Dots, we gave you an out to save 2 of your cities, with no future hostilities (unless provoked) and will accept you going back into Valar AFTER peace was established. You have opt'ed out of that, thus 2 of those sieges will continue their course. Due to reinforcement coming into those cities, it will be on these towns alone our ceasing from military action will be lifted. We tried to give you an EASY out but alas.. you chose to throw it in our teeth. The choice was yours.
You stated:
"I don't want to save my account nor I need your attacks to stop, it doesn' matter. That's NOT MY GOAL. "
Good cause it was nor is our goal.
You also stated:
"I want only to show who dlord are: a. H never attacked me (I had only a couple of feints from them) also during war, probably because they never found my name in military reports"
Wrong, you were by us and so you fell to us to deal with and since you are BY us, specifically for the war, you are in fact a threat regardless of what you did or did not do. THough if H? wanted you removed they would, in point of interest, done much more.
You state:
" b. peace talks (even if formally there's war) are ongoing"
But peace has not officially been reached. There has been no coalition declared cease fire.
Dlord will back out tomorrow of the war but all on going operations, with respect to your 2 cities, will continue till their ends have been reached since they were enacted prior.
You stated:
"c. H stopped every operation, even if there's war with them
and you keep attacking with nobody attacking you. THERE IS WAR ONLY BECAUSE YOU'RE ATTACKING.
However, if it's dlord's way of thinking, that's it. Other players will decide on their own what to think about you and your minions.
My opinion is that your way of acting is not a problem for me, it's for Illyriad."
H? has not stopped every operation but in fact will continue on till the 10th and their CURRENT operations are fulfilled. Make sure your facts are correct. There is a war because NO PEACE has been reached as of yet because all aspects required have not been reached. What we have, in essense, is a slowing down or calming, to see if it continues until peace is reached.
You opinions are about as informed as your facts, little. However our way of thinking is simple and has always been such, as it is the very same with much of the leadership of Illy. IF we are at war, we continue till the war is over, or a cease fire has been agreed upon, not stop when it seems it is almost over but you're still waiting to see if your requirements are met. We have backed off a great deal on Valar over the last week. Additionally, we have attacked many others in this engagement than just you.
You also stated:
"2. "For this cessation to occur earlier, or for a particular player to remove themselves from risk of attack, each individual player and the whole of Valar have been given the option of leaving Valar or declaring their wholehearted acceptance of the terms of the "coalition" as an alliance as a whole." ---> So if I leave, you'll stop attacking me, but what about others that will remain in VALAR? No thanks, I prefer to remain here and avoid the same to others. I'm still quite big so perhaps it will take time to bring me down..."
LOL.. what is up with the whole Martyr complex thing :) Please.. who else will be under attack? What other person is going to be attacked? if they were targeted, they would have already been hit, just like you, good-buddy, moreblue4u2 (when he moved into Valar to aid them), and others as well. No, your over-sensationalism or dramatic over-acting of the issue, which you have now chosen, has nothing to do with others nor your supposed care for them but simply give us a good drama act. You know as well as those others we engaged, if Dlord is at 'war' with an alliance and you choose not to leave said alliance, and we turn our eyes on you, you will be hit quickly and openly.
You finally stated:
"Sloter, unfotunately I cannot accept your kind and gentle offering because it probably will mean new attacks on the rest of VALAR. A lot of them immediately sent reinforcements to me without fearing possible attacks from dlord or H (before HM's post). I would be a traitor."
That is sad to hear. Vic offered what you KNEW was a legit offer (made in conjunction with Dlord) and turned it down.
