DIGG news

[digital]

When the merge comes, systems16 will be be left behind, I can get hold of the password if needs be.

[Lord_Reed]

Same old tactics, cut the head off. Concentrate on taking down their heirarchy and DIGG would be one big disorganised monster waiting to fracture. It must be a nightmare to keep that lot internally co-ordinated, never mind moulding them into a cohesive attacking force

[domhnall]

I'm not sure that will work. Players we destroy will get new accounts- like Sol did. According to Clause, Phil was the only Digg admin directly attached to his account.

According to MeatPop (on the IK.com forum) he is also a Digg hawk- altho our animosity toward him is well known* and so I suppose it could be part of a ploy to make us go after him. Bit far fetched prolly.

Ideally we would find ways to discredit their hierarchy and make attacking us an unprofitable exercise so that the general Digg pop would lose interest.


*Could this be useful?

Plan 2:

Everyone (except me) joins Pantheon. Then Morkin (ie me) announces a 'preemptive' war against Digg.

I start a massive flame war on the IK forum, spy/fake attack until I run out of sms and sws and generally make a nuisance of myself. I don't what good it will it do apart from being enjoyable.

[Shendemiar]

Well this all can be just a test for our resolve, or it can be one of those crazy ideas not taking wind onder the wings. Digg is, under confusion right now, that needs to be remembered.

As for the Plan 2, joining Pantheon might be cool trick.

[Warliter]

On the chance that this is real, how abouts we release to the other intelligence section our 1st day major assault plans in a war with digg.

This way we can mis-direct them if clause/Aesir is passing info from our boards.

possibly setting up some preemptive stoner drops, which we can then avoid and hit other isles?

Not a properly thought out idea yet.

Pain has contacted me recently about the best way to attack DIGG, potentially I can sound him out for a merger between us and them.

I think they would jump at the chance.

Someone give me a green light and i'll IGM him ( obviously I will advise that its my idea and I would have to try to persuade you guys before anything would happen)

[inyati]

I'm not interested in joining Pantheon at all. I rather die here than there.

[domhnall]

How much offensive power do Orc possess? Do we need a way to keep them out of the war completely?

Could we get a two month Peace Treaty guaranteed by a neutral alliance?

Getting them to turn would be best but unlikely.

[Shendemiar]

Lets merge ourselves first. I guess everyone agrees with that part?

60% of the orcs are totally empty... Thay are nothing alone, but a minor thing to consider in the whole scheme.

[domhnall]

Peace with ORC could have useful PR implications too tho.

Hyping up the Mercy could weaken Digg rational for war.

[Shendemiar]

Yeah it might

There not much to lose if we make peace

But it needs nice posts to the public forum quick.

[ashimar]

Warliter, I suggested Pain contact you, Inyati and/or Dalfiatach as you three are "fresh" and the others have (as far as I can tell) other commitments or are just not the right persons to deal with Pain and such.

Frei, we can't fake a colonyship by sending a large merchant. They travel at 4 knots, not 2, unless I misundestood what your plan there was.

Merging with Pantheon would be VERY unexpected. For us to give up Morkin would seem incredibly selfless and a huge morale boost with lasting effects on the general Pantheon population. The difference between running away and staying for the 'honour' of serving with us. Btw, I almost want to vomit now... ;D

Inyati, I can understand you want to stay in Morkin, but let's give this suggestion to merge with Pantheon some thought. I think us morphing and then merging doesn't work. It takes too much time and the shock and awe effect is minimal when we morph one day and merge the other day, unlike with us merging into Pantheon staright away while still keeping our own forums ofcourse. It's like 1+1=3 if we would do that. ;D

Leaking false info to see what Clause or Aesir does with it, is ofcourse a good idea as well.

I liked the idea of Domhnall just for the idea of it. I can imagine him being a terrible nuisance somehow. ;D

2kts, 4kts. It is simply a slower fleet and players would jump to the conclusion it is a colo rather than a large merchant. It will only work the first day but could cause a lot of stonies to be sent to islands they can't be removed from.

Just remember most players are not calm and collected when under attack.

[eproxy]

I think it's pretty definate what we need to do; we just need to get on with it.

• To do. We need to stop new attacks on [Orc] and finish mopping up the last few isles we want.
  
• To do. Then we could do with forewarning Luxor/KoM members of a 'merge' - let them assume, at least at first, that it will be a Morkin merge.
  
• In process. We'll also need somone contacting Pantheon about a merge. If they say no we can always try negotiate a pact; if they say yes we plan the date and time - preferably before the score update.

Added; admittedly some Digg players are less experienced but if it doesn't move at 2knots I always know it cannot contain a coloship.

[inyati]

We cannot contact Pantheon on the merge. Too many infiltrations, and DIGG will know before hand.
We can just rely on Okeanos (Dasneal), and tell him that we'll merge with Pantheon, on a specific date, and having him accept us.
We can also not merge with Pantheon but rather have them merge with us....and if this is a bigger logistical problem, then lets merge with them, but they change their name to SHARETH

As for the orc, what we could
do is start entertaining some orcs via IGM (Like we did withh oooggg-whatever). Talk friendly, break barriers, and possibly in a friendly ambience have them ask us to stop, or what it'll take to make us stop. I think it'll be a good way to end the war, and even make friends.
