Roleplay: Lord Dabington meets with several of his councilmen who warn him of troubling raids in Ireland that may soon head East to harass the heart lands of England. Although the lord rests upon a sizeable treasure hoard, the infastructure of his county is in need of updates and new construction. The lord disperses his standing troops to several townships to oversee construction while keeping his elite retainers in the capital of Dabington to defend against any potential attacks. Within a few days a unit of mixed infantry is sent to both Elmwood and Umbridge with enough finances to construct buildings there. Farmers in Littleton are also given permission to expand their lots and are requested to come to Dabington for subsidized tools and finances to aid with the construction. Summary of Actions: Place 1 mixed Infantry in Elmwood, Place 1 mixed infantry in Umbridge. Construct mines in the Elmwood hills (150), Construct Trade post in Umbridge (150), Construct 2 Farms in Littleton (400), Construct Trade post in Littleton (150). Remaining Gold (150). Projected Income This Turn: Population (335) – Maintenance [1xHeavy, 2xMixed] (110)= Gross Projected Income= +225

Application Culture: Anglo-Saxon Religion: Christian County Name: Dabington Brief History: The Dabington family stretches back many generations and the current generation believes that their ancestors have always posessed the land on which they now reside. Several ambitious counts have arisen in the past and expanded their territory and influence only for their successors to lose it once more after their deaths. Ruler Family: The Dabingtons -Crown Ruler Reginald Dabington -Crown Consort Alice Dabington -Crown Prince/ess N/A -Prince/ess James Dabington, Reginalds first child, he is currently 8 years old. He is a bastard son of Reginald but that is not public knowledge. Alice is aware of this fact but acts as if the boy is her own. Although she loves him well, she has refused to bear any children unless or until she discovers who the boys true mother is. Possible Internal Rivals (Please name 3) 1.) Mayor of Umbridge, a popular town within Dabington that pledges loyalty to the Count but often acts autonomously. 2.) Arthur Dabington, step brother of Reginald with a weak claim on power but ambitious nonetheless 3.) Victoria Dabington, Reginalds step mother, Arthur’s mother, widow of Reginald’s father Alexander. She was Alexanders second wife.

Seems fine to me, I don’t know why blue’ish hair would be an issue. Even though none of the elder clans have that hair color the fact that the clan has mixed blood seems like good enough reason for the unusual hair color.

((The "peace treaty of jornheim" was not a signed treaty and if I remember correctly came about before there were even alliance and treaty rules. And even if it were, all terms were met and finished. There is no way it could be used as a casus belli.

The only reason the dwarves were involved in the alliance at all was because we thought the Dominion was pushing it. You're right that this is confusing, because I was under the impression that the Dominion was taking the lead and declaring it. It would be good to have a GM help discuss this, but I think we'll need to wait for a war chat.

((Thank you. So obviously it's even backed up by the Dominion now that the entire post was invalid, so you can't hold the signatories accountable, even if it were a valid reason for a revenge cb.

But the Dominion and Haense are closer too :/. That argument doesn't hold up.

Obviously you're only attacking az'adar based on your OOC hatred of Josh. Josh wasn't even the major signatory on that thread, the Dominion and Haense were, followed by Ord. It doesn't make any sense that you would be attacking az'adar rp'ly, especially since az'adar was the last important signature on that thread. This warclaim is entirely based on OOC, and all of your arguments still don't change the fact that the Domion declared the war and got everyone else involved, you ended the war with the dominion, and none of the revenge casus belli's are applicable to az'adar. The only feasible application of the revenge casus belli would be against the Dominion, who you have already made peace with.

The Elves declared the war, so, I don't see how any of those casus bellis could be valid against anyone else, and you already made peace by making a non-agro pact with them anyway, effectively ending any "war" that ocurred. And you can't say it was Fid who did it, since taufire is the one who signed the post and was leading the war. Get some real cbs and I won't complain.

((Posting as an affiliate of azadar . Considering that the elves declared the "war", I don't think any of those casus bellis are valid against anyone but the dominion, and considering that the declaration of "war" was actually an alliance post with the only justification being a quote taken out of context from an alliance post, and considering that no warclaim was ever posted meaning there was never any war, I don't see how this could be considered a valid warclaim.

Rip dwarves

That might have been the case except for the fact that that NOTHING has come out of that raid. It's not conflict to promote a narrative or advance the plot, it had nothing to do with rp. The only reason it happened was for pvp's sake, no other reason than that. It would have been different if there were building tensions coming to a head between two disputing factions, but that was not the case. It was literally pvp for no other reason than pvp, and it went nowhere, and in fact, several of the members that perpetrated the raid have been banned recently for reasons that prove they had no intention of actually creating rp or advancing any narrative. Pvp is meant to be a means of resolving conflict between large groups of players, conflict however, is not supposed to be generated on a whim simply to scratch someones itch to left-click. People frequently and disrespectfully abuse the system on our server that allows for pvp simply to fight other players with pvp mechanics, not to serve any rp purpose and it is destroying our server. At least during wars you can actually identify the people who are coming to pvp you and see it as a form of escalating the conflict between two nations, but in the case of the raid on Holm, and almost every other pvp interaction that has ocurred this Summer, pvp has happened meaninglessly and has been perpetrated for no reason by groups of ragtag players that can't even be indentified as belonging to a faction or organization. In my opinion, there will need to be changes to the raid rules that only permit them when they're justified.

Winning PvP isn't the issue, the issue is that the attack in the room served no narrative and completely derailed an important moment for around 30 people in attendance, essentially spitting in the face of your posted essay and everything it promotes for no other reason than a handful of people's ooc need to pvp.

Considering the raid on Holm today I don't think I can consider this post as it seems to be intended

Going to reply as a leader of az'adar, I'm not sure how we're implicated in this
