However, I will say this- they don't seem to be a fan of Sphynx. You -think- that the people I have spoken to are lying, but you don't know who they are. I do. I honestly think they should say their own thing here, but they just feel that their words will be twisted and it will be worse than saying nothing at all. I think it's sad that the highest ranking member in an Alliance in Swamp talking here is me, but there you have it. Tbh, they're right, more often than not, the best thing to say is nothing. Not being a fan of Sphinx has no bearing their willingness to cooperate to attack someone they like even less. Just ask the hedge/swamp coalition that rolled tCW a few months ago and couldn't stand working with each other, even before the war started.

I would urge you to go read up more and digest it all, instead of solely what your coalition leadership has fed to you and asking us to reexplain things that have already been thoroughly explained. If you think I'm missing some important piece of information, you can always link it to me. I think few if anyone with 11 cities has done as much as I have to try to understand the root causes of this conflict and I've also paid a heavy price for doing so. 15 minutes ago, Prefonteen said: No, it is not. Agreements between Commonwealth, Swamp, HM and Rose (different agreements, to varying degrees) were in place before we fired a shot. In fact, we attacked *because* we found out about that. I thought you guys attacked because you thought you were going to be attacked first, as Boyce said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been sitting on a quote for what feels like a very long time (in fact only written yesterday afternoon). This is the guy that doesn't even want me to say what he said in my own words. I just think it's so very important that you hear something from someone who is -actually- high up in Swamp instead of my own interpretations. So here it is: ** The whole point, war was started on conjecture. Sphinx is a known selective leaker. Chaos bloc, among others, started a preemptive war based on something that even if discussed wasn’t even in the planning phases from a military build up stand point. This war...started by a leak of a former ally of Sphinx who took a convo he had with Sphinx claiming swamp wanted to hit Quack. It’s nonsense. Ludicrous in fact. It’s the entire game against Quack right now and we are barely winning. Swamp vs Quack would have been a blood bath and had I ever even been approached about such a thing, I would have opposed it with every fiber of my being because it would have lead my fellow alliance and bloc members to the slaughterhouse. ** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're missing a lot of important information, too much for me to dig up and link at your leisure. If you really want the truth, go read the recent threads from since the war started, and the posts contained therein. I do commend you, at least, for trying, especially as a newer nation and despite your past alliances' wishes. Good luck. 2 Quote Look up to the sky above~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you should realize and understand, there's a huge difference between between the story leaders tell each other, vs stories they tell members while they're on the winning side and don't need to care about the pr fallout of their statements. Yo its been a while Rosey (Its Juha), I'm well aware of what you're saying here and you're absolutely right. I really don't know what's going on behind the scenes, but from what I can tell I don't think the leaders are being dishonest regarding their roles leading up to the war. Although it means nothing coming from me, I can tell you none of the leaders (atleast in Guardian) have even pushed a narrative regarding war, its more or less just business as usual. I haven't been sold anything by anyone, I just hopped on the forums as an observer and formed my every opinion based on the arguments presented. 36 minutes ago, Phoenyx said: I don't need to get fully educated right away, you know :-p.

Honestly, I've always felt this fellow underestimates the strength of his side, but that can come in handy sometimes- if you tend to underestimate your side's strength, it's hard to be disappointed :-p. Anyway, as far as I can see, I am the only Swamp member posting here and from all the time I've spent in Swamp and the Swamp Alliances within (pretty much most of the 2 months I've played PAW), they are a very defensive group. Suggesting that Swamp would go on the attack is kind of like suggesting a hedgehog would do so. I mean yes, I suppose it's possible, but the much more likely situation is that they won't. But you attack them and theirs first and well, think hedgehog. The thing I'm thinking about the most is, this war can easily stop. From what Vexz said earlier, Rose is willing to end this. Based on what this senior Swamp official said, I can easily imagine the same. Why not give peace negotiations a go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, I think they're just terrible at war or something. They're going to start bleeding cash like their efforts against Arrgh. I tend to believe their struggles are only going to get a lot worse.
