Granlik we've shown mercy towards you in the past because of your small size and presumably newbie status:
When we sent our dummy sieges consisting with only 1 trebuchet (catapult like unit), we were expecting that your bigger alliance members would clear them. The reason for this was to lure enemy units to long journeys. But when your alliance mates didn't clear those sieges, we recalled them.

Now that LWO has disintegrated, we assume that only members who want to fight remain there, so don't be surprised if real sieges come to you. If you want to prevent this, simply leave LWO...

Published in Tor Carrock     The Illyriad Free Times.               Issue No. 2

                      An occasional publication for the edification of our readers throughout Elgea.


As we go to press it is believed that the war between LWO (reduced) and BSH continues. Details are somewhat obscure but this paper has been reliably informed that LWO (reduced) do not wish for BSH to continue to trudge all across Elgea to get them and BSH do not wish to continue to trudge all across Elgea to get LWO.

Diplomatic sources also suggest that CoK wish to be paid something by someone for the inconvenience of joining in.

 

Our War correspondent has doubled his efforts to bring you the most interesting and informative insights of this conflict.

 

Down in Lan Larosh he managed to put some questions to the commanders of two opposing infantry units that had been in conflict with each other for several days.

They were Commander Isski Faren-Holtograllshi of the Elvish Seventh Golden Feathered Forest Regiment and Chief Headbasher Grok of the DeathHead Wargroup.

 

Our Correspondent: ” Gentlemen, bearing in mind that you both have now faced each other in conflict and have both seen the dedication and bravery of your opponents, both far from the lands of your births, do you not feel a common bond and respect towards worthy opponents?”

Commander Isski Faren-Holtograllshi: “Soldiers throughout time have pondered on the discomfits of battle and the consequences of their actions”

Chief Headbasher Grok : “Nah”

 Our Correspondent: “Thank you. Following that can you comment on a war that, although involving many nations, factions and races. In essence has brought inconvenience and disruption to a far greater number of non combatants then those involved due to the long range nature of the conflict and that has also amplified the logistical side of military planning then that is normally required?”

Chief Headbasher Grok: “Wot?”

Commander Isski Faren-Holtograllshi : “An interesting question. The physical nature of different conflicts depends to large degree on the underlying politico-diplomatic stresses, rather then the overall military position. Therefore, regardless of the specific or quantitive requirements nesser…”

Our Correspondent: “Err, I’m afraid we have run out of time. Thank you both and I hope both of you have a good day.”

 

In the Vale of Lycerna our man was lucky to find an Orc column as it jogged homeward after a long and successful siege.

Our Correspondent: “Are you pleased to be going home?”

1st Orc  “Who’s going home?”

2nd Orc “ What did he say?”

1st Orc  “Going home”

2nd Orc  “You’re going home?”

3rd Orc  “Me? I’m going to war”

1st Orc  “ I think I am”

3rd Orc  “What you thinking?”

4th Orc  “ I don’t think”

2nd Orc  “ You don’t think your going home?”

4th Orc   “ No. I think I’m following you”

1st Orc   “Don’t interrupt me mate….”

3rd Orc   “You talking to me?”

5th Orc   “ Oi, mind where your putting that spear!”

At this point our correspondent couldn’t keep up with them and the column gradually disappeared into the distance throwing up a large cloud of dust.

 

About our War Correspondent.

Yalli Ars-Lightfoot is a High Elf who spent many years as a Kings Messenger and thus has a detailed knowledge of the lands of Elgea. He also has that open, friendly, good natured, tactful, understanding yet nosey and inquisitive manner so important for someone who seeks the real story behind the headlines. We are pleased to have him on our staff.  In further issues we will introduce more of our specialist correspondents to you.

 

Update:  In our last edition we reported the comments of a Pikeman from the town of Nafflik while he was on campaign regarding a nearby dwarven High school for girls. He refused to give his name to Yalli on that occasion.

Unfortunately by the time he got back home he had been identified and was met by his wife, her three brothers and his mother-in law. Pikeman Johhn in now recovering in the Nafflik Military Hospital for Serious Wounds.

Firstly, LWO has not sent any diplo attacks for at least a week.

Secondly, ask Tigre if he had heard of LWO or been involved in unprovoked attacks prior to this war.

(3) LWO stands for Love World Order, Love is everything good and that's what we attempt to stand for. If 'Black Skull Horde' don't wont to portray themselves as evil then maybe they should change their image. If their intention was to be nasty and horrible then surely they should expect to be targets for the good.

(4) At the start of this war LWO would have struggled to muster 100k troops. We have destroyed well over 250k troops from BSH, CoK and Skullcrushers. Cok tried to set five simultanious sieges on me and failed to raze or capture one of my towns. Finnnn's town was razed after a bug (confirmed by GM Luna) sent all re-inforcements from his town. Altaria was absent (possibly visiting her Grandson in the real world) and so were her armies when Tigre captured her town.

Just like in the real world, fear has its grip on Elgea and I'm not afraid to lose but I will never compromise my stance by handing over anything to the 'Evil Ones'

Gentlemen, I saw many many threads like this in Evony.  I'm also fond of enumerating, so let me lend my expertise to your skruggle.

a.  Obviously, the Love World Order has the moral high ground in this struggle and every alliance that sort of sounds evil should be pummeled, eviscerated, and kicked in the ding ding.

2.5 Its entirely possible that "Black Skull Horde" was an innocent band of accordion players in the beginning.  (we hairy few, we band of accordion players)

pie) I can assure both of the people reading this thread that fear does NOT have its grip on this county in Eastern Tennessee.  We have plenty of resources down here and our alliance does not sound evil. Also, we say grapes and we say ma'am. 

Please know that after tiring my lips reading all 20 pages of this thread, I still can do naught but tremble in abject trepidation at the thought that somewhere there is an Eternal Fire or Flame that is angry.  


Should I flee now or wait a bit?

Please advise/admonish accordingly.


I remain hirsute,

Hiram

Yeeeeah.  At this point I think there's so little point in discussing anything with LWO - so little expectation of truth or even of rational conversation - that there's really nothing to be gained by checking this thread, so I won't be doing it from now on.

This reminded me of Amroth and the whole Champ vs Dark Blight thing. It was bad justification then and it's bad justification now.

TBH, I've always preached that if you want a war come free to come and have one, so I can in no way criticise LWO for wanting to have a war. I do criticise hiding behind false justifications like that one and the one where you attacked BSH and said it was because of their confederation with CoK though.
