RE Stance...

Guess you'd have to ask Consone members if that's true or not.  Although many of them are probably fighting this war to stop the bullying I guess.

Any player can say whatever they want without having to fear retribution...and if you have to turn into a bully to fight the bullies then you're no better than them and we all lose.

this would seem to be just the point. RE speaks its mind after making peace, they are advised they are in danger of restarting the conflict. when H? brought out EE's agreement to end the Consone conflict as justification for declaring war, they were criticised for resurrecting ancient history. Kilotov leaves because old grudges are never forgiven. are alliances granted peace, or eternal probation?

it was a rhetorical question. i think everyone is capable of examining their own role in the process and how they feel about it.

it is, as i have mentioned, a public forum. some posts may not be addressed specifically to you. in fact, i mostly use igm for that.

Tath,

Seriously, you don't seem to comprehend the BASIC mechanics of the game.
Our (as in Dlord) population and city count has very little to do with what you have sieged. Really, do I need to break it down for you. Apparently I do, so here you go...

Watch what happens with a player is kicked from Dlords, or after being inactive - disappears (and having 8 to 10 cities no less ... *gasp!!  You guessed it - reduction without a single city sieged.  Dlord has had some accounts we got rid of after the war started, and some disappeared. Not because you presume yourself to be 'that' that good.. LOL.

Pop drops, cities and land claims do as well when players get booted, or removed. All of your alliances together have not even come close to razing 100 Dlord towns.

And as for city losses. Some of those losses are simply strategic for various reasons, but then you seem love presuming things you you seem to have little to no knowledge of.

Am I being somewhat obtuse and crass with you? Yes, cause I personally find your attitude more insolent than courteous. If you want to keep bashing on someone - HERE WE ARE! Just leave the ones who surrendered alone. If you desire to brag and boast - do it after the war. Till then it is all up in the air.

Again, keep your spin and just play the game.

Rill,

I think you missed my point entirely. I stated that it doesn't matter what side of the war you are on.. and proceeded from there to iterate why.
