I don't think the majority of players want war war war, but something like diplomacy, diplomacy, diplomacy, war would be much better rather than the current diplomacy X 10^50 and then perhaps war.
At the moment the game seems to be like playing poker with no blind and only the option to go all in.

I truly think Mr Damage is venting not so much at H? but more because his beloved Hawthorn  ( the new H?) who  were smashed by Collingwood! ;)

Quiet frankly some the posts of players like KillerPoodle, Llyron of Jaensch, Kumomoto on the forum and especially GC reveal the fallacy of the above statement. The fact is Harmless? is  a win at all costs alliance. It does not put players first at all. It subordinates them to success. domination and humiliation of what it percieves as its inferiors. THAT IS THE CULTURE OF HARMLESS?

Hypocricy. The only mistake _duQ made was not being a member of H? Had he been a member of your alliance Berberos would have been labelled a troll and Lorre & co would be wetting their pants to try and claim Kudos for attacking him

Typical HM spin. We all know that Lorre and Co took the this simple conflict between _duQ and berberos and almost bored GC to death with weeks of peurile whining and hyped up idiocy. Egged on by Harmless? goons  ie Kumo, Anjire, Lawn of Stench as well Dlord member Smoking Mwahaahaa GNU. The whole thing was an attempt to take the smaller issue and evaggerate it out of all proportion so that it could used it to demonise Valar.  What a pantomime it was. Most people were sick and tired of it.

What can I say? This is risible. Not even worthy of comment.

The fact of the matter is that Honored Mule is attempting to hide the truth THEY don't want this situation resolved at all and if you read HM's earlier post you will see that they are not satisfied that the accounts of -duQ and Quicks have been expelled from Valar. Going back to my point about the culture that exists in the H? leadership  - they want more and more ...from Valar. They want to crush them. That is Harmless? and that is what this whole sorry affair has been about. This is War is now.  A diplomatic type  metagame one, but war nonetheless with real casualties...AND Harmless? are prosecuting it.

Cool
       After some months playing I find the game far beyond "war" games like Travian or other similar games. Yes it has battles, wars, fights but not as a goal. It has depth moving ahead. It isn't just a server life period (ex. 9 months) where you make your armies, doing some diplomacy chasing all the newbies and participate on a race for the total victory of the server and again will play the same story next period.
        It has changes and new challenges, you play and you become part of it's history. How history will judge
you, depends only on you. The game just growing like wine getting older and better. The devs making a great work with  supplements which make the puzzle more complete, more interesting and better designed.
That is something you can't find easily as most of the games follow the same tactic, - start- diplomacy -war -end.

So perhaps people that like or hope in just -start- diplomacy- big war maybe are disappointed but personally I believe they lose the sense of the game in their desire for a speedy war "clean-up" and finish the game until the new period. It is like a journey in which some rushing to reach the end of it and missing everything during the way.

Beer so cheers to the Journey Big smile

-------------Event 6--------------------------------------------
No further communication, I look for the settler from time to time without success in an attempt to gauge its arrival. When I do find them the settler is within 3 squares of the space in question.  There is also an army unit moving toward the square coming from the direction of _duQ’s city.  Any additional forces sent from my city would not arrive in time.
Caravan from _viceRoy lands and bounces (I wonder who’s alt that is...)

His army unit arrives vs the lone yeoman

Mr. Damage, the comparison was a joke on my part, only because you mentioned H? so much. Please don't exile yourself because of me.
 
I think we all can agree that you're not even CLOSE to being as "refreshingly hostile" as Aneirin (I think I may have to get rid of the word "refreshingly" soon, though) Tongue

I have much respect for Az's post earlier. I reckon he's dealt with a rather difficult situation with a cool head.

Someone mentioned something about the future of  VALAR? Well from what I've seen so far I have no doubt that these guys will continue to thrive and partake as valuable members of the wider Illy community.

I lolled quite a bit through all of this, One can i point out that you have a fail of analyzing thread comments as you pick out a massive section of writing then don't even address, counter or change the readers view, all you do is bring up a completely unfathomable conspiracy theory  about H? being completely behind it and don't even back up the points you make, you just state an opinion (because an opinion without a source or evidence is always an opinion) and then state it again and again, hoping that someone is silly enough to read your points and not go "WUT?"

You then make a continued and empasised point that WE ALL have the same views as you and that we don't care essentialy and are bored of it. This made me cringe and chuckle for two reasons:

1) you have the ordasity to include the entire illyriad community in a statement which has no evidence of these people believing the same.

2) Most of us actually care about what happens as all the people involved are very prominent players you numpty, of course we care.

Then you drag H? into the argument, who ha much better things to do with their time than refuting your'e insane claims AND then not only carry on the stupidity but then say that H? have no right to be involved when YOU BROUGHT THEM IN! are you stupid or just here to annoy the crap out of everyone (i suppose the latter is in effect here) 

Finnaly what made me laugh most of all is that you say " Herpy Dep i'm not going to answer this part of the comment because it's stupid herpy derp"

Then you answer it, You are mental Sir.

Please, for me and for everyone else who love to watch the forums with interest and appreciation.

Leave or start giving decent points to contribute to said arguments.

Kthxbye
