Personally I think it would be more fun if prior to a war there were agreed-upon parameters for what it means to "win" and what the consequences of "winning" or "losing" would be.  Some people would probably find this to be annoyingly bureaucratic though.


So incredibly logical.
Land, for instance.  Mining rights.  All the things people fight over.
It sounds so much more motivating than fighting over the size of one's . . . alliance.

i am also not seeing the threats. the first was to say that Ossian had been recognised as Redfist and would be given no more attention than he had under his old name; the second raised a (imo) pretty valid point about trying to parse information about the confederation; and the third was a (apparently ineffective) joke.

the point about individual members seeming to speak for an alliance or confederation ought to be a cautionary tale for all. even now in another thread H? is accused of having staked out a position that only one director (to my knowledge) has espoused. many players have adopted an attitude about crows based on their contact with a single member.

Who is this someone? I think it may be Rill because Kumo always insults her. Whoever it is, HM made this person seem like some Thor God stronger than all the armies in the world. Marvel should make a movie about this. Avengers 3: The Age of Rill coming soon summer 2016.

I don't see anything wrong with those posts. The third one was a joke.

Heres some quotes taken from a thread Angrim made about the nature of the Crowfed a few months back that shows some "not-so-subtle" threats made by KP to people that posted in that thread.  This was a few weeks before the current war began, I wont comment on what was said because I don't want to put any of my spin on it.  The thread is locked so I don't think you can edit your posts on there anymore but I know KP can be such a tricky poodle so I took screenshots in case Sleepy.

Hi Ossian - nice new name you have there.

P.S. Redfist had written 2 paragraphs that KP was amazingly able to shorten to blah blah blah for our reading convenience Shocked.

That may be true, however many folk in this thread seem to be speaking on behalf of the entire crowalition ("The crowfed does this" , "the crowfed did that") and in that context they are painting themselves with a single brush.

These are just a few highlights but you can check out the original thread if you want to read some of the interesting things that were discussed on the forums just before this war began.  The thread is locked so its like a bit of history frozen in time.  You can find it here:

I do not know the past history before I started playing illy of what has happened with you and RMY and drama queen or not, there is NO excuse for anyone to be treated like she was that particular night
KP you was obviously drunk that night and on one of your infamous GC rants...some of the things said made me wince and I aint no angel.
My point is HM stated things have not been said on your side that was ever personal...and I can witness he is wrong!
NO..I dont do the Fandango!

I'm going to stop you right now, unless you were in Toothless and witnessed the abuse and controversy she created in that peaceful training alliance, you don't know the full story.   I was Chancellor of T?, Luvs was also in T and I still have records of all the deception and yes, abusive behavior she created against the alliance, staff and members (new players).

RMY was a drama queen who liked to paint herself as the wounded party when, in fact, she created the problems herself.    Any comments posted by T or H staff were fully justified.   Find something else to dredge up, this one doesn't cut it.  
CEO, Harmless?
Founder of Toothless?

Regarding RMY - all I ever did was point out where she was lying, trolling and generally displaying rank hypocrisy.

Show me any log where I did otherwise.
