i understand that Shade has offered peace to certain players, and that it has been rejected. i do not know the terms or the circumstances, but the particulars seem inappropriate to discuss in forum anyway. i must asssume that KillerPoodle means by "atrocities" some offence against the H? rules of engagement, but it seems well-established from prior conversations and prior wars that a player who declines to surrender remains in the conflict.

in an attempt to turn this thread into a fruitful discussion...what should be the fate of an opponent who refuses surrender even after his/her army is destroyed?

So what, this war is being fought because of over-dramatic language?

As a conspiracy theory, this is my favourite ever.

Some long-time players appear to have forgotten that this is a game, a pastime or distraction from RL. There is no axis, and how can there be atrocities in a game - unless we now consider pixels and coding to have a life of their own. Get a life ppl, and enjoy the game. If you're no longer enjoying it, then maybe it's time to find another outlet for your entertainment.

Sisren, that might be all well and good if it had anything at all to do with what I posted. I thought it was obvious enough, but now I will be specific. The use of the word "atrocities" is way over the top, and actually silly when talking about a game, even as hyperbole. 

As for silence, I'm sure we will have quite a stretch of it while waiting for an account of the "atrocities" committed.

I'm sorry, I know this forum is full of serious conversation, but that last sentence made me laugh. Happy New Years everyone. Go get some ice cream and relax. Forget the war for a few hours. Cheers and may the um... never mind. Go relax.

It's a GAME...a little sense of scale or reality might be useful.

There's plenty of scale and reality present.  It's acknowledged that it is in fact a game.
Perhaps you also need to realize that newtonian law of physics do not apply - 
Not all reactions are opposite, nor are they equal or proportional.  To expect otherwise is a fool's errand.

Shade declared War, our members accepted that as fact and as the current state, with all ramifications that come with it.  Honestly, it is not our first rodeo.  Wink
Shade may make overtures of some sort of peace, sure - part of the current state.
However, Peace can only come through trust.  And another part of the current state is - we cannot trust a word uttered.

Maybe the scale and reality will set in that Peace is Cheap, War is Expensive.  That's something Sir Bradley helped me realize almost 2 years past while still with Dark.  It's a lesson that seems to have left with me however, and did not stay.  It will be expensive in Time and in Resources.

There is no need to continue this conversation.  There is no need to further explain thoughts on the subject.  There is no need to explain the current or future states.  Now I can introduce you to a lasting idea... silence.

KP have you never shared an IGM with your alliance?

For that matter, why is the matter being taken to the forums?
