Harmless Wartime Policy Announcement

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.

That is a load of nonsense Anjire.

Dark did not siege anyone out of the game, ever.

During the Consone-Coalition war, 1 player alone was driven out of WR because he gave his word not to take part in attacks on Dark and went back on his promise. 2 or 3 of his cities were razed and I believe that 2 more were Exodused.

Harmless? did not reign Dark in. First because Dark always does what we believe is the right thing to do and second because H? never had that power over us.

Twilights rants. That is what she does. She never made Dark's policy or directed Dark's actions. She is our friend and we love to have her with us. I believe Twilights never razed a town.

I was just informed by the said player from my first paragraph that while Dark negotiated said agreement with his alliance leadership, he was not made aware at the time of this agreement and thus attacked us without breaking his word. I was not aware of this until now, but believe his words to be true. I will not edit my first paragraph in order to acknowledge that part of what I wrote there is most probably wrong.
