Vulture requests

[Dalfiatach]

I'm starting to get a few requests IGM from random non-Morkin players who claim various Orc isles, saying the isles originally belonged to them and they want permission to take them back.

In addition, I got a request from Lemonion/Biggles who wants to take an Orc isle just because it's nearby

We normally disapprove of vulturing, but what of players who claim they want to retake an isle the Orcs took from them?

Lemonion said:

Ares has an isle in O43 right next to a grouping of mine.

I wonder if any members of Morkin are going for it (or if Morkin is attacking Ares at all. Luxor and/or Corleth perhaps?)

I would like to take his isle in O43. I have spoken with Ares, and his account is almost fully depleted. He has stated he has no problem with me taking it.

Do you know if anyone is going for his O43 isle?

Any information would be appreciated.

Obviously this is pure vulturing and I don't think it should be entertained.

The other request from Lord_Denis of PAIN:

Well, I owned the isle (32:15:13) and got it to 1000 points with almost 2k spears on it.

Rewop wanted it, so he charged in, cleared it and took it. At the time, rewop was admin of Orclings.

After sinking numerous of his colo ships with fleet saving and stonie dumping tactics, they eventually got the better of me and got the island.

I did make a foolish attempt about making a formal complaint to the orcs, but they just took the mickey out of me

Could you list them?

Sounds like a case by case basis matter. Our guys get first dibs obviously but giving isles to players who we are well disposed to and/or might be useful to might be a good idea- you could even have a big feel good topic on the IK forum. Big up our Good Guy Credentials.

Trade the Lem isle for the stoners/cats maybe?

Taking and demanding is vulturing; asking is nicely (or even begging) is different.

Saying that stuff would be good.

I think it's fine if they ask, and if we're not interested in the isles anyway.

Those ocean 43 isles are being colonised by conkeror - he keeps failing with his coloships. Although he has colonised one or two.

Added; in fact Rahein is attacking them and colo'ing them off him.

I have been receiving requests from Dork (resist) asking if we are going to take down Torgan, So far he has stayed out of this war, If we don't intend to attack him I would like to advise this person to fill his boots if he wants to attack, obviously this would not be sanctioned by us.

I have had 3 messages in 2 days asking when we are going to attack him.
