Uhm, the place that it is meant to be discussed?
Sounds a bit one-sided to me. |
Well, you mean to tell me that you will just shout "we want peace", but won't even bother to even talk about it because you do not like to go to the H? embassy .?.
Sounds pretty weird to me ... it is not as if anyone is going to bite you for going there to talk :p

Why would peace *not* be discussed publically? Simple question which I honestly do not have a reasonable reply to. (I do understand the question, though.) |
I've never heard of public negotiations over any matter (except in "funny" hypocritical notions like the "open dialogue") ... even in RL, for the simpliest matter you go inside an office and close the door behind you and talk in privacy on the matter at hand.

I find it mildly curious that players want to engage in processes and protocols in order to supposedly end a war as though Illy mirrors RL. Let me remind any who want to hear and comprehend: this is not RL. The current disagreement between various parties could easily be settled if players would stop treating this as if it were RL, and treat it for what it is - a fun game, and an opportunity to engage constructively with others in a virtual community. If one party wants to declare peace, then I say, "More power to you, friends!" It seems to me that it is very difficult to continue a fight when you are the only party doing the fighting.
And for the record, I'm in no way involved in the present little stoush  |

Been reading about this war for what seems like forever right now. No goal for victory from either side. No condition for a cease fire. No conditions for peace. Just talks of peace, honor, alliance/confed bashing etc etc.
Hath is the only person I have seen trying to broker peace well before everyone went all out with the war. I commend him for that and to sticking to the line of peace, while fighting for the defence of his alliance and confed through out this entire period.

It seems to me that very few have in fact went all out in this war. The fact that it is going for quite sometime shows that no small amount of restraint is shown by both sides. If this was an all out war it would have been finished by now.

wars, in a war game do last a long time and yes several of us have an end game. if certain groups want out they can surrender and accept terms or they can switch sides to speed the end. back to making troops, weapons, and all the war stuff, gosh at this time we cant make plows!

In that regard how come and you do not find it curious how many people act as drama queens over a war in a game and sometimes behave as real knights are dying in the fields .?. :p
as for this, to continue my point :
| Hath is the only person I have seen trying to broker peace well before everyone went all out with the war. I commend him for that and to sticking to the line of peace, while fighting for the defence of his alliance and confed through out this entire period. |
Voila : http://forum.illyriad.co.uk/trash-consone_topic4326_page1.html
So, as far as I know, anyone that REALLY wants peace knows where to find H? leadership ... if you are so bored to even knock on a virtual door and say "hello we came to talk about peace", then stop crying crocodile tears over a war in a game.
Happy new year's eve ! :)

Not true. I'll grant you that "they" are generally more vocal but "we" are here and do pay attention.
