Phew

That's generally the impression I get as well.  Which makes me suspect they won't settle for anything less than the complete dismantling of Consone, one town at a time...

Of course, that also sounds like a lot of work, so maybe they'll just settle for some more strategic victories with regards to essential opponents or regions.

Like I mentioned in another thread, nobody knows what H?'s intentions are, so it leaves a lot of room for speculation.

I've been told that sometimes I use language that is inaccessibly dense, but I'm still not able to decode your inquiries.  Are you worried that it's not a fair fight?  Are you worried that weaker players are getting the business-end of siege weapons from stronger players?  If those sorts of match-ups are happening in the first place, it might be hard to remedy, since compromise on anything seems difficult at the moment.

I do get the last questions though, and I'm guessing the unanimous answer will be no.  From what I've read the what-nots and goings-on escalated to military-grade on October 1st, which is when the tourney started (and was at least posted on the tail-end of the previous day).  So if people didn't want a full fight, couldn't they have just done what you suggest via the tourney?  Or do you think people are reconsidering now?

I disagree. When the same thing happened one year ago I thought what you said now, that finding peace was all that mattered. Given that one year later the protagonists are the same, I think it is due that every attempt at clarification of what really happened is important. I also think that  it is good to hear both sides of a story is a widespread say accross the whole humanity you can find in pretty much any civilization at any time and even in fantasy worlds. Interestingly a number of players have posted in this thread against this, claiming that hearing one side should suffice. And not surprisingly they consider redudant the story told from the side they oppose to...

"No, we can see that a failed ATTACK was repelled by Deimos, who was already there (since the DEFENDER won) ... claiming to not know good English (while eloquently filling pages :p ) only gives you so much leeway for such "errors" ... ;) "
