[3:16 PM] enkelin: so you really think escalating this is a good idea for RE, huh
2
[3:16 PM] enkelin: you know you guys drastically overstepped your bounds this uni
3
[3:16 PM] enkelin: with the tithe, taking gals from Traders, SRX, SaP
4
[3:17 PM] DoW: Hola
5
[3:17 PM] enkelin: hola to you
6
[3:17 PM] DoW: I don't disagree with you
7
[3:17 PM] DoW: I said this myself, hopefully to DS as well as the rest of the leadership
8
[3:18 PM] enkelin: what statement are you referring to
9
[3:18 PM] DoW: overstepping bounds
10
[3:19 PM] DoW: Pissed off way too many teams all in one uni
11
[3:19 PM] enkelin: so what's all this about RE planning to retaliate
12
[3:19 PM] DoW: ?
13
[3:19 PM] DoW: where?
14
[3:19 PM] enkelin: I honestly expected smarter from you guys, compared to thrm
15
[3:19 PM] enkelin: please, you really think my teammates don't tell me when you make threats like that
16
[3:20 PM] DoW: me?
17
[3:20 PM] enkelin: "SaP space will die. RF space will die. SRX space will die."
18
[3:20 PM] enkelin: your words, not mine
19
[3:21 PM] DoW: "RE Space can die"
20
[3:21 PM] DoW: lol
21
[3:21 PM] DoW: maybe I should have used the word would
22
[3:22 PM] DoW: if Alan wants to quote the rest verbatim that would have been more useful for context
23
[3:22 PM] enkelin: oh I'm seeing the whole thing, trust me
24
[3:22 PM] enkelin: but if you want to walk some of it back, that's fine with me
25
[3:23 PM] DoW: So I'm sure you saw before that I put 'IF this goes the way it COULD'
26
[3:23 PM] enkelin: indeed
27
[3:23 PM] DoW: So there's nothing there promising a retaliation to anything
28
[3:23 PM] enkelin: I don't see how it could go that way unless RE are total maniacs
29
[3:24 PM] DoW: Well I wasn't even online at that point
30
[3:26 PM] enkelin: just FYI, the entire operation was conceived as a slap on the wrist
31
[3:26 PM] DoW: so where do we proceed from here
32
[3:26 PM] enkelin: we made sure not to hit any RE core gals, and in fact we were prepared to use diplomacy midway if it had been offered
33
[3:26 PM] enkelin: our objectives were to remove RE from SaP and SRX claims, and from anatolia
34
[3:26 PM] DoW: well played
35
[3:26 PM] DoW: SaP and SRX Claims?
36
[3:26 PM] enkelin: we took your HQ in order to have a bargaining position of cutting your ownership abilities
37
[3:26 PM] DoW: oh nvm
38
[3:27 PM] enkelin: so from the very first, it was always a targeted strike with no commitment to escalation unless required by RE response
39
[3:27 PM] DoW: good to know
40
[3:27 PM] DoW: so what of Sondadarla and Hipparcos or whatever now
41
[3:28 PM] enkelin: our terms are pretty simple
42
[3:29 PM] enkelin: 1) no aggressive action against SRX, RF, SaP, Traders this or next uni.
43
2) no contesting Traders emp claim for the remainder of the uni
44
45
We will hold Sondadarla and Hipparcos as collateral for the agreement, in order to have staging areas in the event of a breach.
46
[3:30 PM] enkelin: As you can see, the primary purpose of our terms is in line with our stated objective of correcting what we deemed was too aggressive play on RE's part
47
[3:30 PM] DoW: Collateral?
