True King Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I think NPO & BK just dragging it out severe months would probably sufficiently displease those who wanted this to be a quick war, without needing to resort to punitive terms. Also I think overly punitive terms at the end would likely be counter productive & something which could probably be used against them later. So personally I’m not a fan of punitive terms & think alliances should mostly seek to damage during the war than overly punitive terms even if there is some reasoning behind it. Although regardless I doubt we’ll see a quick end and terms would likely be the result of one side seeking them for peace sooner if they happen.

Alliances like Empyrea are barely still in the top 50 & TGH out of the top 30. Also war gives them something to do & I know I wouldn’t be likely to be wanting peace so soon after taking the initial infra damage. Peace can be kind of boring and last a long time if not suddenly given a reason to fight from an enemy of the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no the loot part is probably legit, I bought 16-20 with Knightfall/Ask Alexio money so I'm aware how easy it is. I was referring to the rest of the post.

The wishful thinking part where they say that getting looted is going to make us want a short war is what I'm referring to. Everyone who runs planes only is fully aware of the downsides at this point and a little looting isn't going to compel any capitulations from competent alliances, especially NPO and BK which are specifically referred to in the post Micchan quotes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow, its gone from outright winning to winning because upper tier exists. Alas, guess 2017 is the new 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True King Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I don’t know if it’s possible, but I think it Ending in another temporary alignment to deal with KETOG upper tier dominance or something it sounds like Roq might have been interested in working together against with CoS from a previous post I read. That would probably be the only way I can see this changing anytime soon from the current status quo stalemate. Although I think NPO/BK are likely to think KETOG & Chaos still aligned against them until they have a reason to view it different. If both spheres dig in for a joint peace agreement; then they’re less likely to want to give it. I think their side would assume them closer than they might actually be as long as they remain unified. So I do see some ways for it to end eventually or into a fight other than TKR vs NPO. (Although I don’t have high expectations we’ll see another apparent stale mate turned into a joint war with former foes working together) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you can go on forever since at this point the cost of the war is not high, I won't be sure that all your allies can do the same so instead of risking to see them peace one after another I would try to end the war in a month with a large offensive to show military power and good diplomatic skills But this is what I would do in your place, you are free to do what you want 3 hours ago, Aragorn, son of Arathorn said: You realize BK and NPO have been positive several days right?

Auctor Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 ....the irony of a side that initiated action on a large group of alliances because it was a threat that they were all treatied to each other simultaneously not able to draw a straight line to why alliances that might be treatied to them may constitute some kind of inimical force to the alliances they just hit for similar reasoning... 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
