I am all for staying out of that one. I have wanted to drop our pact with DIGG for quite some time. I know it would be lousy to do it on the eve of war but its all chatter right now. Lets get out from under this hulking beast of an alliances(DIGG) before it suffocates us. This secret ploy they had to colo Puttana! using the DIGG.com announcement would be a good reason to get away from them. We could give them a peace treaty on the grounds that they are manipulating the server with external resources and not sharing with thier pact mates. A peace treaty would ensure that DIGG would not retaliate and we would not have to come to their defense or even get involved. I am tired of being DIGGs defenders.

Let's rename ourselves E|S, S, WAR and MX just to stir the DIGG admins up a little bit more.
;D

I don't know. One minute everybody is bored and thinking of selling up, suiciding, or leaving in general, then a big fat war comes along and now we should stay out of it...

Because this war is crap and is not worthy of my spears. I can also say...why do we want to jump so quickly to this war, when we were so reluctant to jump with ORC?

Because Digg haven't gone to humiliate other players to the same degree ('teapot')? And because Digg communicate with us, rather than act and let us sort out things diplomatically?

BTW by no means am I eager to jump into this war; it's just that the causes are a lot more transparent than the Orc conflict. And unlike Orc we've got a pact with Digg. They have helped us a lot in the past, as have we.

This is a serious question,
when did DIGG help us in the past?
I thought we jumped in the E|SMXPhoenix war because DIGG summoned us. And, again, correct me if I'm wrong, but the only reason we know about the DIGG effect is because Clause told us? I don't see them cooperating with us to see us grow at the rate they're growing. To me it seems that DIGG have their own nice agenda (not saying that we don't), but we're just a nice commodity to them when it comes to war.

Well, they did send us loads of stonies, fought hard, and gave you a new account after all...
I'm not saying they're angels, but I still feel that we have more in common with them then with FOIMP or Pantheon. And I also freely admit Digg have changed for the worse recently, but still...

They only gave me a new account because my other account was killed because I was trying to help them. If they hadn't asked for help, the account wouldn't be dead and I wouldn't need them to give me a new account. As for the war, I'm not suggesting we join the side against DIGG. I'm suggesting we remain completely neutral.

I think we should let DIGG fight this one out on their own. The more resources they have to divert to wars reduces the effectiveness of their recent colo whoring. In a way this stunt could have a far more negative effect on the server long term than RKs credit card. He has backed off and is distributing the islands throughout the Triad.
At the moment they are far more closely aligned with Pantheon than us, however they still at odds with the Triad alliances while Pantheon sits the fence.
Pantheon would not align with FOIMP given they currently have a member fighting for the Orcs with the full blessing and support of Pantheon.

when did DIGG help us in the past? How about the 40 000 stoners you got ;D They have sent some serious suicide fleets and lots of stoners, but that were actually their war. Other than that, we haven't really needed any help ever...
