Right.

Jokes are typically funny.

Yeah, that's one of those classic self-fulfilling prophecies. If you hadn't been all chatting about how best to get the drop on Luria before we attacked you (or whatever; I don't remember the exact substance of the messages leaked), Luria wouldn't have attacked you.

(Then. At some point, yeah, we almost certainly would have, but it probably wouldn't have had to happen right then.)

Regardless of the timing, it was coming one way or another.

Arrogant I'll grant you, and Chénier has a tendency to spin propaganda until he believes it himself, but Vellos is usually pretty much on the level when he's OOC.

If you really believe that at this point, then you've got some problems, mate.

All I said was D'Hara and Machiavel's stances on Glaumring's actions. I fail to see how I can be incorrect.

I can be arrogant and condescending, sure. And sometimes I tend to use hyperboles. But I can't think of anything I expressed in this thread to be incorrect or a lie.

Yeah, but the reason it happened when it did was your somewhat clumsy attempts to prepare for it.

Yeah; I don't think there's any of that excessive propagandizing going on from your side here. It's happened in the past, though ;D

Leaks of D'Haran preparations led to a Lurian mobilization. Oops.

Happened while I was gone, I believe. From what I gathered, it did indeed sound rather clumsy and foolish.

Machiavel slips every now and then, but he tended to be careful with these things, forging friendships, pacts, and various agreements without formulating these in such a way as to make it sound aggressive if leaked to the Lurias.

Still, it had to happen one day or another. And I'm quite amazed by how D'Hara has performed, even much moreso considering it gets no aid whatsoever from the rest of the 'moot. I'm actually kind of happy they did this sloppy scheming, it allowed to unblock some latent conflicts and perhaps will lead to a real change to happen for once. The armed battles is a novelty in itself. Imo, the tensions that had been going on between the Lurias and D'Hara weren't much fun and unlikely to ever end. The timing sucked for us, but at least it doesn't seem all that bad.

Since its already been announced to half the world, lets make it official on the forums as well.

Lady Alura Aurea, Chief Magistrate of Terran, and Lord Rynn JeVondair, Prime Minister of D'hara are to be forever known as husband and wife from this day forth! This is the first time in history that two rulers have been wed (that I could find), it is a historical moment for Dwilight and the 'Moot!

</yay>
Old (Deleted) Aurea family= Alura (Ruler/Marshal-Terran); Alekhthaeos (Arcaea); Ehndras (Riombara); Vvaros (Arcaea); Magnus (Xerarch-Xavax); Alekhsandr (Marshal/Hero-Fissoa); Decimus (Warrior-Sandalak); Khets'aeïn(Assassin-Riombara)

This account is no longer in use. New account vaguely under wraps.

Not in BM. Nor on Dwilight, I believe, but maybe I'm just thinking of ruler/high government member marriages.

The immediate example that comes to mind is the marriage between Retravic Stefanovic, Queen of Republic of Fwuvoghor and Hireshmont Vellos, King of Irombrozia.
Born in Day they knew the Light; Rulers, prophets, servants, and warriors.
Life in Night that they walk; Gods, heretics, thieves, and murderers.

I honest to god just hope Glaumring is the most legendary troll in the history of the internet.

Otherwise, well, I just don't know anymore.
