A question to help me formulate an opinion.
Did every war you parcticipated in before the current one, did it end by the other side surrendering?

Also i applaud you  for your record keeping, but currently i treat this more as a game and fun than as work requiring records

We treat this as a game too but there is responsibility that goes with leadership, it entails keeping records to prevent wholesale slaughter of foes and since we set limits, we kept records; we were true to our word.    How cavalier that you don't feel responsible for destroying years of work and the money players have invested in "their" game.     I wonder if you will have the same attitude when the roles are reversed, remember you helped to change the precedent in this game.  :)

There is no reason to assume keeping records makes the game less fun and more work like. 

I personally hold all H? leadership in high regard because they don't rely on hearsay or faulty memories when making plans or accessing situations; rather, they are well organized and highly structured with recorded accounts of events so that years down the road they can re-familiarize themselves with the details of a specific situation.  IMO, their records are some of the most accurate; spanning back to the very first war that ever took place in Illyriad.  At least this was the case when I was in H?.

As a practicioner of ISO9001 International Standards Organisation accreditation for Quality Assurance i can assure that at work i am a meticulous record keeper and auditor. Again leadership comes in various styles, and to chastise someone for differing in opinion seems to be a touch wrong. If we were all identical to H? we would truly be farmville.

But back to the original question, has every opponent in every war surrender to H?

I apologize for derailing the question over a point of disagreement.  There is no reason for either side to condescend.  I am unable to answer the question, but perhaps another can if they feel so inclined.

Guys the first step forward is to accept other people do things differently. No-one playing this game is intrinsicly evil. We have different languages, upbringings, cultures, education, families, work, political persuaisions, no-one needs a dispensation for doing things differently

What H? conveniently neglects to mention in their record keeping is that in the previous wars that I remember, we never got to this stage - their major opponents had surrendered or left the game long before. Whatever the reasons for this, why their opponents surrendered and H? hasn't - that is open to interpretation. The fact remains that H? still chooses to continue in the fight.

Remember, "there are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics".

Whatever path you have chosen, you must deal with the consequences.

P.S. Did H? continue to attack those opponents from the last war who continued to fight against them even when the rest of their alliance had made peace? E.g. invictusa...
