Peaceful Illy Group (PIG)

If people can't see the vindictiveness of an individual who feels the need to kick the guy who lost the war and then tried the noble effort and failed, then I really don't know what to say...

Sometimes it is better to know, especially when you espouse the best interests of the server on a daily basis, to do what is best for the server, instead of your own desires.

Your prose defies your statement.

You have played an aggrieved party so long that you have forgotten (if you ever knew) how to be a gracious winner.

What were the names of the ladies who sat at the bottom of the guillotine and wove souvenirs out of the deceased members' hair in the French Revolution, cackling the entire time?

since i have conscientiously avoided finding out who was behind it, i can say with malice toward none that this plan did not work for Beecks or any number of players who were in warring alliances and for one reason or another were not online at the start of the war and whose accounts were systematically destroyed by their wartime rivals even after deflagging, because "they might come back". it also did not work for the handful of combatants who contacted me during the war and shared (risking reprisal) the astonishing conditions required of them to be let out of the war. i suspect there are survivors of the Consone war that might have appreciated a defined way to exit the war without required city-razings beyond those they had already lost.

victors always feel their terms are fair. it is axiomatic. you can make anyone "want to fight" if you make the alternative sufficiently unpalatable.

The vast majority of players who exited the war did so under the simple term of leaving.  No other conditions were placed.  Entire alliances left the war under those conditions, for example Trivium and Dwarven Lords.  Individual players did so as well.
