So Lorre and AA have been plotting to attack Valar for all this time? Illy is being turned upside down by two of the worst war-mongers the game has ever seen. Will H? be dragged down to their level and defend their actions? Will the rest of Illy sit idle and watch this happen? |

I am sure we will see Lorre and AA deem their war against Valar as a conquest against the evil plaguing illyriad and it is the job of all illyriad lover to vanquish evildoers and warmongers Hopefully if it comes to that we can all step back and think over our own thoughts on the matter, instead of hearing each opposite side yelling "My side is justified" ------------- Patience is a virtue, resource giving is a sin |

You are mistaken sir in you accusations and your knowledge of events. I have attempted to reason respectfully with azreil for many months as to some of his more irresponsible actions as the leader of a major alliance in Illy. You call me war monger yet only Valar have attacked us with no declaration. I have offered azreil the chance to meet me in single combat, even when things went south as to our relations. He would not do this, even when I asked for a fair equal fight. Yet he can send troops to smite my forces without the fear of being called warmonger. So be it. I hope the rest of the Valar are more informed as to the true nature of events of late. When Valar attacked and I thought we would be at war, I offered to step down as leader rather then see my alliance beat to pieces. Azreil has sent a message of a different sort to me now. This is the quality of the Lord you all serve there. If it is just Champions and PA who have a problem with Azreil and his ineffective and misguided policies then we will surely be smashed quickly by an alliance many times our size, yet we will do what we feel is right, For ourselves and Illyriad as a community. I am a servant of the meek and a steward of the humble. I have never claimed more then this. May the powers uphold the just. Respects, Amroth

Kurfist Vallar did not declare war. Sure Lorre and AA have opinions, but there opinions are attention seeking stunts. Look at the last post's in Politics and Diplomacy and the bitter sea.... Many have to do with Lorre and AA, they are constantly causing trouble.... Manannan.. Of course we are not scared.... :D Just thought I'de make the thread because this is what people want to talk about. |

Squill, you dont half have a biased agenda. Seriously? Its all well and good having an opinion and expressing your doubts or questions, but when it's in the form of RAWR WAR MONGERS AND LIARS RAWR an argument becomes null and void. Please re-evaluate what exactly you wish to achieve/contribute to this situation.

Re-edited my comment. Edit: Is this really going to turn into another excuse for a few alliances to war with valar or H? "although valar is being described as the evil doers so people will try to gang up on them to justify their attacks". Haven't anyone figured out that everyone has their own agenda, most of the people that seem to love H? or Valar or Champs or whatever secretly want them to fall because they dislike them for whatever reasons. At this point in time in Illyriad you cant war with someone unless you have a good feeling that your party will be looked as the cleansing sword that kills the current evil in the bodies of the mistaken in Illy,. by AA's comments, Valar is evil and defeating their leader/ alliance is for the good of the community, this is called propaganda people. ------------- Patience is a virtue, resource giving is a sin |

I'm sure the ranting is all good fun but... can someone please explain *why* this has happened - without calling people warmongers or otherwise throwing insults around? I'm aware that Lorre a while ago decided that Valar were all evil and deserved to be vilified - basically because Valar didn't throw duQ to the wolves (or to Lorre's cronies) when duQ behaved like an *rse. (And lets be honest - duQ did behave like an *rse, which is why the Valar eventually threw him out. Interestingly, Valar had another player behave like a jerk about the same time, and threw him out immediately - presumably the fact that never became a public issue made it easier to deal with?) I'm equally aware that a lot of Valar are now denouncing Lorre as a warmonger, and assuming that everything that doesn't go the way Valar want is part of some big plot by the "evil" Lorre, or by H?. I see no evidence that Lorre is evil - I got the feeling that he was an idealist who got carried away (duQ behaved like a jerk, Lorre wanted a righteous crusade and so started to stir up trouble - good intentions, but little tact or thought). And as far as I'm aware this has nothing to do with H? I'm also aware that a while ago one of PA leaders had a bash at the Valar, and the Valar launched a series of retaliations to make it clear that was a bad idea. No sieges, nothing extreme, and I thought that had all blown over. (I don't believe this has all come about because someone in PA had his ego bruised? That sounds too petty.) I'm also aware that the Valar recently took in a refugee of, shall we say, "low repute" - Spirit/Roller. I have no idea why people Spirit/Roller has a bad rep - it's just a few comments I've picked up. Presumably he has annoyed people in the past, but no-one has ever explained this to me how/why. So, I know there's a lot I don't understand. And rather than start to call people names, can I therefore just say: Please. Can someone explain all this in a sane and level-headed way? ------------- "A boy is building sandcastles on a beach. You go and kick down his castle.

