You took hakai's bait.

 

We know you like the idea of using your strength to bully your way into war against me and Kashmir. It's a shame you don't see the irony of claiming to have the moral high ground here.

 

I have repeatedly stated that I appreciate and respect Kashmir leadership handling of this situation, those statements were sincere. I have repeatedly stated that both alliances did what they had to do. From your perspective, of course you can question our motives, and of course from our perspective we can question your actions.

 

Yes, I would have taken a more cautious path if you were member of a larger alliance. I'm a player and I do look at the cards on the table & in my hand to decide on the story I'll try to tell. Surely y'all are players too and would do exactly the same. Have I been a shark looking to max out my hand? I do that at the poker table, I think I'm not doing that over here. A balanced settlement is all I want.

That's a very contradictory. As you can't on one hand say, if you were bigger we wouldn't have tried anything, and on the other say, a balanced peace is what we want. 

 

You are using your larger national strength to force a settlement in your favor, or you wouldn't have attacked. You can't have a balanced settlement when you're holding a gun to someones head.

If a settlement will be announced, it will be balanced and fair. Both from MHA and Kashmir perspective. That's the goal both leaders are rightfully aiming for.

I'm sorry, you must be confused. Because you're acting like you never attacked an alliance 3-4x smaller than you (while negotiating), in no universe is that balanced, and fair. If they don't reach an agreement you deem "balanced and fair" you will continue to use your superior strength to push what you consider balanced and fair. Unless you're saying that if you don't come to a balance, and fair agreement you will only fight these wars, and no more? 

 

If that's true, I'll apologize. Until then you have moved into the realm of strong arming a smaller alliance to capitulate to what you deem balance, and fair.

Pack it in, folks, an amicable resolution has been reached between Kashmir and MHA. Sorry to disappoint.  :(

 

Roal, go suck a lemon.

Special mention from Sir William again this time direct.

Omg did you not learn your lesson?  Do I need to spank you again?

 

I might as well use this medium to issue the following Proclamation:

 

Helheim declares war on MHA in defense of the awesome Kush bros.

 

Yeah..... I don't see you doing a whole lot, not even worth tech raiding you, but B- for effort.

Unlikely, since you're negotiating from a position of overwhelming strength and you were, in fact, the aggressor. But I'll be happy to wave a paper flag and shout 'Huzzah!' if it means there's one less thin-skinned fop White Knight-ing and making threats when his sensitive widdle feewings get hurt.

Just a nit but it's my experience that that's exactly what one usually needs in order to get a balanced settlement.

I'm just saying, a kind word and a gun works a lot better than a kind word alone.

 

What I am getting at is. If you bring a knife to a gun fight, you send a warning shot at the person, and then decide to talk about a fair/balanced solution; it's not balanced or fair to the other party. 

 

It may work better, and I'm not disagreeing with you. All I'm saying is that it can't by the very definition be balanced, and fair when someone is lording more strength/nukes over you.

If you bring a knife to a gun fight and send a warning shot with it you're better with a knife than I am. :)

 

Seriously, I find that people are much more serious about negotiating when there is a (metaphorical) gun to their head. In fact probably the quickest way to produce a fair and balanced peace treaty is to put a gun to both parties heads simultaneously. If there is no such motivation, many people will simply waste your time with mockery rather than negotiating in earnest.

 

And I disagree with the notion that the circumstances make the outcome inherently unbalanced. The balance of the outcome is not dependent on the way it is arrived at.
