War reasons/goals

Hi all.

Now I know that most of you may be thinking this is another war propoganda post or something. I assure you it's not. I'm not going to express any opinions here because quite frankly, I don't have any. And that is the problem. While I am involved in this war, I have no personal reason to be, other than the fact that I wish to stand by my alliance and remain loyal. I do know bits and pieces, but I was never personally involved so I don't want to make up my opinion based on a story that everyone tells differently.

I'm hoping that some of you nice people involved could tell us why you started fighting/what you hope to achieve by the end of the war? Gold, justice, vengeance or something else? I'm sure you all have different reasons, and I would like to hear them. And please, no finger-pointing, just your own reasons. You might say you're fighting because you think this alliance is a bully, but don't start blaming and arguing about who started it please. I don't wish for this post to degenerate into another hate war. Just state your own reasons please.

So what I hope to achieve here today is to understand why you guys are fighting. I am not saying we shouldn't fight; I am not saying we should. All I'm aiming for is a clearer picture of this war, both for me and for others out there. Who knows, this might even help in future peace talks, which would probably be smoother if the warring alliances understood each other better.

Anyways, thanks for taking the time to read this, and I hope you can help by sharing your reasons.

I have. After reading about 20 pages of those it's mostly just people calling each other the villain. That debate would never end. What I'm tryimg to ask here is more clear-cut (I hope). What exactly do you hope to achieve? Say if your enemy surrendered tomorrow, what would you ask from them? That's the purpose of this post.

Eh, I thought you wanted to hear the reasons people fight, not the goals of the few specific leaders that run each alliance. Of course noone is going to post such a thing in public ... well ok, maybe Hathaldir would ...
