He's bought up the Noob, who bought 200 cats off werd75na. Obviously he's got big plans...

Also, he has been eating a lot of pinky_and_brain's isles after they sold out. Besides playing a very agressive game in terms of expansion, I think rhinokiller actually knows how to play this game, and has a good deal of strenght on his isles.
I hope his plans are not directed at us. Not because he would have a chance, but it would be expensive to bring him down.

I've watched Rhinokiller closely since the Great War as well.
If I'm not mistaken, he was with Phoenix for that portion of the great affair.
He went toe-to-toe with DominicUNT (now DominicUH). He lashed out a great deal of pain, and was able to do so from a position that did not leave him vulnerable to fleetsteals or retaliation - an ideal warfighter. DIGG sidestepped attempting to tackle him, and convinced him to sit out the fight (again, if I'm recalling correctly).
Hence, his strength was only moderately taxed in that war.
I do believe that Iliad has far more animosity towards DIGG than Morkin, and any of Rhinokiller's malicious intents would more likely be aimed their way than ours.
I for one have no problem letting DIGG deal with him, if he comes out swinging. Along the lines of the Arminius discussion of "Is clearing X spears worth it?", my recollection is that Rhinokiller's isles would take a year to pay for the clearing expenses.

Yeah, he's quite a powerhouse. I'm on good terms with him, and he's a friendly fellow, though he seems a tad illiterate. He's 21, and lives in NY from my conversations with him, and he's quite reasonable. I do think he fears Morkin, or at least, he fears me, since we're very close neighbors. I'm pacted with him, and I really don't think he's harmful.

Basicly it was also due to Cesium's and Ringthane's closeness to his o11 islands, that he stayed on the margin of the war. Ringthane did send attacks his way, but it was also convinient for us to not tackle him due to his already large empire at the time.

He also bought up Void, Magnaccia!, and joshuajd79, if my sources are correct.

So you're allowed to buy as many accounts as you want and just merge them into yours?

He's also got a deal with Orion of [EV] to purchase stoners over the course of the next six months.
Still working on determining the quantity...
This one just keeps getting more and more interesting the more I put the microscope on it...
