So they've been poaching isle and they've now declared war on Digg.
I also reliably hear they've been in contact with their pacts (namely H|F and Phoenix) officially requesting aid. Seems like we'll be needing to deal with them either sooner or later, which will it be?
Sooner might have a better affect at detering H|F/Phoenix but later might be better if we plan on dealing with o11 first.

I asked Xianth, and he's not keen to start a war while he's still sorting out the peace from the last one... so Phoenix might not be in with it.

That would be nice.
As I told eproxy privately, DIGG can hold their own against Iliad. It will hamper operations against E|S, and slow stoners supplies flowing to Morkin shores in and around o3 - but DIGG will give Iliad bloody hell.
We'll be focusing on our good friend Mr. Kohr, and Aspen. The former launched the first attack, and the latter is the lynchpin to Iliad.
If H|F and Phoenix stay out of the fray, it'll be over in a week, and DIGG can return 100% focus to E|S.

I have also contacted H|F, but haven't heard from them yet. Also, I just sent this to Aspen, who offered us our share of islands from the spoils of this war: These are all current isles of Rob Kohr, MBA, who spells himself RobKhor1; presumably in an attempt to appear invisible to those who look for him.

Please, please, Please can we get involved! I heard news that Aspen felt he could muster up enough fine words to significantly keep us out of this war. And you know his herd of sheep? They all believe him.
We get involved, it would be like [MX] all over again. Allow Ashimar to post a similar message again. (We want your shoes, socks, and admin). My estimate is that 10-20 members would leave given some pressure without losing a ship.
Plus, unlike E|S, theres actually some isles to colonise in ocean 51 with this alliance. ;D

I think 'doing an MX' will be a new idiom within our alliance.
;D
"You know when we did an MX on Iliad?" "Yeah, they crumbled even faster than Troian's isle count"

Well to be perfectly honest, there's nothing I would enjoy more than smashing some fleets into RobKohr1. Also, a little flattery from the forums...
Aspen:
Sorry Lem, but your post was too long for anyone but Dudehammer to read.
Call me a liar? Prove it, and people will believe you, and dont just make up "mails" from me, or reports, or any other attempt to slight me. People just read these and feel embarassed for you, and shake their heads, and label you a leech.
And for those who wondered, and that is everyone in DIGG without their head in the sand, our terms of surrender are below.
1. Disband. 2. Stop holding mummies hand in everything you do. Note: By mummy, I mean Morkin. They are far too good for you to claim to be your allies and it is pathetic how much you try to mainpulate them. You are their bitches, not the other way around.

1. l3x-x asking for a Peace Treaty and cessation in hostilities. 2. Pain has offered to mediate. DIGG will not be accepting a peace that is not unilateral. We will not leave Morkin-VALOR-Angel hanging out to dry against E|S. I hope to be talking with Morkin admins over the next 24 hours about what direction they want to go with this. E|S is our primary concern and if anything gets us stray from that path it is their mindchild and makes them smile. I think negotiating any peace at this time will be very harmful. It'll show they can get away and back at any given time. Consequences for Illiad would have to be extremely severe. No goodwill peace like Phoenix had for them at any point.

We have already done extended amount of fighting, M|X, Phoenix, E|S, taking down some of the servers biggest players. And attacking is more wearing than defending. And now we should pick on 3 or more new enemies? Those all have their strong areas in O:1. Old strong isles. (See the Maps...) We should not abandon one target before its finished. It's a classical fuckup to leave the bad guys alive... E|S is our primary concern and if anything gets us stray from that path it is their mindchild and makes them smile. Capitalizing the situation in O:11 and O:12 is relatively cheap. It'll strengthen us in ways, and show clearly in the rankings. Also routing O11 and O12 is ever more significant if the conflict shows signs of expanding. After those we have relatively safe spot so with our backs secured by worlds edges. A lot better spot that E|S is sitting in O:3. Of course we still have punch but in the current situation i think we should use it a bit more conservatively from now on. Keeping us strong and frightening is the best thing now that we can do for ourselves and for our allies. I'm not saying we shouldn't kill Illiad or HF or Phoenix(again), im just saying we should finish our job with ES first and take our time planning and aiming.

If Digg believe they are in a position to finish just Iliad off in a week I say let 'em do it. We can always put a bit of pressure on those members of H|F / Phoenix (which are few enough as it is) that want to join in. This way we can carry on as normal and Digg won't be seen as 'our bitches' hehe.
I go back on all this; Morkin needs to make their presence known, and as soon as humanly possible. There are other alliances out there who wouldn't mind taking a cheeky peck at us, different targets for Digg/Morkin would seal that deal. Iliad might persuade H|F, not to mention that Iliad is full of ex-MX members who are also spread elsewhere (inc. Phoenix). I believe Mod-Axis would get themselves involved as well.

Bit of trawling around the web shows that Aspen seems to be a Geordie...
