[/quote] I'll just point out that it is not in Archon's or CnG's interests to portray an objective description of events, lest they not be able to persuade more alliances to peace out so they may better destroy 'TIFDTT'. All his post really reads to me is the various talking points I've heard everywhere, compiled into one verbose speech in which he makes sure to depict us as Hegemoinc cronies picking on innocent do-gooders. This war does not have to be won to be ended, in my opinion. I think both sides have sustained enough damage that they would be willing to see things end if a reasonable solution were proposed; but pursuing this war until one side is destroyed will have near as bad consequences for the other side.

Get it through your skull. As stated in my blog post, C&G is a brotherhood that was forged under the threat of disbandment yet they are still there. They will continue to be there and the allies that have signed on with said alliances will continue to be there to support them. Oh well, at least we don't have you running around claiming you predicted the future in this conflict. Very good speech Archon.

Either TOP was right to assume CnG would rush to assist its allies, making their attack a legitimate preemptive defensive effort, or TOP was wrong to assume CnG would assist its allies, in which case you are dishonorable. So, which one is it? @OP: I agree that the TOP offer of white peace is rather silly. Everyone knows we can't have a [s]Hegemonic curbstomp[/s] brave Karma crusade without Draconian terms, right?

Archon admitted as much in saying efforts were stepped up to resolve that conflict upon hearing the news (that top/iron would enter). Had TOP/IRON not entered CnG themselves would've entered shortly thereafter, and then TOP/IRON would've had to enter defensively. Exactly the situation they were trying to preempt...
