In regards to TD's original post- theres only one side willing to talk peace and until the other side is willing to open communications I see no reason for the other questions

This is exactly what I've thought as well. I'm not sure how long an army parked 2 squares from an H?, DLords, Crow, ect town would last or how big of a deal it would be when the encroaching army was destroyed. |

My understanding is that Consone is a mutual defense pact. Each alliance acts independently, with the assumption that they will watch each other's back encase some crazy large alliance says they will destroy them.
Judging by the diplomatic standing of several of the alliances involved, it seems they have each declared war against the forces of Harmless and friends. The_Dude, if you would like to negotiate peace or send threats with all of Consone by sending 1 person a few messages, I think you are going to be dissapointed. I'd advise approaching each alliance individually. You would certainly gain more respect from those alliances, and a greater understanding of their motives.

Maybe this is not an excuse for the way Absa behaved but it
appears to be a fair question. The answer might be: |

If destroying an occupying army 2sqrs away from your towns after it had been asked to leave is all it takes to start a war, then why isn't everyone at war? This happens all the time. Why do you think everyone had to change their alliance profiles to specifically state that if you put an army on a resource in their 5 or 10sqr radius it will be removed? Not arguing that absa destroyed the army, but notice was given that the army should be removed, and notice was given far enough in advance that an army was enroute to send a messenger as well. What would the BSH response be to an army that camped a rare resource 2sqrs from your towns and refused to leave?

You did notice that you idea of picking a fight was to destroy a hostile occupying army 2 squares from SkB towns. You did also notice that it was not Consone that started sieging and razing towns because of that. You did also notice that it was H? that declared war when Consone started breaking those sieges in defense of it's members. And you did notice that when all of Consone declared war, there was not a mass of sieges by it's members. War was declared in defense of it's allies, not to recklessly attack our "enemies". I don't doubt that there are things that Consone could have done much better or differently, but a mutual defense confederation will defend it's members.

I doubt its all that much of a big deal though its helpful in talks I am sure. I am pretty sure you know the decision makers on RHY, H?, etc side but it doesn't seem to be the focus of consone to do what you suggest. It does however benefit both sides to have someone that can answer for a particular side. Lets say if terms were brought up then who would one talk to? Would they have to draw a deal with each individual guild that is involved? So not really much of a secret tbh. Otherwise you honestly may disband Consone now because as it stands it seems any of you can start a fight with someone and your all going to enter random wars from now on. Being that there is no central authority it seems it will be hard to avoid anything but that. Lets say I am a guild in Consone I can just pull another Absa and go smack another guild or at least harass them until they are provoked into picking a fight with me. Once this happens since there is no over sight of the decisions for the wars done by Consone as there is no actual leaders which pretty much means anyone that pleads for help will get the full unquestioned support of Consone. I imagine this is going to be painful as an alliance and at some point its going to make the confed of Consone look like warmongers if it didn't already after picking a fight with RHY and calling in a huge alliance. |

In relation to your question " Who has power of attorney for Consone to settle the war?"
As a neutral, it's clear to me and to most readers of the forum that Consone is a confederation of 11 alliances. Despite attempts to portray it as otherwise by H? and their hangers on.
I imagine that Consone, "if " it decides on a spokesperson, for the confed, will contact and negotiate direct with H? leadership and not with a less important sideshow like Res.
Having said that, we can cannot escape the reality that when H? made it's declaration of war
it actually declared war against 11 seperate alliances who are members of a loose confederation based on mutual cooperation and friendship and not on Bloc with a single governmental form which (incidentally ,TD, you have recently termed " snake pit").
