That seems well said, but I think they choose to have issue Steel. Right or wrong they are doing exactly as you said. They are playing the game the way they want. Who are you to tell them to change it to a different type of game cause you disagree? It seems to me they are playing the war game just as they have pictured it.

so, you made a bunch of anonymous attacks and then posted about it here because you were tired of all the talk, talk, talk and politics?
Wow, you guys really thought this out. You're obviously thinking circles around the rest of us. You owe Grim an apology because he could have turned this into a real political brewhaha if he had wanted to.
Here's a question though. If you 10 are so bored and are looking for a real fight, why don't you divide into two teams of 5 and fight a real war? At least then you would have a fight against worthy opponents. Why fight someone you so clearly feel is inferior and why waste the forums time by telling us about it? STEEL doesn't seem to care if you attack them, I don't care, others here don't care. Go find a corner and play a war game if that is your wish.
I do not understand why the people that want to play a war game can't stop talking about it and just do it. This "game" can be like 5 or 10 or 20 or ?? games. You can play a wargame, other people can play cityville, others can play tradeville, others can play mysteryville, others can play a large MMOG. If you want a war game, find someone else who also wants a war game like the one you want and start a war game. If you want to tromp around like a bully though, well that's different. If you want to be the self appointed Mrs. Manners of Illy, that's different too. Some people might just object to either of those decisions and you're going to wade hip deep into a lot of talk, talk, talk and politics in either situation.

Since your statement here is in response to concern for newbs... Just to clarify; do you mean new settlements of non-newbs being diplo'ed? That's how I read what you wrote. It's a lot different than "STEEL newbs are being diplo-attacked".

Are you actually suggesting that attacking someone diminishes the "progress" (What does that even mean?) of Elgea?
|
invictusa can correct me, but I believe they mean the undeclared war part of it. If NC wanted to issue a fight, then they should have just issued it and not dance about the room ignoring the elephant.
The loss of progress being that we don't tend to wage undeclared wars in Illyriad, like in other games. |
Huh. I read it as him saying that STEEL (ans the punks/trolls) were diminishing the progress of the game, and that NC was forward thinking. Same offer though.
Incidentally, while methods of war declaration may vary in Illy, I don't think I've played any game where declarations are much less clear(and then only due to game mechanics), and several where declarations where much clearer and more eloquent.

"if you want a reaction of the community, here is my reaction: if the
show is good i will clap hands, if the show is bad (newbie abuse in war
context ) i will want to express my distaste. maybe even mid show. "
Too late. New settlements of STEEL members have been dipo-attacked.

I can personally attest to the fact that Bonfyr had nothing to do with this. He does enjoy a good "party" though.
