Do you disagree, did you not read my post or are you just expressing an anonymous but somewhat unrelated opinion?

I read your post and came across comments like this
 " I feel strongly that the reason Harmless? declared war on our confederate Invictus was that Harmless? fears that of the growth in playing a game of building and collaboration will take away the importance of the wargame that they are playing and thus reduce the control they feel and their “winning” of the game as they play it."

So you are declaring war on "warmongers" who are defending their ally, by declaring war you are in turn defending your ally.  Why can't these war declarations just simply say you are aiding your ally without so much propaganda?

" we have never done anything aggressive to the wargamers, we have always been accommodating and striving to make peaceful and rational decisions and agreements"

A war declaration doesn't sound very peaceful to me.

" We have declared war on Harmless? at this instance because we believe that if we do not stand up now and defend our way of playing the game by peaceful building, then the next alliance that grows big from successful application of those ideals will be the next target for attack – or worse, the game might deteriorate towards one of many similar wargame clones and the joy of building, exploring and seeing the world unfold into exciting details and events will be lost in a mist of battles"

Seriously.. how much oppressing has Harmless? and her allies done to you, in my opinion they've only attacked people that's deserved it. Take me, in the past i insulted a player rather badly and was attacked as a punishment. i can accept it was a fair punishment and move on.

You, like your friends in VIC are putting out propaganda that is so tedious to read through "this is an attack against those that harm our way of life blah blah blah blah". Seriously, just put out a declaration without any propaganda for ONCE.

Truth is the FIRST casualty of war.

EF, I don't think it's very effective to criticize people for putting out propaganda, and then moments later start doing the same thing yourself.  I find it's good to practice what you preach.

I do not see any propaganda in my post.

I decided not to take it further down that road, since there's already too much of that going on in all these threads.  Let's just agree that things can look very different depending on what angle you view them from.

Except for the fact, Darmon that EF used to be on the receiving end of Harmless' pointy end... He more than most, can talk intelligently about whether we are merciless bloodthirsty folks or not through experience...

And on the H? Character after these experiences...

Huh, so the vague allusions to EF's prior days of super-villainy might have some substance?  Considering people don't find it worthwhile to explain, I just figured we were talking some minor incidents that no one cared enough to bother recounting.  Hmm...

Darmon you might be onto something there mate, good luck with discovering more.

As I was writing that, I almost hoped I was just very tired.  I realize I wasn't the one to bring up the Crows, and it was more restrained than some of the current conversations happening around here...but in that moment, I felt like EF, poking their nest with a stick.

I do kind of feel like this war might set some precedents for confederate-level diplomacy.  I mean, does anyone realize that this war involves a third of the server's population?  (Roughly 63 out of 190 million.)

Once again, good luck with discovering more

This conflict has nothing to do with TLR. Unless The Long Road is going to join it officially you should refrain from making comments on it!

How does an abandoned account contribute to the efforts of war and peace?
