Consone/Coalition War: Peace and Reconciliation

Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.

its a strategy  game, lets have fun! that was a limited war. very few players were forced out of the game and actually alot of people came back to play. the sad part is alot of those peeps left and will not be back until the next major war. personally i cant wait for broken to open so there is a place for non strategy  players to play.

Illy is a game with practically no real world consequences.  Anyone can be as big an ass as they want here (and there are some on all sides and I don't exclude myself) and there is very little chance they'll even get popped in the nose, let alone any real consequences.  There is little that is responsible, mature or wise about using your free time to play games, especially fantasy, internet war games. The little boys in H? need to stop patting themselves on the back for being such "grown ups" and trying to pretend it's more than a game and a game that's a giant time suck too.  In one way or another, everyone here is a child playing a game.  Just because the "members" of H? spend more time doing so, have more spreadsheets and are generally more anal about it doesn't make them somehow more "grown up" or "wise".  I find that egotistical but I believe the members of H? like offending people.  They seem to believe it makes things "interesting" and they know there is little anyone can do to them and they relish that childish feeling of power.

What a poor sport you are. There is nothing quite as rank as a whiny loser trying to justify his loss. We fought better. Period. Yes, organization is part of that. So are a number of other factors.

Next time you are vastly outnumbered at the onset of a war and have a final result similar to this, you let me know. If I sound proud, it is because I am. We're extremely proud of the performance of our H? alliance members and our Coalition allies. They crushed it. And no amount of belittling or whining on your part will change that or take their accomplishment away.

I don't understand the relevance of why alliances in Illy should conduct wars based upon whether or not they think people will leave or not? War is part of this sandbox. If you didn't think it was, then you really aren't paying attention to a huge percentage of the game functionality.

The only function I can see in this "people are leaving" theme of posts is one of trying to paint The Coalition as somehow aggressive or "ruining the game". No one is ruining the game. The game is healthy, growing, and more fun than ever. Looks like we're going to get a whole new continent soon. What is ruined about all that?

The desperation to make The Coalition look bad is, in and of itself, hurting the game. If you folks stopped and paid attention to what you were doing, you'd realize that if you post "The sky is falling" enough times, somebody is going to believe it and people who don't know better reading this forum might think the game is actually being hurt. I can't imagine that that is your intention, but perhaps you should think about it a little prior to posting. Try prioritizing the interests of the game you love over the bile you feel towards certain alliances.

Whenever I see people posting about "everyone leaving", I see people trying to hurt the game.
