Before I start, I'd like to preface to please let me know if I get to backhanded.

The way the situation lies right now is like this:

• Comped has been asked to develop the Island close to Bryn by Grundeswald.

• Asked Nico to help, which is honestly the best thing that could have happened for us.

• Comped is pushing the Farley-War League but needs more teams.

• Grundeswald wants to have an establishment on the island to defend their land claims to that spot.

• We would rather not see heads nor tails of the radical Grundies close to our cities, and the claims are pushing boundaries we've already agreed upon.

My solution is something like this:

• Nico works with Comped to build this estabilishment with the resolution that all previous claims are null and void. We use connections with Ryden in the UIA to ensure that this territory is free to choose its own path, separate from Grunds/UIA/NEA/Bryn/Fellowship/Everyone.

• We then push for the establishment to join both the UIA AND NEA, with the precedent being Centauri.

• We sway comped through initiating conversation about building up the Farley-War League, perhaps make a committee for it to move some of the organisational concerns about him away.

• We can also try to push for the establishment to become an arena facility for hosting the games or something along those lines. (I've been talking to him about rules and set ups and its actually pretty cool.)

This accomplishes the following:

• Farley War!

• Fewer Radical Grundies nearby

• Continued cooperation with the UIA

• Much more calm situation

• No actual fighting!!!

Let me know what you think,

Cheers,
