SIN War Declaration Against SHARK

first and to all. I came to heat to help prop up an old alliance with many inactive accts. we tried for while and then merge thought came to mind. as independant member of heat I asked around to some who are aware. they declined for thier own reasons and I wish all well. I chanced to speak with pellinell one day and I said heat was looking to merge and make an all active alliance at which point he caught me by surprise with a statement to similar effect. we parted company in the chat and few days passed. I contacted him and we began a formal negotiation as to a merger. when all was of satisfactory for both we made storm.

Storm is neutral with regards to all lasting nap and confed. we are well able to defend our interests even now and we are dedicated to this prospect. While we will not engage in this war does not mean we not engage in war. this is a war game. As madmano previously stated in this forum thread, when and if we go to war, it will be to serve the interests of our members liberty, prosperity, and a strategic advantage for the alliance as a group.

As to the present war. Storm has no interest in this issue as is pertains to us not at all. As an alliance we wish to engage all alliances with a congenial diplomacy and we are happy and quite willing to be of aid to all whom may have a need. all trading will be done through the market for the sake of transparancy.

As to the feelings of our members we encourage all to voice the feelings in a game of community. We do not expect all to feel the same way all the time. We enjoy the diversity of thought and direction. vibrant and enthusiastic. we do feel it good for the game. This is same in Storm. we are all met from different roads and backrounds different humors and style. we have undertaken to put forward a desire to push these things down and lift instead a grooup of willing players to attempt what is possible and have some fun and friendship with former enemies and combatants.

 deeds alone are the full measure of all. the rest is propaganda.

As to the present war I am sure all expect confeds to be ulitized in a game which provides for them. I am happy to say I have respect for players on both sides and I wish each side a good fortune in the hostilities. Illy is a game of smart people and high ego where all have the wise words. I think each side likes thier alliance and wish to engage the enemy so to speak. I hope this is done in as good a sportmanship as war allows and when the war is over the winners will be generous victors. The finest quality of the victor is the ability to be merciful to those that have been vanquished.

I am happy to see people enjoy the game and play in the style that suits them. Each is the architect of their own destiny.

thanks and cheers to all
