Never-Ending War

Gentlemen and Ladies,
For the newer amongst us, this War shall never end. Unlike most
wargames, this one has built in eternal life for all - unless each
and every Noble in your faction is killed, you merely have to wait a
while, get the NP's back, rebuild your Noble(s) and re-enter the fray
(the origin of LoTC themselves are my proof). And both of these
Alliances are multi-factioned, thus ensuring at least one surviver
can continue the conflict until the rest can re-start with new
factions (assuming you can actually kill them all off). This started
as a fun exercise around Year 5, and has been going on in some form
or another ever since. What are the odds anyone is gonna stop it
anytime soon?
Dragonbreath, you are so full of s#*T it must hurt. I am not
apologizing for any actions of anyone - in fact if you can actually
read I mentioned that I have been challenged at sea by PLATO, Harn
and SOA since turn 55 - the BoRG are just the latest. Hell, even
Artemis Entreri called up an old trade run of mine for the
Illustrated Man as a causis belli to justify invading Khazhad-dum
recently (proved I was in league with the Inner Circle)! Force is a
way of life in this game - get over it. And if the only way an enemy
can get to me is via a narrow waterway, I will do anything I can to
close it - pure military logic. I can agree with the theory of the
closure without taking sides on whether it is "Right" or not - I just
go around or charge accordingly.
