The news is that Digg plans to attack us.
We needed this new category since Clausewitz and Aesir have access to the other one, and some question their integrity.

We need to organize the Merge. Everone move to? Morkin?
When accepting people DO check their ID name is not good enough.

Yeah i guess, if we don't chatter in the ingame forum it doesn't really matter whos in there does it?
Maybe we should ask pantheon to merge with us. And everyone else for that matter...

Merging could force Digg to act too early, however it could also implicate Pantheon in tipping us off - and lose their support.
Can someone get onto Pain as he could be a catalyst in bringing Pantheon's hot heads to the battle.
I think the 24th would be the time to merge as it would tie in with the whole Digg/Pantheon treaty expiry.

Tipping off DIGG to our source? We should get his opinion too.
We could announce that due to combined operations against Rahein and Orc (and/or suggest that the 'impending' Digg/Pantheon war is worrying us) we are now on a full war footing.
We need to get moving on the RDI too.

I am assuming we will be fighting a largely defensive war espcially in the early stages- we weather their early attacks (perhaps making an example of someone occasionally (Phillo first)) and wait it out. Generally look unappetizing really.
Also, not be the aggressor. A lot of DIGG seem to be daytrippers and I see no value in upsetting them and dragging them into it.
If we can survive for any lenght of time the vultures alliances may side with us under the impression we are winning.
Thouhgts?

Its just like any other war. We fight to win. If we need to defend then we do that as best as we can. However the most important part is the public opinnion. That'll decide how it turns out.
And i'm not too convinced of their abilities on what i've seen their attacks on Sol. There are lots of abandoned accounts they keep alive, and not many of them are willing to attack the old oceans where aour main power is.

Maybe merge to Luxor again and leave Doomdark or Rorthron to hold the fort.

Are we strong enough to go offensive?

I would say we have the firepower to take down the primary targets in short order.
Expect the non-combatants to provide massive stonie drop support but only limited counter strikes.
We would need to shift the attacks around in order to avoid losing fleets to stonie drops. The surprise attacks by DBS caused a lot of damage that they were not able to counter in time.
Something new to try would be fake colo attacks: Large merchant attacks with SMS fakes to get them dumping stonies on fleetless islands.
If possible we should also start tracking when primary targets are active to send attacks when they are offline. (Henning has that all in hand and I'll put together as the data comes in)

Are we strong enough to go offensive? Ringthane on his own is a nuclear threat, and Arminius (or me) could always hijack Harlquins death machine...the bio-holocaust. Actualy we'll always win, because of our group persistence. Our true threat are the Orc, because they play just like us... New alliance be either named Doomdark or Xajorkith ;D Morkin's fine as well. Logistic to merge isnt that much a problem. Other ideas: Recruit Hawk, hawks Mercy on the ORC in trade for a secretive alliance against upcoming war. All in the name of roleplay

I don't think we can talk to anybody about this, yet, at least not the orcs. We just could call ithe war finished thou.
