Well, here I am, first time on this part of the forums, and yes I am the player of Robb King of Alara, I didnt know our conflict was such a huge deal on the forums, so I guess you guys wouldnt mind to know the truth, at least as I see it and as I remember. So here I go, I hope this is not long.
So the three realms were created, for some reason Xavax had three to four times more nobles than the other two realms, in my opinion this shaped the way things developed, once I was elected I did the obvious thing, try to seek an alliance, I mean there is this big realm with a lot of nobles by my side, it was only rational to do it, I offered food and what not. Magnus said he wanted the alliance and that we were friends, I even visited him once in Xavax, still no alliance since the people of Xavax didnt want one or at least that is what Magnus he said, he proposed that Alara declare war on Minas Nova and Xavax was going to declare war on Perleone, I agreed to that but obviously he would have to go first, I mean Xavax was the big guy, he kept pushing me to declare war but I was afraid he was going to backstab me, I would really like to know if that was his intention, maybe we will never know.
Kuriga kept pressuring me to declare war on Minas Nova but I wanted to hold on, when Xavax rejected my alliance I decided to look for new allies and Caligus offered, I accepted since I didnt want to stand alone in this island. Suddenly Kuriga lost it and decided to tell the realm I was wrong, I presented my opinion and the realm chose to protest him out of office, he then was banned and for some reason after being banned he was still able to switch the allegiance of Itor Boss to Xavax, he was received there and Itor Boss was not returned to Alara. He disbanded all the milita in Itorunt before leaving, I gues he wanted to destroy another realm just like he almost did with HD and as he succesfully did with poor Luria Boreal.
Then Selenia came into power and Magnus was gone, Itor Boss still not returned, I grew very weary of Xavax, I knew they were coming so then I decided to start talks with Minas Nova, it was something done in a couple of days, like the player of Saradomin explained it was not a long and convoluted affair, it came to happen very quickly once Xavax declared war, which was their intention all the time, to the person saying I did all in my power to make Xavax declare war on me, I think you are wrong, they took a region from my realm and I did nothing, I did send some abnoxious letters in the ruler channel but I think nevertheless Xavax was intent on coming, but I think JeVondair can clarify this, I mean they didnt build fortification in their cities, all went to recruitment centers which are really really good, those special forces are a pain, so it was obvious they were going to attack somebody and Alara was the best target.
So they came with almost 16k CS, I dont know if they knew but Itorunt had a fortress and like 11k CS in militia, plus our mobile forces, so taking Itorunt was going to be super hard, somebody said it was going to be easy, but no, maybe they could have taken Minas Nova out first, but to take Itorunt was going to take a very very long time, the city could stand alone, I could have raised militia up to 20k CS and will receive enough gold to keep our 4 or 5 members, I could be in the city alone and hold it for quite a long time as long as I could get food that is.
As for the rest, I guess you know, in all honesty in game Xavax is super arrogant, JeVondair really makes a great char with Selenia and how hot headed and determined she is, the judges are something for sure, Toxab and Aramon, again super arrogant characters, well played. As for the bug exploitation, I guess that is lame and it is sad, if you want to take out your desperation of the game then go and rape so peasants like I did lol, but to do stuff like that just degrades the game, I just found out about it. But I do understand how this game can make you go crazy, to be honest I did lose a few night´s sleep with this war, it is hard and sometimes you feel desperate, still no need to exploit bugs and insult other people.
