As I said before, we have attempted to establish contact and will continue to do so. I am on IRC right now waiting for sardonic (or you) to come on. We have been and will be reaching out to solve the situation. This announcement was simply a notice for further raids/attacks to stop while we hash things out. A measure taken because we were unable to establish contact earlier and didn't want our protectorate hurt more unneccessarily.
As it stands, requests have officially been made on both official and individual level to cease attacks. It is up to you to choose wether or not you will enter dialogue with honest intention, or keep raiding and posturing.