No I admit Lorre is not evil, Lord of the Swamp, but even you have to admit she has gone too far wwith the things she has said and done... As for Roller and Spirit this has nothing to do with them, sure there were rummours about the whole alt thing, but those turned out to be untrue by Brids. As for H? helping Lorre? I doubt Lorre and AA would attack Valar alone.... This is Lorre's and AA's crusaude against Valar. For whaterver reason they have (and I am sure they will try to justify it) it is an attack against Valr, whom is not the agresor. |

spirit/roller was in skull&bones he send a siege at me when the counters came he fled to curse, curse was actually throwing it on an accord with us to just let his preatorians to be destroyed instead of losing everything we agreed but then he fled to valar so thats the thing of spirit/roller. the attack on rainstorm was because he razed a city of spirit just when he enterd valar. so thats bassicly it. ------------- The battlefield is a scene of constant chaos.

AFAIK: Azreil decided to admit Spirit/Roller. He then told the alliance Spirit/Roller was being attacked - by Curse, not by PA. Az then asked the alliance to break the sieges against Spirit/Roller. Maybe Spirit/Roller wasn't honest with Az about his relationships; maybe Az didn't tell the alliance; maybe you started attacking him later that you're now saying; maybe, maybe, maybe. Who knows? I don't. But if someone sieges a member of my allaince, then it is my business.
Errr.... if I had a beef with someone, and he went and took refuge in a big alliance, I might be inclined to think "hang on, this changes things, I'd better reconsider...." ------------- "A boy is building sandcastles on a beach.

No - don't "get revenge"! What this translates as in: Me: "Err, personally I think you should take account of changing situations" Lorre: "No - for I am righteous! Rah!" That's the whole problem. Someone gets on a high horse, thinks right is on his side, and then charges in crassly, dragging loads of people into a war with him. Saying "get revenge!" is not helpful - that just makes it worse! ------------- "A boy is building sandcastles on a beach. You go and kick down his castle.

wow, how the crap flies here. OK Listen up sweethearts this is my last post here. already more then a little disgusted. Squill, Is is better to remain silent, and allow all to believe you are a fool then to open your mouth, and remove all doubt. The rest of you. I am continually amazed by the juveniles here who deem themselves wits....please....
To clarify, Azreil began this when he ordered attacks to Champions forces without cause or declaration. This is the treacherous act of a coward. Lorre and PA back us in this action because they believe what we stand for. so many smart comments here but what positions have you taken save to laugh from the fence....Kurfist...i don't know why you bother, You have been shown the door yet the voice remains...self gratification I suppose. I do appreciate any who spoke here in sincere interest to see anything good come of this. There is good and bad. These are not abstract concepts..these are the basis for any community. We the Eternal Champions will stand for what we believe to be right. If we fall, so be it, but no excuses. We will not cry, nor did we when Valar 5times larger attacked. We retreated to regroup and offer a response. The fact that Azreil thought it was over tells me he would not have the stones to stand as I have here. Otherwise he should not be surprised should he. Except now the situation looks to him reversed. All Illy rises against poor Valar....what a sod. This is who Valar serve...(shakes head) Thus far only Champs and PA have sent attacks that I am aware. I offered him the chance to settle this before just him and me. A fair fight in country with no hard feelings and to decide the matter only...no siege, no blast players out of illy....a simple contest of honor to decide the issue. The record is clear. He would not asceed to my challenge. where the honor in this? rightfully should he be named craven and coward. This has left me few options. We do reserve the right to defend ourselves and defend our sovereignty. This is done now. So much for the mob voice. I was taught that you stand for something or you fall for anything. We, The Eternal Champions, stand as servants to the meek and stewards of the humble. I have never said more then this, at any time. So to all who would wade into this..pick a side and stick to your beliefs...and if ya ain't got the stones for either...shut up and get outta the way. I have a war to fight, and I am surely done with this forum topic. Good day |

