people do make colonyships. With this small innocent message some might take it under consideration and have a couple of colonyships in harbour)

We could try to set a military requirement for KoM that includes 1 colo for every 2-3 islands they have, along with other benchmarks to disguise the colo build request. Maybe this will encourage them to build a few without exposing the truth of the operation. Put building colo's as priority 1 since we had issues with being able to colo all the islands we cleared in the last war(I know we didn't have any problem with this but they don't).

If we send players in-game messages about this rather than just writing on the board it might have a greater effect.

How about this for a line as regards the 2 week timeline: we're gearing up for a multi smash up and share out- which we'll cancel when the "Digg effect" becomes apparent.
Thoughts?

Whatever sounds plausible but it needs to be done quickly if KoM is expected to participate fully.

DIGG has gone to DefCon 1!
Hold all attacks on GFY as this could be the flashpoint.
