Yeah, I don't think Swordfell's been involved in any wars since it was founded (3+ years ago) until they joined Morek and Arnor to stomp Antiqualia out in Springdale, and now the war declared by Westfold.
I got the same feeling from Morek after Aletha departed. 'hey, we are going to have a war, lets work together!' 'okay, whats up?' *crickets* 'hey guys, need any food while we get ready?' *crickets* *region trades* *many new alliances*
Nothing wrong with backstabbing. More the constant escalation of conflicts into all-or-nothing affairs, especially from players who were patting themselves on the back about how great they were at limited war and how opposed they were to till-the-death conflicts. Eponllyn has surrendered to Perdan/Vix terms multiple times over multiple months; if Perdan/Vix wanted the war to end, it could. But Perdan/Vix have kept asking for more every time Eponllyn agreed to terms, if they haven't surprise-attacked them under guise of peace. Eponllyn cannot force them to stop warring it.