There are indeed some warmongering folks here in Illy and yet their accounts survive over others just because they are on the "right" side here. There is nothing wrong with ppl helping newbs, this practice should be adopted by every experienced player also and like I said before I'll do anything in my power to uphold this, because I haven't seen this in any other MMO, even thou I haven't played that many. Back to our subject on hand, heaven forbids that you would support the wrong player/alliance around here, because then you would be doomed. The group that is in control must do everything necessary to retain that power, this is just as old as the first human community. The new players are allowed to develop themselves here compared to other games, but only to the point where they start questioning the dominating force at which point the "just war" can begin without any questions asked. I haven't been around for the famous White-H? war, but all the subsequent wars (that I've seen since May and onwards) were just facades playing around. Just like the way PA-Champs are playing right now. No one in their right mind can think that these 2 alliances declared war just for kicks against a such larger alliance. These 2 are just facades and the real battles are to be seen behind the scenes and hopefully in the "Military Herald" Anyways, hope that many of you will loose some pop

I'm a player of this game and have been for over a year, regardless what you think of me I'm allowed to voice my thoughts on current events even if you don't agree with them, concerning this sentence "I offered him the chance to settle this before just him and me. A fair fight in country" You have the population of 131,019, Azreil has the population of 96,648, that is a difference of 34,371. Sounds fair with you leading by over thirty thousand population. " He would not asceed to my challenge. where the honor in this? rightfully should he be named craven and coward" Maybe he could subtract? "We will not cry, nor did we when Valar 5times larger attacked." How very mature of you, finding someone who does not beg to global for reinforcement aid is very rare these days, kudos. I find this sentence " The rest of you. I am continually amazed by the juveniles here who deem themselves wits....please...." somewhat conflicts with this one "Except now the situation looks to him reversed. All Illy rises against poor Valar....what a sod. This is who Valar serve.." Insulting someone because he/she is offering her thoughts, sounds juvenile, that is I'm assuming you are referring to a comment made here in the forums, but maybe not. Lastly, "We, The Eternal Champions, stand as servants to the meek and stewards of the humble." We have heard this so many times, is this like your motto? Why do you feel the need to keep advertising your aiding the meek and humble? Do you feel the need to impress the global community at large with your seemingly righteous ways? Thats all I have to say for now. ------------- Patience is a virtue, resource giving is a sin |

This particular passage shows the true nature of AmrothAnguireal. It has everything , the arrogance, the self centred nature and the contempt he has for the community's opinion. I think everyone really knows what lies behind this and a series of previous actions involving both Lorre and AA - together and separately. What they really want - is to provoke a war between Valar on the one hand and H?/Dlord on the other. It's the same old pattern of creating an issue and then exaggerating it that we have seen used before. They attempt demonize Valar and Azreil in the hope that Belargyle or the H? board will commit their armies in an all out war against Valar. However most sensible veteran players like Kilo see right through this - simply because Valar are not villianous and cannot be compared to MK or TMM. Azreil cannot be compared to Tubana. You only need to read AA's phraseology above to see where the aggression is coming from here. This not the first time that we have seen this and I think it is high time that community stepped in NOT to declare war on Valar but to prevent it. Other alliances like Dlord, H? and others should step in to maintain the peace by laying down the law to AA and Lorre to behave themselves and conduct themselves in a peaceable way. Give them a chance to stand down just this once but punish them if they refuse. That way we can restore peace and make Illyriad a better game for all. |

