Peace in our time, if only for a little while?

Shivans want peace?

It appears the Shivans want peace. Granted we all know they'll betray us eventually, but frankly, this would give us some much needed breathers. Plus, it would let us concentrate on other annoyances...

I'd certainly be willing to sign a peace treaty. Even if I knew it was only temporary.

Edit: Look at the post directly below Wormia's rant.

I agree that a cease fire is a welcome oppertunity. However, it shouldn't mean we step down our military alertness, nor should be drop our guard.

Indeed. It would just be a breather, to let us build up our military unmolested. Plus, we could finally crush certain annoying nations without having to split our forces.

What might take them off guard is if we attack them first.

So far throughout the war, the Shivans have made the first move. This time, however, if we move first we'll gain an advantage.

We meet thier representatives, but the whole time we're making preparations to strike them fast and hard.

Unfortunately, IBs reasons seem to be mostly OOC, so that may not work Mekanta. Jordaxia informs me he wishes to go back to modern tech for a while, but IB is refusing to let on anything about the stances of the other Shivan nations. Therefore, I conclude that they are still hostile, and only IB wants this cease fire.

Still, IB represents the majority of the Shivan Imperium. Ekardia we can ignore due to his truly atrocious RPing skills. Reptile is just one empire. We can crush him with little difficulty. I say we go for it (seeing as I'm the one doing it).

Although not the most Miliarily active nation in this Alliance, This ongoing conflict is still proving costly for us, so we would be glad to sign a Cease-Fire agreement for the time being.

True, but IB is the most troublesome nation. Most of the really godmodish stuff has been comming from his end. Granted, Ekardia has numbers and Reptiles has that Wormhole thingie, but those two can be stomped. Once they go down, the Shivans will lose thier command structure...

Granted, if my Neo-Mekanta plans go through, that'll just leave a power vacuum to start exerting pressure on former Shivan Imperiium and Hammer of Light members after everything collapses. Kind of a stick and carrot approach. "Follow me, and you'll be rewarded. Oppose us, and Minagoroshi won't go hungry. Wakarimasuka?" (Translation: Wakarimasuka = "Understand?")

So is this a blessing, or a curse?

Mekanta: It's a blessing, obviously. We would actually have a GOOD opponent that WOULDN'T godmod. Heck, maby you could even push the other Shivans into the good RP niche.
