I will just ask, please... PLEASE... continue attacking Trinbar. I did my characters defending that walls against the continent.
Then its clear that the southern alliance goes to war for Atanamirs "not that brutal reasons". There is certain achievement there, Atanamir is making half of the continent go to war for his personal reasons. I applaud that!
In game, you vote for or against a character, not people. If you're voting for people, then that 95% of your problem right there.
Sure. I bet there is an undeniable and logical explanation to desire the killing of the elves.
I believe the sole reason for people to hate the elves, is because they are unique. Sirionites are the only ones in the game allowed to play elves, and despite what Tom said about the only elves in the game are those chars created before idk which year (which i heavily disagree with), many people plays their chars as elves, because they are Sirionites, and they live in the realm of the elves and that really produces anger among the others, anger probably related to the envy about not been allowed to play the char as other thing than a human. This means that the elven hate comes from OOC reasons? I definetely believe so. Can be transformed into IC reasons? I definetely believe so. Persecutions of other races, ideas, religions have been part of our history, why wouldnt be something valid inside the game?
Its the best reason people had so far to war Sirion... the extinction of the elves.
Sirion defends its kind, while the southern alliance wants to make a genocide of the elven race.
Take it, is ten times better than invent the kidnap of a King like Westmoor once did.
The point of bringing it to the forums is to try and increase awareness of the situation, and see what can be done, in aggregate, to alleviate the situation. Discussing something between 5 or 6 people, when you're trying to make changes that affect the entire game as a whole, is pretty pointless. I'm not trying to change anything for Eponllyn. It will live or die based on what happens IG, not what happens on the forum.
2/3rds of the island has publicly declared they desire to not just beat up Sirion, but slaughter each and every last one of them, and replace the entire realm with "human kingdoms", or something like that.
Atanamir. This will be the last time i have the misfortune to read one of your illogical, fallacy ridden posts. Every thread you post in has its matureness reduced to that of a seven year old crying about not being able to eat desert before dinner. From this point on you will be ignored, and anyone with any sense will do the same.
You think Eponllyn didn't try? Perdan, and specifically the character of Atanamir, has cockblocked Eponllyn at every turn. And now when Eponllyn finally gets to move our home while keeping the realm's continuity (ie, not joining another realm to fight for them in the hopes we can colonize a new area because we know how well that works out historically in BM, especially on EI), its Perdan/Atanamir being the same old tyrants as when Eponllyn was upset about King Nigel's intervention and threats in Fallangard/Armonia/Eponllyn. If you as a player really wanted Eponllyn to have 'had more of the share' perhaps you would've let us figure that out on our own between us three instead of throwing your military/diplomatic weight around?
I'm not saying Sirion was innocent in this time either, all they wanted was to use Eponllyn for its aims too, but in light of the glacier they were a lot more gracious to us than 'join us and hope you get a new realm in the future, but lose the old realm in the process and likely never get it in the end because players lose interest, times and priorities change, and Perdan just uses the characters for its ends without any real care for Eponllyn'. Seriously, the realm was somewhat neutral still until the last week character Atanamir/Perdan pushed Eponllyn straight into Sirion's arms. You praise character Atanamir's diplomatic skill, but if anything this has proven there is no diplomacy in character Atanamir, just threats, betrayal, lies, and tyranny.
The only reason we're 'in your way' is because you're deciding we're in your way. It is not Eponllyn saying 'come at us SA', its SA insisting there's no other way than to attack Eponllyn. Seriously, with all Atanamir's spies, did you miss the part where we were discussing only insisting on being a buffer/not allowing SA/NA to travel through our new lands?
I'll take a page from your book on this one: "I never called anyone a "brainless drone". I didn't name anyone, you're taking this all too personally. I'm not insulting anyone."
And yeah, I did post something similar to the way I started this thread. And if you'll note from that post, and from this one here, I'm not the only one that feels this way. If it was just me, then sure, sour grapes, one random nutjob, whatever... But it's not. That prior post was written following an OOC message from the EC ruler's channel where the rulers of EC were bemoaning the fact of how EC was turning into a sucky place. (And I didn't start that conversation, either.) I stand by what I said back then. And nothing has changed.
Moving past all that, convince me that I'm wrong. Convince me that events on EC are not now where anyone could have predicted they would be, one year ago today. (Again, making allowances for the ice age event.) IC letters just point out how lock-step everyone is marching. I tried to break things up, and just got locked out. Yes, I failed to split things up, and effect some change to the political landscape.
It is quite entertaining to hear Atanamir say no one can fight Sirion 1v1. When Perdan had just as many players as Sirion they still brought their underlings along. So don't try to come up with some petty excuse.
Sirion has the most amazing defensive line ever seen. Even better than Astrum did on Dwilight.
And, yeah, sometimes you get a lot of negativity. Every time a ruler makes an important decision, they will *always* get negative attention. No matter which way Eponllyn went during this recent crisis, someone would have been screaming and yelling at me for doing the wrong thing. Same thing happened when we went to war with Armmonia. Or when we took Betholm. You have to realize that part of a ruler's job is to take that negative attention, and try to do something positive with it.
I agree that more realms = better game. But merely saying that "any duke can fix it" is a bit disingenuous.
Really? You have to bring IC insults on to the forum to attack the players?
In EC, I can tell you, we don't have a Northern Alliance. But that will happen because of the Southern Alliance.
The low player count is what got us to where we are.
I really hope it isn't just a joke that leaves people with a bunch of adventurers because that's a sure fire way to aggravate people who paused otherwise useful characters, lost units, lost positions, for nothing.
Does anyone think that the EC has an exciting, dynamic political landscape? Honestly, I can't fathom why I ever wanted to be a ruler on EC again. This is the most boring landscape possible. Everyone know what side everyone else is on. And if you ask someone their opinion, you already know exactly what they're going to say. Everyone knows what the battle lines for the next war are going to be. There's no point in talking to anyone about it, because they all have their minds made up. There's no audience to play too, since there is no audience. Everyone is an actor reading from a publicly available script they refuse to change.
What the hell happened to the EC? It used to be my favorite island.
I are disappoint.
I thirded Indirik's statement. It used to be my favorite continent, I have heard about Northern Alliance, Central Alliance and Southern Alliance. Now it is just a big two camps, of which the following sentence best describes the scenario "if you are not with us, you are against us".
