G50 - Harad, Under new management

Greetings Freep & DS in Game 50,

As a result of Michael being MIA his account running low for
my "maintenance" of his nation, it has been decided that rulership
will be transferred to me. With this decided, I want to conduct some
quick negotiations/discussions of the benefits/negatives of joining
your respective alliances in an effort to end all hostilities in the
Middle Earth Realm.

Primary points of consideration for discussion include:

1) Team communication (the more, the better)
2) Game balance (will the current balance be affected adversely with
the addition of the Harad and should I care)
3) Team communication (get the point?)
4) Anything that you would like to add for consideration.

Chris, new & improved ruler of the South
