Contacts and trusted sources have given me reason to believe EV is plotting something "very very soon" that intends to "knock DIGG from the #1 rank".
More info to follow as I glean it...

If EV went to war with DIGG, I'm curious, but where would Morkin stand?

I think we'd stay out of it. I wouldn't want to fight EV but would probably slightly favour DIGG, tough call.

We have a pact with DIGG, so it's fairly simple. If DIGG plotted against EV and started a war, we wouldn't really have to do anything to help them. BUT if it's the other way around, EV targeting DIGG, then I feel we have to help them. Otherwise why do we have the pact with them? Only for when we want them to help us?
Let's be honest about this thing. If we will not help them when they come under attack, say so now, so they are prepared for that eventuality. But if we want to keep the pact, we damn better honour it when we are asked.

To be honest, it sounds like both sides see it as inevitable, and are welcoming it.
While it will probably be FOIMP-EV vs DIGG, I truly doubt they will actually need help.

As usualy we help a pacted allied when he so REQUESTS it. If we dont honor it our reputation will be damaged. However, if we think that our pacted allied is in the wrong, we can drop the treaty. Such a diplomatic move requires a good deal of argumentative skill to explain why we abandon an allied when he asks for assistance, to keep our reputation in place.

Yes, we will help if they are being attacked and ask for help, but not necessarily if THEY attack first.

I wouldn't mind seeing DIGG burn a little. If they ask for help then lets fight for them, but I wouldn't offer it before they ask.

We cannot abandon treaty when war starts, only after its finished.

What are the chances of Rhino joining FOIMP if EV wages war?
Bottom up

I got an interesting one from Loafnut this morning...
He's a bit rattled, and DIGG hubris has set hold from the smallest players all the way up to the senior leadership - he knows that, and it has him nervous.

EV is #3 in the rankings, formerly H|F.
Loafnut is fhloop in-game, and a DIGG Admin.
