Wait, Coria told you guys that they wanted a 1v1 war originally? That's not what they told us.

It's nice to know (OOCly at least) that Coria was quite willing to throw CE under the proverbial bus if it came to it. I have taught you guys well. 

I was under the impression that the northern realms was so dedicated to the "narrative" that they had concocted that they were ignoring reality.

Playing a Banker in this area is depressing. Every turn the game tells you exactly how many peasants starved to death in your realm today.

Well, fine, like I said, it didn't take too much persuading. CE was willing to take a risk in order to help out an ally. I'm just saying that the suggestion that CE provoked the whole thing does not hold water. We were not entirely blameless, but we didn't get together one day and say "hey let's go piss off eight realms at the same time".

What's more likely? One realm deciding to provoke war with most of the rest of the island? Or a bunch of realms conspiring to take down the biggest realm on the island?

I am fairly certain that Famine never demanded Barad Lacirith. We all knew that Coria did not have enough nobles to expand. Otherwise Shanandoah would have went to Coria.

People are making all sorts of accusations at a character that isn't even around anymore. The player is not exactly here to defend himself. Like I said, the perfect scapegoat.

This is Yangfan, by the way. You can see the family affiliation by clicking on the poster's name, assuming that he set it up correctly in his profile.

I honestly would not wish former Norland nobles on my enemies. You have my condolences.

Anneliese and Davendrall are... I suppose they are parodies of Norland nobles. Considering that Norland had a squirrel for a Prime Minister for a while, you'd have to go pretty over the top to parody them.

Having said that, I am sad that there is now one fewer Republic on Atamara.

The truly sad thing here is that CE provoked these wars and no one there seems to know it.

I have a char in CE's realm council, so... if anyone knew, I knew. Famine may have been a bad/arrogant Prime Minister, but at least he shared his messages with us.

Of course, I'd be lying if I said that CE was just going to sit around and wait for "Too Much Peace". We just didn't want to fight Eston, but ultimately it didn't take too much persuading. 

I wish we had the "save messages" feature a few months earlier. I could have saved all the relevant messages and actually have some evidence to show you guys.

Of course, people needed a reason to jump on the anti-CE bandwagon. Famine was as good a scape-goat as you were ever going to get. I understand.

CE/Tara/Talerium had 30K CS waiting for us in Alaise.

Let me get this straight: We are fighting what is essentially an 8 on 3 war. You have us badly outnumbered in terms of territory, income, nobles, military strength, pretty much every statistic and indicator.

And you are complaining that we somehow managed to field some troops on our choke-point? 

The truly sad thing here is that CE only declared war on Eston because Coria threatened to break our alliance if we didn't.
