The balance of power...

It's over now, so... We'll see how The Grand Alliance will conduct themselves. Hopefully better than they did in the war. I have no interest in staying in a game where folks are regularly sieged out of the game. Two continents will also make things quite different, I believe...

Aurodan - lets compare and contrast what H? vs Vultures and friends did with their power.   

On one hand you have an alliance who setup the server wide code of conduct about protecting new players and training alliances.  Who actually aborted more wars than most people realize and who went through a whole bunch of diplomacy to try to prevent another server wide war.  The one major war they did then enter (and remember there was only 1 war dec from H? followed by 6+ from the other side) that some folk (Rill) are using as justification for the current dog pile, lasted 6 months and ended with at most two players (debatable that it's even two) reduced by more than 30% of their accounts and peace settlements which totaled <10bill gold across 8 alliances with individuals leaving the war for approx 50million. 

The "victims" of that war bounced back in a relatively short time to mastermind the next server war for revenge - one which laid waste to most of an entire alliance, upwards of 50 accounts (an probably closer to 100) reduced to 1 city, 40 billion in gold compensation (and counting) and extortions of 1 *billion* gold for single players to exit the war.   Plus all the other terms alliances had to suffer (no more than 10K troops, no participating in tourneys on XYZ square under threat of resumption of war, etrc etc etc.).

Your sycophantic posts of love about the latter group of folk are making you look kinda ridiculous.

I'm sure we'll all yearn for the good old days of H? beating people down over Trove mines and NC and friends' constant wars against anyone they decided they didn't like.  I'm glad BSH, an alliance who would never dream of using it's size and militarism to push other alliances around, is on top of this issue.  I should stop now.  I've gone way over my recommended daily dose of sarcasm.

Depends...we talking the Borg Collective? ;)

Rill, I hope you are right, but looking at the top ten alliances I cannot see that hope coming into fruition.  If there is the slightest truth in my fears then that spells disaster for the future of Illyriad.
