Diplomatic efforts to explain this as a pre-existing conflict that GFY brought with him, and referring to the Orcs for the story behind it, should be sufficient.
My contacts indicate DEFCON 1 is in response to heightened tensions they've been having with FOIMP.
DIGG is stretched thin at the moment. My contacts indicate the E|S "suicide blitz" hurt them more than island counts indicated. Roughly 20% of DIGG islands are <500 spearfighters.
I would stake my reputation and account that their DEFCON 1 is not in response to Morkin or the GFY issue - though it would be good to get diplomatic contacts over the GFY issue ASAP.

I'm still waiting on more info.
It could be a precaution at their end with GFY being a potential point of misunderstanding.
We could do with some inside info on FOIMP to gauge their status.

Oceans old & new

Generally speaking the oceans fill up in rows, from o1 to o7 then o11 to o16 etc. I believe that it is only once each of all the current oceans have 500 'main isles' each that a new ocean will open. Ocean 43 is quite empty so I believe that will be filled up first, followed by ocean 52 opening up if enough join. Or at least thats how I understand it worked on IKUK, if it doesn't happen I'm probably just plain wrong

O42 is also lacking in islands. I don't think that its more than half full. I am poised for a big windfall if not for the timing of this Rhinokiller think. One moron gets himself a raging inferiority complex and all my colo Puttana! plans get sucked down the shitter.

Anybody monitoring digg.com or new player surge?
Today is supposed to be the day they launched this thing - assuming nothing has changed in the past week...

I constantly fought with that one. Basically, you can pillage and burn anyone outside the Top 20 you please, as a way to "keep players from getting bored". This is how [CANADA] happened, and it is under this rule that J-Ro (to cite the most recent example) is currently "harrassing the hell" out of a few single-island players in 14:38 - "I want them to quit! 14:38 must be mine!" And people wonder why I left DIGG...

I didn't realise this, I thought they had similar doctrine to Morkin regards not bullying n00bs - it will kill the server and make it even more orientated towards Digg. This is even worse than the Orcs IMHO as the Orcs did sometimes go after bigger fish.
Maybe we should all visit the Digg site and bury the new thread?
Or setup a Reddit alliance?
;D

There's informal guidelines about not bullying players, but the official policy is that if they're outside the Top 20, and not treatied, they're fair game.
Always rubbed me the wrong way - [CANADA] was an unapologetic land-grab.
I know more than a few Top 40 calibre alliances that are a group of office co-workers. I've spoken with former [ARCANUM] members extensively, and this describes them precisely. The idea of just hammering them for no better reason than grabbing the isles they chiseled out (without the vast intel/tool networks) never sat well.

There's two left; shall we invite them to join KoM? No! We offer protection as in they can be our vassals (but no need to pay tribute). What they can do is place that we guarantee their independence (protection) if they play the game fairly (or at least in our eyes). Anyone does them wrong as in bullies them, then they have Morkin on their backs as well. They are however free to follow an independent policy of treaties, pacts and expansion. As long as they play fairly, and dont also start bullieing, then they have our "protection".
