It is not in my nature to make long drawn out posts in the forums, as i feel just like RL, anything over two paragraphs gets glossed over and the message is either lost, watered
down or just downright ignored.
And i also expect to get lambasted for what i am writing, it does not take to discerning a mind to differentiate those that hide under the guise of roleplaying to a troll
Now to the actual reason for writing this thread. Negociations have broken down with H? to the point of being farcicle. But let me start at the beginning of negociations.
On February 12th i approached H? as to what terms for surrender would be. Their very prompt reply, from Killerpoodle who is handling negociations, was that had approached me twice already and i had "blew them off". KP went on to say that they could not trust us and when they do decide to offer us terms, they will be very harsh
Unfortunatly their own communications from within had let them down, Kumo had approached me and invited me to a chatzy with Starry, always having an open door policy, i decided to listen to what they had to say. I am sure Kumo still has a copy of the room if anyone needs verification. The upshot was after i had time to think and returned to chat more on the following day, i was chatised for attacks (true we did break up a seige) and that our surrender terms were going to be harsher for it. It was my naivete that actual found me in the middle of discussions i didn't know were happening. I declined going forward without hearing what they had to offer
The above i explained briefly to H? in a three line paragraph, however HM entered the fray with the following quote
I was assurred there would be increased adverse reactions to continued resistance
The end result of this was 50 odd fake attacks being sent at my cities, this is not an issue we are at war, i use this for storytelling only
In the following couple of days the breakup of Consone occured, and in the interest of negociations, eagles included, i kept H? up to date with what was happening, in the hope of some ease of terms
On the 16th of Feb i told them i understood they were busy and would be patient and Starry replied thanking me for my understanding
By the time the 5th of March came and no reply from H?, i posted a query whats happening style. I had no reply inside 24 hours so we resumed hostilities thinking we were being played for suckers.
We launched a preplanned seige on tansiraine, when terms were finally delivered on the 7th of March. When the seige landed H? added another 5 cities to be razed
The first off of surrender wterms were to surrender to every member of the Coalition, some who we were not even at war with, some that joined halfway through. They asked originally for 38 cities and have added another 5 since and included a penaly of 2 billion plus 200k of T@ resources of value, cows saddles leather armour etc. And of course an announcement that we surrender.!
From here on end it was to and fro of towns already lost and what we had exo'd and players leaving alliances and the game. Our counter offer was rejected and we have yet to find one we can swallow ourselves.
Today i posted our stance, we will ask H? for reasonable terms, i was met with rudeness and derision.
Well i stand here with shovel in hand, EE cannot make peace with converations like this. At no stage would i allow that from a stranger, let alone someone on-line, we are all decent people worthy of respect. I say to H? what you have done publicly is now shown you do privately as well,the biggest loser of this whole debacle is illyriad itself.
I will continue to play the game of Illy, if you want my cities you know where they are, i will not resist, but i will not surrender now either, tis a small price to fight tyranny.
I apologise for my original post, i did not fully understand terms and conditions of Illy and i published quotes from the embassy, i have duly informed of my error i have corrected
