{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!}
Yes I do! They're in there! Look under Erebor.

Moria: We don't need to necessarily capture the High Pass, we just need to make sure MM doesn't capture it. If we keep him busy there, that'll force more of his troops to move in and assist.
That's the idea.

Rhun: We'll see what Thrawn gives us. For now, however, you're job is to secure the Forodwaith. Let 8L take care of Rhun. After the Forodwaith is taken, you'll probably be reassigned to either help him or EE.

Khand: That's what I expect too. Depending on how much Evil works together, Thrawn will either use Khand for his own purposes, or else to assist against Gondor or Rohan.

Gondorian enemies: Your best bet is going to lie in defending Osgiliath and Pelargir, and maybe Cair Andros or another northern crossing (but hopefully Rohan will be able to take care of that part). Both/all of these locations let you use the Anduin as a defense, and should be easy to set up fortifications in (especially with your head start). Don't push yourself and try to take Harondor or Poros (though, just for clarification, Harondor is on the other side of Poros). If you do that, well, first of all they'll beat you there. And second, unless you hold South Ithilien too, you'll be leaving your backside open to Minas Morgul. You're better off guarding the crossings at Osgiliath and Pelargir, and hoping that the Anduin proves to be a sufficient wall until you have a chance to strike back.

{JAMMERS! -GOOD- ONLY!}
Meh, most of it's gibberish (at least if you're referring to their council topic). I count ten jammed posts: four by MM, four by Shamrock, one by MLB, one by Thrawn. Based upon response patterns and unjammed information, it doesn't look like that have anything substantial. I'm guessing MM proposed some basic plan or asked what everyone planned to do, and Shamrock, MLB, and Thrawn each acknowledged the general plan or else stated what their starting plans were. Whatever it was, they didn't have anything too in-depth because Shamrock later suggested (after most of the gibberish ) that they do more planning. MM was the only one to reply to (and only by agreeing to the idea). Shamrock had one jammed post soon after his suggestion to plan more, my guess would be to suggest some slightly more detailed strategy. If that's the case, then it probably wasn't in full, though. It was probably an introduction to a plan, or else something related to it that'd have follow-up posts. I say that because MM responded with something in jammers (my guess is to ask where "it" was) and Shamrock said he forgot about it (again, there's a lot of unjammed stuff). Shamrock did have another stray jammed post, but it can't have been anything too important because it had no responses, and MM later asked again if Shamrock forgot about it. The rest of Evil really doesn't seem to be too involved in planning, so it appears that whatever plans they might have is only a half-hearted strategy for a few members.

Looking elsewhere, MM posted his plan (presumably just for his HQ, for his members) in Moria, but sadly the plan itself is jammed. He's got follow-up jammers to his members (Shamrock and Thrawn) also, but these are almost certainly just further clarification for Moria's starting plan (a few actually say that they're updates, most are addressed to Moria).
I see one jammer by MM in Harad, with no response (posted two days ago). It could be him asking MLB to help out with planning in their council topic, but I doubt that as I don't think MM would bother jamming such a short request that doesn't mean much to outsiders. Knowing MM and how jammers like that usually are, it's probably a request for troops somewhere, maybe a suggestion on what Harad should do.
MM and Tuvok look like they've got some starting plans for Dol Guldur (and probably Gundabad) in their HQ. It's just MM and Tuvok involved, though, starting right after MM was accepted into the HQ. Plus, MM requested to see Tuvok's troop list so that he can start "formulating strategies" (probably actual battle-plans), though Tuvok seems hesitant to publish them. So they've got some sort of goal planned out there, but it's only for Dol Guldur.
Rhun also looks like it has basic plans. 8L posted some jammers there, but based upon the fact that he's part of Good, that he said the post is twenty-thousand characters long (inside the spoiler, before he actually said they were jammed), and that (I think) he offered to help Thrawn with units, my guess is that that's the unit list. That leaves four jammers by MM (who started it), and two by Thrawn. MM replied to his own jammer that was in response to Thrawn's second reply, meaning that he either had something to correct in his post before (which must've been inconsequential, because Thrawn never replied), or else he had thought of a better plan overnight. Coincedentally, this amendment preceded MM's starting jammer in Harad by about an hour and a half (not as close as I should like, but still not too far). Could these two be connected? Unfortunately, as mentioned before, Thrawn didn't respond to the last jammer in Rhun (despite having posts there afterwards), so no extra information from that. He doesn't seem like the kind of person who posts just to acknowledge things though, so MM may have very well just told him about a new plan of his (not asking his opinion on it or anything else).

But about that conspiracy with Harad. Evil's council, Dol Guldur, Moria, Rhun, and Harad are the only evil topics with jammers in them. We already know that Shamrock's the one taking care of planning in their council, so we can ignore posts there. MM's the one who appears to be doing to most coordinating with plans, as he's involved with every jammed conversation of Evil's. Additionally, both his Moria and Dol Guldur conversations can be safely attributed to local plans, as there aren't any major discrepancies in response pattern, and MM's in both HQs. That leaves only Rhun and Harad where MM's involved where he doesn't need to be. He's clearly plotting or at least clarifying plans with Thrawn at Rhun, but his post at Harad is out of the blue. Of course, his post at Rhun is just as random, really, but at least we've got other information about there. If MM continues to go to Evil HQs with jammed posts, then it's most likely a coincidence, but it's also possible that these plans are connected.
So if they are, what would be the connection (and I'm just talking to myself here )? I think it can be safe to assume that if these posts are connected, then Rhun and Harad's starting moves (probably attacks) will be (in part) coordinated, if not combined. But anyways, onto the options. For the most part, Evil doesn't seem to be concerned with situations in the South (at least Shamrock isn't), nor should they be since they have double the troops down there. Option A is that MM wants Rhun to join Harad to crush Gondor right off the bat, though I somewhat doubt that because honestly, it's a waste of troops, and MM probably would've talked to Mordor about it too. Option B, the more likely one, is that MM wants Harad to move North and aid Rhun. But if MM wants Harad to go straight to aiding Rhun, he must either suspect that Rhun's going to be pounded from the get-go, or else they're planning an invasion (which I find more likely, as MM seems to plan more for the ideal than the actual). The next question that needs to be answered, then, is where are they going to invade? Their only real targets would be Erebor, the Iron Hills, Dale, or maybe Mirkwood. Given that we already asserted that Thrawn might invade the Iron Hills (in my earlier suspicions of enemy plans), my guess is that MM is orchestrating a joint attack there.
I know, there's really not a lot of evidence to support such a conclusion, but it seems like a possibility that Harad and Rhun might invade the Iron Hills early on. But sadly, MLB hasn't responded to MM's post in Harad, so we don't even know if Harad will or won't comply. Do you guys think this is something we should take into account for our eastern plans? Or should I stop overanalyzing stuff?



And onto my other thought. What I would like to propose is the Initiative for the Divination of Enemy Arrangements, also known as my IDEA. The details? Each person will be assigned to watch a predetermined set of posts. This could be posts in regions in a certain section of Middle-earth (or a specific list of regions), or posts by specific opposing users. Either way, the goal is to monitor all enemy movements. As often as necessary, users will post here reporting any notable happenings that they find, including troop movements and jammers. In turn, I (or perhaps someone else, but it'd probably end up being me) will keep track of all of the reports, analyze jammer context and troops movements, and try to figure out what Evil intends to do before they actually do it. We might even be able to publish our unclassified findings in a new LotR Newspaper.
So, what are people's thoughts? And would you all be willing to take part?
