The Full Story

(does anyone still have her on their FB?  I seem to have lost her from my contacts...  If so, shoot me a message please)

There may be someone out there who does but seeing she left without warning maybe she wanted complete separation from Illy.

I must admit that you've been very creative in putting up this imaginative fairy tale but the bit I quoted really surpasses what I thought could be imaginable. As a matter of fact H? declared Confed with Champ the moment before declaring war to Valar and the same happened now one year later with RHY. The only true bit about your tale is the fact that you want to remain the #1 alliance and this is evident in that every time you see some threat you proceed to eliminate it with subtle diplomacy and propaganda, you make sure you are never alone in the deed and make it appear that you are rushing to help the poor and undefended so to not be recognized for what you are by the fools that can't see beyond their noses. One year ago like now you H? were here on the forums with your pompous and arrogant attitude and the LAST thing that crossed your minds was coming to terms as soon as possible. That only happened thanks to the good will and work of people that never had and never will have anything to share with H?'s view of the politics in this game and only after you obtained what you wanted, which was Valar's leadership quitting and the at the time #1 Alliance of the game losing many important members.

The whole - big alliance against a smaller one, statement. As though H? engaged ABSA a in military offensive.

H? was there helping an ally- just as ABSA did.  It was fair for ABSA, it is fair H? - Please - for the love of PETE - stop all the incessant whining.

Now here is the pot calling the kettle black senario on the above statement:

9 to 10 alliances (Consone) against 1 (H?).. Anyone see a problem with the these odds 

Dlords agree. We like these odds, count us in! (so make it against 2). We don't just talk about and whine what is unfair.. we act on it.

By the way, our declaration of war is nothing personal toward individual allainces (as many of the alliances involved know, and we have talked about it) but is is 'in part' regarding the Consone mentality it has create with some in their Confed. This is a war and our friends are involved, it is a fight that others have said they want a piece of.. we agree, count us in! For better or worse, it appears enough people desire blood to flow (especially from all the forum posts against H?). Draw your bows, unsheath your swords, and ready your horses, it has been declared and the diplomatic and magic attacks have already begun. 

With respect to issues of a Consone nature - Dlords has had our share of Consone alliances trying to intimidate us as well through threats of them getting Consone involved. Get into a small altercation and it gets thrown out.. Oh yeah, well let's see what Consone has to say about it. Dlords has said it then and we say it again.. we don't care what Consone thinks nor are we afraid of Consone or any other group out there. Don't threaten us with Consone.

I have often wondered what it would have been like if the Dwarven Lords had never confederated with H?. :D  OH my it would have been a bloody but beautiful battle for the history books. But unfortunately for both sides but great as well, we confederated with them back during the White war and stood with them against others seeking power back then and have remained loyal and true friends and Oath Honorers to whom we have given them. Many just don't understand nor appreciate such things such as their word. Not blindly following but watching and appraising. 

We have only broken our oath of fidelity to one alliance (as did H?) and that was the Knights of Ni, when their leader left and the alliance went rogue and broke their oaths with MK members. After trying to get them to stop and to honor their word, H? and DLord both broke our ties with them and threatened to attack on behalf of those left from the previous battle we just came through. From there they stopped and created TMM.. and we all know that story.. but guess who fought their old allies.. H? and Dlord.

The above is a brief history of Dlord and that we love to fight/war and we love to help with peace. Make no mistake, we love them both equally. But we have in the mix now, an unbalanced opposition and in fact our own friends involved.. so you can bet, The Dwarven Lords are there - Smiling.

Now everyone can please stop the babbling ... get in it or not it.. but keep the rhetoric to yourselves if at all possible. There is a saying in a sandbox - Put up or shut up. When a Dwarf makes an oath, you can guarantee we will stand up to anything put before us on behalf of our friends, even when it is 10 against 2 or worse.

Clear and convincing evidence of Consone's unbridled ambition.
