Due to the strategic nature of the current war and the fact that our declaration was not based on a grievance, SIN has afforded SHARK players who wish to leave the war lenient surrender terms. Now that the opening round of the war is coming to a close, SIN would like to extend a general amnesty offer to any enemy combatants in SHARK who wish to leave the war. This is an opportunity for SHARK members who are disenchanted with the war to leave and not be targeted in the future through SIN's Persistent Pursuit Policy during or after the war.

Stipulations for the amnesty include the following:

  • You must cease all hostilities with SIN, effective immediately.

  • You must leave SHARK and remain out of the alliance until the end of the war.

  • You are prohibited from joining VIC or any other alliance aiding and abetting SHARK or that are diplomatically allied with them.

  • If you have cities in Newlands, they must be exodused back to Elgea.

For players with cities in Newlands, amnesty will only be officially recognized once the first city is in exodus.

This offer will remain open until midnight server time on February 1st. After amnesty closes, surrender terms from this point forward will become increasingly stringent. Any questions may be directed to SIN leadership. Thank you.

Am I clear on this??
Sin started a war for no particular reason, and those that defended themselves from attack, you are offering amnesty for defending themselves and retaliation for attacking their cities?? And feel you can control where they can live now...?
That's kinda messed up... bloated egos maybe?

I currently have no skin in this war... and I hope it stays that way.  

I believe Jejune and SIN are going to try to capitalize on players who aren't particularly excited to see their work being undone in this war and may want to turn tail and run without suffering any further losses.  It is a WIN-WIN for SIN and anyone who accepts the offer and only a potential loss for SHARK.  It will be a test of an individual's loyalty to the SHARK alliance and self-interest in maintaining what they have built in the game.  In all a wise offer at this point in time, anyone that flees the battle is one less opponent for SIN.

Did SHARK develop the devout loyalty that we all suspect has been made among the members of SIN? The social engineering side of the game can make up ground against an opponent without ever having to put armies on the move...

Good luck to all.

Well yeah Diva. We know you like to comment on things you are not part of, so I suggest you join either Shark or VIC and then comment. Throwing comments from the peanut gallery helps nothing. This seems to me to be an offer to Shark members. Read the post more closely next time. This war seems to be about players having fun. A door has been opened for those who are not. Simple enough to understand.

 rofl, Tink, that was in house humor from the lowly Hothlings.. they got their daily dose of rant from me when I learned of the disobedience....
But jokingly (when I learned it was) it still wasn't humorous.

On one side, I fail to see how terms can be much more stringent than those those, but I am sure I will find out after they have captured/raised all my towns in Newlands - can't see much point surrendering before then following that announcement :P

On the other, I wonder who will be next after they achieve their goal.

Maybe people will start to see what kind of game SIN want to play

PS - my thoughts alone not necessarily SHARK

@Dive, it is not ridiculous for the side that is winning the war to offer lenient terms to those who surrender at any given point.  If anything it is gracious of SIN to offer the option, not indicative of "bloated egos".

"Well yeah Diva. We know you like to comment on things you are not part of, so I suggest you join either Shark or VIC and then comment."
I don't speak for either btw. and of course, my opinion or yours speaks only to ourselves. Why you arguing with ME? rofl.

It would be more indicative of bloated egos to do what SHARK threatened at the beginning of the war.  They said that surrender would not be an option for SIN.  Offering surrender with few terms when SIN is clearly winning, and not by small margins, is much more reasonable and even, dare I say, kind.  The level of sportmanship it indicates far surpasses what would be allowed under an alliance that actually had bloated egos.  So Diva, please find someone else to troll.
