It seems to me that we are having a general outbreak of some kind of unknown disease in this game, the unfortunate ones to be infected by this disease experience following symptoms: Delusion, Madness and Paranoia.

Some started to champion not being wiped in an offensive war as an achievement, some think the entire game rotates around them like Earth rotates around the Sun, some start to believe there is hatred towards their nation, general conspiracy to bring down their experience an agenda to destroy them.

I've been playing games of this genre for 10 years, I've played multiple of them, I've been a Soldier, Government member, Leader of a country and Leader of an Alliance, but never have I seen the level of delusionality, in those games like we are seeing in this one. 

Countries & Alliances start wars, over grudges, IRL reasons, bonuses, disagreements, or just for fun, but this is probably the first time we're seeing wars of moral supremacy, however funny this may sound, that's the rhetoric currently held by one of the belligerent sides. I'm not gonna go into details, how wars started, why it started, why was one country a target and another an attacker, for this is now completely irrelevant.

Now what matters is that, recently Phoenix alliance was approached by the idea of signing peace, although no terms or anything were discussed, just an idea and possibility of ending this conflict, since the reshuffle is on it's way and this war has indeed been tiring for all sides. As usual people within the Alliance had different opinions regarding this proposal, some had grudges over the countries they deemed as aggressors that attacked them, others had personal conflicts with certain individuals, from the opposing side, and list goes on, so in the end the offer was rejected, for we inner discussions did not come to general consensus.

Reaction to this, was something that few would imagine, a general rant and victimization of biggest community in the game. Declaration of the opposing side as evil, claiming them having an Malicious intent that goes beyond generic gameplay in such games, Evil plan to destroy their community, harm them by any means, delving in every possible conspiracy to bring about their downfall. They leave their alliance, dissolve the government and declare to be non-partisan, lone wolves that will defend themselves from evildoers in this game.

It's sad to see biggest community indulging in such infantile behavior, that serves nothing but self-aggrandizing & manic obsession with an idea of your enemies, not just wanting to win in a war you started, but to completely eradicate you from this game.

I'd advise all players, that don't want to take part in such delusions to continue playing and working, so game can be enjoyable, equally for all of us, regardless of our affiliations and conflicts.


P.S Note - I forgot to mention. I've always been, am and will be against Alliances, Nations or Wars that damage the server and ruin the experience, wiping countries and trying to make their communities leave is one of the wicked things one could do in such games, as long as I'm here and I have any influence over the game whatsoever, I will always be a bastion that fights against such things, people who know me, shall undeniably vouch for me on this take.
