Coward,
I will kill you or myself, but will not be your colony. Expect uprising after uprising, you bloodsucking parasite. How am I to defend myself against 80,000 plus when at work? You have taken my honor, it must mean nothing if that is how it is lost. To let you draft my armies, fah!, I will dissolve them first, and know I have not helped a pig like yourself become even a larger predator. And to be the slave of such an offensively named group of cities is doubly insulting.

This part was removed for a reason.
And now for the piece la Reistance`...
Part III : Business
Now that the customary pleasantries have been dealt with, how do you expect me to stay in the game? I will not spend a dime on Evony, so buying my way out of bondage is out. If you do not release me, I have other games.
So, it comes down to what is your price? You have 24 hours to respond.
All sweetness and light,


Seems that this is a game about war, colonization, and DEFENDING yourself.
You know, the reason players become frustrated and send emails like this to Suzerains is because they do not understand the game. Because nobody has explained it well enough to them. So they consider being colonized as the end of the world. They don't understand that their "job" is to overthrow the other players. This filsters down even to a player who has 1 colony and filters up to a player who has 500 colonies and atlantis. Every player who is being "oppressed" by a stronger one can succeeed in overthrowing them. That is the game. The smaller ones grow and eventually rebel and overthrow the bigger ones. Then the bigger ones rebuild and try to get on top again and the cycle repeats. But many players do not understand this. It is about rebellion and oppresson. you can be an oppressor or you can be a rebel. Heck, or you can be both.
All of this needs to be explained to new players so they don't freak out and get frustrated and then quit the game everytime they get colonized.

Again, Evony, we NEED this explination in the GAME section of the forums so new players can understand things.
