That was my point. No actual peace offer was been made merely a bunch of questions asked - as per usual from The Duke. 

I replied that if he was serious about not wanting to destroy those accounts then he could demonstrate it by his actions since I do not trust his words. 

He chose to continue to destroy them and try to pass the blame onto me.

AS per the usual H? makes a spin on the events to suit whatever puts them in a better light. Freemorn PLayers havent been the target of any Shade sieges in the last week. Dlords and Shade have stopped hostilities currently. 

Your unwillingness and inability to help the players in freemorn would lead me to blame you for lack of leadership and an uncaring attitude toward your fellow alliance mate. Those things I would say fit you- but never have I blamed you for anything you were not warranted. 
On another note- I still havent seen your examples of things backfiring that your so proud of. Your lies and misinformation catch up to you?

there's a strategical reason why most alliance prefer to lose cities outside the fortress/region rather than helping those player out. Not unless you have millions of troops to send abroad and fight.

The best way a player can do is - exo his cities inside the fortress and rebuild.

Our convo was 11 days ago and several sieges happened after it.  Also Torden is currently under siege which started yesterday - now who's spinning?. From the siege page:

Why on earth would I give away intel?  Especially seeing how you've used the info I've given you in the past.

Exactly what is the point of this thread? I have been reading though it and this is about all the insight I have gained;

For some reason someone felt the need to clarify that H had been offered peace but rejected it. (I expect H were on GC making out they had not been given any path out of the war or something maybe? just hazarding a guess)

With that clarified and agreed to by H, H then continue to make out their opponents are 'evil'.  Really? for what? fighting a war? torturing chip-monks? slandering penguins?  I don't get it.

All I can gather from this is that H feel nobody has a right to fight against them, when previously they have practiced their right to fight against anyone they wish, no matter how big, how small, or how outnumbered.

Aside from this Kumo then claims this evil is manifest in certain players on his side in certain areas loosing cities to sieges, but then states how it is the choice of those player's alliances to allow those cities to be lost???

So basically H's opponents are evil due to the fact they are doing exactly what Kumo and his ilk choose for them to do?

Hypocritical?   or just confusing?

Lets just get on with fighting the H war shall we and stop debating with someone so nonsensical.

<Deranzin> I'd agree with darkone on that

I'd like to clarify that neither I nor my alliance is now or has ever been involved in torturing monks, chip or otherwise.  And we have nothing against penguins, no matter how smug they may look in their tuxedos.

The siege on torden was the last seige sent and was sent before our counsil decided how we were gonna proceed since you had refused to help them. As for providing intel- im just asking you to verify a false claim in which i know you cant do

The way I see this thread, it appears that both sides are trying to spin an inconsequential event to their advantage.  However, I don't really think at this point anyone cares.  I'm fighting in this war, and I don't care.  Some semblance of a temporary peace offer was chalked together, and it was rejected. Now, can we just forget about it and move on?

I can answer that from my own perspective. I view Illyriad as a beer and peanuts soccer league. A little trash talking between teams is natural. You will have some huggy-huggy players, a few people who are a little over competitive for a casual league, and a majority of people who just enjoy socializing with their team and staying in shape.

It would be very strange in such a context to convince one of your friends to join another team in your league for the sole purpose of gathering intelligence on them. That would just be weird. You're going to practice with them, play with them, socialize with them for weeks or months, for the rather perverse purpose of sabotaging their soccer team? It would be distasteful in a professional context, but for a beer and peanuts league? You would require some serious personal issues to do that.

Alliance and global chat are the socializing part of the experience. Yes, they happen in the context of a game, but the interactions you have there are between real people, not through the proxy of digital bits. It's easy to de-humanize people through the Internet, but that doesn't make it acceptable. Lying can provide an advantage in many real life games, even when the lying happens around the game. That doesn't make lying and misrepresentation "part of the game", it just means that people are willing to engage in unsportsmanlike conduct to gain an advantage in a game, which itself is a rather sad commentary on the importance placed in winning over people.

Spies in Illyriad are a sad truth. The only goal they achieve is a big mistrust within alliances, leading to military actions only being discused within very small circles.

It would be nice to be able to send out an alliance mail, saying "Hey people, we plan to do this or that, what do you think about that?". But this only is possible in very small alliances with players knowing each other in RL. Any bigger alliances is fully aware, that there ARE spies around.

It's definitly no good sportsmanship to do so, but as long as it gives any advantages, somebody will do it.

Discovered spies will have to live with living a lie and facing deep distrust after discovery. Don't know, if that really adds to the fun of playing Illyriad  Cry

We send out that sort of mail in nCrow all the time.  Usually we decide against doing whatever it is, or doing it in that way, or don't do it for another 2-3 months.  Some would suggest that this is not because we are dreadfully disorganized, but rather is a canny plot to disrupt efforts to spy on us.  Those people overestimate our concern about spies.
