Potential Peace Talks?

I am not in H? but I have read a lot of the old forums and I think I have a good handle on what they would do in a war type situation. I could be wrong and I am very willing to be corrected here if anyone can find evidence that exists contrary to my thoughts.

My guess is that H? has objectives laid out by now of what must be accomplished before they are willing to suffer peace talks. I would imagine they have goals along the lines of this person needs to suffer this sort of loss and that person that sort of loss in proportion to their level of participation. I believe only 2 things will change their objectives. Either they begin suffering substantial losses and need to exit the war to save what they can (can't attest to this as it has never happened). Or Consone does things to add more objectives to H?'s to do list.

The evidence is all over H?'s past. Look up the old wars and see how they end. They typically don't wipe out their enemy. As an example... going way back... White attacked H? and H? attacked them till they surrendered. H? took their pound of flesh and left White be. White later came back and attacked again. This time they used some tactics that made H? fight more forcefully and H? became aware that White would never leave them in peace unless they were removed. Look it up if you need reference, its all here in the forums.

This is typical for H? that I have seen. They don't tend to wipe people out of the game and people that say otherwise tend to be misinformed. There have been a few cases where this happened but there were always under circumstances that required it for one reason or another.

I don't think that anyone here is justified in thinking that H?'s goal is total annihilation. Look at it from their perspective. What fun would it be if they removed the whole of the only alliance that has chosen to attack them after over a year of waiting.

Now Consone on the other hand, I have no idea what they will do if they become the world power. They seem to have no real sense of self. One hand doesn't seem to know what the other is doing. They seem to have gotten themselves into a war they didn't want yet seemed to have almost unanimously voted to get into. Their organization seems to be almost nonexistent. There is no central leadership and no method of reining in their members for bad behavior. They seem to be supporting a war that was started by one of their own over-exuberant members attacking out of turn and when they were asked to make reparations they laughed and insulted Rhy. Why they chose to support this war I have no idea but they keep tossing out the words "defending our confederates." Who is the governing body to go to when one of their members misbehaves? If the alliance of the offender chooses to ignore diplomacy? Will Consone always defend their members even if their members are in the wrong? I feel Consone is not yet ready for this responsibility, they have a lot of things that needs to be worked on. I think It would be wise of them to start smaller and work their way up.

Plus side, it appears H? is willing to help with that.

In conclusion, If H? wins this I have a good idea how things will turn out, and I personally approve of that. If Consone wins.... may the gods Illy have mercy on us all.
