Best Of

While constructive discussion on these sorts of heavy alliance shifts and impactful conflict moments are always welcome in the forums,  I would like to remind everyone that we would heavily prefer it to remain civil. Let's avoid intentionally antagonising anyone or stoking fires, and instead take a few moments to reread before posting to make sure that we aren't cultivating a topic that will solely serve to upset other people. 

Be excellent to each other. If you are already being excellent, carry on. If you are not, I advise you consider doing so.  That is all.

So post IG about it. There's a great public newspost fight going on and you've got plenty of opportunity to say "I told you so" there.

I get to be the guy who says, "I told you so."

That's all I have to say on the matter.

Yeah, if you ever logged in

Re: what Ymuli said, we actually had a complete veto from one Board member on the change. Very firm 'no' - given only a few weeks ago - on now and any future possibilities relating to the idea of changing. Alas, the game being what it is, things changed. They often do. 

 The idea that anyone knew this would happen is absurd, given that if someone had asked me about it four days ago I'd have laughed.

I'm not sure trying to explain reasoning OOCly is needed. Besides I'm not sure who we're trying to convince. Anybody who was around much on Ironhart can decide for themselves regarding excluding Hallifax from things. And the people who weren't in Ironhart don't need convincing.

It was clever timing - minimal people around in the city. As far as 'f you' moves go, it was pretty spectacular. I was only half paying attention due to enchanting, we were very much caught by surprise. Hadn't even seen the news post yet! And guards not hitting was another advantage but in the end, everyone died trying. You were valiantly avenged several times over by our loyal guards! 

I find it very easy to get annoyed ooc about things like this, because me the player is here like 'but but these are liessss how dare they!' But then....it's clever roleplay, and I can't help but admire that even if we copped the brunt. Witty banter on the public forum pleases me so much, it's clever and politics. Will take that any day over shouted, uncreative insults, or death and 'get rekt' sort of responses.

Curious to see what the future will hold. Bold move Hallifax, bold move! The game of chess continues! 

Edit: Meant to clarify, surprised in the moment. There was a pretty long held suspicion that Hallifax were preparing to betray us, it was just a question of when. If there hadn't been plans until last moment, then you guys are good at being shady!   

At this point I'm almost convinced some players have read my notepad file on my character and my planned story beats because a few of them were hit square on the head today.

also oh my gosh the recognise command is delightful let me use it more than once a day

It's rough luck that you died, but one death in ally territory is seriously not a big deal. ONE time during a momentous political event should just be written off to wrong place at the wrong time. I don't want to say that your feelings are unwarranted, it's just how you feel, and that's unfortunate. But ultimately all the people that raided Magnagora died themselves, and it's not like this is going to be a regular occurrence. It was the violent dissolution of your alliance, a one time event.

Me and Nelras were there, too. 

You and one other person died once for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. If there were really newbies that were upset, what you could have told them is that Magnagora repelled the silly invaders, given that we all died. 

It's a conflict game. Sometimes you get conflict.
