clearly TVM disagrees with your characterisation of the terms or they would have agreed to them. has "generous" some specific meaning here beyond the advertising sense of "you won't see an offer this good again"? surrender terms are a market with one seller and one buyer; assessing the value of a particular opportunity is a black art indeed. in this case, it seems your use of the word is not related to the value of the opportunity at all, but only meant to shift responsibility for what comes after from the actors to the targets.

yes, i have heard the arguments about the relative value of surrender offers, first from H? and now from its opponents. they all run in the form of "if i hurt you badly enough for long enough, surrender will look like good value at any price". the trouble with this argument is that illyriad is a game, and there is a threshold beyond which players will simply quit because, as Sir Bradly noted in gc long before it applied to any of his allies, "losing is not fun". if you prolong losing for long enough, any player will quit. that can be part of the sandbox, but i should think leaders who do not condone the chasing of players from the game will want to consider the interaction in total.

Wow, this is a very old thread. EF's was the first post in 2 years in fact! I seriously doubt any discussion happening here has to do with the TLR Plunder & Pillage Policy. Why not make a new thread instead of resurrecting this dinosaur?

Hey Angrim (and others). 
Are you really blaming the alliances at war for the fact that players quit illy? You can't be serious cause if one don't want to be destroyed, one just have to exit the war. Lot of players have done if so far on both side with, for most, the olny condition to not get involved in the war again and have no trouble with it. 

So if players play the wargame until destruction and quit, it's their choice to play so. What the alliances at war should do with it? Let players alone to let them the time to rebuild and come back strike the opponent in the back? 

What's your solution?

no. only the player can abandon his/her account. but i do think that making the game miserable for a player or an alliance can lead to that end, and when other players or alliances have contributed to that, they ought to own it.

i wouldn't know. alliances which have exited the war tell me the terms are secret, Tamaeon says they are not but does not volunteer any further information, and i do not ask. but i know some details that have come to me because eCrow had an interest here or there, and they are very far from "just walk away". i do not know if they are better or worse than the terms H? gave to various Consone alliances, but they are certainly reminiscent of them. if you believe your allies not to be punishing your opponents in retreat, you have been misled.

yes, always their choice, and the choice of the victors to continue to strike them. but there is a point in the victory beyond which there is nothing more to be gained from further attacks. it is possible to win the war and not the peace.

regarding specific solutions, it's never been a good idea to make policy in the forum. i am available via igm.

Totally agree.
