O-S Declaration of War!

[Hoffs]

Last night I was presented with a formal declaration of war from the loathsome Outsider organization. Their decree reads as follows:

Whereas Gilfane and the malevolent White Council have declared war by their actions on the sovereign denizens of Britannia; Therefore be it resolved by The Father and by The Council of Three that this state of war propagated by Gilfane and their allies is formally declared by The Outsiders. This state of war shall remain in effect until such time that Gilfane pledges its resources and abilities to the good people of Britannia regardless of guild affiliation.

Signed:

The Council of Three
  Nighstalker
  Saint Dismass
  Winter
Outsiders Guild
Faceless denizens of Britannia

Clearly the "Council" and their "Father" are even more delusionary than we had previously thought. But nevertheless, every member of the alliance must be on their guard now and be ready for brutal and merciless attacks. Be warned, good people!

In the meantime, I shall ask Duke Morgan to put House Nemesis on extra alert and the Landsraad and alliance leadership shall consider their response, if any, to this declaration. If necessary, we may need to once again consider activating the White Council Legion or White Crusaders to properly take the fight to the enemy.

[NB The alliance is not at war with O-S in game terms. If we do that, it will only be via the WC war protocols linked to in the above paragraph]

Dam.
Not sure if I understand the right sense of this declaration or how to interprete it. I say that, cuz Im surprised in some way. I consider OS was playing, in some way, fairly, as evil guild, of course, but fairly. They didnt dry loot, dont disturb events, so, as far I know, Dismas, Chumlee and Nightstalker seems good people. Evil, but good people. This declaration means this attitude will change? Or is just for more fun?. Just to organice my head (you know I mean).
Wathever the answer to my question, we, Nemesis house (or the White Council Legion or White Crusaders), must organice as well as we can our future actions.
Im sure, Duke will do that in perfect way.
All of us need join ventrilo, and even UOC.
So, I will join ventrilo, but Im asking for help to me with that matter. My quite poor english dont allow me understand what are you saying. So, I would like you give me some help in that matter. I need someone tell me easy and direct orders, cuz probably I didnt understand nothing you said before about the action we will take immediately. When I played with Koc I had Nym doing that, and it worked very well.
We also need, I sugest, good organization providing nice suits. We will lose a few (I hope no, but probably). Im imbuer but without experience, without time and without materials to make nice suits we will need. Obviously I will pay any suit i take, and also I can give to the imbuers all I have. But as in wartime we need to be organizated in that way.
And lately, I think it will be important train fights beetwen us, as many as we can, specially fighting groups, as in the real battlefield situations. Duke will do that perfectly, Im sure, but better as many players we can join to practice that.
Our most number of players is our best strength, and also, we fight in the rigth side.
Be warned and to arms!!!.

I had to summon my lil friend, a daemon, named 'Guardian of MYTH', the other day on the youngster Chumlee.

I figured that youngster either could use the *target practice* or mayhaps he would think twice,
about messing with me on me front porch in Umbra. He fled to re equip himself with a stronger bow,
with his no archery skills, in the end though I died, due to a brain malfunction in my Guardian of MYTH.

My Guardian of MYTH was not the brightest of critters,
for instead of guarding and following me, to attacketh Chumlee,
the Guardian of MYTH got stuck, uselessly wingflappin, atop my house banner.

But I die all the time, to OS, anyhow.

Wow!   Just wow!
I thought our relationship with O-S was decent, even good, with a healthy rivalry in game.  I don't understand the accusations they have made, nor do I understand why they have decided to declare war on us.
I guess that I will start equiping myself ready to battle any time I leave the house and be ready to join the fray.  Due to the Easter holiday coming up, I won't be online much for the next week or so, but I look forward to helping make O-S regret their decision to declare war on Gil.  I have not been well trained in PvP, but I will assist where I am able. 
I will also watch for any armor/weapon shortages and be ready to craft accordingly too.
Ready to serve,

Here is the official response to O-S:

The Gilfane Landsraad has considered the spurious claims and ridiculous arguments of the "Outsiders", and finds these assertions to be without any merit. The White Council has always upheld the rights of all lawful residents of Sosaria and continually seeks to protect the innocent, no matter their origin, affiliation or creed. It is our opinion that the "Council of three" and its cohorts are nothing but highwaymen and brigands, intent on exploiting the current social unrest throughout the lands of Siege for their own profit and gain. We find their pretence at disguising their actions behind the veil of fighting for the common good of Britannians to be both deplorable and risible.

Neither Gilfane nor The White Council has any attention of bending to the demands of a collection of bandits and cut-throats. House Nemesis and all allied military forces have been given free reign to defend our citizens and, at their discretion, take the fight to the enemy's own doorstep as needed, until such time that the "Council" both withdraws its declaration of war and removes its members and structures from Gilfane lands or those of any of our allies.

I love having a secretary

Yes Yes Yes this is what I love about siege.  In the production shard if you didnt accept the declaration of war, that would be it, in siege its just unnoficial.  This is what the game is all about, this is the type of roleplaying that iam talking about.  I say we should go to war, its a game.  Most wars end with  truce that bring new realtions for commerce.  I d say accept the war itll make the game fun.  Discuss the rules of engagement.  Also if you do this, it would help bring in my old guild.  In Atlantic i was part of the Blue lotus Ninja clan.  Assasins.  However thier whole template got nerfed becuas evertime the got near onyone especially an elf they would get revealed.  These are master trained assasins that would love siege since it would give them the chance to play ninja  caracter.  I say lets accept thier declaration of war it will be fun this is what siege is all about.  If all you want to do is craft and fught monsters you have the production shards for that.  They are going to attack us either way, might as well make it official.  This is really what make siege special cant you see.  I d say we need to get military organized and everyone has a role to play, a tamer with a dexer and a necro mystic mage etc.  Its just figure in out plans of attacks.  They did a well thought out declaration of war, it doesnt matter if what they say is true, in real life pretext to going to war are never true(Iraq for example)
I think that the crafters should make gear and everyone that fights should go to nemesis to organize a plan of defense or attack, and one in for all establish who are the rulers of sosario.  Come on people dont take it personally its a game.  No scratch that take it personally makes the game even better.  Look I know the O-S members and they arent just trying to kill you to ruin your game.  They are just trying to be your nemesis and without a nemsis, lets face it the game would be no fun.  Shit the world would be no fun.  Please lets take a new vision.   They are roleplaying by the way, and I think even more so then us, lets not ruin thier fun,  At the end of the day why did we come from siege.  We need to change some skill train in how to fight in pvp in group taking all our skills and talents into consideration.  The same way during the  second world war factorys that made trucks fwere forced to make weaponds, well crafters and imbuers are going to have supply reserve for our brave soldiers.  We must comtoghtere as a nation and fight.  That is the only way to end this. ho..pefully not toghthere.  Do this and I get the blue lotus ninja clan to jpoin siege.  Lets have some fun if poeple, its not that big of a deal, since you canr rivive them.  This is exactly what I expected from siege, and <i cant say Iam disappointed.  Who says there no rp in siege

[Ian James]

Well, if they send us a declaration of war, we will accept it.  But no actual war invite in game has happened yet.

I'll readd Kael if war comes upon us

First demand of our peace terms have been met!

Today on the morning patrol It came upon my notice that the O-S outpost established next to the Loothouse has been torn down.
If it shows the poor strategy or the ill planning of our oponents I will not fantasize about.
A honorable mentioning of Lieutenant Parium the Black on whose watch the feat was acomplished seems to be in order!
