Operation Infinite Dickery

Operation Infinite Dickery was a raid declared on First Earth Battalion by the Forite Order of Raids and Anarchy on March 18, 2010.

Casus Belli
The First Earth Battalion had been involved in Operation Clam Bake by threatening to attack FORA for raiding TBOC. A post on OWF seemed to indicate that FEB and TBOC considered themselves to be a single alliance under two AAs. Interestingly enough, FORA also got wind of discontent about FEB from other alliances-Alpha Omega complained that they were aid scammers, and Sajasabie, an old FORA foe, was even willing to preemptively raid them in concert with the Forite Order.

For all these reasons, but mainly for tech lust and boredom, the Forite Order initiated Operation Infinite Dickery on March 19.

Progress of the War
brownto, leader of FEB, began complaining about the unfairness of the situation immediately, to Princeps' amusement. He then left his own AA to take refuge in Iunctus, but as the FORA government has good personal relations with one of their Triumvirs the situation is expected to be resolved handily in FORA's favor.

FEB lost 10,000 NS within the first two days of fighting, both from the relentless onslaught of the FORA attack and from several key desertions.

Diplomatic Communications
The official government communiques did little to resolve the conflict, but they sure were amusing to read.

Apparently AO doesn't like you scamming aid, and you've ticked off a bunch of other people too.

We don't care about any of that though. Your tech is pretty and must be ours. Although listening to your impotent rage is pretty rewarding too; your tears are sweet like honey.

If you don't like it, get a protector or a bigger alliance next time.
