I rarely do press releases, especially in forums, so don't expect too much in the way of discussion here.
To those who say "Is this still going on?".
Well of course. Its a war game. Its fun and it doesn't keep us from doing anything we like within KAW. Our alliance makes more gold than is stripped from us (this can easily be verified by looking at EB histories). Stealing our enemy and attacking epic battles covers pot costs, strips, and even enough gold some can continue to upgrade. Our alliance enjoys the new EE system with an endless supply of mithril for war efforts and for buying the latest in war equipment fashion. On top of that all we seem to average 20t a week in strips without denting banks.
To those who don't like "how we war"
….I got nothing. We never took your feelings into consideration when we implemented it. Our bad. I hear the Red Coats were pretty unhappy when their opponents warred in ways they didn't like too.
To those saying we are asking for a CF.
SS or it didn't happen. First and only discussion about a CF came out of a PM contact where an IG member reached out to us because she may have needed to take time off KAW and wanted to discuss a personal CF. That spilled into a minor and unofficial discussion about a full CF which ended when iG would not accept our terms. We have a pretty long history of not asking for a CF.
To those saying we are warring over a "Vendettas"
Regulators have no vendetta. We war to protect ourselves and our allies.
There is a rumor that we are out to destroy Foxes and demand that they disband.
Our war council has not demanded that anyone disband. Honestly we haven't given enough consideration to Foxes to ask anything of them.
We only stated that we could not accept a cease fire from them as we do not believe they will respect it. (this is our opinion, whether you agree or not)
Foxes & OutDoo were not allies of iG before this war. They attacked us without provocation a mere five weeks after suing for peace. As such we see their attack on our alliance as a rejoining of the previous war.
Therefore it is our opinion that these as two wars must be negotiated separately.
Our opponents do not agree with us so we respect their opinion on this point and continue to war.
To the Regulators and our allies,
Thank you for your dedication and support. It goes without saying in our alliance but I will spell it out here for all to see. We do not threaten or make demands of our members or allies. We respect and reward loyalty with fierce support. However should any of our allies feel the need to depart from our alliance, and this war, they may do so without fear of being farmed, threatened, or belittled. Our alliance is based on respect, trust, loyalty, and support not fear or peer pressure. That's how we roll.
