and put outer tilog into... you know what never mind

Again, people tend to project their own ways into other realms as to what they expect... We really did only want a petty revenge against Aren (causing a bit of damage, nothing they wouldn't be able to recover from). Anything anyone else says or implies is just plain wrong.

Outer Tilog: we don't want to fight you, we just want to walk across your lands to take some petty revenge on your ally.
Minas Thingamewhatsit: no, we won't allow that, you must fight us if you want to go through...

Even when the realm knew it was on its last legs, it refused the simple thing which would have removed Outer Tilog from the fight...

I am very anti realm destruction and it saddens me whenever it happens. Especially in cases where you know it only happened because one side was being stubborn...

Really, the stance Outer Tilog gave in game was true and the only reason we joined the battle against you was due to the refused passage rights to get to our target.

The way the range 5 was used was effective but unrealistic and dull. Hopefully something can be done about that...

Trying to say we were some mastermind in the situation really does us a disservice. We are not a complicated realm and generally just say what we mean.

Or they were spared by the south, then formed a super alliance with Lukon Portion Wetham and InnerGiblothica or whatever to roflstomp and destroy Minas Thalion while Oritolon kept Aren busy. Actually pretty lame.

If you just asked about this in game you could have proper answers that enhance your fun. As it is, it seems no matter what anyone says, you've decided everything that happened and hats just the way it is...

You seem to be oblivious to how very, very wrong your above statement is.

Well, when someone suddenly starts shouting rubbish about something that a lot of people like, without giving anything of substance to back it up or suggestions for perceived improvement needed, what sort of response do you expect? Sounds like you're saying "I'm not having fun here and I want others to do things to change that"

Right. And the fact that that was the most recent interesting thing before MT getting roflstomped is very telling.

Might have have wanted to do something about that in your realm then. We always (mostly) have interesting things going on...

I'm referring to Giblot.

OT is downsizing how..?

Giblot was not what I'd class as recent... Would need someone in Gothica who's been there since its creation to give an idea of how old it is, then add a couple of months for when Giblot was destroyed.

I'm not much into OOC discussion about future intentions...

I dunno two realms have been helplessly roflstomped to death recently, there was a crappy imbalanced war in the south that would have resulted in a third if i hadnt surrendered, pretty much cant sneeze without risking the wrath of an invincible alliance. its a pretty bad situation.

Two realms stomped to death recently? We've just lost Minas Thingamewhatsit, there hasn't been another one recently (depends on your view of recently I guess). Plus, Minas Thingamewhatsit's demise was assisted by the very poor diplomacy as many realms involved in the conflict tried to give the realm a way out and each time had it thrown back in their faces...

Outer Tilog will be downsizing soon. I don't like other realms feeling they need to go along with us (as I didn't like it when Lukon was in an even more powerful position in the past (which brought about the Senate and various self imposed rules on the Island).

This time next year, I'm sure we'll be complaining about someone else being a dominant realm, but we'll deal with it as we have done before and ensure the Colonies stay fun for all (who want it to be fun)

One turn a day also appeals more to a number of the people there. Apart from brief periods with other characters, the Colonies has been my favourite place to be for many years.

The balance of power is tricky, as once one realm gets to a certain size it does seem to dominate, but if other realms work together, that balance can swiftly be regained (and is generally what is wanted by everyone). It's not actually that long ago that Outer Tilog thought it was going to be wiped out.

Those signs may be older than our Ruler's bulletin...

The ruler bulletin in Outer Tilog has just had its 12th birthday, having last been updated after the Lich King marched from Arak Castle to Outer Tilog to assist in war (obviously we immediately elected him ruler (we've always been a democracy)) and his update has stayed in place since...

Private games are good if you have enough people to play with.

A mute or block option on the chat could be good (potentially even giving feedback as, if the same person is blocked by multiple other people, it could be an indicator that they aren't good for the game).

Not sure if it's people that are here or those from steam or elsewhere but my enjoyment of the game has diminished since a few have appeared that seem to want to micromanage everyone and are hostile toward those that don't do what they've said. In one game I'd thought the person was making in character comments, but by the end of it it very much felt they were actually just being unpleasant.

Unfortunately I don't have time for things like that and it does affect the enjoyment levels. I enjoy games that feel like you're playing with friends, not with people you'd probably try to avoid interacting with.
