It's a good game Shizzle if you have people to play with.  Drop by IRC and I'll probably play with you.  I'm not on the forums much so you're on your own if you try to get a group going that way.

Chances are the region will still have high sympathy for you though right?  Likely the turnaround will be reasonably quick in the scenario you are describing.

Is the claims system still around?  If it is perhaps that could be used to determine whether a city is being conquered or liberated?  Just a thought.  I like this idea though.  Right now there isn't really a downside to a friendly takeover compared to a brutal one is there not?

Apologies for the double post (I feel like two different things should be discussed in two different replies), but I want to jump in on what Fleugs said about rulers being too cautious.  Would it not make sense IC for a ruler to be cautious?  I suppose it would depend on the character, but as a ruler your whole job is to keep the realm together.  Not wanting to get your realm destroyed makes perfect sense coming from the perspective of individual characters.

Play War Islands, then?

War Islands is not Battlemaster.  This post has nothing to do with War Islands, they are two very different games.

Secession   (just in)
message to Everyone on Atamara
The duchy of Barad Riel has seceded from Eston and formed a new realm called Rieleston.

Well.  Didn't see that coming.  Another civil war, perhaps?

I can't deny that the CE players deserve to be where they are, because they have achieved the closest possible thing to "Winning" the game, from a strategy standpoint.

However.  I HATE the idea.  If you're on the outs, it is incredibly hard to get anything done.  I'm not so upset about this latest conflict, because at least it was a fair fight, the NA lost that war because the CE alliance simply communicated better, and used their army better.  They outstrategized us.  That's totally fair

Bloc realms infuriate me when it becomes simply ganging up on one realm.  That's not fun for the attackers, because the war isn't fun it's just a roflstomp.  It's not fun for the defenders because their realm gets destroyed with no chance to defend themselves.

What's the point of playing the game if it's not fun?  Seriously why try to fight CE.  If anyone tries to fight them they will literally go to war with half the continent.  You better hope the rest of the realms join you or your realm is destroyed.  How is that fun at all?  For anyone?

It's really frustrating as a player.  And really boring.  I'd like to find some way to break up bloc realms, but there's only so much a small realm like mine can do.  Maybe I'm just jaded, but I'm definitely not having much fun on Atamara anymore.  Thank god Raoul shook things up for Ithilia.  Or It'd be more of the same for us like it has been for years.

Also I just want to say, toxic OOC messages do not help anybody.  There is NO discussion on how to fix the situation before the ships arrive.  Instead it's just a huge "dev-team conspiracy" circle jerk.  It's really insulting as a player to get nothing but garbage OOC message for 2 days straight.

Why don't we do something about it instead of complaining.  It's happened.  Nothing's getting changed.  It's on us if we want to save Aurvandil.  (Which I do)

Wait, what do you mean Tara is out of the picture?

With the Treaty of Shannondoah in effect, Tara is not allowed to use Corian lands to fight MI correct?

Yeah whenever I would play, I would get massive Framerate issues.  It's fixed now though.  Just let me know when you guys are thinking about playing!  I don't check the forum much, but I figure Zaki will let me know.  I'll try not to be too busy this time

Well, technically. With Darka... But our allies are still at war. It'd be callous to say: 'Hey guys, we're done here. Good luck and all that, we'll see ya in a few months.' We have to at least try to support them.

That explains it then.  Jaune (Kosunen) and I were wondering why you wouldn't talk peace with Darka.

Coria is still in the war?
ML is making progress

All quiet on the Western front.

Now that Tara is out of the picture, MI can actually get back to fighting ML.  I'll squash De la Fere's little rebellion!

Minas Ithil is a pretty quiet realm.  It isn't just me.  Definitely not that fun of a realm.  I'm glad Mart shook things up, he claims people are talking again in ML, but Idk if that's true and it certainly didn't do anything for MI.

That and losing the last few wars, and you're definitely right about MI going downhill.  There's only so much I can do though.

Sorry friends.  I've just been a bit busier now that school has started up again.  I WILL get back to you, it just takes me a lot longer.  Erikir I was actually about to respond to your letter within the next hour.

I'm still alive guys.  But yeah Lanyon is right.  I don't always have time to read everything so often I skim over stuff.  If I see the bars around a private message though, I always read those.

Sorry I didn't answer Tom!  My internet in my building went out and must have gotten fixed while I was out. 
Hopefully another time!

Toridas, The Void

An entity awoke to nothing.  An empty void.  He was puzzled, he didn't know where he was, who or what he was.

"I must be an entity," he said to himself, "For I sense and I feel and I think.  An entity must be called something, or what could separate it from this nothing?  I shall call myself Toridas" He decided.  And the entity became Toridas.

"Hm... I am but thought and energy, barely distinguishable from this void.  I do not wish this." The young god decided he needed a form.  After several attempts he settled on a form that pleased him.  A deep purple body (To honour the void from which he came)  With four apendedges, two arms, and two legs.  The body was thin and had a head crowning it with long face containing two dark eyes.

Toridas looked around at his surroundings and noticed a curious object in the distance.  Where at first he thought the void was filled with nothing, he spotted a spherical shape.  As he willed it, he was there.  He gazed in wonder at the the spherical stone.  To himself he smiled enjoying the peaceful blackness of the void.