LOL, at the conclusion to the _duQ incident was enough to provoke a response from H?. They ultimately at the end of the day will do what they want to. They are not the Illy police but I'm sure they'll lay down some law if they feel the need to whomever they feel is the bigger evil.  I still see no evidence of their involvement as yet despite Az's claim earlier so I guess I'll have to keep watching the military/siege page with interest.  So many conspiracy theories and paranoia flying around here that I feel the need to buy a massive fly swat to kill some of them. Or maybe I could bottle them and use them as lanterns....

I'm with Manannan on this. I do't see what this has to do with, for example, the Dwarven Lords! I kind of understand why people are looking for a conspiracy here - none of this situation makes any sense, and "it's a conspiracy" offers a neat solution. I'm really surprised that _duQ is still getting wheeled out as an excuse for this. Seriously, what's the reality of duQ? The guy acted like a jerk; H? did a superb (intelligent, measured, just) job of stepping in and blocking his aggression; he wouldn't accept that he had acted like a prat (annoying both his neighbours and alliance members without cause); so the Valar threw him out. End of. This has nothing to do with whatever the heck is happening now. The best people can do to explain or justify events is to say "oh, it's a conspiracy", or "duQ was a jerk, so the Valar are all evil", or "you punched me so I'm going to punch you harder", or "Lorre's a warmonger, so let us be avenged on him" (err, actually that's just another version of "he punched me, so I want to punch him back"). The whole thing makes no sense. ------------- "A boy is building sandcastles on a beach. You go and kick down his castle. You could say that it only reflects how you play with sandcastles.

There is one think I REALLY need to point out before I burst. This thread was started by squill I believe unless my memory has gone to goo at 3 am. You would think that as a member of 'the VALAR' he would be able to spell it correctly... Topic: PA and Champ declare war against Vallar Don't believe me...

Hello everyone, I'm sure all of you who are interested in this thread know who I am, I'd just like to point out that neither bec or I have heard anything about this situation until now. You may applaud AA for not seeking help from the global community, however often PoS has become involved in Valar disputes and sorted things out. Given that AA never contacted us about valars actions I highly doubt his claims that he tried to resolve things diplomatically and rather responded in a "hey you freaking #$$%^& fight me one on one" fashion

Oh Also from what I have read in this forum all I postly see is bias against valar. In terms of actual 'facts" which I say loosly as I haven't had time to verify is this war is about 2 issues 1. roller/spirit who has already lost a toatal of 4 cities by curse and surely has paid any dues he ows 2. attacks against rainstorm by valar which from what I hear were direct attacks that didn't destroy cities yet PA/champ and potentially H? wish to start an actual war that destroys cities?

_duQ was sieging Berberos. Someone from H? destroyed one siege and thought it was over. But _duQ was attacking again and again with siege engines. Lorre contacted Azreil and he did not get any response. Azreil came to GC and announced that he didnt reply to Lorre because he was not worth responding to. Lorre declared in GC that he was going all out against duQ. When many people started questioning his sanity, he posted a list of battle reports in GC which showed attacks on his reinforcements at Berbtown. If the battle reports were true (Valar hasn't denied that), Berberos would have been wiped out already without reinforcements from PA. If Valar had responded to people who were asking about Berberos, things would have been different. What would you expect people to do? To trust in the awesomeness of Valar leadership and stare on while a little player got sieged?
Later when someone started aggression against Lorre for their own reasons, Valar took that player in. That in my opinion is Valar going after Lorre, not the other way around. I am not in favour of this war. But if you have a problem with everyone, the solution lies probably within than outside. |

Ok just letting everyone know that I sent a PM to sunstorm pointing him to the last page where I posted this message.
I received this message an hour ago. Yes - just got in. I will go look at those now and respond Ander, that is a very naive way to look at the situation.
1. Roller/spirit attacked lorre, potentially because borg actually did come back to the game, and as we all know roller does know borg in RL. 2. As I said, roller/spirit has already lost 4 cities for his actions, Do you really think he deserves to be eradicated from the game?! |

what this war is about??? i have a clue. i explained my theory to my Ally... i just know one thing. there is no real reason to justify a "holy crusade" against Velar. they always moved in the grey area of morale, so i dont blame them for their politics. ------------- my words on this forum are from me alone.

