You realize the Crowilition has exceeded H? population for far longer than the Consone was even an idea right? Not to mention we've been neutral in just about ever war that has ever taken place in illy. I'm not really for or against either side, I think it's great that there's finally a really big war but your reasoning of why Harmless? is getting into it seems flawed.

Do you disagree, did you not read my post or are you just expressing an anonymous but somewhat unrelated opinion? |

I raise my Tankard to Harmless? may your mercy not reach these people, crush Consone underfoot before you burn their world to the ground!

I do think that in some instances the war declaration is more of a token of support/opposition, rather than an indicator of the more meaningful conflicts. For example, I rather doubt there will be a great deal of fighting between H? and the three alliances they're at war with that have less than 10 people each.
It does make the H? diplomacy page more interesting than it was. But so do all the new confederations. There's just all sorts of diplomacy on there now!

What brave soldiers, selflessely throwing their own cities are risk of military agression to defeat those horrible players in Harmless! |

I am sorry for posting this so late, but
the war declaration happened late at night my time and although I spend too
much time playing Illyriad, I do have a life. I feel strongly that the reason Harmless? declared war on our confederate Invictus was that Harmless? fears that of the growth in playing a game of building and collaboration will take away the importance of the wargame that they are playing and thus reduce the control they feel and their “winning” of the game as they play it. The size and growth rate of Consone is obviously a danger signal to a wargame player, and although we have never done anything aggressive to the wargamers, we have always been accommodating and striving to make peaceful and rational decisions and agreements; a wargamer will not understand what a builder-game player has as a motive, and they turned even more frightened by our lack of aggression. Dwarven Druids have declared war on Harmless? because Harmless? declared war on an alliance that we are confederated with, and according to both Harmless? wargame code of honour and our building game code of honour that is what you do, it is the default action. But there is more than a default action of protecting a confederate alliance from an unwarranted or at least un-proportional attack. We have declared war on Harmless? at this instance because we believe that if we do not stand up now and defend our way of playing the game by peaceful building, then the next alliance that grows big from successful application of those ideals will be the next target for attack – or worse, the game might deteriorate towards one of many similar wargame clones and the joy of building, exploring and seeing the world unfold into exciting details and events will be lost in a mist of battles. (Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the occasional wargame, it is just that that is not my reason for playing Illyriad.) Thus, for those in Harmless? that understand the concept of the builder game that the bulk of Consone players are playing, if you just take the time to read our posts and declarations with that in mind, you will find that we do not challenge Harmless? as an alliance, we just want to be able to play our somewhat different game in our part of the world – the two parts could indeed overlap almost completely and we would only very rarely notice, unless you choose to keep regarding us as a competitor for power in your wargame. We are not a competitor, and will not be, unless you force us to compete – we might not be the best at it, but we are pretty persistent, and by the way the game is developing there will be more of us coming in, so you better get used to us if you want to keep your wargame up and running as well. May your beards grow, and your wisdom! /Nesse, Great Archdruid
PS. Peace negotiations should preferentially be directed through Jasche, as the head of Consone. |
