Well, there's gotta be something that can be done here. Really, this is crazy. Both of them getting tied up just as their responsibilities pile up. Ironically, if we had started the merger a week earlier, me and Milkshake could have leant a hand in the busy threads.

Not so, since the merge is only completed once the ORS-TNO war is over.

They should never had attacked TNO in the first place unless they had enough members to fill in should they be elsewhere.

Well circumstances were different at the beginning.

Namely several factions were attacking, so we had enough members, but then we were all making treaties, and TNO waited until everyone but ORS was done writing treaties and suddenly said "Wait! Now we're not giving one to you" and continued to attack them now that they're all alone.

That's why they havn't got enough memebers to defend themselves.

ORS doesn't have a treaty with me.

Bizarre.

Because what I remember happening was that Griff was asking for peace in a fight he'd started but didn't want to pay anything for it. After a number of what you might call "diplomatic bungles" including you guys breaking into locked forums on TNO and stealing ours plans, then sharing other privileged information, we decided that clearly ORS didn't really want peace -- they just wanted the fighting to stop before we actually did something to them.

...Oh yeah...
