I would have to disagree with the use of the phrase "real crow". There are simply those crows who agree with this current war and support it and those who do not agree with it and do not support it.

Sorry for the use of "real" SF. It just feels like some are true to the original ideals and others I don't recognize.

Dark-- you are completely wrong. Our war against white/black was because you you all were aggressively trying to turn this game into Travian. We've always been fine with mercs. And Rill-- I find it interesting that someone whose involvement for the last several months seems to be limited to talking about how horrible Illy is and the last couple years trying to discredit H? Feels that suddenly her opinion is relevant. Either play the game or don't. But have the guts for once to be honest, forthright and direct. And nice try on trying to get Dlords to not like us.

The bottom line is we have NOT changed. This grudgalition against us is exactly the kind of force we have always resisted.

This is so far from the truth that it's not even funny.

The war started because H? refused to help Diablito in his plan to destroy his current alliance from the inside as a way to launch his mercenary alliance ambitions with a big bang.

He also got pranked pretty badly by one of our directors which further bruised his immense ego.

While we declined to join him in his mercenary adventures, we definitely did not make any decree's about how people should play the game.

Ill give you the war on white was well deserved, but you have changed since then. ANd Kumo - I find it interesting your able to say that to rill when your very own Honored Mule posted that hes not been on much but hes the one to post H? all new war policy

As you know very well yourself 'I' have always stepped up to stop this game turning into travian or evony, it is not my alliance that is out for global domination

RE Rill, are you honestly claiming such a player's views have no relevance to this game, merely because they are in contradiction to your power gaming?  Exactly how big is your ego?  This game is not designed around you Kumo, other players views are just as relevant as yours.

LOL.. so this is against you?  Sorry but not sure how you ordering your allies to attack Crow allies and then using our defense of our allies as propaganda against us, surmounts to a 'grudgalition' against you?


Just another example of how useless you are at spinning

We have never ordered our allies to do anything.  We have never even asked them to attack anyone - it is you who is making a poor attempt at spin - much like your attempt at revisionist history earlier in this thread.

The difference between you and I is that I still have all the forum posts, IRC chat logs and IGM's from the actual alliance leader to alliance leader conversations at the time - while you just have baseless speculation.

Rill, I would caution against responding to Gragnog's and Deranzin's posts. Please read the following comment...


And since when am I Gragnog, pray tell us .?. LOL

Gragnog has his own ways and reasons of posting and I have mine. Now, if you have a similar quote of mine to put or some proof that I am trolling or something, then put it up and PROVE YOUR POINT, else this is just slander.

[Edit] : Plus you "forgot" to mention that this quote of Gragnog's was from a "light" thread he created for that reason and that does not mean that he behaves like that all the time. [/edit]

I think it´s hard to get more contradictory. Kumo´s starting post ammounts to "Thank the REAL Crows, that they betrayed their (corrupted) allies and not their values" and now you can´t understand how others (in this case even one of those, who betrayed their friends on your enemies side) can dare to even hope the same would have happend on your site of the conflict?


Well, it might have been contradictory if that quote you have there was ACTUALLY MADE !

You just made that up and put it in brackets and you want me to answer for something YOU created out of thin air .?. LOL

If that is what you understood from that topic, fine, no problem, but why should I apologize for it .?. Wink

It´s just because some have abbandoned their friends and not went with them headless into a silly conflict that the the war didn´t escalate into even more enemies for you. But when others hope, this would have happend on your side too to get an even smaller conflict, it´s bad? If you really think that, maybe you should ask Kumo to skip his exhortations on the real crows in his starting post, because obviously they were wrong in doing so and are bad friends...


No, people making their own choices and standing by them is definitely not bad. If you noticed I do not judge ANY position on the war, neither those that fight nor those that do not.

 What IS "bad" however is what Rill did, judging all those people, calling them "sad exceptions" and calling them to "come to their senses" as if someone appointed her the sole judge of reason and happiness and all those players are somehow beneath her and should adhere to her as the "voice of reason".


Did we have a vote as a community where we allowed Rill to insult and patronize everyone and I didn't notice .?. LOL

LOL it is hardly just me that is being revisionist KP, you and your alliance keep claiming they have all this 'evidence' to back up their claims, strange how you never publish any of it and how your take on matters differs to so many, including those that are neutral in this war.

And my post was as I said from my personal experience and views.  Do I claim anywhere that I am 100% correct?... no, and I never do, because I am human and I am knowledgeable enough to recognise that what I have seen or experienced is not necessarily the concrete reality for all involved.

I would say this is the main division within our dialectics, that you and your allies seem to think that there can only be a single truth to a situation, when there are always many sides to every matter.

Simply claiming someone is revisionist because you disagree with their views, or their take on it is very amateur and honestly I would expect better.  People experience situations in very different ways, so in effect anyone's take on a past situation is revisionist according to another, as their views on the history of the situation will differ.

Now can you explain why Kumo tried to claim that I in someway was aggresively trying to make this game like Travian?  Or why he seems to think that other experienced players views are irrelevant to this game?  Or any of the other matters that have been addressed?  Rather than bouncing around words that you may think make you sound intellectual but infact have very little meaning or relevance at all.

Yes, because you cut his sentence in half.

This is what he wrote :

And this is what you quoted :

So he was obviously not talking about you in specific, but the whole alliance in general. One could say that had you not cut that quote, noone would have ever thought that misunderstanding ... Wink
