Woah, hey now, there's no need to be cross with each other here.
Kesh did indeed come to our teamspeak with the intent of getting us to pull out of the war, much like the first war of northern aggression. I am not particularly offended by this, I can understand the motive and his reasoning, but I am absolutely offended by the incessant hostility displayed by certain FCC members.
First of all, Matey, I'm absolutely amazed and offended that you have the audacity to insult and belittle us with such unreasonable ignorance of our Confederation. Relit has never claimed to be the only and truly official leader of the Ravens, and most certainly not of the Central Confederacy. He was, at one point, the head diplomat of the Ravens, which essentially made him the messenger and representative of the Ravens of Valhalla. His job was to represent and provide assistance to Turboflex, the unanimously elected chieftain who came to power after Norse Horde collapsed.
Relit helped form the Confederacy, but didn't hold a very large role in the decisions we have made since our creation. Placing such heavy blame upon him is the first insult you've offended me with. The second insult is that you are heavily implying that the Ravens are the only decision makers in our alliance, and that neither the Frisians nor my own clansmen have any decisive importance within it.
The truth of the matter is that all three clans initially held a meeting in our first days to decide how we could make things work better than they had when we were Fimbulvetr. Ultimately, we decided that it would not be wise to immediately inherit the Frisian's war, and instead decided that we would put the ball in your court until a better consensus could be reached. Evidently, that final consensus was to go to arms against your aggressive expansion in the west and in the north. There was no treachery, there was no conspiracy, and I think we collectively find it offensive that you could accuse us of such things.
To wrap things up here, you should try to not take Strategus matters so personally. You're blowing this entire situation out of proportion and as a result you are personally creating a divide between our respective factions. I personally have taken the philosophy that cRPG (or even personal) relations are not to be confused or mixed with Strategus relations, as they are two separate things entirely. My enmity for you or your affiliates only goes as far as Strategus, and I still hold a reasonable amount of respect for you guys outside of the map itself.
