Hi All,
Firstly, please let me apologize for my lack of civility, it was unecsessary. This whole thread is unsettling really as, conversely, it seems to me that a small group of players are using this rule to attempt to gain strategic advantage IG. When this story line first began Marecs only goal was to bring back IVF and to right the wrongs they had carried out under the rule of his nemesis. Throughout the past few months Riombara fought against multiple nations in a war to reclaim those lands and their intention was never to see the fall of Enweil. Look at all the IG messages which will show this clearly. They had no intention of declaring on Nothoi and certainly no desire to hold a huge amount of land they would struggle to populate.
The players of the opposition chose to guide their characters into a war against Riombara and refused to accept the re-establishment of IVF which sat in Iato and Fheuvenem. It has always been made clear that this was the goal of Marec and Riombara, that these lands would be taken and IVF recreated here. The path the opposing players took led to the utter destruction of Enweil and left Nothoi exposed. Again that was NEVER the intention of myself and as far as I am aware the other key players within Riombara for our characters. What we are seeing now is the purpose of this war being finalised as Riombara is achieving its aims along with Marec and the realisation of those opposition players is that they are about to see their time investment into their IG achievements to date flushed down the drain. It has created an emotive response and they have used the only tools left in the box to try to avoid the inevitable, this complaint.
This is a fantastic game, but it is just that, a game with winners and losers. Part of the joy is that it reflects real life on many occasions and the highs IG really cant be truly appreciated until you have had a few lows, but in this instance I strongly feel that those people experiencing the low right now, well, theyre trying to spread the pain a little with this insubstantial complaint.
