It's true, I have always been considered a rational intellect. And since you as well have stated so, then I will first thank you for the compliment and change my tone to the rational intellect that I have. What I have been doing is trying to goad you and upset you for tactical reasons to draw out information, such as the claim that your new base will be an LS base and is ripe for being struck by our own LS attacks.
But if you remember, the first day this server started I outed New World for being the newbs that they are and stated that BB and IA may not be the enemies that others think they are. This was a test for information as well, as at the time, I was in another alliance, W.A.R., and wanted to know if you two were going to attack each other or join forces. I obviously learned there that you two were apparently bitter enemies from other servers.
I left W.A.R. and asked to join both, IA and BB. BB was the only one who responded and I have since been very active in their forums and operations. I have helped out where I could proving thousands of resources to players, and sent over 200 defense forces and 20 biremes to help defend other allies bases. In that time I have evaluated your claims that the leaders of BB were sneaky, underhanded, braggarts who need to go down hard. Let me honestly tell you, Exit, these are some of the most decent, considerate, and helpful people that I have played the game with on 5 different server and in over 6-7 tops world alliances (can't even remember now how many I have actually been in). They are not the demons that you paint them out to be, not in the least.
Let me use my rational intellect to further evaluate the server situation as I see it.
The two top alliances are fighting each other all because a single individual, or a small handful, has a grudge that he or they brought over from another server. Right off the bat, I knew we were not dealing with, as you say, rational minds. This is most often the case with Grepolis. Emotions get involved, people carry grudges and baggage around, and it destroys their tactical mindset. A true warrior does not think this way. Sun Tzu has taught not to think this way. Sun Tzu said, "Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win".
Because you brought grudges over to another server and are not in a tactical mindset, you have gone to war first, and are now seeking victory as Sun Tzu has warned against. As well Sun Tzu said, "The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting". But instead of working to truly gather the best players on the server, you only gathered the ones that you knew many of whom are proving themselves to not be as experienced as they claimed. If you really want to be "Supreme" as Sun Tzu says, then you would take the best people from each alliance and form together. You are wrong Exit, about BB and the people in it and I have learned this first hand, by getting very actively involved that you are wrong.
I do not wish to fight the past battles of scared grudges. I am here for the supreme victory. If you are also here for this goal, the only truly worthy goal as Sun Tzu has stated then you want this as well. It is a insult and an offense that the best players cannot come together in the manner that they should because of only a handful of emotional people. To every player of worth on this server let me say that we want you with us. Let me say, that we, are where you want to be and that there is room for you here. Here, you will be with like minds and not tyrants. Here, you will be with tactical thinkers and together, we can all elevate our game to the highest standard.
Yes, it will not be as drama filled and emotional. Yes, it will be a complete victory if you join us. But it will be the Supreme victory of tactical planning and execution and not the battle scared grudges of old baggage. The leaders here are worthy of merit and if you give them a chance like I have, you will see that as well. Even you Exit, will enjoy being with us, much more than you will against us. Come with us, my brothers in arms and let us together rule as we should. I leave you today with this final quote from Sun Tzu, and this is the quote that holds true in BB, which is why even the one who lost his city yesterday is still with us and is receiving support.
"Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death."
Sun Tzu
