Yarr/Tuf

Gwen and Dante Val had an incident over harvesting. Gwen apparently expressed her viewpoints aggressively. I don't know what was said. I don't know that this is the reason, but Dante Val has been uncharacteristically silent in AC for days since. I was not approached directly by Tuf over the incident.

AJ, you're obviously free to believe that I'm way off-base in my opinions. We'll let the gaming community decide based on what they've witnessed over the past 7 months in the SIN v. Unbow war, as well as wars past where smaller alliances such as ~NC~ have managed to successfully fight larger alliances. Again, I cannot imagine that your leader Agalloch would agree with what you're saying, given that he is indeed a student of Illy warfare and knows that superior sov, strategy, tactical superiority, and execution are all potentially equalizers. 

Personally I can't see any trolling.

AJ is welcome to ask Agalloch to label him as a non-combatant and I'm sure (though I do not speak for Yarr! leadership), that such a request would be considered.

Ohh, wait, Aga already said there would be no non-combatants in this war and forgot to tell his alliance that.

Jejune.  Thanks for pointing one of the ways TUF is superior at this time.  So we have more sov per city.  Let's do some math: 175 cities with 10 squares of sov on average = 1750 sov squares.  395 cities with 5 squares of sov on average = 1925.  I think I said, "ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL?"  If you are going to start using math at least do the math.  Furthermore, I'm quite certain you know that you can ADD sov.  You can add squares and raise their levels.  As an experienced player you also know that if you have 395 cities you can ADD more sov than an alliance with 175 cities.  Are you trying to say Yarr won't add sov?  I thought not.  So, starting out roughly equal and having a lot more cities to which to add sov means that, in the long run, the bigger alliance will end up with more sov.  Right?  Sometimes I wonder if people just pick numbers to re-enforce their point of view and pretend things just aren't what they are.  Yarr is a lot lager than TUF.  Yarr has more cities and more sov.  ALL THINGS ARE NOT EQUAL.  And pretending otherwise to justify the war is just being disingenuous. 

I do recognize that your post did not intend to take sides...but by justifying the war as even a mildly "fair fight" you do take sides.  What you ought to be doing is finding out the exact and explicit justification Yarr is using.  You will find they have a more flimsy excuse than dLords.  In other words, they have next to no reason to do this.  The justice of a war is not in the power of the sides but in the strength of their arguments for making war.  Yarr has no reasons to give and thus, gives none that any rational payer would recognize.  In fact, one of their players said to me they "feel" justified.  Whoopee for their "feelings," now give me their reasons.  And if you can find no reason for the aggression, I invite you to join us and fight for a free Illy where wars have to be founded on just reasons.

So this war is unjust and unjustified.  I keep challenging anybody to give any real reason for the attacks and so far, other than the claim that Pawa is also a Yarr claimed land, I find nothing.  Not even a snippet of AC where somebody makes some off hand joke about taking some mine from Yarr.  At least dlords had that flimsy excuse, as patently lame as it is.
