In reply to: Kliset Starkust 's message, "Thank you, sir Shadow. Though, I'm afraid I'd have to disagree with your choice of war. I believe that we can accomplish what needs to be without having to go into war, or to settle a conflict we could avoid war by verbal confrontations in the means of doing so for the better." on 17:15:30 01/10/03 Fri

Mr. Shadow, although war IS necessary, I'm afraid it's not that simple. politics must be considered, otherwise, even if the other fort is conquered, they will rebel. Besides, it is much better to have a powerful ally than a weak defeated enemy. (NT) -- Darksun, 18:11:16 01/12/03 Sun
- Yes, but you see that arrow could cause a brand new war, a war with the allies of those you've just defeated...So, therefore by eliminating one enemy you're attacked by like 3 more! That's making the problem worse, not better!! (NT) -- Kliset Starkust, 14:07:19 01/13/03 Mon
  - OOC: *^&$&%! I always lose arguments! BIC: .....Aye. I see your point. If I may bee so bold, and if you would be kind enough to answer to a poor fox, when do you think war is necessary? (NT) -- Shadow, 16:18:48 01/13/03 Mon
    - I see only one time when war is neccessary and that is when the 'foe' has become completely irrational and blocked from their mind the chance of making a friend, and only then war should be declared when they keep pursisting in harming those within these walls...*the hare sighs and then looks to Shadow* (NT) -- Kliset Starkust, 14:02:34 01/14/03 Tue
      - Aye. I understand.....Very well, when you see it fit to go to war, I will stand beside your choice, but you still have my vote. OOC: Sorry if I got to anoying but I just wanted some answers. BIC: * The black fox sits back down, content with his questions* (NT) -- Shadow, 15:16:27 01/14/03 Tue
        War is necessary when other try to take what is rightfully yours. This could be anything, from a piece of land, to your liberty. But then, a war can be anything from a tempremental argument to full-fledged battles between thousands. War is necessary, as it is one of the few lasting justices. Death is the only true and lasting justice, but war is suitable to our purposes, for when beasts see others die, they become afraid of dying as well. That is when war ends.

        ....... (NT) -- Shadow, 17:16:11 01/14/03 Tue
        Ah, but that's not always true Darksun...Like I said to Shadow, the downfall of one enemy only brings the arrival of another. And I bring you this question; if Peace was not a justice and a choice to end war then why does Fort Nightshade have a Peace Secretary? OOC: No, not at all Shadow. You were doing what you thought right, and I'd probably do the same... BIC: *The hare turns to look into the eyes of Darksun* You see your looks can be just as well terrifying, and with them you have yet to harm one. And what you speak of I believe would be the beginning of the end of all of us! (NT) -- Kliset Starkust, 15:25:08 01/15/03 Wed

        You my friend are blinded by your inability to see past the bloodshed of war! And it is the job of the Secretary of War to decide of when we go to war, not mine. You show the inability of not letting others have a second chance, when an enemy army could 'ave been threatened to do what they did/ will do...Your inexpeirence as a politician has recklessly converted you into one whom believes in killing us all if a foe was to come upon us! As for those who've back stabbed us, I'd make sure they'd not do so again, or attempt to... (NT) -- Kliset Starkust, 17:26:39 01/17/03 Fri
        (Inside again.) -- Darksun, 18:46:08 01/17/03 Fri
        Then, maybe you should not tell me how to do mine! And as of today I am the Secretary of Peace, and I'm ending this arguement for the lack of a better cause! *The hare turns and walks away from the Secretary of War.* (NT) -- Kliset Starkust, 10:02:18 01/18/03 Sat
        (My apologies. I posted before you were named Sec. of Peace.) 'talking to empty air' I did not tell you how to do yours, I simply told you that I thought you would not make a good Secretary of Peace, and my reasons for that thought. Good day, and the best of luck in your new job. May it not come crashing down around your ears, leading to the death of all of us. (NT) -- Darksun, 10:28:55 01/18/03 Sat
