    Hey Vel,

    nice to hear from you once again.

    I can say that there is some truth in what you say. There was some animosity amongst some members of other teams due to GS recruiting techniques. I think you overestimate their numbers, though, since those who were the most concerned with your team were the most vocal as well.

    So, yes, there are those that felt you were a threat, or at least the favorites in this game from the beginning. I, however, feel they are a minority, not a majority.

    Personally, I have stated several times that I never considered them a threat from the beginning.

    No, I have stated that I would prefer nothing more than to defeat GS at this time. This is true. Why? For reasons in and out of game.

    In game GS has the strongest military. They have seen fit to bring that military onto Bob. This military has a secured base on Bob. I can think of nothing more glorious in game than defeating this military. Led by some of the most brilliant tactical minds on Apolyton.

    Out of game, GS has made it a point of taking the high ground on every issue to date. What's more, they have made it a point of letting everyone KNOW it's the high ground. While I have nothing against a 'holy', 'honorable' or 'moral' team in and of itself, one that sees fit to canstantly remind me of that fact grates on my nerves.

    I have been told through PM that this is/has been some roleplaying. Great! I choose to roleplay too. Therefore when I state this Lawfull Good Team sickens me and I would prefer nothing more than to kill this team, it is no different from my attitude of purposely hunting down and killing any Paladin I meet in a D&D game.

      Ooh - assigning D&D characters classes to PtWDG Teams, are we? Sounds like fun!

      How about a Lawful Neutral Bard for RP?

      And I'm thinking a Chaotic Evil Barbarian for GoW.

        Vox is in my Opinion in a much less likely position to win the game than ND is. Lux is out of the game and they realy did a splendid good job with pissing us on thje very first few turns...
        As for spain I can hardly belive that they will rise to great power again. I do not belive that they could become more than a Vasall to GS anymore.

          Hiya UnOrthOdOx, and good to see your voice added here as well!

          Yep...by now, I think the folks who began their comments in this thread by stating that it just wasn't so have seen some pretty good evidence to the contrary....we've had folks come here and say that this is, in fact, a thought in their head and/or the thoughts in the heads of some of their team mates.

          That, plus the fact that our team has taken casualties because of it, taken together with the above, more than proves the point, IMO.

          That feeling is out there, and has nothing to do with game mechanics.

          As for the role playing angle....some are, undoubtedly. The views in my letters, however....no role playing there. The views expressed are exactly my views on the war, and are my guiding principles as I help formulate strategy.

          If that view chaffes you, then you have my sincere apologies, but it does not change the way I see the war.

          If you seek our destruction....our undoing, I think it safe to say that as the war grinds on, you shall have ample opportunity to do so, for we will not abandon Spain to your wrath.

              Ah....and to those who believe that Spain will never again be strong....all I can say is watch and see....Viva Espania!

                Hard to say - ND is so quiet. Maybe a Monk? Definitely Lawful, but I'm not sure about Evil. If I had to guess, I'd say Neutral.

                      Uh.... wasn't it ND that attacked Trip's Ass and GoW that backstabbed him?

                      Remember, Trip's ass was trashed even before Trash Trip's Ass could get to it

                        It depends on what you call backstabbing. I believe ND was fully aware of our military capabilities at the time (2 horsemen that would not get to the main fight in time). We did help on a clean-up attack though.

                        And Sir Ralph, I don't know if it was my post you had responded to but I'm sorry if TTTTTTA has offended anybody... I didn't mean to and it was in the spirit of fun, just like the original TTA name

                        edit - was it Trash Trip's Ass or Trip Trip's Ass? I forget...

                          It was Trash Trip's Ass, and it got changed ASAP. I did not feel that targetting any team because of the people involved would be a very good thing to do for the community. Hmmm, I guess I was right.

                              IIRC it was just for fun, I don't hold it against GS and I'm wondering why they hold it against themselves

                                Are you looking for some reason or excuse in case GS does not win the game ?
                                If so, I think you have missed the point.

                                Just because some players admit that GS was the team to watch, does not directly translate to some preconceived plan that all the teams were out to get you.

                                The only players who claim this is the case are GS members. It seems no matter how often it is denied, GS still want to cling to the idea that “Everyone is against us”

                                Please leave room for a line of thought that current in-game hostilities are based solely on GS diplomacy and military action.
