Yes, SunStorm that is pretty accurate. We know about their stance and somewhat which strategy they have in place. Basically, we are informing the community about ongoins, as well as starting this debate to hopefully bring us closer to peace. The answers they have given so far in this thread are obvious. So are the IGM's I have recieved after sending this link of terms to all members of H.. They won't back down. They won't agree to anything. They are prepared to die.

And Korr, that is a good idea. I'm sure the GA would accept a situation like that, paying to a neutral and trusted alliance.

After being out of the game for so long, this is certainly a twist of events. 

A quick history about myself for the newer players:  I left the game during (and before the resolution of) the Consone war...abandoning both my accounts with their 7 and 9 cities.  I became disillusioned with H? after spending close to a year in their alliance.  Without going into my past too much, there is no reason I know of which would cast doubt on what I am about to say. 

What I would like to say is just this: If you are waiting for H? to surrender to your terms then I hope you are prepared to continue to wait...possibly forever.  Whatever else might be said, whether good or bad, H? has dignity.  From reading these posts, I fear you have already received your answer.  Expecting for another response, perhaps one more to your liking, will be fruitless.  That is, unless you are able to offer proof of the "sat" account in question (for which I have no knowledge regarding this topic, so I apologize for speaking out of ignorance).  Personally, this request seems reasonable because, whether publicly known or kept in secret, a sat account is a sat account.

Regardless of the politics, an ultimatum has been made.  Decide how far you are all willing to go, then take action.  The longer one side stalls another, the more troops are produced to continue the fighting.

Best of luck to all parties involved.

Regarding escrow there is an easy and simple solution to me to that issue both side's pay the same amount to an netural and mutual agreeable alliance for both alliance or one for each payment ( say h pays 2 billion to alliance X and GA to alliance Z ) for an agreed upon period.  if peace turns are broken then the gold is forfeit.

Once that has past the gold is transferred either back to original alliance or to opposing alliance's. That way it helps build trust between you both that peace will last as both will have something to lose if brake the peace. 

Then it is just down to if any more cities should be razed or captured ect  which are replaceable ( yeah with cost but replaceable in the end ) and any agreed upon other restriction's. Instead of the using past wrongs to make the war last ( if both sides want's peace LET SLEEPING DOGS LAY  as the saying goes.. )

Yes, peace has been offered in terms of talking. The diplomacy pages can be changed when talking is done and we have reached agreement.

"If you really want to talk about escrow then from our perspective we've been extremely honest and specific about our intentions and goals while several folk on your side have lied and decived - so actually we're the ones who need escrow to keep you lot honest." -- KP in igm to ditto.

... and this is a direct quote from you. I would like to know (and so would everyone else I'm sure) what these:

1. Lies are and who needs to be kept honest. What has triggered the fact that you won't accept these terms?
2. Intentions and goals of yours are, from what you were thinking when you stated the above

Please remember I am not very involved in what has happened in the past and I haven't read 1,000 forum posts through the time of 2012 till now about consone me here, harmless me there, ditto said this, hath did that. These two people are putting all that behind them now and trying to work something out with you.

Maybe Hath did taunt Kumo in his very first sentence. That was wrong. That's why (imo) none of you guys should be talking together. There is too much in the past that have made you angry and the good words are ignored - or read in a wrong way - which results in the thoughts of ones brain becoming hostile... which then brings out bad things, mmkay.

*editted gibberish paragraphs*

Facts remain
GA won't stop sieges until terms are negotiated.
GA have reached out with terms that are reasonable. If terms are not accepted due to whatever reason, please counter.
NAAM are not going to pay an escrow, since they were actually joined the war defending a confed from you guys, which they took seriously and felt the need to lend a helping hand. That is exactly what you did too. The fact that they are still in the war, is because they are some persistent fellas, as well as many other good things.
H? say that the terms are not going to be honored, because some other terms were altered at another time. *edit: what other time was it, please clarify* Let's put that behind us now, because this time it is a lot more serious and it is somewhat about the future of Illyriad.

I personally don't want to see Harmless destroyed down to the last new settled towns, that you will most likely keep spamming, with resources fed from accounts not in H. etc etc. You will do everything in your power to not die, which is understandable..
--  but do we want to end up there?? -- 

Your move.
accept or alter or disagree

Peace has not been offered, neither has an olive branch.   What's on offer is an insult and a last boot in the ribs.

No thanks.

Anymore insults to each and I'll close the thread. Just stick to war chat and leave real-life out of it.

Pot and Kettle.

In the great Trove war all Consone members had the option of accepting the surrender terms, or to be continued to be sieged untill they did.

Not true - go back and re-read the other million threads on this or see your contradictory statement below.

Quote
the fact that consone members/leaders in the end decided to agree with the surrender terms showed that they cared for their members.

I'm doing the same - our members just have more balls than yours.

Quote
In the great Trove war the people defeated chose to surrender to prevent further harm for their members. 

Now this is true - compare to your statement above and recognize the difference.  Also, to repeat, because it was right for your members does not make it right for ours.

Quote
Debate all you like, and wish that other people would see the right of your side, sometimes you just need to swallow your pride and get on with life.

You sound like Marcellus Wallace - you remember how that turned out, right?

Quote
Really... there is no debating the inevitable. And sure, if it is your choice to let your account die in this game, then that is ok to. But don't blame others then.

Oh how short memories are. The exact opposite argument was used as one of the major justifications for this entire war and held up as a prime example of how evil NC were - that is some first class hypocrisy you're displaying here.

Quote Do I mind them getting kicked in the behind? Nope.

How would you classify the last 9 months - a kiss on the cheek?

Quote
There is nothing simpler about this then what is stated above. The only thing that now could go wrong for the grand alliance is if they would change the terms ones H? accepted them.

Already happened for other alliances who accepted the not-so-grand alliances terms earlier in the war - and you wonder why there's not trust here.

Anyone responding after my response... 

I respect your opinion, I truelly do, even if you do not feel it. 

But the bottom line is this. One side gave the other side a way out, just as it has been done in the olden days. You either accept it, even if you feel you have been wronged, or you don't. The outcome is your responsibility. 

And on a personal note, which I know it don't matter one single bit. The terms I read don't seem all that harsh at all. I seen many of my friends having had to suffer harsher terms. 

Don't compare, ... think...

If you want to keep on existing within the game, even the mighty might have to take a tumble at certain times. It doesn't make you less, but it certainly also doesn't make your opponents wrong. 

Taunting eachother... I could fill a book with examples of that. Each one nastier than the other. I did at some time to. Dont make me right. But at this moment, I am not wrong either. 

Good luck to you all. 

Shad
