Thank you for the post Kumo. I think I understand a little better now. Though there is still in my mind the contradiction of "Consone not policing itself well enough" and your confederation being excluded from that principle.
I would encourage everyone to get to know Sir Bradly and the folks in NC... Not only do they have a very strong sense of honor, they are also really nice people! |
While I have no doubt that the people in NC are nice, the majority of my experience with the characters that they play has been verbal hostility and diplomatic coldness.*  Though I would be glad to be proven wrong here.

That's a very fair point, Vanerin...
The really huge point is that Consone had a combined population that was server controlling and absolutely massive (larger than the Crowalition or the H? Coalition) and NC has a tiny population in relation...
So... it's kind of like the difference between watching your 2 year old clear their play table of blocks and a megalition potentially smash hundreds of cities... (bad analogy, I know, but I have a 2 year old, so I see the violence of the blocks regularly!)
But I would highly recommend you get to know them more, as they are really nice, good folks!

Hal, this is completely false. Bane was extremely aggressive claiming sov on adjacent tiles next to a trainee in The Night Squires. When said player was asked to remove the sov, he was rude and decided to claim more. Malek finally got involved and assured me the claims would be removed. The claims were level 1 and level 2 claims. 8 days later they were still there. NC declared war on Bane to protect NS from their aggression. |
Actually the BANE player had been in the area for months and had claimed sovereignty long before the NS player (Jack_Ketch) spawned there. In fact, the day NC declared on BANE... Jack_Ketch had a whopping 112 population! Which basically means he was literally weeks away from even researching sovereignty!! 
Your argument is further weakened by the fact that no established player in their right mind, would EVER cede sovereignty to a player who spawns next to his/her city. Typical procedure is to politely inform the player that he's better off moving elsewhere.
Malek was very nice in caving to your demand; and asking a member of his alliance to cede sovereignty to a noob. How many people out there would even entertain such a request?
The facts (and your words) speak for themselves. The aggressor in this case was NC.

RE diplomats asked us for help. I have a mail from Ajeka to his alliance stating they were going to wipe out RE. RE was 240,000 vs xCKx which had over 2 million population. I have offered peace to xCKx numerous times. However they are not interested. Our goal was to stop hostilities against RE. It worked. NC has no ill will towards xCKx and would happily sign a peace deal. But, the other side appears to not be interested. |
Interesting that you would mention the mail Ajeka sent to his alliance. A message which you acquired either directly or indirectly, through shady means. This is especially ironic if you consider that the main reason xCKx declared on RE, was outrage over the fact that RE was spying on them!
If your goal really was end hostilities... why didn't you negotiate an end to the conflict, instead of declaring war on xCKx and involving your alliance in the war? I'm sure the threat of force alone, would have been enough to get xCKx to accept peace.
Once again, the facts speak for themselves.

You are right, NC will not stop defending NS or other small alliances |

If you bothered to read the initial post in this thread you would actually realize that this thread is not here to argue a point but list facts. Go troll the other threads for opinions. Please folks, lets keep it to facts.

Their methods of diplomacy are also different to what others view as correct but this does not make them bad. I myself tend to resort to launch first and then talk. Now if someone has facts, and not opinions, just list them here and then everyone can make their own decisions.

OP, colour coded for facts (which may or may not be accurate), opinions, and filler. I see more red than green...

Feel free to correct me, if I said anything that is either false or incorrect.
Also... I really don't want to argue semantics here, but if you open a thread with this...

you are obviously inviting an open discussion by expressing an opinion.
That said; I would love to have a factual discussion, and am eager to read your retort!

I have no need to argue. I stated the facts. The community will interpret the facts for themselves and make their own decision.
I would rather talk through igm to those who want clarification, than get pulled into an Forum argument. Past experience tells me that accomplishes nothing.

And Pongo, I think this may be you. If it is, at least post under your real identity. I would respect you then.
