I am the leader of the A-AU, and I formally surrender to Ming/Northmathr.
There is no way for us to fight back. There is not a town among us that is not poor or new or both. We have not had the time nor activity to develop and our size is only fluffed up by half a dozen small towns and groups of inactive players.
We've already lost one of our bigger population centers with little ability to afford resistance. If the norse came down here looking for a good fight they obviously didn't find one. If we had the rest of the year to build up defenses and gear then we might have been able to sit at an equal footing or at least enough to defend ourselves, but that's clearly not possible with war happening now.
If you even have an ounce of honesty in that you RP, you need to accept this surrender. This is an unconditional surrender, so whatever the leaders of Northmathr/Ming decide they want us to do, we are not in a position to decline.
And no, that doesn't mean "our conditions for the surrender is that we slaughter you all ecks dee". The provision is that we still get to exist.
It's also clear that even though the CB for northmathr is questionable at best and nonexistant for ming, as well as the debate of admin/mod support of them being relevant, no one who can do anything about it cares and don't plan to make it fair so we will just surrender.
Lucian/Tira; Let me know your terms.
