VALAR has remained pretty much silent publicly about the H? - Consone war. I now declare our support for Consone: we will act in support of Consone. I am not going to attempt to argue why here because I do not wish to spawn another 50 pages of point – counter point – obfuscation etc(1) - although I appreciate it may happen anyway (2). I do not say H? are the unrelentingly evil overlords of Illyriad just that they are wrong (again  ); we have many we consider friends among Consone and few among H?; we prefer Jasche's interpretation of events and his efforts at reaching a settlement and we have of course had our own experience of H? in the past.H? I salute you – and commend the merits of discussion with Consone to end this matter sooner rather than later! (1) Anyone familiar with dual of wits in Burning Wheel (RPG) may think that mechanic there would nicely model a Illyriad forum debate. (2) More peanuts anyone?

A declaration of support? and what would that mean you are going to support Consone's military action or you are going to stand on the sidelines cheering loudly for Consone, give me a C....Gooooo...well you get it.

I have highlighted the one and only meaningful phrase in this "declaration" as the rest of it appears to be a disclaimer of responsibilty for the possible 50 pages of posts that such a declaration will generate.
The game of Illyriad is bigger than the ego's of any individual or alliance that participates in it. Most will agree that it's mechanics offer more possibilties, ingenuity and en joyment than many other browser games of its type. All that is of course with thanks to the team that has developed the game adapting it to keep it an exciting experience for all ages.
The other major feature of Illyriad is it's community. It has an enthusiasm and energy to participate, not just in the game itself but in it's improvement, that I think is unrivalled. Illyriad's community has proved to be wonderfully innovative and fertile base for fresh ideas and expressions.
I fear that this particular war, more than it's predecessors , is starting to undermine that enthusiam and energy. I think I am not the only that feels this way.
I hope that this declaration does not lead to further bitterness and prolong matters. The sooner that this war is settled and out of the way, The better for all.

I consider Valar to be good neighbors. We may be on opposite sides of this conflict but I will congratulate them on any well fought battles and I hope to be good neighbors again when the smoke clears. |

I suggest THE FINAL TOURNAMENT When you enter the game choose a side, red or blue or green Then when you go to the illy strategic map the red, green, blue will correspond perfectly :D PS. I in no way actually support that^^ if you like peace be neutral. If you like war join up, just make sure you choose the right side :D

If you think about it - the fact that a former enemy would feel comfortable enough to declare support on the opposite side of H? again and risk being in conflict with us just goes to show that all the people blathering on about destruction of accounts and alliances are talking out of their rear ends (RMY and Mandarins - I'm looking at you :) )

| Well said gameplayer..this is a game..a war game..let's have fun with it! And when the smoke clears, and it will despite what all the GC harpies might want new players to believe, we can once again go back to friends. In the meantime...let's roll.... |

I love how people are worried that a war game is going to be come undone because of a war. Yawn. ------------- It's beyond fairytale, it's inconceivable! |

Agreed. Anyone who doesn't want their cities to fall has had multiple opportunities to stay out of it. There are plenty of neutral, peaceful alliances still thriving in Illyriad. Why people are acting like Illy is going to transform into a cutthroat MMO because of this war is beyond me. Not to mention all the original conflict members has several chances to cut their losses and prevent escalation, and in every instance they chose escalation. Not one alliance involved in this war can stay they were completely opposed to it. ------------- http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/a/p/157483" rel="nofollow">

wont happen, unlike in those games the risk of being at war is much much higher unlike in those games, also being limited to 10 towns you cant expand. and Newb ganking wont ever be a problem since any big player gains NOTHING from doing it except maybe if they enjoy it. -------------
