    Bah, nevermind.
    grog want tank...Grog Want Tank... GROG WANT TANK!

    The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.

      Just kidding. Don't take the game too seriously, people, it is a game.

        I think this is fun. I think it was worth declaring war just to get these reactions.
        "Do not honour the worthy, And the people will not compete. Do not value rare treasures, And people will not steal. Do not display what people want, And the people will not have their hearts confused. A sage governs this way: He empties peoples minds and fills their bellies. He weakens their wills and strengthens their bone. Keep the people always without knowledge and without desires, For then the clever will not dare act. Engage in no action and order will prevail."-Loazi "The Classic of The Way and Its Powers"

            Betahound admonishes GS members for taking the game too seriously whilst composing a 500 word essay on the subject and GS "crimes".
            I never admonished anyone for taking the game too seriously. Heck - I take my gaming seriously. My sense is that everyone here does too. I objected to the 'personalization' of some of the comments - and I don't think I was alone in that. Even some members of GS concurred with this.

            I find your lies to be irritating. I find your lack of backbone in this propaganda (and war) effort to be far more an impeachment of Voxian-in-game-character.
            Good.

              Well, maybe we can find something to agree on after all...

                Anyway, the only reason I've been arguing at all is Vox's attempt (by Beta) to place blame for this war on GS by flat out lying (the initial claims of cutting roads and such).

                I don't have a problem with warfare. Vox attacked us, hoping to conquer us. That's fine, no big deal. But doing that and trying to convince the rest of the teams that GS actually picked the fight? That's a charge I feel we have to counter.

                After all, if a lie is repeated enough, somebody may start to believe it, particularly if nobody else speaks up about the truth.

                  Then what were you trying to achieve by that?
                  Seriously - I am curious. Put the game aside for a second; what motivated you into posting that? Were you hoping to accomplish something, or was it just for fun?

                    It does sound like Vox thought they would get away with it....but then quickly decided that honesty would be the best policy after the all GS name calling.

                    As an outsider....this issue is the most boring of what has been said.

                    Vox lied...they admit it.

                    Get back to the good old fashioned trash talking

                            It was for fun...just like this game is for fun. "Silver-tongued Beta" was/is fully in his "political game persona" and announced our justification for our actions. It doesn't matter that the justification included bull (Reference: Grog actually moving when he really didn't) - It keeps the game "interesting" to say the least.

                                Jesu Christo... I'm away for a bit, and all the FUN starts!!

                                Weeelllll, let me throw in my two cents:

                                VOXIANS!!

                                Lie, or not.

                                Posture, or not.

                                Politic, or not.

                                None of it matters. You have taken Grog, which, on behalf of my good friend Arrian, I and all of Gathering Storm take as a GREAT offense.

                                Your blood shall run, and your line will end.

                                Here endeth the lesson.
                                The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.
