Illy

I wanted to give everyone a chance to make amends and wanted this to become an opportunity for this to realise. I really believe that people can change their ways and I will support this until the last of my Illy days and in RL also. I'm sure that many of you are with me on this point, this being a very over-aged community at least concerning the Vets around here.

I sent the invite in the hopes that I could've been able to give any newbies a lot of resources in their needs. But the main point was to kick-start my new alliance with a lot of pop under it's new belt and I really thought that people would listen to reason and no one is beyond salvation, as I do not believe in the death penalty. I got ~N~ where it is today, ofc with a lot of support from Myr and also the other officers involved. I hoped to repeat this feat (we will hit the #1 page of alliances pop in the next weeks, seeing that CD did this: Founded at: 24 April 2011 18:12).

But then I got the feedback from the community as a whole. I just want to tell you this: I have never attacked a player since I joined Illy, only sent 2 Thieves missions to his closest city, that was the only activity that I have indulged in since 15th of May, against an active player.

I have received a very influential player's mail in full gratitude for what he was about to do. He contributed to the way Illy is today more so than I think that I'll ever be able. I do believe that this was to my own benefit and his intentions were pure. He thought that I was wrong about this and he acted in consequence. Many of you do not know me or what I'm capable to do. This can only lead to speculations on the manner you would've thought that this would've went thru. I really thought that I could place any new caracter into his place. Maybe I was wrong about this shelter thing, as many of you expressed that opinion in Illy (even thou this is an Ad Populum argument ;) , not to mention that it came down to Ad Batum ;) ).

I was devasted by the outcome, I really thought of leaving Illy, I had that thought for a few days now, decided on staying last night... Like I said before in another occasion, I now have invested too many sentiments towards other players (many of them becoming my friends now), too much time and some money on my part (During my few months here I have only been able to see no movies and only one documentary and that is Baraka - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103767/ ; this IS something great and if any of you see it and if you won't like that, then I will give you my accs altogether! ).

I really think that I'm now obsessed with Illy, this is another addiction to put under my belt. How many of you haven't gone to sleep because you had business to attend to here? "Oh, wait another 10 mins till my army gets back, just a few minutes until my quests go live and also THE MARKET!!! Have to check on it before I sign out and go to sleep! COMMANDERS also! Just a few minutes until my army gets back home, have to send it out again, so that my Commanders will have a competitive XP in Illy! Not to mention the IGMs! This goes out to any other would-be alliance leader. The whole replying thing to IGMs will get tiresome at some point...

Hope that I don't have anything on this subject and I would like to receive your feed-back. I thought about this post for ~24hrs now so I hope that this covers many of the unclarities.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Dev Team and hoping that they will always add new content onto Illy. I commend you guys...

Regards,

Vec

Edit: I'm clapping for the way Illy is today and the Vets brought it to this and also the devs team that are constantly upg stuff and making this a better place for everyone ( even thou I haven't seen this gameplay in any other MMO ).

Take care.
