Making a stand

Does this mean you won't be attacking Mana?  Because if that's the case, I'm sure my armies can be better used elsewhere.

For if you do adhere to your words, then stopping at that makes you both little better than the champagne socialists whom bereave the plight of the poor whilst sleeping in french linen. Do you believe such, or was this more to ease your conscience in order for a good nights sleep? If its the latter then know your future opinions will be held with little weight.

Without villains there are no heroes.

I'm not calling NC a villain by any stretch, and I'm not advocating for either side. I'm suggesting that if everyone is of the mentality that disruptions to the social norms should be met with utter annihilation, eventually there will be no dissenters remaining, and no conflict, at which point Military combat may as well be removed from the game.

So I'm suggesting that whichever side you are on in this conflict, the goal should not be to siege the enemy out of the game. Rather look at it like a thorned plant in your yard. Although dangerous, it also brings a vibrant color to the scene. When it grows too wild and becomes a hazard, do not yank it out, but rather trim it back, that it may grow back and continue to color your yard.
