I'd like to weigh in on a few things Jobless...
Firstly;
You state here you don't need underhand tactics like poaching members. Moments before you claim;
This is not the first time in the past 24 hours you've stated you have players waiting to join you, somewhat contradictory.
Then you also call out a BOLD player on them apparently merging with Pnut, this is clearly some random rumour thats come out of fresh air but when asked to back up your claim you post the following;
Firstly this screenshot is a conversation between duke of baba and the duke of *Rim* so would hold absolutely no validity in the diplomatic relations of Pnut and BOLD anyway,
Secondly *Rim* duke has deleted his half of the conversation before sending you the screenshot, so not only does the replies to him have no context, it does beg the question what Rim duke was saying to baba when he decided to start this rumour by sending this to you?
Anyway, The Hound replied to you screenshot and you said;
It may interest you to know that the screenshot you posted was of The Hound talking to *Rim* so his claims on this matter probably arent as false as you think, and it also shows that as duke of the rank 2 tribe on this world you have seriously been doing your research into this worlds leaders and diplomacy
You have also stated in this quote that you tried to get BOLD to war Pnut with you, clearly even you think your tribe needs help fighting Pnut! When BOLD turned you down is that when you decided to invite Dwarf to the war?
