The White Company is formed

you see, here's the odd thing.

The action was tonight, around 20:00 uk time.  And yet a little later you join a new alliance, formed YESTERDAY, with 22 members now, and you are the top dog.

you are betraying somebody, and i suspect it is more than the players - it is the game.

your comments back up my reasoning.

No.  Our position is clear, we support the designers and players of this game.  we wish this game to prosper, we wish players to prosper (albeit in an antagonistic sandbox).  further elaboration on my part is unnecessary.

you clearly wish the opposite.

and, tbh, further elaboration on your part is unnecessary too, and a denial would not be in keeping with your comments.

True, armies play a small part in this game. Also I never said that it would be a war. It could be like what the USA and china are doing. Right now the are at war. Not a war with armies but one of economics. Still what I said for my 1st post still stands. Good luck and have fun. 

Ask me why I chose to expend my entire forces against Diablito.  (It's not because of the laughable, thinly veiled slander campaign in the WW1 thread.)  Better yet, ask him why I might have a greater beef against him rather than laurachristine, the only player who as taken any action against me.

I will not share the specifics without consent of my alliance leadership, but I cannot stay totally silent.  DA, your declaration of war was, in my opinion, premature and flippant.  But that says nothing of your character or integrity as an alliance, and I do not wish to see the number 2 alliance torn apart so early in the game.  If H? were to take a commanding lead this early, the server might not recover.  I play another browser-based game where the alliance I am in has thrived and reached a dominant position by merit, loyalty, and talent for coordination alone, which is awesome...except the game is utterly dead now.  My possession of massive fleets is no less boring then my enemies' helplessness.  In the end, I gave up to more active mates all my holdings in every ocean but the one where I started, where I occasionally log in and queue more troops for the heck of it.

I want to see this server grow into a rich, diverse land with fair competition and room for fair play and solid reputations to thrive.  No matter what Diablito appeared to have to offer, I assure you that you are better off without him, DA, and you should thank me for pulling his teeth for you.  Diablito, no doubt you know exactly what I'm talking about.  Some of us have integrity, so tread lightly while you search for your next mark.  I hope The White Company truly deserves you...and sleeps with one eye open and on you.

vaunt, I don't really get what you are saying.  If you want an economic war, why declare militant war?  You don't see USA and China declaring war, do you?

(Psst.  He had 11 units left after my attack, and at least 100 inbound from alliance mates who were late to get online, whose already-launched attacks were turned back because he fled to White--a game mechanic which in my opinion does far to much to reward cowardice.)  Now he was already planning on moving to White, but that is some pretty handy timing.  And yes, the value you place on honor is pretty clear.

Rwdnyll hear that him run like elf in forest during the hunt... Not that Rwdnyll still hunt elf for sport, but the memories will always be a thing of beauty...

Rwdnyll thinks that the timing of the celebrated departure from the frey was more than just handy...

It is a yellow finger that twitches over the big red button...

Hur hur hur, pitiful meatsack have as much courage as a flower throwing elf pansy, plus a total lack of honour for good measure... It call itself Orc, hur hur hur
