I really feel the point is lost in here.  Jude fried his account by his own actions...  He made his bed, now he must lie in it.  His best hope would be to create a brand new account and dump this one.  It has a stigma that will stay with it until the very end.

I regret trying to point out the error of his ways - obviously, people will make their own decisions as to his post based on their opinions and personal bias.  My opinion/bias is that Jude has reaped what he has sown.  And with that, I will not debate this any longer...

Have a great day!  (^_^)

StJude made a war declaration against H and other 30 alliances. As far as I know, It was just a mock declaration. He did not attack any H cities. Please correct me if I am wrong.

And 4 of his 5 cities were burnt to the ground. Now they want to burn down his last standing city.

But I agree that painting them as a tyrant is ridiculous. It doesn't take a tyrant to beat up a tiny unpopular player.  Any bully can do that.

If you have read this post alone, that statement would have merit.  However, one should not forget St.Jude instigated this war with Harmless?....  <--(that was not a question, but a statement...difficult to tell with the [H?] question following the alliance name.)  So turning around and painting them as a tyrant is just plain ridiculous



Yes, Stjude instigated the war, suffered monumental losses, and gave up his cause. He even went so far as to remove his last city, loosing thousands of villagers in the process. StJude started the war, we can all agree the Harmless? and Champs ended it. 

StJude no longer stands a threat to Harmless?, or anyone for that matter. He has become a struggling Lord, trying his best to improve his small villages. And after moving his city, he still faces prosecution for crimes he has already paid for. 

Furthermore, I was not painting them as a tyrant as I have no proof of anything, besides StJude's wicked words. I was just pointing out that if an alliance was to defend land from settlers, they should claim sovereignty on it, or be prepared to be labeled as a Tyrant.

This is a free land we live in. If someone wants to mark territory as "theirs" they are welcome to do that using sovereignty

If they do not claim sovereignty over the land, it is open for settlement, or for someone else to claim sovereignty over it. This is not merely guidelines, it is the war the world works. 

Being a free land, Lords and alliances are welcome to engage in war to remove cities that they do not like, for one reason or another. However, this is a form of tyranny, and there could be consequences for such tyranny. 

If H? wishes to remove towns that they previously had no claim over, they are setting themselves up to be tyrants. If they truly want to "reserve" land, it should be done officially with sovereignty. Any turf war dispute not involving canceling sovereignty on a square becomes bullying. Except in the case of smaller towns who have not the resources nor the research to claim sovereignty on so many squares. 

StJude seems to have a righteous cause, and I would not be surprised if many like minded righteous and justice seeking Lords come to his aid.

Knights of Cydonia sounds a bit more appropriate to me.  Plus, the video is kind of awesome.

I applaud the underdog for never giving up and sticking to their beliefs no matter how many nay sayers there are.

Just because one opinion dominates a forum or a game does not make it right.

Many of these band wagon players if faced with the same odds I am sure would have given up by now.

A heart of a champion.
