I'm going to quote a friend of mine here, in regards to the cause of this war:
Made bed, now sleep in it.
Also, war is never fair, and IMO this one has been a long time coming.

I think there is one point in this aargaarbl that people are missing.
Where is Valars support? If they are being wronged in such a way as many of the people here point out (Ganged up on, witch hunt, mob rule, ect ect ect) Where is the overwhelming moral support for valar against the senseless aggressors. Where are their confeds? And if their confeds are assisting without declaring war or public announcements, WHY? Why are they ashamed to help out Valar openly?
Think about these questions for a while.

Creature my point is that this is no longer a war with valar, it is now an eradication, there are too many alliances involved on the one side to call it a war. Without the use of any strategy you could eliminate valar through sheer numbers.
If you go on to siege every large, active member of valar then you really have to admit that you ARE NOW THE BAD GUYS, valar are not the same as TMOT, they may like to play the role of the bad guys in the game but it at a level that is actually GOOD FOR THE GAME. A multi alliance strike only serves to eliminate what makes this game interesting.
If you wish to try and teach the likes of Azriel and Darkone to respect the global community, that's all well and good, but the global community should wake up from this and see that this is only going to homogenise the community and cause it to stagnate.
Seriously I haven't been anti H? since the end of White and black but your siege on Boromir isn't a war tactic, it is just a culling.

I agree. This is already an alliance-eradication campaign, not a war that aims to right some wrongs. I wonder about the real reasons behind their "war" against Valar.

You are assuming that Valar is being ganged-up on. It may be that Valar is under attack by these five alliances for their own reasons, and in order to meet with Illy game-mechanics requirements, a series of Confed agreements have been signed.

War is never fair and always opportunistic in some ways.

Boromir Never say's anything in global, is not in the higher council of VALAR and i can't recall him every saying anything bad about H? His greatest crime was being No.1 in the tournament.
He also joined valar for the turnament. |
Sure Boromir holds a position of great respect in the minds of people across Illy for his stoic approach and for winning the second tournament for VALAR.
But it is his decision to remain in VALAR after the tournament - and his decision to fight alongside Azreil in this war - if he did not want to be involved he need only have say. It is not for other people to decide what is wrong or right for Boromir himself.

so you expect players to run away from their alliance as soon as the allianceleaders are under attack? That's not a playingstyle that earns any credits. Are you really thinking: I don't like the leader of alliance A, so I gather allinace B,C,D and E and the members of alliance A will lkeave their leader for the wolves? Offcourse players stick to the alliance they have been in for some time. They probably stayed that long because they like the alliance they're in. I had the same thing when Amroth told me to leave KT. I'm not going to leave because someone tells me to. I can decide for myself and rather die in this game staying true to myslef then do whatever the big alliances tell me to do. I think it's admirable Valar are staying loyal to their leaders, rather then do what the 'community' demands.

I would really not have a problem with this war if it was H? and champ and PA vs valar or even valar vs H? but when it is 5 top 25 alliances vs 1 that's where i think it is unfair. |
+Curse has gotten involved. This war is not only unfair it's opportunistic.

when PA and champ declared on Valar they knew the size difference and accepted it as a reality. then they went and got H? to declare on valar as well |
I believe that H? have already said that they have been planning this for a month or more. A previous poster mentioned a memo sent round to DLords a while back telling them to gear up for a war? So, DLords and H? have been planning this for a while.
PA aren't an issue. They may have 80 members, but most are too small to fight, and even their leaders don't know why they're at war - that's just Lorre.
What is startlingly bad timing for Valar, is that Valar's leaders chose to put themselves in Curse and Champions' line-of-fire at exactly the time H? and DLords were building for an attack.
As a bit of a disclaimer, however, I'm basing my opinions purely on what has been said in this forum, plus a range of private messages from PA, Champs and H? members. Though I am in Valar, I have had no explanation from Valar's leaders as to how they think we got into this mess, nor any explanation of why we (Valar) chose to take in a refugee that Curse were at war with, nor provoke Champions. So, I have a better grasp of PA, Champs and H? perspectives, than I do of Valar, DLords or Curse perspectives.
