Topic: TRO accepts Terms of Surrender
Posted By: Fromfrak
Subject: TRO accepts Terms of Surrender
Date Posted: 18 Jul 2012 at 16:33
Agreed upon Terms of Surrender of TRO to TLR

1. 

A) A forum apology as written by Thordor detailing apologies for starting the war against TLR and spreading lies about TLR's (The Long Road's) actions during said war (such example includes that memnoch(TRO) was inactive when TLR routed by TLR when illy stats showed there was activity).

B) Include positive reinforcement about how TLR is to be respected as an alliance and acts with the best interests of its members. 

2. The payment of ten million gold in the amount of an escrow (NAP) to TLR (The Long Road) as led by Eternal Fire from TRO (The Red Order) as led by Thordor. 

3. To limit the threat that TRO presents to The Long Road by prohibiting all TRO cities of three thousand population and higher within 700 squares of the coordinate 610, 891 in diameter.

4. Either: 

A) The movement of Thordor via exodus to the region of Kumala, the limitation of all of Thordor's cities to the population of ten thousand population (cities currently over this limitation would be demolished down to meet limitation); or

B) The payment of five million gold added into the ten million tribute escrow amounting to fifteen million. 

5. TRO awards a medal pre-designed by TLR at the cost of 120 prestige per medal maximum to five TLR/non TLR members approved by TLR to help illustrate the price defenders of a war carry everywhere.  TRO has up to 8 months starting on Mid July 2012 up to mid April 2013.

6. Should any of these terms be violated, The Long Road has the right, without prior notice, to eliminate any TRO member in violation. TRO acknowledges it is their responsibility to ensure that their member base upholds all the terms of this surrender and if a member is not notified of said ToS and violates a term it is the fault of TRO and TLR is not responsible for the damages that may ensue.

I Thordor the Excellent, Supreme Chancellor of The Red Order hereby agree to the terms laid out by the honourable "TLR" (The Long Road).

The war was started because I made an error in judgement. I allowed personal feelings to cloud good judgement and engaged TLR in an unfair, and unjust war that was not called for, and for that I apologize. I will also say that TLR defended their members with an excellent show of strength and courage, and in the end, The Red Order was outmatched. 

I will follow the terms to the best of my ability, and prepare to send out 15 million gold, as directed by item 2, and item 4 (b).

Congratulations to TLR for their victory.

Not to ruin the celebrations, but don't you think reaching into someone's pocket is crossing a line? I mean, that's actual money beyond the daily bonus.

Agree. asking for prestige does leve an strange felling... Is this one of the dangers that The Human Dude warned us about the Prestige alliance? Evil, Evil elfs asking for prestige or nihilation? ( hey, im an Orc i interpet "reality" by Orc eyes! Is not my fault : P )

Well, if 20 TRO members contribute 1 prestige a day, the prestige for the medals will be raised in 43 days, including the cost of awarding them.

I believe that prest for a term of surrender sets a very dangerous and very serious precedent, prest should not be allowed for a surrender term.

demdigs, if they didnt want to accept the terms they had all the right not to, and as such, you have no right to try and decide this :)

Dem, if this is what they agreed to, I don't think we should interfere. But I do agree on the dangers of prestige being involved in surrender terms. I think that in general it is a bad idea, should be avoided, and can not be forced on the surrendering party.

I do have to agree asking for real $$ in a surrender should not be started its a dangerous slope that imo could ruin the game.

asking for very high demands could potentionaly make them refuse the deal, and in so let the winners continue having fun and the losers getting their asses get kicked :)

Terms accepted, what's the problem? If you don't like the Prestige thing, don't do it.

Five players contribute 1 "free" Prestige point per day for six months for a total of (6X30X5=) 900. No dollars, pounds, sheckles or whatever. Plenty of Prestige to go around AND complete he terms.

I do not know where this "War" originated...bad manners, hurt feelings, I don't know but it was declared and engaged by one side before the other, a clear set of events. 

The naysayers are expected and predictable. There is no circumstance in which an alliance that wishes to be taken seriously can "roll over" and expect to prosper. We defended ourselves first and then took the fight to the enemy. Show me an alliance that doesn't do that and I will show you a "dead" alliance.

I think it's best to let this matter rest, if I wasn't ok with this I wouldn't have agreed, it's as simple as that, this is between T.R.O and TLR, and I'd very much like this whole situation to simply be put to rest. :)

My kudos to Thordor for your maturity and humility.

