I'm not sure that anyone in ig or their family quite understands... It is them that are the meatshields. I care not for warring them any longer (at some point it becomes like clubbing baby seals). I want scoutlawz and foxes. Let us have them and we shall show kaw their true colours (again).
I am going to comment on this, because I think it illustrates how people have lost touch in this war.
Let's go back to the beginning. This war started out as a fight between BH and LR over a comment on the forums, so we know why they are warring. During the spat, LR farmed an IG bank. So we know why IG is warring.
The big question is, why are the Regulators warring? It was first suggested that they came to the aid of LR. But no, LR said they never asked the Regs for help and the Regs also said they were never approached by LR. There was some story about IG having too many subclans, but later Wulf said they joined because they just want to OSW, which in my opinion is good as any other reason. After all, it is a game.
Keeping in this in mind, it is hard to see how iG is anyone's meat shield. It's their war after all. If anything, Regs are being meat shields for LR. If LR does not like this characterization, they should ask Regs to leave the war.
Now they Regs have been saying they are no longer interested in hitting iG, but would instead prefer to concentrate on Foxes/Outlawz. Well, why don't you do that then? Make a cf with IG, leave the war, wait a month or two for this war to be over, then start hitting Foxes and see if IG comes to their aid. That seems to make sense to me, at least better sense than constantly hinting at iG to leave Regs alone so they can smack around Foxes.
Personally, I don't think the Regs have good reason to get angry at Foxes for breaking a cf. Foxes just came to the aid of IG vs LR. They did not join to hit Regs specifically. The fact your clans are on opposite sides of an OSW is more coincidence than anything else.
In short, I find it a bazaar comment that iG is being meat shields for anyone. If Regs don't want to hit iG anymore, then stop it, leave this war, let LR take care of themselves (which they originally said they want to do), wait around a bit, and get your revenge on Foxes at a later date. Makes sense to me.
