Æsir's Crusade vs. TLR

When I first began playing in Illy, I recall all of the noble talk about how the strong will protect players from bullies in the game. Now I see an instance of unprovoked attacks (war) on the admittedly rough-around-the-edges TLR by a significantly larger group, basically because it would seem that Aesir doesn't approve of the leader, Eternal Fire. I am curious as to people's thinking about this case of "might makes right." This sets a dangerous precedent for the future of Illyriad if everyone simply turns away and remains silent while a fringe group gets bullied and likely destroyed because a larger group of players have decided they have the moral superiority to decide which alliances may exist in their world.

I know that a lot of people seem to dislike Eternal Fire, but where does it end when hatred of a player provides the rationalization to destroy all the members of an alliance? Don't we have enough of this kind of self-righteousness in real life? If someone despises Eternal Fire that much, then they should target him. Instead, Ã†sir has claimed the right to pass moral judgement and exterminate the evil race of players who offend their own ambitious ideals. I smell hypocrisy. Perhaps I am alone.

Perhaps you should look up the definition of "slander," Turtie. I pasted a quote from Aesir which was sent to TLR, which appears to reflect quite clearly their rationalization for declaring war. Pointing out someone's self-righteous indignation, using their own quotes, and pointing out the self-evident hypocrisy in the matter is not mud-slinging. I made nothing up. (Facts do offend some people, I fear.)
