Rhyagelle Responds To Absaroke Aggression

I have no wish to 'come get you' Ander.

Simply stated you started a war with RHY, you both called in your friends (one before the other).
To date it has not fared well for you.

Call me when a H? siege destroys your city.

Or yell at VIC as to why RHY's friends are more able than yours. Either Or.

We did?!?

Mate, seriously. You hit RHY first lad. Remember that.

Harmless are basically doing a better job of reinforcing RHY sieges than VIC is of breaking them.

Look to your actions perhaps mate. And those of your ally. It may help.

I'm nothing to do with H? or Consone or Absa or Dlords or anyone else in this sorry mess)...
And yes I am anonymous on here, initially that was by mistake, but I have come to see that speaking ones mind freely isn't a safe thing to do and I have no wish to see catapaults lurching into my back yard. So I'm staying anonymous and if that means someone feels obliged to call me a coward then so be it - my self preservation and maturity quotient is sufficiently high to take silly schoolyard insults without any problems. Still means I have a right to an opinion though.....

Why can't H? just admit they were spoiling for a fight over any old excuse that came to hand and cease the ridiculous self justifications which fool absolutely no-one?
Personally I would have a great deal more respect for them if they did.
H? states on just about every occasion (and its certainly on their alliance profile) that they don't attack small players who haven't participated in attacks against them or sent aid etc, and yet we see one or two player writing above or mentioned above who clearly weren't involved and yet are being attacked.

H? declared war on Vic and Absa.......... not the other way round.............
whilst the people in Vic and Absa were under the (obviously erroneous) impression that they were in the middle of negotiating a peace and had began to withdraw their siege breakers...(not their offensive on other cities you notice - as they DIDN'T have anything threatening anyone cities)....
So no more twaddle about who is the aggressor and who isn't please. Its difficult to put "spin" on the blindingly obvious and fails on several levels.

I can completely understand an alliance wishing to retain their top dog status and feeling threatened by a meta confederation the size of Consone.... that's all the justification you need guys, stop making stuff up and just get on with it, this playing to the gallery is completely unnecessary. You want to fool yourselves feel free, but don't insult the intelligence of the rest of us.

However, for me personally and for my friends, this is no longer the case. If the ‘game’ will always involve the biggest alliance maintaining its power and crushing anyone for any reason that it sees as a threat to its supremacy (even when those players explain that they have no intention to cause any threat) then the game would soon lose its attraction to anyone but the most aggressive of players. Having invested time, energy and funds into this game, together with my friends, I refuse to roll over in the face of what we do not agree with. We will defend our cities with every last drop of blood we can find. We will always be open to listen to peace suggestions but in the absence of any communication in regard to this we will give no quarter in defense of our cities and what we believe in.

This post , I think, sums up what is wrong with the outdated approach of H?'s leadership to the game of Illyriad as well the effects that their current style of play will have for the future enjoyment of the game for those who love it.  I hope that the more sensible members of H? will start to apply the brakes on their leadership before they ruin the game completely
