Peaceful Illy Group (PIG)

Being absent I have missed many episodes around here, but in my brief spare time I think that I should adress this :

Rill wrote: In my experience of PIG, Kumomoto spent most of his time complaining about horribly he was treated in the last war -- in spite of the fact that he and his alt both emerged with 10 cities intact.

So what .?. Being able to successfully defend what is yours is suddenly a sin or failing to reduce someone to dust suddenly erazes the said effort .?.

Since NC were hounded out of the game and the VAST majority of them lost most of their (meaning 9 out of 10 for you less minded folks), cities, then let's see how it is fun and cool to make fun of their being wiped out... I don't think you read what I wrote?  Granted, I'm only understanding vague impressions of ideas from this, but I'm neither speaking for NC nor making fun of them.

My apologies. I misread it...

yes, i was discussing Beecks specifically because that is an account i know attempted to withdraw from the war and was denied the privilege in contraversion of what Capricorne gave as the more general situation. it therefore makes a good example of the sort of situation in which the PIG experiment might/might've had an impact.

Mahaut, while I think a few people are tossing about personal bitterness, there are more people on this thread who are having a mostly constructive dialogue. Every thread on the topic of war is going to draw out some vitriol. Since there is no way to filter threads, we just have to carry on and attempt to ignore the distractions and discuss the ideas of merit.

Those are exactly the sorts of details that PiG's representatives were meant to sort out and formally record.

I would point out that Illyriad is a long-running game. There are many players who were active in past years, with fully built accounts. Perhaps their lives are busier now. Many such players only return for tournaments, where they are a valued part of their alliance team. I don't feel that they have lesser rights than currently super-active players, just because they only find time to log in twice a month and say hello.
