Since my good name is in question I dug up my part in the Hez/Stuart/SOL conflict:
Taken from this thread "Official Declaration of War" last updated 12/19.

I went to look at the site today and the only recognizable name I saw was Tattoed Priest. If you're talking about the terrorist page it's just a broken link now.
I don't blame you for being pretty pissed off at his BS, but really, do you think he is all right in the head??? This would be like beating up a retarded kid at a bar. It's not going to silence him and it won't make you look any better.
Honestly, I'd rather not be dragged into a fight for King's stupidity, but I'm in the fed (SOL)also and will help in its defense.
You should reconsider. Perhaps schedule some sort of parlay....

But really, what good is attacking him going to do? He has one junk country and his secured main. No doubt you will take the junk country, but that will likely only lead to more spam and complaining from him.
Lately his spam has gone down (that I've noticed) and it looks like he's removed his terrorist webpage. Maybe he's becoming more reasonable.

King, as a show of good faith we would all appreciate it if you took this first step towards peace and removed Stuart's name from the site.

"Spoken like a true statesman. I'm afraid most of us have lost our objectivity. I hope you can reach out to King Hezekiah and convince him to rejoin the world community as a partner."
Thanks. Hopefully you can convince Stuart and others to put an end to their hostilities as well. I've messaged Hezekiah and Wendy is right, he's a good guy that hasn't had an easy time fitting in here. He just wants to have fun here as well.

I've kept up with it for the last month on the boards. I've only gotten involved recently because I joined LU a few days ago.
I've said all I can say in Hezekiah's defense. If he doesn't want to take the steps toward smoothing things over then take his country and we'll all chance war (depending on Wendy, I suppose), or Hezekiah will continue wasting gold coins on securing it.
BC
PS.. I've looked at the NLUO site up and down and the only reference to Stuart is a small section that says he convinced Bakronesia to quit the org. Am I missing something or is that what the fuss is about?
"You are the most arrogant person I have ever met.."
"It is a new day, and you are still a fool... "
Hezekiah, either you are the arrogant fool or you are a pretty good (yet underhanded) tactician with GC to waste. I guess we'll find out which is which.
Don't think we don't all know we're being used. It's just a game to some of us.

Well, if you don't want war then be diplomatic. You are not being that at the moment.
If you want war (to get rid of the "terrorist") then let it begin. He'll even start it if you take your country out of protection. Your fed will probably back you up. The SOL will probably back you (depending on Wendy). But I'm tired of all the BS on the boards. Either settle this or bring this to war. It's your decision, just make one already.
BC
PS - I think Stuart is mostly right (maybe not in threating others) in this one so I'd rather you settle rather than bringing your allies into a war to satisfy your perceptions. Those are some pretty damn good terms all things considered.
"PS - I think Stuart is mostly right (maybe not in threating others) in this one so I'd rather you settle rather than bringing your allies into a war to satisfy your perceptions. Those are some pretty damn good terms all things considered."
That's it. I'm going back to grammar school..... threating??? I'm starting to sound like others on this board.....
I understand your side Stuart. Hell, I even understand a little of H's side. I'm in it for SOL, that's all. I just wish something would happen... Personally. I think our energies would be better spent the LDI or whoever our real enemies are. Hopefully King will realize that as well.....
"I respect a lot of what you are saying and how you are dealing with this situation. Do you really want to fight for this guy? Regardless of what is posted you have a choice. Feel free to IM me if you want to be left alone."
Thanks, but no thanks. I'd personally rather not fight with him, but he is in SOL so I will. I'm just playing along in the game. I only say it here to distance myself, personally, from him. In LU I'll be his stalwart ally as long as he is protected by Wendy (SOL). Keeps things interesting.
Anyways, check out the KB (or General) board for the US vs. EU clash ("Clash of the Continents" thread) preparing to go down on KB. We need some US players to join in and help. Everybody is welcome to join.

"I will reiterate. I will not attack any member of SOL with the exception of King Hezekiah, but I am ready to defend myself if neccessary, and to launch a counter offensive. I will not be the aggressor in any CIS/SOL war. You all knew what I was planning before you accepted King into SOL, and I won't back down now."
It's alright man. It's all part of the game. I think most of us get along well enough to have a pretty respectful war. I look forward to it. I have plenty to learn.

Now, explain where the asshat is in this? Or if you are refering to another post, say where.
