Comments on Honour

Being noted for honour by a Darkan is like being noted for beauty by an ape. --Habap 16:42, 2 January 2007 (CET)

Carelia's ban on infiltrator attack

Concerning the claim that Carelia's actions may have been a jab at Redspan's, I highly doubt it. It's been an unwritten rule on Atamara for as long as I remember that rulers are not to be the target of infiltrator attacks, even if at war. No one else gets such immunity. - Filador

From a curious observator, it may be intriguing to note how different rulers respond to the same situation. Kronos said, "As I said, we handle our cases as we wish others to do." Interpret it how you will. Jezralhm 10:03, 8 January 2007 (CET)

Funny that I've been playing on Atamara for over 3 years and that's the first I hear that there's some unwritten rule that rulers are not to be stabbed :) As far as I'm concerned, any noble in a realm you're at peace with is off limits and violators should be met with a ban, but that's just me. - LilWolf 11:09, 8 January 2007 (CET)

The reason you have only just heard of it is because it dosen't happen very often. I remember one time when an infil successfully attacked a ruler (during war) and that nearly brought down half of the continent on that one realm. You only have one or two cases like this, usually some new guy who dosen't know the rules, or an opportunist that thinks he can take his chances. Then again on the other hand if you have some one like "The One" who claims to be a ruler, but actually isn't, then the rule is usually wavered. ScottSabin 11:41, 8 January 2007 (CET)

Hostilities

Was Darka at peace with Redspan? I had thought they never got above neutral. - Filador

Darka has been at war with RedSpan since November 17th (see this). Jezralhm 22:02, 16 January 2007 (CET)

At the time AJ stabbed Mr_Jones, Darka and RedSpan were at peace. Relations deteriorated since then. - LilWolf 23:26, 16 January 2007 (CET)

The current war has failed to generate any of the heat noted in Darkanism. One might even call it a cold war. Darka is apparently waiting until someone else decides to fund their adventure, deeming honour not enough reason to actually carry out a war. --Habap 00:16, 17 January 2007 (CET)

Debating with anyone from RedSpan is getting quite old already. You have your own twisted view that isn't going to change in any direction no matter what I or anyone else says. I suggest you stop your useless propaganda war or at least keep it out of the talk pages of this newspaper. - LilWolf 13:03, 17 January 2007 (CET)

At least we are prepared to actually fight a war, even if it is for Propaganda. ScottSabin 15:18, 17 January 2007 (CET)

All I'm going to say is: NEVER EVER let your guard down, because the moment you do, green-and-gold banners will appear over the horizon, and your regions' population will be... downsized. -Pizarro

You knwo what, im getting bored of that line. Its the only line you actually use. Why dont you come and put your money where your mouth is, and actually come down here to face us? ScottSabin 15:45, 17 January 2007 (CET)

Well, because apparently, your guard is still up. If it were up to me, I'd wait several years, until you goat herders have grown so arrogant that you think the Darkans fear you and your leaders have lulled you into a false sense of security. It's much more entertaining to sneak up on your target when it has no idea you're coming, and then destroy it completely. You'll see what I mean eventually. In the meantime, please, by all means, keep believeing we fear you. It will make the slaughtering all the more fun for us. -Pizarro

You see thats the difference between Darka and the rest of the Continent. We will fight our enemies when they know we are there. We dont go round sneaking and doing the unerhand thing. We have honour to fight for. You aparently only like to see our backsides...much lieke Rosengarden Guy. ScottSabin 17:00, 17 January 2007 (CET)
