Last night a small Ockerboy SFS team recaptured Dead Finish from
Kalvis' drunk and sleeping sentries.

When the population woke that morning their chorus of joy drowned out
even the crows usual cynicism.

The battle at Dead Finish is over but the war continues.

I still lay claim to all of Kaunieciai by the way. And all of Hermis
for that matter, after his expected surprise strike at Tuckerbox.

It was the only thing not surprising last turn!

Famished or full my flies will eke their ways into the corner of your
eyes, blinding you, angering you until your judgment itself just flies
away with the dust.

So far all harshy words we hear only from Bub. It seems this man usurp
the right to speak on behalth of TS, as nobody else of them wrote a
single word about the situation. Somehow it looks like not all the TS
members share Bub's radical oppinion. Perhaps they can clear their
alliance from this warmonger themself (I haven't see any rule against
attacking alliance member) and take some more peaceful ally instead of
this tyrant.

PE-WJ-Diplo [OckerBoy]: Alliance Victory

from the rules, http://www.powersedge.net/archives/WJ/rules.htm
Rule 4 
Single-Alliance Victory: This Universe will only be restarted through
an Alliance Victory (no New-Era voting). See the Leader's Guide for
the Alliance Victory rules.

They wouldn't 'win', if they attacked themselves.


I understand an alliance is the only way to move into a new era, and
'win'. (Single nation dominance is not specifically included or
included in this, from my reading of the rules. Unclear)

from the guide
http://www.powersedge.net/?Page=guide

B.
# Dominant Alliance: If this option is used, a New Era will be
launched whenever the following 5 conditions are met:

1. First, there must be a public announcement that a single
publicly-declared Alliance of Nations controls enough Regions. (If
Announcements are not possible in your Universe, the Moderator will
make this Announcement for you.)
2. Second, to be counted as part of an Alliance, the names of the
Nations (not Leaders) belonging to that Alliance must be modified to
indicate membership, using the "Rename" Action. (The usual method is
to use the acronym of the Alliance, so, for instance, if a Nation
called the Roman Empire were to join an Alliance called the United
Nations, it could be renamed as Roman Empire UN, or UN Roman Empire,
or Romans UN, etc.)
3. Third, the dominant Alliance must control at least 1/3 of all the
Regions controlled by the Major nations in the Universe. (The number
of Regions owned by Major nations is now reported at the end of the
international news each turn, just before the Standings. Currently, to
be counted as a Major nation one must border another nation, other
than the Independents.)
4. Fourth, that Alliance must also control at least 3/2 as many
Regions as (a) the next-largest Alliance and (b) every Nation not in
any Alliance.
5. Finally, conditions 2, 3, and 4 must be sustained for 5 consecutive
full turns following the Announcement. (That is, the Alliance must
have proof of its dominance in 6 consecutive Newspapers.)

Ockerboy, you didn't got the idea - 
they can attack their own 'black sheep' to free the space for better
ally :)