Your gracious surrender portrays you as much as a winner as TLR imo.

Congrats to TLR for their win, and kudos to Thordor for his humility in apologising. It takes a big man to say sorry Smile

But let it be known that if anyone ever expects me to cough up pres in defeat, it will never happen - a. because I don't anticipate being defeated for something that entails me saying sorry, &
b. because I'm a miser who won't surrender RL money as part of any surrender

i agree. 
never. i say NEVER will i ever support such preposterous claims, as demanding prestige from a defeated warrior. ( who will need all prestige possible to rebuild).
shame on the greed of the victors, and shame on their lack of honor.

The War happened, it was fought, and now it's over. As with any War, there was a winner and a loser. We posted the terms of surrender to allow the community a peek into the resolution. The terms are what were accepted by the parties involved, and our honor remains intact. To those that would do it different, then do it differently when you resolve your own war. We never claimed to be role models and have not asked anyone to follow our example. We did it our way, you do it yours.

We have the utmost respect for TRO and Thordor for being part of the resolution, as peace would  not have happened without their participation in the peace process.

Congratulation to TLR,
I seem to recall that Thordor called me a warmonger in GC, it is apparent that this surrender would prove that as unfounded as he picked another fight he could not win, which was caused by another error in judgement. 

Looks like the better alliance won, congrats to TLR.

I don't ever remember calling you a war monger, Malek, I have nothing but the upmost respect for the alliance Amt.

No wonder you get yourself into trouble, you make statements then conveniently forget what you say. Let me refresh your memory
8/5/2012 23:56ThordorBut I still don't think it justifies a player with over 100,000 population from a 'peaceful' alliance attacking a player with only 8,000 population. You're a known warmonger.
From the look of that your previous comment was complete joke. Even then you couldnt answer why i was a warmonger, maybe you could make something up now if you like. 

The fact that you conveniently overlooked, was that it was ok for a 8000 pop player to attack a 700 pop player mercilessly then lie in GC that they were being attacked for no reason. Not only did you believe them you acted on it, in a rash manner making an error in judgement which in your own words you admitted that you do. 

Either way I dont care. If you have a problem with it, grow your cities again then come and find me, you wanted a war monger now you got one.

What crawled up your arse and died? This thread is about the TLR vs T.R.O terms of surrender, if you've got a problem with me then by all means send me an IGM and talk to me about it, don't attempt to slate me over the Forums. Yes, I've made mistakes, I'll admit that, I've jumped the gun more then once and I regret them choices, but I've learned from them and I won't be making that mistake again.

"grow your cities again then come and find me, you wanted a war monger now you got one. "

Even if I did call you a war monger it would seem I was right. How pathetic.

I think Malek was just reminding you of what you had said, as you had obviously forgotten. As to pathetic "What crawled up your arse and died?" pot calling the kettle black there I think.

On the subject of this thread. How TLR and TRO settle their dispute is entirely up to them and none of my, or anyone elses, business. But if someone else demanded MY money so they could play THEIR game, they'd have to come round to my house and prise it from my grubby little fingers. :D

Since the point of this thread has been produced and dealt with I think locking it would reduce the bileful comments that flows in the wake of the conflict.


Posted By: Thordor
Date Posted: 20 Jul 2012 at 14:45
I agree with Tordenkaffen. And Hyo, yeah he just caught me off guard. Malek, if I've offended you in some way, let's talk about it over IGM, failing that if you don't want anything to do with me, I'll be more then happy to live with that. 

It wasn't my intention to offend. (Except my last post, that was intended to offend a little). I thought I was doing the right thing protecting a new player, and others had said you where a known war monger, that's why I chose those words. (I won't give names, no that doesn't mean I'm lying, it means I don't want to drop other people in it).

As I said, I've made mistakes, I accept that and I'm sorry for them, but I've learned from them. Can you honestly say you've never made mistakes?


Posted By: Malek
Date Posted: 20 Jul 2012 at 14:51
TRO agreed to the terms, that is their decision. They would have been worked out long before it ended up in the forums and a while before the peace was agreed upon. 

Personally I would not have had the prestige part as part of the reparations but it was not my war, nor my negotiation and both parties agreed to it. As posted earlier I do not think this would set a precedent in the game either, as there are other means to settle conflicts available to the affected parties.   Each conflict is unique and will produce unique outcomes. 

But hey, this is a war game and CensoredCensoreds$%t happens.
