 Topic: This ****ing war
Posted: 10 Feb 2013 at 16:20 |

I am not sure if the powers that be are aware. I am though. People are leaving this game because of it, and I am thinking of doing the same, because I am disgusted.
There has been enough slanter from both sides in these forums, in many threads, so choosing right or wrong is no longer an issue.
This war has effected the game.
H?, you have won. But your demands are so ridiculous that I think you do not want to end this war. Are you aiming for anniliating?
If not, get reasonable. You always say you are not bullies. Prove it.

CK,
What do you think the demands are? Why do you think those demands are ridiculous?
The essential element of war is breaking the will of the opponent to continue to resist.
Players that choose to leave Illy because their will has been broken are free to do so. Many players have simply exited the warring alliances to non-warring alliances when their will has been broken.
In Illy, only the player himself can take himself out of the game by quitting.
CK, if you are not enjoying Illy for what it is - entertainment - then you should either find a way to enjoy Illy or move on to a new entertainment venue.
Emotional Blackmail will not work, though.

@ Captain Kindly (a character from a 'warring' world) Seems to me your 'mother' alliance was one of the earliest aggressors. If aggressors are vanquished they're usually required to make reparation to the victors. Fairly straightforward, and normal practice.

Bringing this to the forums helps no one and even further drags it out even further. If you don't like their terms suggest new ones that are worth it but more agreeable for your side. They do have a mediator to talk to about it and try to come up with better options.
There are many options to consider for both sides and I doubt they are so single minded that that is the only option they would even be willing to accept. Be reasonable with your reply's and don't get frustrated with them. For Example if someone pulled a gun on you and you happened to take it form him. If the man who originally had gun just wanted to bygones now that you have the gun would you let him?(This is not in any example to how the war happened in anyway) All and all they have won the war and now have you at gun point.

Really? So why does Consone fight on?

It WOULD extend their fun...let's face it, when you hit 10 cities, what else is there to do?

Why? Why should they prove anything...beyond the fact that they have already defeated all comers.

Suppose now that your alliance uses 100000 Knights to break a siege from an unalliagned player and then retaliates on that player who then asks for peace terms.
You say then : "One knight costs 5800 gold, we lost 100000, so we want 580.000.000 gold !!!" 
The other player goes in the forums to nag on how "unreasonable" you are ... and people that do not know the facts might take him for face value, but anyone that does notice the actual COST of building troops and then does a simple multiplication immediately knows better.
So, I do not know what terms you find unreasonable, but I mention that particular one because some time ago I had some IGMs from your side nagging about it, and thought to simply point out some small facts. 
On a side note : If anyone explains to me in a REASONABLE way why someone would abandon the whole game because of this war, instead of moving to a peaceful/training/trading alliance, I 'd be very grateful.
