We have always had a bad feeling about this war, having been privy to rumours that Harmless were mobilising. We held our hand, because although we had a confed with PA we felt that this war could get ugly, very ugly. 

And our suspicions have been proven, after all- although we didn't expect it to get this big. The slaughter has begun.

But here we go from the attitude universally held by the Cave, which that this war is a slaughter and we want no part of it, to one held by me- which is that this war is more of a clash of personalities. The leaders of the main alliances (speaking mostly of Lorre, Amroth, Azreil and H?s leadership, not Curse and a little bit Dlords, WoT and mCrow) are dragging their alliances into wars that are more personal than anything else. Plus, members of the Coalition. Ask yourselves, do you really like the fact that Valar are being swarmed so comprehensively they don't stand a chance? I know I don't.

However, I'm not naive enough to presume that peace will happen and everyone will live together in happy harmony. Not gonna happen. So, we need to end the feud, but the diplomatic approach isn't working (probably won't work in the future either). I'll list the possible paths that we can take,  and my opinion on them.

• The coalition can crush VALAR to death. That is possibly the worst idea, for obvious reasons.
• The coalition can take out just Valar's leaders. Again, do we really want players wiped from Illy? Plus, it sets a precedent, and the remainders of Valar will be bitter (I would be  Illy should not become Evony.
• We can negotiate peace. Not gonna happen, it seems.
• VALAR can surrender. Not going to even bother commenting on this.

So, it seems that the Valar's leaders should get taken out. Is there really no alternative?

Yes, there is.

Each alliance can pick a player, and that player represents them. The players fights a representative from Valar of the same weight group as them, so it's a fair fight and won't drive people out of the game. A few suggestions:

KillerPoodle vs Boromir

Roller+Spirit vs Iduno

Lorre vs Tigre

Manannan vs perperas

And so on. The fight could either be a full on fight, or it could be fights on one of the Battle Sites.... 

It's not up to me. I'm only here to offer an alternative.
