Authur Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) OCC Edit: I shouldn't try to make grand speeches at 3:40 am. They don't come out quite right. I'll try again after a good nights rest. Edited April 22, 2009 by Authur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Authur Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) I just wanted to publicly clarify why I have chosen this path for the few who have inquired. After I left IRON last night I received several generous offers to join different alliances. I know some tremendous people on all sides of this conflict. It would have been easy to take one and avoid all of this. I could not bring myself to do it though. I have had my share of disagreements with certain former allies but out of love for my alliance and it's members I defended the allies even when I did not agree with them. Some here may consider that foolish, consider it contributing to the state the world exists in now. I will not disagree with them. Every member makes a commitment to defend their allaince and her allies in good times and bad. Right or wrong I honored this commitment during the "good" times I can not bring myself to abandon them during the bad (I have done that once and it will haunt me throughout my days on this world). I do not support the actions that lead us all here but now that it has started I must honor the commitment I have made. I do not know if this was the "right" decision, it is certainly not the smart one, but I will not abandon my personal convictions. Best of luck to those I fight beside and against. If I must die let it be by the swords of honorable men. Edited April 22, 2009 by Authur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heft Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 You have always been one of the best, most loyal and most principled nations I've encountered. Good luck to you. Oh and congratulations on your treaty, web, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to you.Oh and congratulations on your treaty, web, etc. I actually sort of wish now that individual nations (e.g. friends) would make pacts with one another. I'd never really considered it before...but I actually feel more personally connected to someone through a one-on-one treaty than in an alliance-to-alliance treaty (and I've signed my share of alliance treaties). I am especially proud of Authur because he has always espoused honor, loyalty, dignity, and respect and last night, he backed that up.
