I think ultimately this is just a pro-H? version of what everyone assumed was happening anyway.  Which I guess is the point.

All these threads and comments that are becoming more and more Anti-H?, I can't really blame H? for putting out their version to combat the massive propaganda that Consone Fed is putting out.

I fail to understand what Absa did to merit a SIEGE against uninvolved, small members.

An insulting IGM? Several lost troops? Maybe, according to some people.

I don't know. I still think, in my own opinion, that sieging towns was an overreaction and unjustified.

I dunno about Consone being jerks and such. Jasche has clearly stated and we also believe that sieging Absa towns due to a loss of soldiers over a mine is an overreaction. I am sure most people will agree with this. There is a lot of killing troops over rare resources, but it is not a pretext for sending sieges. Nor is being an "a-hole" a legitimate reason to siege uninvolved Absa players. And breaking sieges is not a hostile act. What confederate would stand by and watch the cities of small players in an old confederated alliance get sieged for no clear, justifiable reason?

Please stop insinuating that Consone was looking for this fight. You can clearly see that we were heavily involved in the tournament. Especially Absa! How could Absa even want to start a fight with RHY when they are very much committing their troops in the tournament?

A lot of political bs may be said and all, but the entire matter is just simple. We never wanted this war. It was pushed on us.

I can say that Dark and WoT had a similar experience over a mine, however it was with different area of Consone.  This mine was 4 squares from a Dark town that Dark and WoT were sharing and timing mining, since it was a rare with a really long harvest time we did have a holding army there.
