A lot of wars fought are about resources, yet a lot of reasons for the wars are lies and said to be about diplomatic relationship or hostility by the other party,  This happens in real life and in illyriad. There is now a war brewing and both parties should accept that these attacks by RHY were on purpose, by an effort to secure a monopoly. 

I can sympathize with Rhy for wanting to lock-down resources for their own gain, it's happened with many minerals in illyriad thus far but they should also have been prepared to continue with their advances should the PR in the forums be not so well received.

i know where those IGM's went. .   we sent them to your friends and relatives, in a concerned effort to have you committed!  "throwing pearls at swine?" if by pearls do you mean. .  sending poultry recipe's as an official response, while our diplomats are trying in vain to diffuse an ever escalating conflict? those aren't pearls dear.  that's called bull. . . t! 

i personally believe, that the RHY alliance has some of the best diplomats in this game. RHY has always managed to resolve its disputes, and always they were resolved peacefully. 

Perhaps Skb should remind themselves of that fact and Buridan should retract what he said about RHY's policy towards securing resources. 

i ask you,  if RHY was so aggressive, why is it that all the disputes RHY and skb had in the past were resolved peacefully and whatsmore, resolved in Skb's favour? there is a reason why SkB controls every single mineral resource in the RHY occupied keppen/tor-carrock region. 

has Skb forgotten that myself and other members of RHY bent over backwards in a futile effort to reach a compromise and share resources with your members? you should be ashamed of saying what you said and it would show great courage by you to admit that in this forum. 

The crux of this matter is that for far too long the absa alliance has been throwing its weight around. completely indifferent and confident when bullying non-consone members, simply because they know that "Big-brother" has their back if their actions ever got them into trouble. 

i believe that this widespread culture of bullying, is simply wrong. as do many other's who were wronged by this alliance. and im pleased that now, FINALLY an alliance with a backbone has decided to call you out for doing it.  

Some would like to paint RHY with that same brush. some would like to call RHY bullies and warmongerers. what i would say to those people is this. . . RHY has had powerful and long standing confederations too, with some of the most powerful and respectable alliances there is. and it would have been only too easy for RHY to abuse that. yet in two years of my playing this game, this is the first time we have ever had to resolve to military action to resolve a dispute.  

RHY is no bully.  and anyone who says otherwise is just talking S..T!

Isn't it the custom of Mutual Defense Pacts to support a member when attacked?

RHY has declared WAR on a Consone and NO Consone reciprocates?

Wacko

No, not always.  Look to STEEL V ~NC~, you will see that their confeds did not step in.

Consone is not an entity as far as the system is concerned.  I cannot declare war on Consone via the system, nor can I declare war on Crowfed, or ~N~Fed.  These only have meaning to us.

Of coarse, if other parties interested would rather see further escalation, that is their business too.
Certainly that would show who's who in the scheme of things.

Certainly this may become interesting to say the least.

The straight-forward reading of the situation is that you're besieging the cities of several people for no other reason than that people in their alliance quite reasonably intervened to defend their confeds from you attempts to camp a mine you had no claim to. If you were actually much bigger than Absa, then the term bully would apply. As it is, there are better terms. Aggressor, maybe?

Of course, the most straight-forward readings in Illy are usually wrong, so it's quite possible that you have some other purpose. I'll admit, though, that without getting into unfounded conspiracy theories, I can't see what it is.

Maybe the truth is even simpler. Maybe you just want to steal some cities. Who knows.

But your claims to be defending Illy are pretty laughable.

Support and War are not the same thing.

I can't speak for any of the bigger alliances in Consone, but I absolutely support Absa. They are the victims of aggression, and they are our confeds - no question we're going to support them.

But declaring war just escalates the situation. And I fail to see that escalating this pointless conflict helps anyone.

This is the first time I can remember Rhy using force for anything. I think calling them warmongers is a bit strong and I think a few posters here are forgetting their peaceful and diplomatic past. From what I have read it seems to me that the most recent event is merely the straw that broke the camels back, there have been other issues in the past and the frustration they feel has accumulated. I can understand that, we can all be pushed there at some point. What I'm not sure of is if Absa should be their target or SkB.

Good luck to both sides!

Again i will ask for peace to be brokered between theses two noble alliances. A cessation of hostilities will ensure the mud slinging can stop, and perhaps a return to peace, If Rhyagelle does not want my participation perhaps they can suggest their own candidate! We, Illyriad, wait upon your generosity
Sincerely HATHALDIR
