Should Harmless get involved

TMM have finally acted upon their threats to ethnically cleanse "their" territory, and they're starting with all the alliances that aren't Toothless--presumably because we (Harmless) back Toothless and would crush TMM when that happens.

Harmless finds TMM's actions despicable, including those against individuals and alliances we do not protect.  At the same time, we do not want to police the server or ever be viewed as the server police.  There is generally room in Illyriad for all play styles.  But is this too much?  For this situation alone, we are willing to stand in defense of all newbies in TMM territory.

Please vote on whether you think Harmless should declare war on TMM.  This one time only, we will enforce the wishes of the community as a whole.  TMM is attacking players NOW and time is very short.  Because of this, we will begin launching attacks very soon and not stop until this poll sits stably at a clear "no."

Realize that we are giving the community as a whole voice over whether we get involved before Toothless comes under fire, not how or until what point.  Once ratified, we will stop when we feel that newbies are safe and the aggressors will not (or cannot) repeat their mistakes or retaliate against us in the near future.

Note also that reactively defending cities under attack (especially at our distance) is beyond tactically infeasible.  Cities would be razed to the ground by the time we arrived, and that's without considering non-aligned players and NAPing half the server.

Regards,
 - HM, Harmless Director

I say H? should do what they want just like in previous cases. If H? wants to join in a War join, if H? dosen't don't. I say H? should make its own choice.

There isn't any negotiating with TMM, Kelis.   Their stance with US, Toothless and any other player in their "so-called" territory is join us or we'll seige you out of our space.     They never made a public announcement about their intentions for that area priior to activation of the spell to move.    Toothelss and US members both settled there, along side of TMM.    I shudder to think of the unaffiliated players they have already run out of this game because they claim they have rights to that territory.   

They don't have rights to that area, period.   We all moved there and we can live in peace, TMM's position is join or be destroyed.      Again, call it like it is, bullying.

Voted!
