I'm a stubborn ole mule sometimes. I like to spit in the eyes of my opponents.
My only hesitation with suiciding out is that, at the end of the day, I am no longer a hurdle to my foes, and they ultimately have my islands and the last laugh.
I would sooner login 5-minutes a day to merely make sure my xxl is still running, and amassing hoardes of army and navy (even while the rest of the server grew to the point where my 104 isles was a pittance force), merely to await that inevitable day when DIGG falls on it's own sword and boredom.
IK is a marathon. Is the co.uk server not still playing? DIGG may not be defeated for the foreseeable future - that does not mean a day may not come where things will change. If we stopped all colonizations, what possible disputes could we have with anyone? Just silently checking our accounts even few days, for that eventual heavy-punch we could deliver at a time when it would do far more than provide a few glorious attack reports before our islands get ultimately absorbed into DIGG...

We can all quietly cheer for DIGG to be humbled a bit, but if we cast our lot with Pantheon, I have very little faith we'll be on this server for long. Pantheon is a dead horse - not one I'm willing to bet on. If you want a job done properly, you have to do it yourself... I've no faith in Pantheon's ability to actually wage an effective war either. The only feasible way to take down Digg would be for Morkin to lead the war with Pantheon as support. It's all they're good for. If Morkin joined Pantheon in a war on DIGG, not only do I think it would do wonders for Pantheon morale, but I think a good deal of other alliances would join in against DIGG. Not to mention that DIGG probably would consider that this was the entire server aginst DIGG, and their morale would be shaken. Any plan would involve Pantheon keeping up pressure on the general DIGG members while Morkin took care of the key DIGG players. And don't forget that Clausewitz has a great deal of respect for pain and a core of old EV players. No doubt the Phoenix element in Pantheon are hopeless cases, but among that many there has to be at least a few talents.

It's all they're good for. *shrugs* If Pantheon do declare war, I'd expect a wave of inept badly-coordinated attacks followed by a load of internal dissent, Pantheon collapsing within a week in disarray, and Digg left supreme with nobody ever willing to challenge them ever again. Is that outcome really in our interests? I concur. Pantheon is just a puff of hot air and nothing more. They can't do a thing against Digg. But is that a reason to stay away from them or take them into custody that i do not know.

Maybe we need to Split. There is no point holding forcefully those who want to go out of the game.
Those wanting to go against Digg will move to "The Foul" alliance and those wanting to remain will go to Morkin/Luxor.
"The Foul" then takes on the hardest Digg nuts to assure Pantheon has some chances to win.

Easy to know. As both alliances recently suffered Orc suicides, we both do a joint operation against the Orc. Its Tuesday. Propose operation to Pantheon. Launch spies on all Orcs. Ignore IGM from Orc's. Keep chatting to eventual DIGG IGM's By weekend the Orc are no more, or we have a full blown WW3 on our hands against DIGG who somewhere along the line thought they needed to make a stand against us.
BTW, its ajoint operation. No need to make a pact with Pantheon just yet. What are we waiting for? I'm asking Ringthane, André, Matija, Raistlin, Highlander, Soiram, Doomdark, Nottap (+ all Corleth) to fire up engines.
Natmus take the lead and show us the Orcish shores. Diplomats propose operation to Pantheon. Lets move. Chitchat is over!

I wouldn't be happy attacking DIGG unless we get some more "excuses" to do so, it would be dishonourable IMHO to attack our ex-pact mates so soon. Soft aren't I? I've no problem with attacking against overwhelming odds, so don't call me a coward OK!

We're not attacking DIGG, we're attacking ORC (with rightful cause).
If ever we end up against DIGG, it will be due to their interference, which means they'll orginate hostilities towards us.

Ach David, tis easy.
We attack Orc. Digg stonie-drop Orc isles. We accuse them in public of stonie-dropping the Orcs against us on the IK forums...about 15 minutes before our fleets arrive on Phil and Lemonion's shores.
Simple decapitation strategy. Ignore spoiling attacks by tiny Digg players and just keep on hitting the admins (and other Diggers with known warfighting ability)
WW3 breaks out, and utter chaos reigns for a week or two.

Lemonion had a single-island account for quite some time. Removing his traded-into account will do little to deter his leadership.
Same can be said for Meatpopsicle, and Loafnut.
Only Lane, Phil, and scoots have any degree of attachment to their account. Phil is particularly notorious for panicking when under direct fire.

I'm more intrigued as to how GodOfShampoo got this information than who the 'suicider' will be.
Interestingly enough through my talks with an experienced Pantheon friend he too believes Digg to be much more organised and proficient than Pantheon and doubts a war would last long without Morkin (or other serious) involvement. So far I have however asked him what the chances of Pantheon joining Morkin would be if there was a fight between Morkin/Digg first (I also noted that nothing of the sort currently indicated such a war).

Nevermind...it looks like plans have been changed.
The original Royal_Blood gave fluffy the account. I don't think fluffy is going to continue his mission.

I'm not sure the suicide of a 21 isle account would provoke a war anyway - it'd have to be something bigger.
