Thanks for the nice advice, and I did so.
Jasche's version (in short) sounded like there had been a dispute on settling towns, different ideas about town distance rules (as already clarified by both side at length), consequent soving of squares, again dispute about distances, etc... And finally one player (surprisingly and sadly from our side) sending out a siege.
So pro's and Con's on both sides. And in my opinion, this siege had definitly been a bad move and far too aggressive.
What I really don't understand, is why you haven't put your own view in here, even upon asking? It would have been another thread in distance disputes, and diplomacy would have had it's chance to go along.
But all I got was:

Starry, Consone requested RES's assistance which was refused and greeted with a Consone siege on RES. These Consone fellas are a very "interesting" bunch. |
A very interesting point of view, I'm sure. But not very helpful in mediating conflicts.

If you give me names, cities, reasons, IGM and background information, I might be able to mediate in this particular incident. Numbers of soldiers lost, damage to city, etc. would be nice to know, too, as to estimate the gravity of this incident.
As I stated above, it was NO coordinated action, thus I didn't know of this siege until I heard it is gone already...
...thus, please enlighten me! |

You may be right in regards to easier communication - thats a take on it, but you could also see it as VIC forming a myriad of "puppet" alliances, which are in all political matters under the control of the main alliance while retaining the ability to recruit under the guise of being independent.
It seems wrong to me.
I realise I can't make myself judge on what is a legit and illegitimate strategy here, but I honestly can't say I applaud Illyriad taking this new direction.

Until recently, VIC even had a player with his alt in H?, but we had to ask him to leave, when diplomatic relations got more icy between our two alliances.
Consone consists of independently founded alliances, with some of them having confeds for a long time already. Those links aren't one way, as you might suppose, but there are also high ranking officers of our partners sending their alts into VIC.
The leaders of those alliances never have been in VIC, except official former wing alliances like Victrix and partly Sages as a foundation by former VIC members and some alts.
Every alliance has free will. But as in every pakt, we try to coordinate our actions between those different leaders. That's what I called High Command in previous posts. Every leaders has a voice in there, and everyone is free to leave, if he doesn't agree with commonly made decisions. Communication still isn't perfect, too. So please excuse me, if I'm not immediately up to date with incidents made by single persons in other parts of Consone.
I'll happily try to mediate in any problem, though, but if I only get sentences like "a player in WE set up a siege against RES, EXPLAIN!", I'd need some time getting into background and reasons for such an incident myself.
Jasche is chosen chief diplomate of Consone, not leader. We're still independent parts, that's what causes some of those problems some people like to complain about...

Maybe the H? coalition ought to do some recruiting, too? This war expands merrily every day to include more players, more alliace -- I'm sure there are some folks out there that would like to get in on the fun, but just aren't "Consone people." It's like there's "Elvis people" and "Beatles people." Same with this war: you've got the "H? people" and "Consone people."
(God this comment is going to spin off so many snarky remarks.)

There are also developed players of other Consone alliances having alts in VIC.
Makes communication much faster, and as long as those links are known to the leaders of both alliances, I have no problem with that...

I've just noticed that a developed VIC player has an alt in Frost too. Im curious as to how widespread this is.
Does the phenomena occurs throughout Consone or is it just a wild coincidence?

Some days back a player from RES sent me a friend request and I didn't even exchanged a mail with that player before (or after for that matter)..so should I conclude that all RES players are pushy and are used to send unsolicited requests to everyone and a lot of other crap. These kind of generalizations never represent the truth and I never expected TD to make them.
Somebody lost respect.

I currently have several friend requests from people I don't know (a few I've seen in GC) and who I have not Accepted. I don't know them and use the 'friend list' for people who I actually know and have spent time (in game time) with. I run with the assumption that those people liked what I had to say in GC, liked my forum input and generally agree with my viewpoint(s). I have not received mail by many of these players and do not take offense to their requests.
If the friends list annoys you, you can turn it off. Just because someone requests a friend confirm doesn't mean you must accept.
Your post has no relevance here.
The facts are that a Consone member launched an undeserved siege (the most heinous of attacks) at a RES member and Consone has claimed innocence in the matter. There is an obvious disconnect here!
