Rhyagelle Responds To Absaroke Aggression

That's perfectly fair.

First, Consone is a huge, sprawling mess of individuals. To say that all of them are angelic is obviously false - they are diverse individuals. Personally, I've had headaches with individuals in Consone - and I'm in a confed with them! It's absurd to say that everyone in H? is the same - KP is not SunStorm (as far as I  can tell!) and there are scores of people in H? If that's true of H?, it's even more an issue with something as large as Consone.

Second, Consone has so far - as far as I'm aware - utterly failed to live up to its mission of standing up to aggression. Totally failed to stand alongside Steel, for example.

But that's not what we're talking about.

Nobody's saying "Consone should always be trusted". (Personal opinion: I don't entirely trust anyone.)

What I'm saying is "blatant aggression is bad for everyone, and morality and justice are important parts of Illy." You don't have to trust everyone in every alliance in Consone to stand by that.

Please understand that in Illyriad there are siege engines. They are created in order to siege a town. Since losing towns is possible in Illyriad then all player's are expected to understand that they might lose his towns someday.

Maybe we all should make an agreement in the future, agreement not rule, only Devs can make rules, some alliances can declare them self as peaceful alliance so every one should not attack / siege their towns. However, in order to get this status, that alliance with all of their member is not allowed to do any hostile action to any one for any reason. They must stay out of any conflict no matter what happened. All hostile actions are including sending armies to hit other army / town (except in tournament), sending diplomatic missions to other's town, sending any kind of aid (soldiers, diplo units, resources) to any towns / alliances that are in conflict. Once this peaceful alliance break this rule, it lose it's status as peaceful alliance.

It is not fair if an alliance do hostile action to other alliance but when the other alliance strike back, they say "Hey, we are a peaceful alliance. You can't attack me"

Look, I am here not to defend Rhy/Harmless. I post very little in the past and post a lot now because I feel some people try dictate what you can do and what you can't do in this game. We can do anything that is allowed by game rule, only face the consequence.

For example, someone may send thieves to any town he want, go ahead, game mechanism allow that. But if the victim know he is the thieve, face consequence. If the victim react by sieging one of his towns, the thieve can not say it's too much. How if he never get caught?

Dear Mr Dragon, please see post a bazillion pages back about having a collection of knives in real life, but not saying "I have knives, therefore the purpose of life is to / it is fine to stab people". Please see reply to KP where he said "but the game gives you catapults" where I pointed out that as an individual you are free to decide what you do with them. Please... oh, whatever, this is a waste of my life.

Bottom line, you want to attack people. What we are about to find out here in Illy is whether the players intend to stop you.