Erik, I was not taking sides on borg/roller issue. I was just saying how it is wrong to say that Lorre is going after Valar when it is actually Valar who is going after him. I agree with you that it was a noble thing to protect a player from getting eradicated from the game. But how did Valar do that? Did they contact Lorre and try to negotiate on roller's behalf or did they just took him in and sought to stop Lorre by intimidation? Do you not see any difference in that? |

Yes, however if you go further back to borg saying that he's just come back to the game, maybe due to roller saying that the sitter is abusing his account, and lorre simply reply "nice try" and continuing to attack borg then suddenly roller is justified in attacking lorre. Secondly if PA had any interest at all in roller than they would HAVE to have known that curse was fighting with valar over rollers cities, they had plenty of time to contact curse and just join in an actual fair fight. Thirdly lorre and sunstorm both know that when trying to sort things out with valar you have to tread very carefully. However they also know that PoS tends to take a much more objective perspective and if you convince us then usually valar will take our advice. No one from PA bothered to contact PoS which would suggest that they actually want this war and pursuing a diplomatic resolution is the last thing on their minds.

The Dlords' circular has raised some questions that will intrigue and amuse the Illyriad Community as the ever crafty diplomacy within Dwarven Lords takes a new and astonishing turn: 1. Have the Dwarves invented gender reassignment? 2. High Queen Xaylia of Dlord is playing a crafty game? Is she winking at Azreil or Amroth. Answers on a postcard to: Lady Kilotovia of DokGthung

| Why do people keep looking for excuses to attack? It's clear Lorre and Amroth don't like Valar and want to attack them for a long time. At least I know Lorre does. This goes back to the time I was in PA myself. In my opinion they are just looking for Valar doing something they can call 'evil' and then claim they are the righteous. This game has no good or evil. You can't save the tigre or drive hunger out of the world and it's not possible to fight for equal rights for everyone. People can just attack, trade, or steal things in Illyriad. And offcourse no one is going to pick a fight they know they will lose. I hope Lorre is informing PA better then on the _Duq affair, because I was not well informed back then and was one of the leading roles in PA. I'm not sure what the reasons are this time for them to attack Valar, but I'm sure things could have been solved when both parties had tried to listen to eachother, instead of just talking. I don't care about Amroths motives. someone who is talking about honor all the time can't be taken serious as honor is gained through deeds, not words. If he feels need to explain why his deeds are honorable, people could ask themselves how honorable these deeds really are. Honor wouldn't need explanation. Maybe Valar did something that makes the actions of PA and chimps 'righteous' but they were waiting for an excuse for a long time. |

This is exactly what I said. You intimidate people into making choices rather than negotiating. Why get surprised when they come back for you with their friends? Erik, do you expect Lorre to contact PoS for mediation when Valar took in the person he was fighting with? Azreil publicly announced that Lorre was not worth responding to. What kind of a negotiation could he expect from Azreil? |

Put it this way Erik - Thirdly Azreil and Darkwords both know that when trying to sort things out with PA you have to tread very carefully. However they also know that RES/mCrow tends to take a much more objective perspective and if you convince them then usually Lorre will take their advice. No one from Valar bothered to contact TD/SF which would suggest that they actually want this war and pursuing a diplomatic resolution is the last thing on their minds. (?) Valar and PoS may not be the only people who takes their self esteem seriously. ** I used the names RES/mCrow just as instances, not talking for them or anyone in particular. |
