Whoever is attacking New Earth needs to stop. You're endangering the integrity of the united Federated Commonwealth. We're fighting on every front as it is. We do NOT need to provoke a civil war with Steiner.

Cut it out.

Could be puggles attacking because it's the heaviest populated planet that's not against the clans. As a puggle myself I respect the treaties forged in blood with our steiner brethren.

There seems to have been a misunderstanding among some units accepting new FedCom contracts. Orders to stand down are being sent out. House Davion reiterates our respect for the sovereignty of House Steiner and all worlds under the Archon's jurisdiction.

If by play you mean attack Liao and Kurita and leave Steiner alone, then yes, do so indeed.

If you mean forget about diplomacy, then you're in the wrong mode. Go drop in PUG Instant Action matches and leave the strategic warfare to your betters.

there is no official alliance in this game and its beta...play the game. Community warfare...the community is at war. No need for any side to have an alliance if anyone should it should be Liao...and they not even having an alliance.

The devs didn't make the actual FedCom so the major Davion and Steiner units have done it for them. We ARE playing the game and trying to enforce canon. Don't like it? Pug it up in regular matchmaking.

Plus the fact that Davion really doesn't need to fight on another front.

Davion also doesn't have to deal with the clans and Steiner is getting creamed by them. No reason to open another front with Steiner.

I believe Merc Star was attacking it last night before we got our orders, just looking for a match. We quit once we heard of the no fly zone in stiener space. I think we only hit it once ish though.

We turned our attention to phact. Hit a couple of 12s, so nice to not just run over pugs consistently.

Also, if you are unaware, Mercenary Star (-MS-) ,the group formally hustling for Clan Ghost Bear, has signed a 7 day with Davion. IS vs IS battles I have to say are more fun, and there seems to be a larger population to fight than what we had in CGB.

you going to make me pug? no. Is this game ACTUALLY going to follow by cannon? No! so why force something that's never going to happen? If that's the case go to a league and play there maybe they will follow by it.

CW was created with the intent of changing the canon not having it happen step by step as it happened in the lore. No. You fan boys put way to much heart in soul into a video game. So same goes for you guys, if you don't like the fact that us "PUGs are messing up your unofficial plan off alliance....well regular match making.

Regardless of lore, it is better to fight on as few fronts as possible. If we open up all fronts, our forces will be too spread out to offer proper attack/defense of our planets.

Just don't understand why we got to argue about it.

Happy Stomping :D

The BlackStar Alliance will be focusing on the Purple Birdies' front, and on defending Steiner space from those damned Green Pigeons.

Would it be that hard for them to impose game based restrictions for units marked as Davion, only able to attack planets along their own planets? I encountered the Smoke Jags on a Liao planet the other night. REALLY should not be taking place like that.

They wanted everyone to be able to participate in the Clan/IS matches, so that's why you can do that. Otherwise you ARE limited to Davion planets; you can't help Steiner against Marik, or something like that, for instance.

They are trying to play the game. They are also trying to win in the game. They are trying to organize offensives and reduce the pressure on one of your fronts. As a mercenary, I don't really care.

Edit because quoted the wrong person.

Except Liao is in an alliance with Marik and are attacking us. So how about you understand that we needed to form an alliance as well if we are going to succeed?

People attacking Steiner planets, your arguments and logic are flawed. Steiner are not a threat, the clans, and snakes are, and we still need to take ownership of Capella, for their own good. So Stop being idiots and play the game with some strategy. That being harass the snakes, take Liao worlds, fight the purple burdies if you want just bring your steel plated underwear, or fight the clans while they can't attack us and can use the snakes as a meat shield.

In ancient Earth history, {Godwin's Law} opened up the eastern front with Russia and cost him the war. He had a non-aggression pact with Russia at that time, but couldn't fight a war on two fronts. We do not need a fourth front. So if you don't like it, go pug it up in instant action while we try to win CW thanks and have fun getting stomped.

Edit: So apparently cannot refer to the leader of the Third Reich even in a proper historical context, a little disappointing in that.

You're correct in that these other units can't tell you what to do. However, the CW metagame is determined by two things. Match victories and Unit alliances within factions. Right now the larger Davion and Steiner units are trying not to attack each other as part of a larger metagame strategy to increase their House's chance of victory.

Is this in the game interface? No. It's community driven by the players of the units. To them and many others it's part of the fun.

Does this really affect you other than here on the forums? Not really. Those units may black list you from doing drops with them but that's about it. Nor is PGI going to interfere with non-harassment player interactions.

TL:DR They are using alliances to help House Davion in the CW Metagame and you are hindering their attempts. They asked you to stop. You are under no obligation to do so.
