Actually we admire your commitment and determination to fight for what you believe in. We acknowledge that there's a certain difference of opinion regarding what the war is about, but we've come to terms with it. uCrow wishes TVM nothing but the best in either peace or war.
We were very clear that supporting or even joining RE during the war would be viewed as an escalation; and as such would lead to further escalation. I personally pleaded repeatedly with Nistiner to avoid an expansion of the war, but my pleas were ignored. That said, we expected TVM to cave after EE declared, but you chose to fight regardless. Generous surrender terms were offered early on, but you refused them then... and continue to refuse them now. So your assertion that the war and even destruction couldn't (can't) be avoided is simply false. |

Well, EF is still bitter and petty. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who is actually surprised by that.
TVM has indeed been hit very hard but there are some key differences in the way TLR ended and the current state of TVM. First off, TVM still exists. I'm sure you and your loving friends in the Crow wings would argue it's not much of an existence but one can still view our profile and role call page. We are broken and bloody after the pile on but we are still living and doing our best to exist. Next, the war that may finally destroy TVM was not started because leadership ignored efforts to avoid it. It started because EE decided to declare and attack without warning. Whether revenge, a major conspiracy to shift the balance of power in Elgea or something in between, there was no avoiding it. The final difference I'd like to highlight is the fact that many of the members of TVM remain members. It is true that many have left for various reasons (mostly city preservation) but those that stay are not being held hostage and have been offered the opportunity to get out of the war by multiple sources. They could leave, yet do not. I count that as a major if not the main difference between the alliance you ran into the ground and the alliance I consider myself honored and seriously lucky to be a part of. |

Geofrey-- Does Affirmative Action have a mandatory percentage of Orcs, Dwarves, or Elves in its alliance makeup? ;)

What do you mean with ex-members ? 1) Active player leaving your alliance? 2) Inactive players you kick ? 3) Suspended? |

Affirmative Action does not recognize your claim to un-allied cities. As set forth by the King of Illyriad, any holdings not part of an Alliance are not in anyway bound to an alliance. The Long Road is welcome to plunder any un-allied towns they wish, but they may not do so exclusively. Geofrey of Affirmative Action

One could argue that making a declaration that you don't intend to back up is basically an expression of an opinion. Free speech is a good thing.

That's true Ander. We obviously couldn't.
For the level headed, clearly the idea is not attacking former TLR members willy nilly. The Equalizer can attest to that. We are simply claiming what is ours within a reasonable time frame. Who would just smile and nod if an inactive was looted under their nose? We are few and fresh. We certainly aren't of a sufficient size to stop even a lone vet from doing what they want in our territory. This is just a simple CYA claim. We claim our territory and we claim certain rights. We will stand as long as we can. That's it, pretty simple. BTW: Isn't this whole "game" a drama (or a comedy sometimes)? Everything we do is for attention, in one way or another. People don't come into Illyriad with an expectation to be left alone, to have no interaction. We all do it differently. What's the harm in a little declarative now and then? Corrected The Equalizer's name
