The same person wrote these two posts? Really?
For my part, I don't blame CE for what they've done, or the end result. They've been *very* successful, and have the might to show for it. So long as they have played it all IC, then that's fine with me. Even if they have used strong-arm tactics, dirty politics, etc., it doesn't matter, so long as it's all been IC, and not OOC.
CE/Tara is free to do whatever they want, and it's up to the rest of us to stop them. There's certainly enough war going on on Atamara that it's not like the Great Peace on EC. Should they proceed to "win" the island, and unite everything into a single, tight political alliance, then I think it will move to an OOC obligation on the leaders to do something to keep it from staying that way for a significant length of time.
