Had
to wade through about 3 years of IGM's to track down the information
and make sure my t's were crossed and i's dotted.  Yes, I still
have a handful of contacts within DARK.  I was very active
helping a number of their members expand in some areas to the point I
even sacrificed my alt to make room for a number of their cities.  

Late
November, early December of 2012, Killer Poodle posted in the war
room H?'s policy about limiting damages to players to 1-2 towns at
most unless there were extenuating circumstances and a request that
coalition members abide by this as well.  This post by Killer
Poodle was prompted because of DARK's actions against a member of
Consone in Western Realms.  It resulted in an internal vote by
DARK  to abide by Harmless?'s request or not.    I
guess since Killer Poodle only had to approach DARK twice more during
the war in regards to this policy the result of the vote can be
assumed.  Not that there were some very vocal advocates pushing
for wanton destruction of any/all Consone Accounts within Western
Realms by prominent members of DARK leadership.  

At
that time, it wasn't about sieging a player from the game that wasn't
even a consideration at the time.  This war, due to IGM's that
have been forwarded and the language being expressed, it is quite
clear that one side initially had no qualms for pushing forth such a
doctrine.  however, since this posting by Honored Mule the
language has changed and a number of break throughs have been made.
 We will continue to push from our end to abide by such a
doctrine.  

~I
don't listen to twilights for the setting of DARK policy, I listen to
twilights to get a feel for the policy/stance set by DARK leadership.
 She has been very accurate over the last year in foretelling
positions and stances for DARK as a whole.  It lines up
surprisingly well with all the forwarded IGM's that I have
accumulated from various DARK members/leadership over the past year.

There are some inaccuracies here:

1. There was no internal Dark vote. We thought that a Consone member who gave his word to stay out of the war went back on it and as a result of that we chased him out of WR, what he did not Exodus, we captured or razed.

2. Twilights is not Dark leadership. She is a very vocal member of Dark, but that does not mean that she gives word to the dominant stances in Dark, even if she does not bother stating "these views are my own and does not reflect Dark policy".

3. Recent months have seen a steady string of messages and posts from Dark leaders both in igms to you Anjire and in the H? embassy. In these messages, Dark leadership have made it very clear to H? directors how we feel about the continuous aggrssion by NC and their allies. H? chose either to ignore Dark's view, style it as influenced by spin, or made sure we understand that any action against it is unacceptable to H?
You should not have been surprised by our final decision to act. If anything, you may have been surprised by the support of so many others to our views and the joint opposition to the aggression you chose to disregard or even support.
