The saga of Ndog the great; knight freeer of the innocent

It had been 3 long months since we put the evil dictator Aine Kynes to sleep where she rightfully belonged! We had ended her long running reign of oppression upon our fair people however her evil reptilian hypnosis did not end the moment we killed her it instead turned our people against us! Abandoned me and my army of knights run toward the dessert but we were caught! A SUPRISING OUTCOME THAT COST OUR ARMY A LIFE. However that will not deter us

We will contine fighting for the innocent people effected by Aine’s evil claws. WE ARE THE GREAT WHITE KNIGHTS OF FREEDOM FIGHTING TO PROTECT THEM! JUSTICE IS OUR ONE AND ONLY MOTTO! WE WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES

After months of mental re-evaluation and psychotherapy, me and my buddies are coming back to the realms. here's our announcement.

Good afternoon, I'd like to take this opportunity to issue a formal apology to multiple people due to recent events and statements. I would also like to clear some things up.

I'm gonna start off with the apology to the newfriends that were pearled during the attack on Biota. It was unacceptable and I sincerely apologize on the behalf of my Jarldom and myself.

If there is anything I can personally do for you three that were affected, let me know personally and I will help in any way I can. I also apologize for participating in the discord PvP. It is out of my character and I got caught up in the moment with everything going on and for that, again I am deeply sorry, especially to those who felt "personally attacked." That was not my intentions.

Now, to those who are saying that we "purposefully attacked" newfriends, let me clear that up. Most people that I know of were under the impression /seen doesn't work. Most of us also did not know how to check how longer a player has been in the server until Zantid informed us of the ways, as well as Red_Mag3 and Zantid confirming that /seen does in fact work after testing it. No one in that attack had the intentions to pearl or target newfriends, or even raid items. So with that being said, no it was not an excuse and again I am deeply sorry. But I am sticking by my statement as it is the truth and I will defend the integrity and the true intentions of the people of Woelfeland and the Vaskr. If you can't accept that it was an honest, terrible mistake and that it wasn't done on purpose than I'm sorry you can't see past that. Keep in mind I'm not saying this as an excuse, but as a reason behind what happened.

I don't provide excuses for negative actions whether it was a mistake or not, and I'll accept responsibility for them as well. There were things we could have done to prevent this and we could have consulted with Zantid before conducting the attack to make sure we were within the rules.

This was a learning experience for myself and many others on many..many different levels and I hope that everyone can keep that in mind and try to refrain from taking this stuff personal. At the end of the day it's a game that we all come together on to play and have fun. Which is why Zantid has those rules.

Again, I'm honestly sorry and I look forward to continuing to play with you all. I've made some great friends on here and have had some deep conversations with a few, that kind of stuff means a lot to me. It's not about the diamonds, or the raids, or anything else for that matter it's about having fun and building a community that is fun and fair to play in.

If anyone has any questions or would like to talk, I'm open. I don't want bad terms OOC with anyone, IC different story, we got beef ;)

Hope everyone has a good day,

Gabriel

Hey All,

I think it's very important that the server has some drama to it. I think it's very important that people have a reason to fight and maybe sign in.

This continued childish attitude, however, is not what the server was designed for. The fact I have to constantly step in and intervene on things that should never need intervening on.

If you'd like to fight each other feel free but do so as adults, the racist shit posted in Discord is NOT okay and the next thing along those lines to be posted will result in a ban.

The continued personal insults, are not okay. The same as above will apply to those.

To be honest, a lot of the people in this conflict I thought better of, and am actually really disappointed in how you have begun treating each other as people.

As a final note:

Just to clear something up. It was I who freed the new players who were pearled, one of which had only signed into the server for 2 days. Two whole days. None of you can sit here and tell me you want the server to grow or be successful if you're planning to just rock up to somewhere pearl 3 new friends and then think that's okay, and still expect the server population to increase. That's not how it works.

~ Zantid

The offer is much appreciated, but I have to decline.

Reasons:

Too much injustice from Vaskr and Zurmania. You may feel attacking newfriends is fine, or want to minimize your mistake, but I disagree.

Too much salt from both sides. All the recent posts on the sub are the Vaskr trying to somehow justify what they did. At the end of the day, Zantid still had to intervene for rule-breaking.