48
[3:30 PM] DoW: It cuts our teamspace in two
49
[3:30 PM] enkelin: that is correct
50
[3:30 PM] enkelin: if you breach our terms, it will be with possibly severe consequences to us or our allies
51
[3:30 PM] enkelin: sneak attacks are powerful things you know
52
[3:31 PM] enkelin: in that eventuality, we insist on having the ability to strike with much greater force, as afforded by lack of owned galaxies
53
[3:31 PM] DoW: Sneak attacks are especially powerful after a mid uni major base rehaul resulting in severe problems with bases
54
[3:31 PM] enkelin: Danger has gone over all of the claims about broken bases today
55
[3:31 PM] enkelin: he has found nothing of particular note, after a pretty exhaustive analysis
56
[3:32 PM] enkelin: you can talk to him directly if you want to know the specifics
57
[3:32 PM] enkelin: and as always, a breach of the peace would result in uni+1 consequences
58
[3:33 PM] DoW: Fruits is willing to refund kits for Hipparcos
59
[3:33 PM] enkelin: Traders has no great fondness for being the uni police. We wouldn't have taken on this role if it had not been for the quorum of other teams who saw things the same way
60
[3:33 PM] DoW: Well that's precisely what's happening
61
[3:33 PM] enkelin: Yes, because of extenuating circumstances
62
[3:33 PM] DoW: SaP can have Foxtrot and Fitnushel
63
[3:34 PM] enkelin: As I said at the beginning of this conversation, RE have grossly overstepped their bounds and it was determined by these four teams that that should be corrected, even at cost to ourselves
64
[3:34 PM] DoW: extenuating? Other than Roonan which was the action of 1 player we've done shit all to traders
65
[3:34 PM] enkelin: not just to us
66
[3:34 PM] enkelin: If you hadn't busted up SRX and SaP for that bogus reason, we probably would have let Roonan slide
67
[3:34 PM] enkelin: But DS has already raked you over the coals for that
68
[3:34 PM] DoW: If anything I think we've worked perfectly amimcably to maintain good relations with Traders, particularly between DS and myself
69
[3:34 PM] DoW: SRX lost 1 gal for shit KMW ruins
70
[3:35 PM] DoW: KM*
71
[3:35 PM] enkelin: You know full well that RE have been complete dicks to the player base this uni, and we and the rest of our group have had enough
72
[3:35 PM] DoW: SaP BVB'd us at uniset
73
[3:35 PM] DoW: exactly what happend in roonan
74
[3:35 PM] enkelin: I'm not interested in discussing your opinion on whether RE is or is not overstepping their bounds this uni
75
[3:35 PM] DoW: Again I don't disagree with you
76
[3:35 PM] enkelin: It was the determination of our alliance that this was the case, and we acted accordingly
77
[3:35 PM] DoW: but I don't particularly agree with Traders getting involved, I was quite happy with Traders - RE relations as they stood
78
[3:35 PM] enkelin: Sometimes actions can have global consequences
79
[3:36 PM] DoW: well you've brought it up twice now and I've agreed with you both times..
80
[3:36 PM] enkelin: We have friends on other teams, and we stick up for those friends
81
[3:36 PM] enkelin: Even in this case at the possible cost of RE-Traders relations
82
[3:36 PM] DoW: so do we, SRX lost 1 gal
83
SaP lost a load of shit galaxies
84
RF have lost nothing
85
[3:36 PM] DoW: Traders lost nothing
86
[3:36 PM] enkelin: Getting back to your offers
87
[3:36 PM] enkelin: SaP already have Foxtrot and Fintushel if they want them
88
[3:36 PM] enkelin: You are not offering us anything we don't already have
89
[3:37 PM] DoW: Fintushel has shit all in terms of defences
90
[3:37 PM] DoW: I said keep
91
[3:37 PM] enkelin: If you really want us to pull out of Hipparcos, it will be costly to you
92
[3:37 PM] DoW: Or rather, I intended to
93
[3:37 PM] enkelin: I am not super interested in extracting a surrender cost this time, unlike in previous Traders conflicts
94
[3:37 PM] DoW: So, fruts offer of refunds for Hipparcos kits, no retalliation against any team
95
[3:37 PM] enkelin: that's not sufficient, sorry
96
[3:38 PM] enkelin: if you really want team ownership, the cost will be steep because it's not really in the interest of the alliance
97
[3:38 PM] enkelin: the interests of the alliance are much more aligned with keeping RE in a knackered state this uni, to make doubly sure that no retaliation will take place
98
[3:38 PM] DoW: afk being a taxi
99
[3:39 PM] enkelin: lol
100
[3:39 PM] enkelin: Furthermore, the main reason you would insist on regaining ownership is if you actually planned to go on the offensive
101
[3:39 PM] enkelin: You have my word that there will be no alliance-sanctioned action against RE unowned gals if your part of the terms are satisfied
102
[3:39 PM] DoW: like that would stop retalliation from any of the teams
103
[3:40 PM] enkelin: And my word is backed up by the spotless way in which this 4-team operation was conducted
104
[3:40 PM] enkelin: Not to mention the fact that such action would be totally pointless and most likely just put us into a conflict with a desperate team
