Right. It would be one thing to say "we are declaring war because we want the land." It is another thing to lie about the situation and make up justifications. Give me a break. Why beat around the bush Vox?

We have at least a clear reason to be at war with Lux uhhh Vox if we see them.

We will be at war because we want them off of the borconian Land.

Our research agreement bore a NAP and was to be cancelled several turns before it was legal to start a war. You have failed to do this and sneak attacked us. Thus, you cheated on us and have proven to be untrustworthy partners. With this attitude, nobody of your team will be welcome in GS after your demise .

Just so we are clear - we have broken a treaty. We have not 'cheated' in the game.

For the first time in this game, yall are being honest. Ironically its about a breaking a treaty.


Its a shame that truthfullness was discovered so late by Vox, on the eve of its demise.

Or, to borrow the immortal (pardon the pun) words of the foreign advisor, "The_One is a known liar and cheat. Deal with him carefully." Edit: We will definitely deal with him.

Lost during this ***-for-tat chestthumping is the loss of one of Gathering Storm's most beloved figures: the Late, Great, GROG. The despicable act of Voxian aggression has snuffed him out, along with his dream of someday riding in his "Tank" (sadly, no one knows what he meant by that, and now perhaps we never shall).

The proud Stormian nation shall mourn our fallen soldier, who bravely volunteered for the most dangerous duty in the land: watching for Voxian invasion. He must have known this was likely to be his fate, yet he proudly answered the call of duty. His bravery shall forever be remembered. And he SHALL BE AVENGED!

He died in his sleep? Is there no end to Voxian villainy? With the power of your forces, I would have thought that you could at least have had the honor to allow him to die in combat rather than assassinating him as he slept.

What, Grog has died? Now that was a mistake, Vox... you just made this war personal to Arrian.

Oh well, as Aeson has already said: we were looking for ways of expanding, it's nice of you to give your land for the good cause. Maybe, just maybe, might we consider keeping the name you have choosen for your former territory as a thanks for the gift you just made.

BTW, If you want to start disbanding your cities now, you can still get out of this without losing too much face. I haven't been to the private forum yet, but I don't think GS will stop this war before either of us are extinct.

Personally I'm appalled by how you behaved, if it wasn't for our kindness, you would have been dead millenia ago, we nursed you into the position you are now in. We even supported you in public in your last invasion of Bob, as friends. And now you backstab us? Bye bye, Vox, really nice to have known you.

I am trying to figure out where the line is being drawn here between trash-talking and pure abusiveness. There is simply no need for comments like "Vox are liars and cheats", etc. etc. Sure, they may have cheated Gathering Storm out of a deal or two, and may have lied one some occasions. I'm not really sure. But this is a game. And remember: all is fair in love and war (in this case, the latter). So direct verbal attacks on a team and therefore their members is simply uncalled for. Telling Vox that they will not be welcome in our ranks is a insult pure and simple. We are all playing this game to have fun, and there is no need to get angry when one team declares war on another.

Please tell me that all the previous Gathering Storm comments were made in the spirit of fun-loving trash-talk. If not, I am appalled that my team is taking this so seriously. It is especially unsporstmanlike to verbally abuse your opponent in a game when you have a clear advantage (which I think we do). Is it not enough that Gathering Storm will prevail that we have to make flatter ourselves by putting Vox down publicly?

Again, let me know if I'm way off track here, I have a funny way of missing the intent behind some threads/posts.

Arrian, I realise that you're own post was in pure jest (I'm not that thick!). I did not want to single anyone out. In general, however, I believe our team could have been a bit more sportsmanlike in reaction to this announcement.

Grog will be avenged, and the unit that destroys the last of Vox's forces will be renamed 'Grog' in His honor (maybe 'Son of Grog', or something equally fitting).
