Powerful thoughts which I absorbed and will consider. I do appreciate the responsible comments and To be honest I would have to say that I will reverse my stance on this and refrain form attacks on trolls. Some very honest ideas were stated and some have persuaded me that my previous policy would be in error and contrary to my general intent. While I would strongly discourage players from actively annoying others on Global Chat, I feel it would not be appropriate to attack them. My thanks to all who spoke their mind in response to the posted thread.
Regards, Amroth

As a newbie to Illyriad but with years of experience hosting tribes, clans, alliances in such meat grinders as TribalWars, Evony, NapWar, I have to say that this is by far the closest group of players to what I've looked for and how I and my alliances always played that I've ever found...

I can't abide bullies, in a game or real life. You can be an aggressive player, play up the RPG aspect in chat, and still play with decency and honor. There are all sorts of aspects to war, and war is my passion. That being said, what is the fun or challenge of attacking small players, weak players, or new players. Stealth and subterfuge all have their place, but it's easy to spot it as a strategy of play or as just another way to get over on someone. When does gamesmanship become sordid? Possibly when newbies are purposefully misled, set up, hounded out of the game simply because you can? 

Having said that, I would set out my style and intent in a war game, and I ask all of you in the community to call me out in any way you deem fit if I don't play by my own rules...

I initiate no attacks on active players smaller than myself...I will notify an opponent of impending hostilities if not readily obvious by circumstances...I will not break a promise or agreement without prior notice or for any reason that compromises my honor...I will aid all alliance members, allies, or anyone in need to my best ability...I don't lie, say anything I wouldn't say to the person being spoken of, nor instigate and encourage chat room feuds, fights, etc... How hard is it to honor your word, alliances, friendships?

I look forward to a long and happy time stomping around Illyriad...

What if you have two "mains?"

I would have to say that I was never a troll in this game.  I was merely the opposition of the way the powers at be think.  My line of thinking was the opposite.  The fact I thought differently than the players leading powerful alliances, made me a troll in their eyes.  Players that were not in the know, felt they should just join the band wagon and call me a troll to fit in with the  community. 

Perception means everything.  Everyone perceives things differently through their set of eyes  and experiences.  The people that think the same, are the ones that have gone through the same experiences in life or in games rather.   These differences between experiences more or less is what brings conflict in game and life with people that have not gone through the same experiences.

My path in this game, my experiences, shaped a different perception of the game compared to a player that was in power and seemed to get their way most of the time.

I am not a follower, I am too smart to try to pretend to be something I am not.  I will go against the grain if I need to to prove a point.  I am only given one life to live on this world.  So no matter if it be in a game or life, I best put a stamp on where I was and to say that I gave it my all.

Those of you dislike me because I was not a follower, spoke up about too many issues, and was not mute.  Well to those people, I laugh at you.  Do you think in game of all things, I will follow any person that does not hold the values I hold dear?

The Spy Network was a way to allow players that had the misfortune of being bullied by these same players in power that like control at all costs.  This Spy Network was meant to last a life time and this Spy Network will last for a lifetime.  I brought this mission in for the players that had experienced misfortune in this game.  These players needed someone to stick up for them when no one else would.  Here is your chance to make a stand.  Unite with other players experiencing  the same things as you are.  Overtime you will be strong and the ones in power will be weak.  

Do you think because I have decided to retire from this game it will stop the revolution? You are wrong!  I was merely just one of many in this.  I can be replaced by someone else and I hope the players that replace me will accomplish so much more and create something that will be talked about forever.

I will always root for the underdog in life and in games.

Do not lose hope my friends, all of you hold the key, the key to turn the tide.

Based from the movie DUNE, there must always be change, so one can grow.  A person must experience new things in life and in games to awake the sleeper within. 

The sleeper must awaken!

And shall all the players that stand for what I believe in.  Make a stand!

No you are not, you are far too easy to bait.

Capricorne, dont you see it? Kurfist wouldnt attack anyone just because they insulted him. You can verify this by insulting him again and again in GC.

He would attack only if you insult him and you are much smaller than him. Right Kurfist? Tongue

just kidding.. no malice towards anyone Big smile



Well ander when you put it that way.. :p

How many times has Jude said on the forums and in global that I am easy to bait, does that not imply he wanted to war with me?

Why am I even on this thread anyway? This post will either be support by my "ahem" supporters, or be boo'ed out by Knights Templars.
