War Discussions in GC

Maybe there's room for everything.  Hur hur wargarble garble, snuggling, bears, knitting, people complaining about people wargarbling or knitting ... the whole gamut.

Saying, "If you don't like it, leave," is the aggressive version of threatening to abandon, at least in my book. Just because nobody can stop misbehavior on the Internet, doesn't mean that these antics are mature or intelligent. Look, there is only one main chat channel in this game. Many of us play long-term because of the Illyriad community. When every single conversation gets derailed by angry people crashing in for unrelated server war trash talk (or prancey-dancey rubbish about bears), it gets frustrating for people just trying to have a normal social discussion. I've said it before, I'll say it again: the rest of us wish you guys would just shut up and fight.

since the demise of the bitter sea, frustrations are vented through the forums in a more.... gentile way
war talk IMO..Doesn't dictate GC..yes there are times when it crops up and yes...it ends as quickly as it starts
non warring players have to understand sometimes the topic in GC will go onto the present war..for crying out loud ...its a major event in the history of ILLRIAD....some people have to understand you cannot simply brush events such as this under the carpet and pretend it isn't happening...so yea Ropa and others...go bury your head in the sand and get on with your GC cuddles and snuggles and let the creators of a new era get on with their job, even if that means having to put up with some war talk in GC.

OMG! I agree with Hath about something! ;)

civilised is key, and this one was. they are not always, and in those cases perhaps they ought to find another venue, but not because the topic is the war.
