What outcome would you LIKE for the Valar war?

But perhaps the reason they have not put your rules into effect, is because they do not agree. Just for clarification - and really not wishing the dev team to be drawn into Illy player or alliance politics - we neither agree nor disagree. Illyriad is, by design, a sandbox game. This means that it is what the players themselves choose to make of it, without any prescription of playstyle from us beyond some simple rules (such as the automatic "new player protection").

Sorry Dakota Strider you may recall this clarification from GM Stormcrow in the "GAME ON" thread which although was addressing slightly different issue is I think is self explanatory.

I would suggest my alliance but I fear for the risk of alienating both parties which may turn on us.

the best ally to mediate this would indeed be someone whit neutral sight over this whole mess.

here is no such ally. and i dont think the Coalition's H? and Champ would want to "solve this diplomatically."

Wow, how generous.  That someone that has displayed his anti-Valar feelings on various threads, would be willing to be a "neutral" mediator?  And he is so neutral, that he will bring to the negotiating table, his own demands that Valar must follow. I am underwhelmed.

He's JUST THAT GOOD i tell you!
