We don't negotiatiate with terrorists!!!

j/ks - nah I think most H? aren't really too bothered about it really... or even aware that something was happening - pretty sure we've had no instructions/requests to target you in general.

From what I can tell it is pretty much just a few people who dislike you personally I guess for all you've said about H? in the past getting even - plus those people who don't want you setting up close to their cities. 

Guess the lesson there is: don't ruffle the feathers of bigger people then sit down next to them... unless of course you wanted a fight - then it's fine. 

Hey I thought that last bit was pretty upfront! 

Still I don't imagine it'll make you happy. Good job making you happy isn't my job. 

Ok, I may have loled. If I did though, I wouldn't tell you.

I think you missed the real lesson, Illyriad is awash with hypocrisy is more the point. If having a player disagree with you openly in writing is enough of a feather ruffling to cause you to nerdrage and bring your considerable in game weight to bear against said player, then there are deeper daddy/mommy issues at play here than simple "disagreement". If that sort of thing happens in real life, we call it what it is. In Illyriad, we simply siege the dissidents until they "conform" or are no more.

My (and the rest of my alliance) intentions for moving to the location I chose where not to look for a fight with H? militarily. But no one bothered to ask. At this stage, any reasonable player (so that excludes those on the H? bandwagon like Rill) would agree that I am hardly a threat and my moving in is nothing to really be concerned about. If I am a threat to H?, my location has nothing to do with that, a threat is a threat no matter what the distance is. My proximity is just as much a disadvantage as it is a perceived advantage. In fact, I would argue due to H?'s size, that it would be idiotic to move right beside H? if my intentions were to launch armies and diplos. (again, I have done NONE of that)

In short, if I wanted a fight, there are much better ways to communicate that. You guys seem bored though, and I suppose I can't blame you. The VALAR fiasco was fairly shortlived and even I was surprised at its brevity.
