sounds good. As already mentioned, the shorter the better, and the fewer involved the better.
The Orc need to save face on this a bit, and we are hungry for some blood. We both win with this idea, while at the same time keeping the bulk of our strength for more important/worthy future battles.

I assume we are sending stoners and cats to our "champions"? We need to pick those who are powerful (doh!) and online often.
Volunteers?

We only need one member (Ashimar), and it could be all the Orcs. All we need to make sure is that Marc has enough spare colo ships

Another solution that I can propose is that we simply agree with the Orcs that this thing doesn't go any further. What has happened, has happened, and can't be undone. However, if things escalate, more things will just happen and especially the Orcs will not enjoy that. Or, if Ashimar agrees, they can be allowed a response that is precisely proportional, and nothing more. Obviously they will not be allowed to wreck Marc's account, even if they could.

Makari has already indicated that he's unwilling to simply "walk away" from this one. Azagh said that Makari is a former Top 10 player from ik.uk, and isn't one to back down...

In that case, I think we need to get in touch with the Orc admins to agree on some ground rules for this conflict that seems unavoidable. Mainly, is it fair to target any player of the opposing alliance(s), or are players protected against attacks until they actively decide to become part of the fight by attacking or spying? Also, how are we to stop it again? Can one side simply surrender, or will they have to accept some losses or such? And how about calling in more allies and pacted alliances? Are we trying to keep this a private brawl, or are we all prepared to let it escalate into WWII?

The Orcs know their arsenal is no match. I wouldn't be surprised if they're already calling on DIGG for stonethrower support... I can't see them being adverse to WWII, nor can I see them accepting a "limited brawl". Tough situation

Surely our pactmates (DIGG) wouldn't support Orc in a war against us?

It is likely I've had dealings with them before. Surely our pactmates (DIGG) wouldn't support Orc in a war against us? It wouldn't surprise me if they did send stoners as we might be seen as the aggressors; besides some of Digg doesn't like us very much. If anything we could do with pre-empting that move and give Digg our justification of attacking (that colo fleet Makari never told us about despite being in diplomatic talks).

Solution talk may be moot at this point. Otak has declared a de facto state of war.
