An Open letter to H? rank and file

is that a109 or a 159

Most of the bile is not worth responding to, but to this bit I shall... You have thrown umpteen attacks at the leaders of H? We have been squarely in the route of the bus. The total incompetence of your bus drivers really isn't our problem! ;)

Well stated, Starry.

The bottom line is that more H? members, accounts, towns, and those of our allies have been wiped out in this war than all the other wars in Illy combined. Shade and Soon honorably realized they had achieved their objectives and declared Peace. If the "GA" took that approach, I'd have respect for them. The fact that they insist on adding insult to injury at this juncture speaks volumes about the degree to which the bile that many of them have for us has pervaded their very being.

I also find particularly bilious the insinuation that H? doesn't care about its members. Our members are behind us, always have been, and the second they want to stop, we will. I would happily sacrifice all twenty of Kumo and EO's cities to protect any of our members. The simple fact is they know who started this and don't want it.

(and I do find it incredibly amusing that you are demanding two of the four cities come from the Swamp Fox... But I don't blame you... See if you can take through diplomacy what you are completely incapable of doing militarily?)

Well said ... and this is imho the whole point to the matter ... they want a surrender for various reasons :

• So that they can look good and benevolent even after wiping out whole accounts. This topic has this exact point and no other.
• They want to finally make us surrender so that they can gloat afterwards and start various accusations like they did in my case for example.
• They want H? to stick around and use it like a "scarecrow" so that their "not so stable" alliance gathering does not crumble and fight amongst each other. Without another powerhouse in the game like H? such frictions are inevitable, especially after the "funny" events of the last tournament

After all those years and all those previous posts and topics where such issues where thouroghly explained they just cannot think that we are actually that gullible or bereft of memory, so my guess is that this topic is not really addressed towards H? and its members.
 
I can only hope that the real "target group" of this topic can see through such obvious beautification efforts ...
