Ari speaks truth

Read it.
The impression I'm getting is that Shireroth/its allies and the English have two different definitions of recwar. We're trying to have fun and tell a good story. You're taking it completely seriously, fighting for your lives, and developing a burning hatred of us for our involvement.
So, here's my suggestion.
From now on I, and any Shirerithians/Shireroth allies who agree with me, am going to post only things that don't require the participation or involvement of anyone on the other side, including King Jeremy. My ships will be leaving Darwin with my next post and concentrating on storylines that involve other Shirerithians.
I would like everyone on the English side to post here, saying whether they are willing to accept this as a fun, in-character story-telling attempt. If they are, I will continue to include them in the stories I write, possibly attacking them or being attacked by them or negotiating with them or something like that. If they're not, I won't and they can stop checking this forum unless they enjoy reading intra-Allies stories. If no one except the Shirerithians wants to participate, we can gradually shift this onto the Shireroth forums.
Further, I've suggested to the Shireroth Landsraad a resolution confirming that Shireroth has no real, out-of-character, permanent designs on the throne of Bosworth or the territory of Gascony. We'll probably keep claiming both of them as long as the story-telling keeps up, and eventually come up with some plausible in-character way to cede them at some point. If the English are willing to cooperate, it will be through a treaty with them, or something. If not, we'll figure something out.
