So now you admit to being the aggressors the entire time, and instead criticize not the fact that we finally declared but that we didn't do it sooner. It is apparent that you wanted to pile on but were too cowardly to declare yourself.
Just a suggestion, don't cry about losing troops when you are razing a town. You will notice that EE didn't cry about you attacking our allies and camps, we simply declared and did something about it. I get tired of people trying to get some sort of pity and thinking that they are the victims after they are called out on their actions. At least you had the wherewithal to admit you were really in the war since the beginning. |

Very well. I admit (and have never denied) that we were attacking your allies and one of your sieges. Why the declaration now? When one of EE's general membership contacted me in a rude and demanding way, insisting I explain TVM's intentions with respect to Druids, why not declare then? After all, it was clear then that we were sieging a Druid member. Was this Druid member not worth the effort? It is only VALAR that matters enough to declare and post? Again, I have no qualms about the declaration. This IS a war. I am arguing the blatant hypocracy demonstrated by the OP and illustrated again by waiting until it is "important" enough to act and then using all previous action to retroactively reinforce that action. |

All true except: Eternal Fire declared War on Shade. Shade simply launched feints and blockades assuming EF would contact them and they could talk (EF had ignored The Duke's messages, thus an escallation ensued.) EF acted on impulse and "dragged" TLR into a war in which it was clearly outmatched. I had no idea The Duke was trying to talk to and being ignored by EF. THAT was the last in a long line of poor decisions that forced me out. The members followed me. They did not remain behind to "face the consequences." EDIT: Oh, and by the way, I did not launch without authorization while in TLR, ever. Edited by abstractdream - 20 Jan 2013 at 20:33 |

If you have been in this since before Trivium was formed then that has everything to do with the fact that you were helping siege our allies, attacking our sieges, and then when asked in IGM about your intentions you refused to declare. By acknowledging this Hath made no misrepresentation of your intentions. Attacking our allies and our sieges is not defending yourselves.

Let's note here that Bonfyr Verboo of TVM and Wilberforce of N are alts. There is nothing secret about this. Wilberforce was involved in the war through N.
Bonfyr Verboo and Abraxox, who are friends in real life, dragged their former alliance, TLR, into a war on behalf of an alt. (Through for example sieges on Dwarven Druids.) The Duke of Shade objected to this behavior, and their alliance leader, Eternal Fire, did not support it. In response, Bonfyr Verboo and Abraxox took a group of their followers from TLR to form Trivium, leaving their former TLR alliance mates to face the consequences of their actions. Which, to his credit, Eternal Fire did, and has earned my respect in so doing. Trivium has been at war with Consone since before it was even formed. They have reinforced sieges on Consone members and launched their own sieges at times. EE has decided to recognize these actions with a declaration of war. In describing the flow of history as I understand it, I am not making judgments (except for my increased respect for Eternal Fire, as noted). But let's call a spade a spade. Re-edited: It is apparently now possible to edit the titles of forum posts. I had tried to do this a while back and failed. Good to know.

Number 1.1 We had made ZERO statements to ANYONE about Haller's attempt to break our siege before EE's silly post. Number 2.2 We have been the aggressor against two Ursor based Druid members and when the player who was in our sights came on here and "cried pity me" we did not argue that fact. We are not declaring our "peaceful" intentions here, we are defending our name against the OP. |

What? That very siege you mention was (one of) our "dogs in the fight." We (some of us anyway) have indeed been in this since before TRIVIUM was formed. What has that got to do with EE accusing us of "constantly attacked seiges that we are performing and refuse to declare war"? What I expect to happen is we defend ourselves against hatchet job statements. EE's leader made a misrepresentational statement, we are defending ourselves. |

Again, the point of this was to paint TVM with a certain color while keeping EE as it's "pure" original color. EE did exactly what we did but expects us to live up to a higher standard. Hypocritical. |
