Hey just want to let someone know that I colonized this island over AeroS, but he said to keep it. Then I got over-colo'd by Rahein, and when I got colonized there was an attack coming in from BlueEyes1992.
This was my message to Rahein:
This is my first colony dispute, any advice as to where to go from here?

Was the isle a 1 pointer when you got it?
As he did send catas to a 1 pointer isle.

3 catas is overkill for a 37 point isle :S
Obviously he had plans on taking the isle no matter what :S

I agree with Cheese on this, and even though it might sound a little demanding considering the fact that it wasn't a 1 pointer, I think that he should pay for your colo ship and that you should be allowed to take back the isle.

Okay, so now prenumerant (pantheon) has over colo'd Rahein. However, I did get a message from Rahein, a CC from the message he sent to prenumerant.

Reguardless of who owns the isle now i think rahein is responsible for your losses and any compensation that is owed. He/She catted the main house down on one of your isles so its up to him/her to make it right, either raheins got to get the isle back for you from whoever ended up as the final owner or he's got to compensate.

This is the problem with sending cats with colo's. How hard is it to send a cat fleet and a colo fleet. The cats will always arrive first and you avoid messes like this. I think any colo attempt with cats on board, regardless of the size of the island, is a hostile act. Who gets compensated in this mess? Who gets the island? I say calamity gets it and let the other 2 fight for comp.
EDIT: Try to find out if the Pantheon player sent cats. That way he would have knocked down your main house also.

Calamity is at work, so at her request, I've been dealing with this one for her.
Rahein is asking the Pantheon guy for 10k gold, and then trying to pass it off for the Pantheon guy and Calamity to sort it out between themselves.
Per Calamity's stated preference, she's not concerned about the compensation so much as getting the island (she only has 2 currently, and has been looking for a third for some time).
Hopefully this Pantheon guy is willing to play ball, and she can have it back by tonight or tomorrow.

Interesting.
prenumerant is claiming he took the island because he is "merging" with Dionysus. Dionysus has 73 islands, while prenumerant only has two (including this one in question). I've never heard of such a "merger", and it reeks of multi behavior in my humble opinion.
He merely offered to "help find [Calamity] another island to colonize". I replied, as her, that such as a very undesirable outcome, since she will have nothing to show for her lost coloship and successful colonization, and only be put back to weeks of looking for another island (not to mention, this one is <5nm from her existing feeder isle).

She got it back from prenumerant a few minutes ago. She sent him a message basically saying "Do you have any problems if I take it back and waive compensation?", which he read some 5 odd hours ago and never replied to. blueeyes of Valheru has notified her that he has a cat fleet coming in an hour or two, and a colo fleet later tonight, but we'll both be awake and one of us will remember to get the MH upgraded after the cat fleet. Hopefully this settles the entire fiasco. She'd have posted this herself, but she's currently baking me some brownies  |

Dionysus is also "merging" with JohnnyKalma who has been on the verge of idle forever. I questioned Dionysus(AKA EvilDave) about the possibility of attacking johnny and a couple days later he was in a merger with him. I believe johnny was a real player but gave his pass over to be merged instead being attacked by myself.

It all sounds confusing :S Personally I have my doubts and suspicions about Pantheon. That and their admins just remind me too much of X (of Master_X) who suddenly became a tw*t when he bought that big account and found some friends to go with it. No-one beats Fearless at being a pirate (sorry to all the non-.co.uk players who mightn't understand those references)!
