An Open letter to H? rank and file

Hath - are you really saying that the tens of billions in gold you've already extorted from participants in the war was not sufficient?

Give me an alliance with 99 Forries please

The point of this post is to show the players of H? that their opposition had made some steps towards looking for a peaceful settlement. A conversation in GC led me to beleive that some  members were not aware of the details of the offer.

It also had the benefit of us showing some transperancy in our negotiations. This was convenient that all of Illy gets to read it as well.

Siji has most eloquently stated his reason for staying in the war (but please come back to forums much sooner, you are a good read) and one can only respect him for them.

However this only details our effort to stop the conflict. Illy has shown that people declaring war and losing pay reparations. If it is a matter of pride and dignity then they can pretty much swallow theirs like they forced us to do in the last war, after launching over 1000 attacks when terms were asked for, then taking over three weeks to reply. Eagles did a lot of dying in that time. The fact that H? refuses to surrender has shown to be something that can only be influenced from inside their alliance, as is their perogative, (anyone can play the game how they like).

At no stage have we questioned the people in H? as to their account operators, we have taken it on faith when someone replies to an IGM. To refuse an offer of surrender then question ditto's veracity seems a slap in the face. If you reject the offer then it doesn't matter who wrote it.

So where does this leave us, well it looks like its an irresistable force meeting an unmoveable object. We seem to be holding all the cards and have put our best offer forward, the other side has said they will not pay reparations, which are easily affordable by them. Regardless of their motivations H? declared war upon us.

And to paraphrase an IGM sent to me 24 hours before H? declared war on us, I cannot believe i am doing this and the others will kill me if they find out, but here is a final offer, accept the peace offer and compensate the Grand Alliance for their losses and you can walk away from this situation before you find yourself on the losing end and much worse off than the last conflict.
(subject to negotiation)

I disagree and have the records to prove it.    We keep meticulous records of all our wars, cities lost by H, allies and yes, foes.    I know for a fact, Jasche left due to RL issues and while H took 2-3 cities, we stopped taking more; the account stayed in VIC as a sat account and the cities were later taken by VIC members.
