why isnt there talk of the war here

https://illyriadtimes.wordpress.com/

i am speaking for a group within our game community, razing and seiging outside of land claims and buffer areas is just harmful to our game..seige is out of whack with the damage it does compare to other functions, other forms of military and dip functions can diminish the capability of a city to perform war functions, and the devs must wake up and realize the overpowering siege function is a factor to the playing base not being larger....we need more active players..we dont need to force them from the game. vcrow leadership speaks for vcrow but members are free to speak for themselves.

sorry...to clarify outside your alliances land claim...thus i am saying both sides are guilty

One of illyriadpost's first posts said 'Please send your news to illyriadpost@gmail.com'.   Although I don't know for sure, this sounds to me like only one person has the account login info, but others (maybe potentially anyone) asks that one person to post stuff. People often post for others on the forum (sometimes because they have no forum account themselves). I see no problem with this--not that different than asking someone in-game to do something for you.

As for having multiple forum accounts.. interesting question. Since they don't have to be linked to the game accounts in any way at all, I see no reason why you couldn't have more than 1 (or even more than 2) from reading the terms of service or what you click to register a forum account. Although personally I prefer forum posts linked to real players so that I get some context. If there are 'extra' forums-specific terms of service, they should make it very clear in both the rules section and on the thing you agree with when you register for the forums.   

This is all very off-topic.. but almost everything in this thread is sort of off topic since 'why don't we talk about war' turned into people talking about war xD If the devs have clarification on this issue, a new thread (as well as maybe updates to the rules section wording) would be more useful than responding here.

Personally I wish the forum accounts were part of the game accounts so that this wouldn't be an issue to start with... A lot of people avoid getting a forum account because having to get a second different illy account seems weird and inconvenient.

However, the rules don't currently say anything about it, so there's no reason to get accusatory over it.  (And Illyriad Post gets a thumbs up in my view just because I generally support anything that lets people involve themselves more in the game.)
