My message to Spyda, leader of iS, as of tick 176, after the resolution of his alliance's fifth attack upon my own. Forgive my impudence at posting a personal leader's message on the forums but I know many iS member frequent the forums and I rarely received a response from Spyda in a speed faster than 2 days AFTER I initially try to contact him. I wouldn't want the other iS members misunderstanding RAGE's response to their actions. 5 attacks, the last one AFTER Spyda finally replied to me in-game is not a mistake or confusion or a misunderstanding. It is aggression pure and simple and we will treat it as such. We won't be your punching bag Spyda.... and this is my declaration of that.

+1

wow thats a great message! cheers man

Aye. It's good to see alliances standing up for themselves.

Well if you wanna let it all hang out bro. I'm cool with that.

BUT remember you've called us backstabbers several times. And I still have all our messages. NONE of which have I agreed to any NAP/Treaty/Alliance/Deal/Friendly Handshake or anything else.

I did you a favor and told you what was going on in the era. And offered you a spot in our sub. then said and I quote... "If not then we'll see if we can work something out."

You replied "Thanks..." and that you would focus on setting up.

Then I didn't hear anything from you for nearly 100 ticks. What part of that could possibly confused with making a treaty? It's not trickery, there was no misleading info, you assumed that because we hadn't attacked you last era, and we had a 3 msg conversation this era that we would be allies.

Would you like for me to post the Screenies?

To be clear, it's extremely difficult for an alliance to get off the ground on it's own. In any era. In fact I'd estimate that of all the alliances formed only 5% of them are actually in a position to even defend themselves if the need arose by tick 1000.

The reason you did so well last era was because of the aid and inherent protection provided to you by SAS (And as you extended in the later parts of the round iS). Just as iS's first era we were partially protected by UgTB.

However the difference is, part of the reason UgTB aided us was because we were in a position that if we had sided with their enemy they may have not have had the strength win.

KRAW and RAGE have never been in that position. You've got to get to the point where you can defend yourselves at least against alliances ranked in the top 10 - 15. Before, you really will be in a position to act upon your post. In fact as you threaten iS now... you're entire alliance is conquered.... AND NOT BY US!!! lol So and I'm just asking...

Are you planning on destroying the #3 ranked alliance in the world, before or after you free yourselves? (I just wanna know when I should put the tea on for you)

Twilight Mask. You're my bro. And I have no hard feelings toward you. But last era my real biological brother was removed from iS and lost everything due to in adequate activity.

I won't hesitate for one nanosecond to launch a full out attack, at someone attacking or threatening iS.

Yes, I was for all intents and purposes gone for several days. With my mother having surgery and all, and I'm sorry for the inconvenience E4, M4, and F4. But now I'm back, and I recommend you clear a path.

Well said. "+1" from me spyda

You call me your bro and you treat me like a bro... I also consider you my bro, yet you enter into my house and loot and pillage like it was your enemy's, and so I will defend myself and my kin as if you were our enemy.

That is what this is about Spyda...

I might have called foul when the first few attacks went down, but I was careful with my wording after I realized how you felt about us. There was no mention of backstabbing in my last message to you. I began to realize what was going on after we defended for the 3rd time, and when you finally responded and the attacks still did not cease, only then did I send you this message and post here on the forums.

No, you aren't a backstabber Spyda. You're too careful for that.
No, there was no trickery or misleading information. You simply don't appreciate my alliance at all, and so we must teach you fear and confusion and worry as you have already taught us. Maybe even a little respect. I don't want these things free though. I want to earn them, and so I stand up to you and tell you. HEY you're wrong in how you handled this situation and now I'm going to show you why.

We are not threatening you except within our own borders, as described in the first message. We will without fail drive you out of our home, but we will not attack you outside of those borders. From RAGE's hive to our mutual friend BoneCRusher is a decent span of about 10 ticks. If you do not accept those terms and wish to call an all out war against us then do so!

I'm not afraid of you brother, but you should be worried about me. As you already pointed out. You're the only one with something to loose.

I'm sorry to inform you Spyda we did not have an enemy... I was minister of war .. And we stepped in when you guys were pushed back all the way to your hive.. And on the brinks of collapse..

Due to they were taking all your territory gaining to much ground near our as in UgTb hive.. We came north and pushed them back in the matter of 2 days... You guys changing sides and backstabbing after that could have been the only thing that stopped us.. !!

Though you guys showed great appreaciation and honoered what we have done.. .

But do not state that if you guys would have done such a thing is the only reason we protected you..
if we wouldn't have you guys were to meet a bad faith, you guys were shooting tons of dragons at each other .. playing dragon ball z or some stuff haha...

I had been talking to Robb LONG before the conflict with the "Unions" even began. Let's just be honest, at that time UgTB and TE were very close in power, and TE had half a dozen subs. Sure at the end their activity dropped severely but at that time, it's actually likely that they would have won a war with UgTB. Especially, if we had aided them and allowed them to make Op's and portals in our territory like we did UgTB for your approach on them later.

And I don't understand why a few from UgTB keep talking like they rescued iS, I honestly don't have a clue. Our hive had relocated to the area where the admins started. They were at best 5 days to a week away. We had destroyed 2 of TE's armies and lost one of our own, and by the time UgTB did finally step in we had pushed TE completely from our mainland.

Our sub was conquered. True. But they hadn't lost many units. They just didn't follow my instructions to relocate in a timely fashion.

Do I think that iS could have beat TE the way UgTB did? No. I'm not an idiot. We would have had severe losses (which I wouldn't have allowed for fear at that time of UgTB attacking our backs Hey it's the truth.)

But would TE have conquered iS or defeated us? I highly doubt it. We'd fired a handful of dragons, and had traded a few OP's while we maneuvered them into a position where they could be dealt with with the least amount of losses.

But I guess you're right, as a minister of war you did have a tactical approach... I mean break the boost button, and attack head on is.... a plan....Right?


ANYWAYS back to the current F4.

iS is expanding. We are heading North. My best advise to you would be to relocate near the center of the map. There seems to be some free space around there, but attacking iS would undoubtedly bring a swift end to the round as far as RAGE would be concerned. I have a.... way of dealing with alliances that may grow to be a threat or bother me and my alliance.

You don't want that to happen. It's not a threat, I'm just saying, if you're going to come after us... You'd better win.