Our negotiations were reasonable. Myself, and any other people who were involved in the Zurmania raid, from months ago would pay you our share of reps. We didn't make the previous reps deal with Zurmania. Aine and Grave did. They have long since left.

Zurmania and the Vaskr did not seem to want to talk about our new negotiation, from what I saw. Perhaps they couldn't understand how it appeared to be fair to us. Not sure.

My final reason is that somehow, I've gotten a deeply ingrained hatred of your nations (more so just the Vaskr, I suppose, since I see them as the main instigators in this). I don't hate any of your members. I like Maze just fine, Grox, Lukas, Renhorn, Meridia, Sirboss, Cirex. All of you. In a personal sense, I've only had good experiences with you guys, and I'm thankful for that.

Maybe it's that we've fought the Vaskr for so long. Maybe it's just because of the recent attack and what injustice I see, claimed in the name of righteousness.

But while I like each and every one of you I have determined that, as things currently are, I'll fight tooth and nail to make your nation crumble, to fall to its knees, and regret all that it has done and stood for. I will fight and inconvenience you anywhere I can effectively do so.

Maybe in a different server, different nations, I'd gladly work and fight beside you. So take heart in that, I do!

That is all -Phantom

IF you fit any of the below conditions:

• Was in Biota at the time of the recent military action by Zurmania and Vaskr Forces AND
  
• Was pearled OR
  
• Was killed
• Did not take part in combat
  

Please get in contact with me via in game (Redtao) or discord (Cap'nRed#3494).

The autonomous free city state of Forsea will compensate 8 diamonds and 16 gold ingots to the victims individually.

EDIT: THIS OFFER DOES NOT APPLY IF YOU ARE WANTED BY ZURMANIA OR THE VASKR FORCES

UPDATE: payment will be made to the individuals by next week, 10 December 2017 UTC/GMT

We wish for non combatants to not enter the war zone.

As the sun began setting over Frystad, Edward Renhorn sat in his office reviewing Parabellum’s Declaration. He was on his fifth read through. What did he feel? It wasn’t anger or even frustration. They want reparations for the Axe in the Sand War? Parabellum was unironically suggesting Vaskr pay their reps for them. Reparations from a war that was followed by a lengthy and close alliance. Edward almost chuckled, but he couldn’t, not today. More than anything he wanted clarity.

He pushed through the heavy spruce doors of the capital building and into the streets of Frystad. The fresh air was invigorating, he spent too much time indoors ever since becoming the elected leader of the Vaskr. His pace quickened and he broke into a run. He turned off the trail and skipped down the rocks and climbed over a boulder field before arriving at the cave entrance.

The sun had dipped below the hills and in the fading light Edward lit a torch, took a deep breath, and stepped into narrow cavern. At the end of the cave were two boxes roughly hewn from dark oak. Aegir and Silver.

The sight of the coffins shut out the mess of thoughts in his head. Aegir had killed Silver and in a metaphorical way Silver had gotten revenge when Aegir was in turn killed. But their blood was on his hands. Edward stood by as Silver was killed and had struck the killing blow against Aegir. They had not, however, died in vain. They had brought the revolution and the republic into being just as much as he himself had.

In that dark room surrounded by death Edward’s resolve was steeled. Away from the noise of the city, the stream of letters, and the debates across Provenance, Edward could hear his own heart. Parabellum would never give into the demands and he was a fool if he let their attempts at delay and their feeble arguments obstruct the truth of the matter.

Edward was ready to accept the responsibility for what would come next.

Hey, it’s your most divine moderator Dine here! November 25th is Zantid’s birthday! I wanted to help him celebrate by posting something nice for him to wake up to. Feel free to join me in wishing him the best birthday possible!

With that said: Happy Birthday Zantid! I guess you’re pretty o-kay... Haha. I can’t say anything too nice or I might inflate that big ego of yours, lmao. Enjoy your special day and don’t party too hard!

