[9/2/2014 4:36:38 PM] Miles Van de Wetering: My council recommended that I make a clear and concise statement of DSy4 policy
[9/2/2014 4:36:40 PM] Miles Van de Wetering: so here you are
[9/2/2014 4:37:06 PM] Miles Van de Wetering: We cannot tolerate any player, or any tribe, attacking a member of DSy4 with no response either defensively or offensively, or both if required.
We are all about loyalty, honesty and integrity and that is something that DSy4 council is fully committed to. And so we cannot in good conscience make multiple sacrifices in order to preserve a peace that logistically speaking should exist regardless.
As such, DSy4 council has agreed on firstly making defensive moves against our Ronin aggressors to protect ALL members we have in DSy4 from this moment - which we have held off from for the most part whilst talks have been ongoing in the hope of our logic prevailing. We are also considering offensive plans but have yet to put those into motion, whilst talks conclude.
We don't see any benefit to DSy4 in warring Ronin. But nor do we see any benefit to Ronin in warring DSy4 - the south-west of the map is your power base, but the north has always been an area DSy4 made clear we wanted. That clarity has been evident publicly since February and has continued until this day.
We have never taken any other claims to this region legitimately as there have been long-term intents for the NW of W70 becoming DSy4 territory for over half a year. So whilst we do understand, and apologize for, any issue that has come about our recruitment - it was always our intent to do so and no other tribe has as large a claim to the NW as we have had, given our history.

The world doesn't shape itself because you say you want it. I want the whole core to myself, doesn't mean Infect is giving it to me.
It was fun talking with you Miles but if your tribe is unable to honor refugee camps you really dont have a shred of integrity to be doing diplomacy with in the world.
[9/2/2014 7:19:14 PM] Jennifer: I do believe Ronin made its interest in the north very clear. DSy4 seems to believe a quarter of the map dictates the half. You are not sorry for what you did and you felt I would get on my knees and accept it. While I have no qualms with working alongside DSy4, I am equally content with working alongside others against you
[9/2/2014 7:20:18 PM] Jennifer: I have been far honest in these dealings than you. Far more. I am the spider in the web, Miles, and yet I have been far less deceiving and told far fewer half truths
[9/2/2014 7:21:08 PM] Jennifer: You made a power grab. You are welcome to put me in my place. You are welcome to strike me down for my insolence against DSy4. You are welcome to make me suffer and make me bleed
[9/2/2014 7:22:41 PM] Miles Van de Wetering: You make me out as such a villain Jennifer XD Just doing my best to defend what I can.
[9/2/2014 7:22:41 PM] Jennifer: But please, have the -integrity- to not assume that you do not have refugees from my war in your tribe. Please have the integrity to admit that you provoked me and please, the decency to be better at your subterfuge
[9/2/2014 7:23:12 PM] Jennifer: You are no villain
[9/2/2014 7:23:15 PM] Jennifer: Simply no saint
[9/2/2014 7:23:30 PM] Jennifer: And in no way a victim of my insolence
[9/2/2014 7:23:32 PM] Miles Van de Wetering: (nod) hard to be a saint when you're a duke
[9/2/2014 7:23:40 PM] Jennifer: So it would seem
