We can't make anything less intensive or 100% risk-free for anyone so it's always easy and not burdensome at all. Even though he's being sarcastic the point about commitment is very pertinent as the point is pertinent as newer/less entrenched alliances will be more enticed to ditch because it's easy to see it "if I get out of the way, I'll be on easy street." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was dead serious actually, but seeing that's the default mode for you to read others' posts, I guess you won't be able to follow the advice anyway. That's ok. Just don't get irritated with the princesses and queens though. Instead of forcing people to fight for you, you could try to make them want to fight for you. Showing "love" and similar feelings does that to people and gives you loyalty. Go with the stick though. It suits you.

Just now, ArcKnox said: What's amazing is saying this after logs where you say you want to roll an alliance until they disband are dropped Check the logs where DNFJ/Clicksey specifically is called out by Roq for not really caring about the war in the first place. Then again when Roq confirms GOONS is only joining because of TGH. GOONS is having fun, if that leads to the disbandment of an alliance due to inactivity that sucks but I also don't particularly care. 2 Quote Queen of Chaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have all of a few jokes and offhand comments worth of evidence for this claim. The beginning of the peace process has been put forth by Col B, it is not our problem if Col A refuses to take that first step. It is absolutely ridiculous to claim that just because we want to negotiate with one of the parties we're at war with first before settling anything else, that disbandment is being enacted as a matter of policy for the rest. Were peace reached with said negotiable party, and Col B continued to refuse to grant terms, then you might have an argument.

It's a fair bit more than a "few" jokes and offhand comments and it's backed up by the actions your coalition representatives have undertaken. That's the larger issue here - that we have not seen any genuine action being undertaken by Coalition B as a unit towards peace. I understand not everyone agrees and that coalitions have differing viewpoints and concerns among different member alliances but your coalition's appointed reps have held an uncompromising stance towards splitting our coalition and undermining our ability to negotiate amongst other actions such as delaying t$'s peace talks. Any one of these actions on their own could perhaps have been overlooked but the combination of all of them, regardless of leaks, have made it fairly obvious that they were not serious about peace during the three weeks we were working with them for. During the same time period, we made multiple concessions in an attempt to negotiate and none of those actions were reciprocated. We've been fairly clear with our stance here but maybe it's gotten lost amid all the recent leaks and drama. We took the first step when we publicly posted our offer to surrender. We have not rescinded them. None of what we're asking for is ridiculous or uncalled for and we made these overtures in private first. If we thought leaving it at that would have sufficed, we wouldn't have come here, but between how our requests were handled there and the narrative that we were the ones delaying talks despite all our best efforts to negotiate and come to an agreement with your coalition, we felt like publicly addressing our issues and concerns and making clear the progress of negotiations up until that point was necessary. We are willing to negotiate though and we've made it clear what it'll take to get us back to the table. We still agree to surrendering as a term. All we're asking for is for talks to be conducted straightforwardly, with all terms presented upfront and all coalition members included. That's it.
