Just to let you know, I might be somewhat less active these days, a new job coming up and stuff. I'll still try to do my turn every day or two.
(mainiac: Whining, as you well know, seems to do wonders with persuading other houses to give you their support)
To everyone who might have forgotten - it's been 22 years ago after all - the nefarious Li Halan had unilaterally claimed Criticorum, a strategically vital world for all three houses in this sector. The Noble House al-Malik insisted on it remaining neutral, to which Li Halan responded with brute force, opening fire to unarmed transport passing through Criticoran space - a blatant and unprovoked act of war.
Having thus damaged our fleet and destroying our precious cargo, Chi Kao begun to seek peace, refusing any meaningfull reparation for their agression. It was only natural for us to take actions aimed at at least dealing equal damage to their forces in return. Which we did, and having thus satisfied our blood debt, we agreed to a ceasfire and promptly removed our forces from Li Halan territory.
Obviously, their continuous occupation of Criticorum, recent breakage of cease fire, and warmongering does nothing to make us want to settle this dispute peacefuly.
As for negotiations, Chi Kao, do not try to pretend that peace is what you seek. We have offered you the western continent of Malignatus, and you refused, having no reason at all to do so, as both continents are equally valuable. Obviously, what you look for is but a pretense to continue this war. Which is fine by me, though it makes me loathe you to see that you're unable to state this openly.
