That is what I would think, but I have heard rumour of an alliance telling its members if they leave they must exo all cites out of the alliance territory, or face retribution.

However, this is little more than a rumour as I have said.  I have not seen the alliance put such a threat into action.
<Deranzin> I'd agree with darkone on that

I note that the post that raised the point about leaders "killing" people who chose to leave comes from a neutral party, perhaps speculating based on his experience in past games rather than anything that has actually occurred in this war.

It seems unlikely that alliances on either side of the war are threatening their members who wish to leave.  Not only would protection be offered by the other side, it would constitute a propaganda coup for their enemies.  Not to mention that it usually turns out to be really ineffective -- possibly leading to even more people leaving when they realize that their "leadership" have turned into dictators.

Illyrians have traditionally stood against both "join or die" and "leave and die" as alliance philosophies.  I doubt that either side would long tolerate an alliance that espoused either of these principles in their ranks.

Its optional since exoing with lots of troops inside will cost you a lot. Dropping out from the war is optional too - but if you do - prolly your leaders will kill if you. :D


Not if you are on our side.

All players should be free to surrender from the war if that is what they wish, I have heard some rumor of a certain alliance threatening its members to not surrender, however if someone is under such itinerant threats from some insane leader they should let the other side know, so as protection can be offered as part of the surrender terms.

All I have to say: nobody really understand H?

I think no one really understands any alliance. Or any player for that matter. It is kinda silly to claim that only one side is misunderstood.

That being said, how do you feel that your side is misunderstood? How could I understand you better? (This could be answered by anyone and should perhaps belong in its own thread.)

The best way a player can do is - exo his cities inside the fortress and rebuild.

Thoughts from the sidelines. :|

It may be that you are right. Then again, you may be wrong.

Sir, I respectfully disagree with your statement about a slow death in Illy.

Let me quote if you don't mind a famous Roman stoïc philosopher, Seneca the Younger:

Urbes constituit aetas, hora dissolvit 
Lifetime builds up cities, a single hour ruins them.

The reason I am bringing this up is that I maintain there will be a pain threshold (like in any other war, whether fantasy or real) beyond which - and provided hopefully that players get some wise guidance from their leadership -  it will no longer make any sense for the losers (as a community of players) to keep on fighting.

This statement obviously takes nothing away from the hardcore few that still prefer to loose all what they built over the years in the very best "Alamo" style.

Let me end with another quote that means a lot to me personally and to our alliance Invictus:

"Salus populi suprema lex esto."
Let the welfare of the people be the supreme law.

Regards,
Tatharion

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong.

Just thought I would put this back here after derenzin burying it.

Not to mention the BS claims of us 'exterminating accounts'.

edit:  I just wish a certain player had the common decency to respond when his claims were brought into question, rather than having his alliance friends post on the forum in an attempt to bury those questions.
