How do we play this?

[Cesium]

Sorry man, that's not enough time to get stonies from my stonie dump in the area. Where are the attacks coming from?

I'd be happy to kick it off. o42 is my home ocean. It'd be great to start seeing some action on the home front!

I don't have any offensive power, but I could possibly put together a 2k stoney drop in 042.

I'd like to remind that we are not in total war. Keep your cool and play along in the cat and mouse chase. Recolo if you lose isles, and take weak isles of him, but do not attack any strong isles.

Just lost 43:88:10 to Rahein. Will retake it.

Hmm, I think we may have to scale up our actions against Rahein.

Maybe appoint one member (make's him admiral) to oversee the whole operation over Rahein.
One person, regardless of ocean, can easyly coordinate others. Its what I do and have done, againts a whole alliance.

So anyone interested?

[Null]

I nominate Inyati

Hear hear!

[Shendemiar]

He's more or less admiral and with hands full.

I nominate FrieZ

Somebody with presence in Rahein's main Oceans needs to start organising this. That punk is really starting to annoy me on the IK public forums.

I suggest a short sharp focused campaign. Draw up a hitlist of 20 or so isles and we'll plan to hit them all at once. One massive co-ordinated strike to level or colo a bunch of isles that will benefit us (and which aren't too heavily defended).

If the colo fails, drop it and move on to the next target. Don't go getting fleets killed by letting him stonie-drop before you attempt to colo again: level it instead. Let him drop his stonies on levelled isles with no way for him to get them off!

Clear. Colo. If first colo attempt fails, burn it to the ground. And start working together.

Make the target list, then everyone can see how far they are from the action, set a deadline (3pm Friday UK time, whatever makes sense), and get swarms of clearing fleets from multiple players landing on those target isles within seconds of one another, and just minutes before the colo boat arrives.

Swarms of decoy fleets to every other non-target isle just to keep him busy.

As soon as the target list has been colod/leveled, drop back to defensive stance and be ready to stonie-drop any incoming attacks from him. At this stage be alert for either additional fleet-steal opportunities or isles which suddenly are much weaker and a target of opportunity. Take them if it makes sense.

But be organised and work together.

[Aesir]

I can pretty much guarantee I'll see the brunt of this once I take back the isle he stole from me. He's quite powerful in O22 whereas I'm spread quite thin. He's been aggressively spying.

Oh well, we'll see how it pans out

[Null]

I'd think the best spot to do this then, may be in o43? It seems Tom has most of o51 already colo'd or cleared. o43 has not yet been touched to my knowledge, and he's got 37 isles there, most of them newer and therefore little defense. I can help organize and attack in that area if we decide its an acceptable target.
