I keep hearing equal or larger sized alliance. What does that have to do with a fair fight or just grounds for starting one?
If I weighed 145 lbs and was a professional boxer would anyone who weighed 145 lbs or more be considered a fair fight for me?
How does experience, commander levels, lands claimed etc weigh into the scales when determining fair?
There might be some who drink h? Kool-aid, I am not one of them.

Again with the opinions. I clearly stated I only want the facts.

Ok, another futile attempt at a factual thread. Guess all of you are more interested in spinning your spin than actual facts. If any of the GM's cruise these threads please close this one as the topic has deviated into a hash of opinions again of people trying to justify their actions. All I asked for was facts, not a 4 page hash of old issues repeated so often in every other thread.

How can you say that? In your opening posts you ask for evidence of NC aggression and it has been provided, in the form of examples of their conductnot only from the CK/RE affair but also during and after the Bane/NC war. Moreover, the NC leader's , Sir Brad's post linked to this thread is just about the boldest aggressive statement an alliance leader can make in this game. That in itself is evidence. In the end though the most compelling evidence is the case of Shammara which shows the depths of "nastiness" to which they prepared to go.
Cast aside KP's poor attempt's at denial and later his excuses - This thread shows with evidence that:
1. Celtic Knights, EE, Ucrow, Vcrow are not the aggressive alliances that KP deliberately tried to portray them as; 2, Night Crusaders are an aggressive military alliance. Not only do they fight wars but they will aggressively provoke them. They are even capable of destroying accounts during peace negotiations without a second thought. (Big problem there!) 3. H? do not treat there allies with equal respect. Indeed they treat some of them with contempt;
To my mind KP has deliberately misrepresented this whole CK/RE affair for his own ends and entertainment but the Illy community has seen through his poorly veiled lies and threats. I think people are running out patience and tolerance of KP as leader of H? They want to see a change. A big change. |

Everyone in Bane except Shamarra agreed too and made good on the surrender terms. Malek was very good at making sure everyone complied. In the agreement many of the II members that were instrumental in the near destruction of our player Warren Gabriel were asked to lose some cities.
For weeks NC waited for the II members to provide the cities they wanted to be razed. Every member complied. They dropped runes, disbanded troops and the cities were razed with no issue.
Shamarra gave us two cities for raze. She refused to drop her runes or disband her troops. We had to scout her cities and she was reinforcing the ones she agreed to give up. Once our siege landed she attacked them and they were wiped out.
So, Shamarra decided to not accept the terms of surrender as agreed upon by Malek. After numerous attempts from NC to get her to comply she would not accept. I was notified by several sources that the she intended to suicide out on NC rather than comply with the terms of surrender.
She continued to attack our camps and reinforce her cities. When her troops were all gone she seemed to have abandon the account. There was no activity, no vans moving, no igms etc etc. There was no reason for us to believe she was still actively playing or even wanted to play anymore.
BTW, our ex Player Beecks has been inactive for some time. Once Shade laid the first siege on the account we decided to cut the account loose. Beecks has promised many times to come back. In the meantime, Beecks recieved an igm from a vCrow player (Ryklaw) saying that even though the account is not in NC, they are going to wipe it out, just in case you come back and want to be in the war.
Hypocritical? You be the judge...

It's a metric that is visible to everyone. Is it perfect? no. Is it an overall gauge of how much someone with a pair can push? yes. You don't like it, then ignore it, a large portion of the server actually uses it. It's been used before you started playing, and will be used after you quit.
And comparing a single boxer to the potential of a player of certain matrices, that is a logical fallacy and I am pretty sure you know it. That is of coarse if you aren't sniffing glue.

Actually sis, you should consider this to be less of a war and more of a vote. I think that is what the server is saying. Keep drinking the h? Kool-aid

Blazing Arrow,
So its okay for vCrow and Shade to do it, but not when it happen to Shamarra. Do you not see the total hypocrisy in your posting?
