NC

I like SB and would join his alliance in a real war game, the problem is Illyriad is no war game.

I can't speak for all the mentioned aggressive tactics claimed against NC, mostly because I didn't pay attention for most of my game time, but I can speak for some of what I witnessed in the NC/BANE war.

NC received help from 3 alliances; TVM, RES and Tcol. Could this be why those alliances were declared on?...I don't know. BANE was already merging with II before the war even started so saying II jumped in would not be accurate.

The war was brutal and the war reparations NC demanded would be considered outrageous if everyone knew. What was it, 2 cities per player involved? I know of at least one BANE player who did not want to lose 2 cities, I don't blame her, so NC proceeded to wipe all her 10 towns from the map.

This game will never survive high handed tactics like this, chasing players from this game will destroy it fast.

I've always said this is no war game, it's a social game. Those of us who have played real war games like Evony, Travian and Tribal Wars look at this game as retirement. I've said my peace. Correct me if i've made any mistakes from my interpretation of events.

NC grew by fewer players than Bane.   II leader Venita stated very clearly in GC that II were going to Bane because they were bored and wanted revenge.  The merger story arrived significantly later.

Finally - please prove your last statement - AFAIK it's complete BS and an example of why everyone thinks they "know" NC are bad guys.

My last statement that a player was wiped off the map? It is well known that a player with 10 cities was destroyed because she refused to concede 2 cities as war reparations. She was a neighbor of mine that I tried recruiting and she informed me of everything through some IGMs. I've long ago deleted the mails, as I don't keep any mails. Clutter issues.

2 cities per player for a conflict about a sov square? Undisputed reality seems far worse then any bad-guys-rumours
