To the Lock & Load Federation (Little Upsilon)

Dear Members of the Lock and Load Federation,

I am writing this open letter to the members of the Lock and Load Federation who have recently declared war on me. In the last 24 hours I have received many many war decs by a collective including Slade, Budman and Zrapid primairly (I haven't had a chance to check every dec as there are many many decs).

I have no idea why I have been declared on. I do not beleive I have ever done anything to this group of players and I am clearly an active player who is well defended. In short, I do not think I have done anything to provoke or deserve being gang-banged. I know that I have a reputation as an active raider, but I always use clear criteria in deciding on a raid. I present none of the standard criteria for raiding. In sum, I do not know what I've done to raise the ire of these players and hope that a diplomatic solution can be worked out.

I have messaged each of the above players with more specific details but felt posting here was warranted as this action threatens the bulk of my empire on LU.

In sum, I implore the aggressors here to reconsider and stand down as I present no threat to them. I also implore the LU community to urge these players to stand down their actions and let us all continue in peace.

Best Regards,
Kaymen Ultra Vires.

If your going to gang up on the guy, at least tell him why.

I agree to an extent Industmech, but Kaymen raided an active player recently (Big Chip) for no reason as well. Kaymen isn't a difficult target, as he plays with no fedmates.

It sucks getting dec'd by a federation while solo - its happened to me before too. But if you want to pick on little guys without backup from a federation, you're welcoming others to pick on you.

In sum, I implore the aggressors here to reconsider and stand down as I present no threat to them. I also implore the LU community to urge these players to stand down their actions and let us all continue in peace.

You owe Big Chip his empire back!

LMAO, don't say I didn't tell you that you had more to worry about than me. Our Skirmish was fun though Kymen.

Greedy, greedy Kaymen. You draw too much attention to yourself. That's what happens. No sympathy here.

Although i never speak on forums I feel as though Kaymen does deserve a response. Yes Kaymen, you have never done anything to us directly, but that doesn't mean our war isn't justfied. First and foremost, you have been very aggressive as of late and that fits our criteria. Second, we never had any direct contact nor made any friendships with you, also fits our criteria. Lastly, you have aqcuired some nice countries that could be used against us, a major criteria for us. It should be noted that we left you with some of your war slaves that we would love to have but didn't feel it would be in the spirit of the game to totally wipe you out.
I think if you ask around we not known as people that fight big wars for the sake of being jerks. We are a fun group that likes to have fun and play a pretty cool game. Had you not been so aggressive over the last month, we never would've taken notice. As far as you saying we should join up as fedmates, well I don't think that was a geniune offer. Why would you wait to ask that until war declartions went out?
You can respond to my post if you want but please don't think I'm being rude if I don't respond as I rarely chat on forums. I doubt this post will make you feel any better about the war today, which I fully understand. I'm sure you are preparing your return attack but until then good luck with the game.
