War Rules

[MS - Meaghan Smith]

Sounds like a lot of people want to stay at home where only assassination can get them and then hide behind a large RP defense pool.

Let's see...I have a sword (which I usually hold by the right end...but not always), no spells, no thieving abilities, a near fatal allergy to bleeding --- yeah, I'm a gonna hide behind lots of soldiers and RP

Simple. If a realm doesn't go to war, it profits off of everyone else's wars. That's what neutrality is all about!

[WM - The Waste Mage]

But if everyone else is at war then war was inevitable.

[TH - The Hunt]

It doesn't count if you're not involved (yet).

Kind of like how it's not a party until you arrive, except instead of a party, it's a war.

[WM - The Waste Mage]

You said I thought war was inevitable. If someone else is warring then there is war whether I am involved or not.

[WM - The Waste Mage]

OR did you mean War with me or war with you specifically because that should have been clarified after what I said before that about lots of people hiding behind RP defense pools which pertained to 'in general' rather than 'specific'.

Fascinating rabbit hole....

[WM - The Waste Mage]

There are a lot of confusing tangents that take place in talking to her and not just with me. I am looking for the Rosetta stone because she writes well and spells well and there might be hidden genius in her train of thought if I can just decipher it.

[TH - The Hunt]

'Sounds like a lot of people[, meaning at least one or two of you,] want to stay at home where only assassination can get them and then hide behind a large RP defense pool[, instead of dying on the battlefield in the wars I assume you'll be engaged in, including the one I implied or assumed I'd be directly engaged with].'

'Sounds like you're assuming war [with you, from us, or involving any realm in particular,] is inevitable[, or in other words, that you believe every regent will be marked for death by another, or face them across the battlefield, sooner or later]. Not that I'd bet against it... but then, that's mostly because it doesn't make much sense to bet when anyone can [start a war or make an enemy at random just to prove the point].'

Blech.

I tried Neutrality before. It gets you burned.
