Reading many of these posts on this forum, many of the "evils" that H? is being accused of are actually statement that I personally have made both in GC and Forums. As a Director of H?, I understand how my exclamations have been attributed to H?

They are mine. And mine alone.

Please do not attribute any of my past comments to H? proper. I apologize for offending folks. Maybe I should have said this before offending folks. Good point. I've gotten a bit of an epiphany given recent events in my life... So. It's the best I can do.

I'm not saying this simply because we are outnumbered. If you have been offended by my statements, take it out on me, not H?. I think a lot of the hate is towards me and not my alliance and I welcome you to focus it on me. I'm pretty imperfect. In fact, massively so. But please focus all the bile that I've caused on me. Think of me as another NC member. You won't have a problem exterminating me that way... ;)

Given that I'm not allowed to post here, I'll probably no longer be an H? Director after this, I highly encourage you all to take advantage of this! Pummel Kumo!

But... if you all choose to continue to attack H? in general, I can assure you, you will spend a very very active 18+months clearing H? out of the SW and we will throw ourselves into it... Good luck with that...

And reading over my post, I realized I didn't say something very important:

I'm sorry if I offended folks.

People will read whatever they want to read into what someone says, be it positive or negative.

I'm sure i'll probably be sieged out the the game and go down in new Illy history as a 'gc troll' because of what I say, though most will ignore the fact I was also vocally against the trove war.

Only thing I can do is stay the person I am, ignore the threats and taunts, and play a game the way I want to...with no fear of what I say being misinterpreted to be used against those around me.

I know I can speak for most of Illy in saying that we want no part of a game where you get attacked for joking around in gc, roleplaying, having heated discussions or pretty much anything else done in gc or igm.

Kumo, I understand why you would not "be allowed" to post in here, given that some of your former posts tended to escalate conflicts and were indeed insulting in some points.

But I really hope this one, apologizing post won't turn out bad for you. Nice to read, and it was important, for some people, and for yourself, I'm sure  Thumbs Up

Thx, Hora. I appreciate your mature sentiment.

Yeah. Epidemic subjecting to ridicule is probably the first...

I should have known that gracious winning is beyond this group...

Go ahead folks. rub it in...

Kumomoto,

It's healthy to say uncle when your bone's about to break.

Now, I will renew yet again my call for peace in Elgea:

As one recognized leader for your alliance and allies, please do the honourable thing and allow your alliance as a whole or its individual members to settle, carry on in peace and put this fight behind you all.

You did allow this to happen as a victor when VIC had its back against the wall at the end of the Consone war. Your terms were quite harsh at the time but eventually survivable. I sincerely hope that your enemies will offer you a similar kind of choice. There is no sense of achievement in going out Alamo-style.

I will last quote Plato as I am fond of his following sayings : 

" Only the dead have seen the end of war."
 &
" When men speak ill of thee, live so that nobody will believe them. "

Best,
Tatharion
Consul, Invictus

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong.

Plato has written other things as well though :

" For neither in war nor yet at law ought any man to use every way of escaping death. For often in battle there is no doubt that if a man will throw away his arms, and fall on his knees before his pursuers, he may escape death; and in other dangers there are other ways of escaping death, if a man is willing to say and do anything. The difficulty, my friends, is not in avoiding death, but in avoiding unrighteousness; for that runs faster than death. I am old and move slowly, and the slower runner has overtaken me, and my accusers are keen and quick, and the faster runner, who is unrighteousness, has overtaken them. And now I depart hence condemned by you to suffer the penalty of death, and they, too, go their ways condemned by the truth to suffer the penalty of villainy and wrong; and I must abide by my award - let them abide by theirs. I suppose that these things may be regarded as fated, - and I think that they are well. "

The whole part is very interesting too Wink

if anyone has time : http://classics.mit.edu/Plato/apology.html ... I think you will enjoy it Smile





Just like a "before and after" ad ! ahahahaah :p

Well no offence people as this statement is made because they are outnumbered and alone now being humble wont help as at the time when those statements were made there were no regrets but why now?

Go ahead and bathe in your vitriol, Darpa. I'm not being humble in some half hearted attempt to save myself. Quite the contrary. I'm simply trying to take responsibility for my actions upon myself. And I certainly am not crying uncle, Tath. Please re-read my statement.

Oh, and Tath. Please stop pretending the Vic terms were harsh. You lost less than half the cities we have already lost.
