Have you read Annus Mirabilis?!? The greatest crime of an artist is to whore their art out for the lies of the ruling party. Dryden was their puppet. He wrote political poetry. And the only reason a la mode was good was because he practically copied other cooler writers and celebrities of the day.
UPDATE I have been hearing rumours that there may be some ceasefire talk underway. I won't say who requested what, becasue I don't want to interfere. However if anyone knows details, please pm me.
@ Phil The only reason to PM the details of CF talks (assuming they are on going, which I have no idea about) is if the person wants to derail said conversations. Secret settlement talks are "secret" for a reason. As this is a war thread, what is you favorite battle of the American Civil War?
The one where all those White guys and black guys said to the other white guys "I don wit yo ****" and they were all like pew pew pew pew with their guys but the other white guys were all like pew pew cuz
I like how when I type up something that seems kinda racist is when my phone decides to actually make a post on my first try.
@Lor. I've always been fascinated by the battle of Petersburg. I think that's the one where the Union engineers dug a trench underneath the Confederate lines and planted a bunch of dynamite.
Update: Having gotten contacted a bit about the war, I have learned that while communication is indeed taking place between the clans involved, there is no indication a cf will happen anytime soon.
We were contacted by a member of iG looking for a personal CF due to RL issues. The discussion spread to the possibility of a complete CF. We explained that our side sees two wars. 1) iG and allies 2) Foxes, Outlawz, VooDoo (who were not allies with iG prior to the war and infact one of which was allied with Alpha prior to the war). iG considers Foxes and OutDoo as allies now and, in spite of their dubious reasons for joining the war, stated that they could not accept a CF that did not include them as well. To us, these are two separate wars and iG cannot negotiate peace for both wars. iG felt this was unacceptable. So we both politely told each other to kick rocks and went back to warring. A side note, iG council did contact me later to inform me that the person whom I had this discussion with was not iG council and did not have permission to speak on their behalf. I assured her that it was not a formal discussion of CF and that neither of us asked for it. It just came up in conversation. Hope that clears it up.
@Wulf - There was no "dubious" reasoning in our decision to join the war. I can give you insight into our reasonings, it isn't that hard. *whisper* We simply like to war. I hope that helped
Foxes do not like to war. If they did, joe_ would not have folded so quickly last round. We see foxes as a separate war. Joe_ was given a 24h grace period to opt out, and the cf break would be ignored. He never replied, thus regs will continue to war foxes even after a cf/ victory is reached on the current war. I apologise if your not feeling the love, my dear foxes. It will come eventually. You are not a target at this current point. I suggest you spend the time building banks. However, suspect you feel you need to redeem yourselves far to much to take the time to prepare. We made our intentions clear upon foxes entry. We will not stand down on them.
