Oh Also from what I have read in this forum all I postly see is bias against valar. In terms of actual 'facts" which I say loosly as I haven't had time to verify is this war is about 2 issues 1. roller/spirit who has already lost a toatal of 4 cities by curse and surely has paid any dues he ows 2. attacks against rainstorm by valar which from what I hear were direct attacks that didn't destroy cities yet PA/champ and potentially H? wish to start an actual war that destroys cities?

Hello everyone, I'm sure all of you who are interested in this thread know who I am, I'd just like to point out that neither bec or I have heard anything about this situation until now. You may applaud AA for not seeking help from the global community, however often PoS has become involved in Valar disputes and sorted things out. Given that AA never contacted us about valars actions I highly doubt his claims that he tried to resolve things diplomatically and rather responded in a "hey you freaking #$$%^& fight me one on one" fashion

I think Squill was Indomiti until pretty recently ... perhaps spelling lapses can be excused.

There is one think I REALLY need to point out before I burst. This thread was started by squill I believe unless my memory has gone to goo at 3 am. You would think that as a member of 'the VALAR' he would be able to spell it correctly...

Don't believe me... SCROLL UP!

What makes you think there's anything more to it than this? Just because there's a big war brewing doesn't mean there's a good reason for it.

I'm with Manannan on this. I do't see what this has to do with, for example, the Dwarven Lords!
I kind of understand why people are looking for a conspiracy here - none of this situation makes any sense, and "it's a conspiracy" offers a neat solution.
I'm really surprised that _duQ is still getting wheeled out as an excuse for this. Seriously, what's the reality of duQ? The guy acted like a jerk; H? did a superb (intelligent, measured, just) job of stepping in and blocking his aggression; he wouldn't accept that he had acted like a prat (annoying both his neighbours and alliance members without cause); so the Valar threw him out. End of.
This has nothing to do with whatever the heck is happening now.

The whole thing makes no sense.

LOL, at the conclusion to the _duQ incident was enough to provoke a response from H?. They ultimately at the end of the day will do what they want to. They are not the Illy police but I'm sure they'll lay down some law if they feel the need to whomever they feel is the bigger evil. 
I still see no evidence of their involvement as yet despite Az's claim earlier so I guess I'll have to keep watching the military/siege page with interest. 
So many conspiracy theories and paranoia flying around here that I feel the need to buy a massive fly swat to kill some of them. Or maybe I could bottle them and use them as lanterns....
What do you mean that only works with fairies!?!?

wow, how the crap flies here. OK Listen up sweethearts this is my last post here. already more then a little disgusted. Squill, Is is better to remain silent, and allow all to believe you are a fool then to open your mouth, and remove all doubt. The rest of you. I am continually amazed by the juveniles here who deem themselves wits....please.... To clarify, Azreil began this when he ordered attacks to Champions forces without cause or declaration. This is the treacherous act of a coward. Lorre and PA back us in this action because they believe what we stand for. so many smart comments here but what positions have you taken save to laugh from the fence....Kurfist...i don't know why you bother, You have been shown the door yet the voice remains...self gratification I suppose. I do appreciate any who spoke here in sincere interest to see anything good come of this. There is good and bad. These are not abstract concepts..these are the basis for any community. We the Eternal Champions will stand for what we believe to be right. If we fall, so be it, but no excuses. We will not cry, nor did we when Valar 5times larger attacked. We retreated to regroup and offer a response. The fact that Azreil thought it was over tells me he would not have the stones to stand as I have here. Otherwise he should not be surprised should he. Except now the situation looks to him reversed. All Illy rises against poor Valar....what a sod. This is who Valar serve...(shakes head) Thus far only Champs and PA have sent attacks that I am aware. I offered him the chance to settle this before just him and me. A fair fight in country with no hard feelings and to decide the matter only...no siege, no blast players out of illy....a simple contest of honor to decide the issue. The record is clear. He would not asceed to my challenge. where the honor in this? rightfully should he be named craven and coward. This has left me few options. We do reserve the right to defend ourselves and defend our sovereignty. This is done now. So much for the mob voice. I was taught that you stand for something or you fall for anything. We, The Eternal Champions, stand as servants to the meek and stewards of the humble. I have never said more then this, at any time. So to all who would wade into this..pick a side and stick to your beliefs...and if ya ain't got the stones for either...shut up and get outta the way. I have a war to fight, and I am surely done with this forum topic. Good day | This particular passage shows the true nature of AmrothAnguireal. It has everything , the arrogance, the self centred nature and the contempt he has for the community's opinion. I think everyone really knows what lies behind this and a series of previous actions involving both Lorre and AA - together and separately. What they really want - is to provoke a war between Valar on the one hand and H?/Dlord on the other. It's the same old pattern of creating an issue and then exaggerating it that we have seen used before. They attempt demonize Valar and Azreil in the hope that Belargyle or the H? board will commit their armies in an all out war against Valar. However most sensible veteran players like Kilo see right through this - simply because Valar are not villianous and cannot be compared to MK or TMM. Azreil cannot be compared to Tubana. You only need to read AA's phraseology above to see where the aggression is coming from here. This not the first time that we have seen this and I think it is high time that community stepped in NOT to declare war on Valar but to prevent it. Other alliances like Dlord, H? and others should step in to maintain the peace by laying down the law to AA and Lorre to behave themselves and conduct themselves in a peaceable way. Give them a chance to stand down just this once but punish them if they refuse. That way we can restore peace and make Illyriad a better game for all.

This made me lol. It's a very good point though. (And before someone jumps on my back, I'm not going to blindly agree with any one side and regardless of what everyone likes to think, both sides are to blame for this. As such, I do sometimes agree a point made from either side and will continue to do so. However that doesn't mean that because I don't agree with something one side has done that I'm against them.)
