I do actually know some details about that. I believe the original player quit long before the war and the account sitter decided to suicide the account rather than surrender.

My understanding contradicts this.
Also, a few hours ago it never happened and now you know details?

Not Correct. She was active.

Any way to establish that or who the sitter was?

I know the details because the sitter himself told me.
Argrak - when I asked for details no-one had mentioned a name or the correct circumstances. Once the name was mentioned I knew who was being referred to.

Yes. Infact the largest alliance all claim to discourage this sortof behavior on their alliance page.
However the current state of confederations and private treaties have given diplomatic immunity to the Coalition of Awesome, as KP calls it. In essence, if you are awesome the rules don't apply.

A few hours ago noone had mentioned this.
I have no knowledge of the matter, but since we are talking about "understandings" on the matter, hey, here is my 2 cents.
Iiirc the people that got wiped out of the server can be measured with the fingers of a person's hands and historically no alliance has ever moved to systematically wipe a player from the game
unless there was a serious reason or provocation.
So, such a rare occurrence should have been a huge "scandal" or at least a matter of lots of talks for days and so forth ... and suddenly, at least a month later, people start bringing it up out of the blue and noone seems to have solid facts on the matter .?.
I seriously doubt that there are no facts
or that everyone is as fickle with their IGMs as Epidemic (dude what clutter .?. I have IGMs from two years ago ... they do go to another page after a while you know
 ) so, I find that the only reasonable stance on that matter is to wait for some facts and not "understandings".

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.

I had several conversations with Shamarra about her circumstances. She was asking for help, all she wanted was to keep her towns. I stuck my neck out and asked Aesir if they could convince NC to not destroy her and let her join us.
I don't understand why you're calling for peace, which I am definitely for, but you're still defending them. Let's get down to business, sit with the major players and work something out.
This game is dead if this war isn't diverted.

Crap, here I thought this was a pretty unique game that had an element of war in it. Damn it, I've been playing it all wrong then!!
