Not worth going to war over so I'm glad something is in the works to prevent it.
Exalts to Ruku for the effort. I would hate to see these 10kstn/100cats land on our shores as attacks though.
Something to be catious of.

10 000 stoners means nothing in warfare, but us having clear conscience can mean everything for the alliance.

No, i trusted the list would come ;D But i will bail out after sending them it too. Thanks Clause. I merely provided a list of names - an easy task. You swallowed your pride for the sake of our moral highground - that is far more difficult to do, and far more admirable. THANK YOU!

Yes, exalts for thoughtful diplomacy.
I can put up a few 1000 if you give me a staging point. I assume we will send them to the island Marc hit.

Bah! This compensation smells more like a bribe to me.
On a more positive note if we can start up the propaganda machine to turn this into our victory, ie. we made the offer, we were willing to reconciliate and we're not the pretentious alliance most people think we are. I leave that for someone else to do. Let us turn swallowing our pride/honour into being honourable by avoiding an unjust fight.

As long as it's clear it's your decision to pay him, not mine and thus I'm not planning on chipping in.

Eproxy is right, if needs be we can change this whole situatiuon and make it about us and our honour. Still waiting for a reply, this was my latest message: 10 hours ago Proposal Hey, I have managed to get a couple of people agreeing they would rather pay compensation rather than war. Would you be willing to accept 10k stoners instead? It is literally the same amount in gold. I think some members are cautious about 100 cats as they could potentially be used against us Regards, Ruku

Try not to make us sound like pussies! Some of us wouldn't actually mind a fight Sorry for the vulgarity there but I really couldn't think of a better word. Added; Maybe we should just do what Makari did; keep them talking and pretend to offer them these cats/stoner but not inform them of the outbound colos/cats we have! Then when we colonise their isles we can just offer them 35k gold each.

It does make us look weak however we need to spin this as a victory.
Maybe something along the lines of we tamed a warlike alliance into submission. Something with just enough salt and vinegar to make it sting.

Spinning it as a victory could undermine our expression of humility...
I would argue that it would be better only to spin it as a victory if the Orcs trumpet it as their victory.

10k stoners?
That's nothing. I'll cover the entire tab. Let drop me an IGM to let me know where/when to send them, and they'll be in the water.

Well at the moment they haven't actually said they will accept stoners. I'm still waiting for Makari to read the post and get back to me, i'm guessing he went to bed then school/work.
How many people and who are currently in contact with the Orc's about payment?
