What about our declared war on 187-isle Rahein?

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. 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. It's possible to have LMS moving at 3 knots by not building sail tech all the way to level 10, though it's not possible to hold them at 2 knots. In an old desperate trick from my last days on .uk I sent my remaining colo boats alone in fake attacks to draw stoner drops to those isles while keeping my battle fleets headed for other isles and doing damage. I have an isle with 7 colo boats and I'm not afraid to use them as decoys if the situation calls for it.

I've got a lot of colo ships i could use as decoys to draw stoner drops if we think it could work.

Another edge I think we can target is Digg admin workload. We threaten Diggers by IGM, give them message to pass on to their admins, and IGM them with bizarre claims. Occasionally, we carry out these threats. Clog their event logs. Whatever.
I don't think that destroying their isles will do any good but being a Digg admin seems to eventually cause burn out.

We could try and invoke the Clause Syndrome.

If you think that a colo ship is about 39 LWS in resources, they suddenly don't look that odd as suicide fleets...

What could work better is to use it on the players who would call in the stonie drops. Phil299 would be an obvious candidate as would any of their female OCs like StarryNight. The Boys will jump to protect the girls. We could also use some standard flanking tactics. Concentrate attacks in part of one ocean to get them sending stonies that way before shifting the focus elsewhere. This could be a long war and being able to sustain it will be important. We could just go all out all over the place, but their propaganda machine is very effective and could keep the masses focused.

Some of us would need to put coloship production in overdrive if we really plan on carrying this out - we'd need a hell of alot of keep on doing it.

All my isles are set to produce colos and I have 2 isles that have been producing cats 24/7 for the past month or so.

Domhnall's suggestion is brilliant. And I only have 100+ colonyships...

inyati: Contacting Okeanos would be similar to contacting Pantheon no? ^^ Added; As a side note I really think we need to step up operations against Rahein - conkeror is recieving attacks now. I know it will be a blow to our forces with all those spears but otherwise he'll just continue to attack us and wittle us down.

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

Rahien is not showing alot of offensive power in my oceans. He has a good number of spears and stoners but no more than 300 LW's on any island so far. It would still cost me my full offensive power to take him down but it can be done.
