But you can't force the mercy on people if it's unwanted.
"Speak softly and carry a big stick." Point to that quote is if the speaking softly doesn't work, use the stick. These guys seem to enjoy the beating, so give them more of what they love.

No I'm here for the cash. But I also like pointing out things.
The bad thing is .....I think Diabolos is actually believing his spin. To bad not many others are.
Plausible deniability.
Never write it down and make it clear what you want done. Then keep a close eye noting who does what you want and who defies your wishes. Then you know who to trust, who to aid, who to promote, who to fire. And through it all, you can deny liability. It was never an order. *Wink wink
I hate to see you leave, but you gotta do what you gotta do. You can always come back. You have plenty of friends who can help you if you do.
Peace and long life.
For war stats can we see how much TEst has gained through looting minus their losses to war. To me it looks like TEst is raking in cash while having fun. How long can you guys keep that going?
Didn't I see something similar in a mobster movie? The boss didn't order the hit, he just made it plain, he wouldn't mind seeing the guy dead. Not too long after that the guy was dead.
Another example: my ex would hang a list of things around the house to be done on the frig. She didn't order me to do them, but was always pissed if that list wasn't done and took it out on me.(wonder why she is the ex)
With this argument, why can planes take out ships? Ships are very expensive, take a lot of steel, and take forever to grow. Should it be harder to sink ships with air craft? I know the last few times I fought, planes and tanks were much more cost efficient than ships. Although ships are good to draw attacks away from other things.
Best of luck to all who are fighting.