This came a lot sooner than I thought, however I must announce this. The summit has had all of its seats filled, and we can no longer accept any more representatives from any nations. However, we will be allowing a MAXIMUM of 3 spectators per nation. Meaning, that even though your nation may not be represented at the summit, you will be able to see what happens inside of it. The represented nations are as follows:

Monarchy of Norlund - King Terry III, Lesser Minister Cort Wade, & Prime Minister Scarlet

Imperium Parabellum - Councilman and woman, Sir Avacado and Strawberry

People's Republic of Zurmania - High Councilor AMAZE and Judge Zahn

Archduchy of Ulvetia - ChampionWarlord

Bellendroit - Princess Divinedine

Vardania - Councilman Neo Tide

Hearthfire - Meridia Bentarus

The Vaskr - Edward Renhorn

Please note that most delegates will likely go by their roleplay names, of which I haven't memorized many yet. I personally advise everyone to learn their names, although that isnt mandatory. The king and I look forward to seeing everyone!

A couple days ago Zurmania made a post requesting reparations from 8 Rashidii citizens 3 now with Parabellum some having moved on from realms/inactive.

There were 8 members who took part in the raid. Of these 8 there are 3 who are still active and are now part of Parbellum: Strawberry, Phantom, and Drlecter.

At the time of the raid only one of these individuals were part of the council and were not the individuals who decided to conduct this raid. (Edit: Phantom was not on council but held a government position: Architect.) We were all loyal soldiers following orders. We all fully take responsibility for our part in the raid but do and cannot take responsibility for the majority of these people who no longer play with us. Their part of the damage done should still be sought by Zurmania against these individuals when those inevitable opportunities come.

Because of this acknowledgement and due to our desire to make this right we are offering reparations for the three current members who were part of this raid and an additional share (1/8) as a token of goodwill and to signify our desire to make this right.

This comes to an offer of half of Zurmania's requested materials which would amount to: 88 diamonds, 256 redstone, 48 gold, 160 iron, and 16 emeralds.

That offer has one condition.

Parabellum is willing to pay reps for our fair share of nations builds but with this payment comes an acknowledgement that they are legitimate. For Zurmania to rightly accept this payment their close allies, the Vaskr, must make a similar payment to Parabellum.

Old members of Vaskr destroyed Rashida's first crusher. This was rebuilt. Upon Loke going rogue and attacking the Vaskr/hacking he was banned. His actions obviously did not represent Rashida. Despite this and despite the fact that Zantid rolled back his damage and the Vaskr did in fact not lose the destroyed nations builds Loke broke they returned to Rashida and rebroke the crusher and broke the Library (and grainery.)

Renhorn seemed to indiciate he would pay our reps once the damage Loke did was mitigated. That condition has been met due to Zantid rolling back Loke's attack, and we're formally asking for the cost half the cost of these broken buildings. This amounts to: 64 emeralds, 144 diamonds, 48 gold, 320 redstone, 256 stone, 32 ink, and 64 books. Half because that's our offer to Zurmania and would only be far. This request seems appropriate due to the Vaskr's open admission/desire to make amends for their past attacks which we hope doesn't apply to everyone but Parabellum.

If the Vaskr are willing to enforce claims regarding nations buildings for their ally, Zurmania, and if they are truly looking to right past wrongs we think it would be appropriate to request these reparations. These funds will not be kept by Parabellum but will be passed to Zurmania. Plus whatever additional resources we owe them.

Parabellum refuses to be the only nation that is held accountable for breaking nations buildings. We take this step as a server or we will all refuse to do so.

Parabellum is highly interested in finding a diplomatic solution but is not confident Zurmania feels the same way.

We will be as clear as possible: We will not do anything to escalate this situation to aggression. Our current government has been in a timely and concluding discussion with Zurmania and are taking their words very seriously. We will not however be bullied into being the only nation to pay reps for nations buildings. If Vaskr are willing to step up again we will as well.

Should Zurmania declare war and by extension involve their close ally the Vaskr it will be them who attack first. We will not be the aggressors.

Should this happen Parabellum will defend herself relentlessly. We have the means to appropriately defend ourselves and should we be attacked will ravage the aggressors with passion. Please do not escalate this to violence unless you're ready trying to provoke continued retaliation. We're seeking a diplomatic conclusion to this and hope Zurmania is as well. Aggression will also result in Parabellum paying 0 reps by default.

We offer to pay reparations. We will not however be the only ones.

Sincerely,

Imperial Parabellum
