Posturing is part of any diplomatic relationship. StA has stated its intentions as a deterrent. They are entitled, imo, to do so. Whether the deterrent works or not is now in the hands of the other players. In that way I do see it as analogous to the H? 10 sq radius warning, and that is where the similarity ends. Anyone is capable of testing the resolve of either alliance, and should own any consequences that result.

One more time, it was a request to open up communications, not a warning, infer much? I'm starting to get a complex that your alliance does like mine  wanna hug it out?

No hostility implied, Silverlake. Perhaps "warning" was poorly chosen, but I suspect StA also sees their announcement as a way to forestall conflict. In the original post, StA also invited communication regarding others who wanted to move to Farra. But behind both offers is the assertion of a right to deny any change to the status quo. It seems disingenuous to me to pretend that the threat of forcible removal is not backing up that request. It is the proverbial offer you can't refuse. In both cases I would rather understand the attitude of my potential neighbors before I move/settle, so in that way I'm happy to see these announcements posted whether I heed them or not.

Why is it the moment someone says anything about H? you automatically call them out as not liking them? I think you're seeing what you want to see.

Thank you Angrim.
Birds, LOL, "Someone," try three people from the same alliance, that's a collective behavior, just own it and move on.

It was meant in jest. I assumed that was rather obvious with all the past 'hug it out etc'. But for heavens sake Harmless are on the receiving end of more mud, accusation, jealousy, envy, subversion, metagaming and god knows what else than the rest of Illy combined so you'll excuse us for being a little quick on the draw.

I know that neither Angrim nor I meant anything critical of H?'s policy/request/recommendation, we were just trying to use it as a point of comparison in an academic-type(trying to think of a better word) discussion... Not as a direct comparison, but of an alliance making a request or recommendation of any type. Your's I think is very reasonable. STa's not at all reasonable. It's hard to find the correct language that won't offend anyone... But I know Angrim well in-game and he's not the type to get all hot and bothered about silly issues. I have more of a tendency but will always admit when I mean to be offensive, and not saying I've never said anything critical of H?(I did during the tourney for sure), but this is not one of those times! I've been similarly critical of people in my own alliance though(Ask Rill). I'm just a premature old crank that likes a good debate.

Hugging doesn't always register as a jest to us, Llyorn. Remember that we have a whole branch of the confederacy dedicated to public displays of affection and they take their hugging very seriously.

It's true...Improper hugging technique can be seen as an act of war.
