Back on subject:
I start wars for two reasons mostly:
A) Some MRA recruits an entire ocean (or oceans) and gets in my face about one of my members farming one of their members on the same island. Duh, what do you expect to happen? Domestic matters are domestic matters. Make it an alliance matter and I will send my legions!
B) Poaching attempts
The Unknowns and The Union were gross offenders of both (a) and (b). This is why they barely exist. Paragon crushed them for their idiocy.
Dragon Jumoon, appointed leader of the now defunct "The Unknowns", tried to poach Paragon members after offering me an "unconditional" surrender this week. He then withdrew the surrender after a few days and sent me an inappropriate message. I won't report it because I laugh at such messages and send armies in reply.
Does he really think my best men will join him after we've spent the past two months serving them up defeat after defeat? Does he think for one second that buying himself a few days with a false surrender will make a difference? I'm on vacation mode because a few days makes no difference. To do something so desperate to buy a few days makes me chuckle. All I need to do is login and send my entire fleet. His capital city (Anvil) falls at my discretion. It only takes a few clicks!
He accuses me of having no honor. He could not be further from the truth. He spouts this lie to inspire his men. For each finger he points, three more point back at him. Dragon was appointed out of necessity rather than desire and is using underhanded tactics in an attempt to save his alliance. Luckily I have a dozen spies so it takes about five minutes to figure out his stupid plan.
Dragon dumped plenty of members on Asgard. I don't care if the players change labels. It won't save 'em, it'll just start another war and take down some good players because of a stupid diplomatic acquisition.
I encourage him to step forward here and make his case about my "lack of honor". I see a coward and a desperate man. Even on a bad day, Paragon's top five members could take down The Unknowns in it's entirety.
