As announced by Alexstrasza, the Insurgency has completed its wartime objectives: we took the island and displaced JFx of their territorial strongholds, we convincingly overpowered the entire JFx syndicate, and, most importantly, we had fun in a war involving thousands of players of all stripes. Some battles were clearly between titans, but there were opportunities for players of all levels, stats, and specializations to participate, even those whose primary game is socialization and memes. Our sincerest thanks go out to Torn United Nations for engaging us as gamely as we did them and for taking this in the spirit in which it was intended.

For us, this war is over. We have collapsed some of our borders around sector 1 and settled into our long-term map positions. It was never our intention to lock the strong factions of TUN completely out of sector 1, so we have vacated some of our original holdings. For those wishing to fight for those spots, we will not interfere in battles against non-Insurgency factions.

We are aware that the leader of JFx (aka: Ched's United Nations of Torn) has decided that the war is somehow still ongoing. As far as we're concerned, you can't un-lose a war by pretending you never lost. If JFx wishes to restart hostilities, as it appears they have, we are happy to accept this second conflict. While JFx continues to exist, so, too, shall the Insurgency.

If you are, however, less than thrilled about demanding a recount for an election that was lost by a landslide, the Insurgency will never seek revenge on you just for having participated in the war, nor are we going to raid your subfactions or hospitalize those who simply let your faction pass through. If you are interested in a Torn where 1v1 wars are still possible without someone looking over your shoulder, now is the time to move on from the JFx model.

To be clear, does this mean JFK can sector 7 FTW, SA, and CR without  R* interference in a 1vs1 fashion?

Asking for a friend
RGiskard [1953860]
If JFK were to end this attempt at forever-war first, yes, they could attempt to sector 7 any of us 1v1 without the rest dogpiling on.

If you weren't apart of the war, be careful when you talk shit. JFx seems to be on a bender of targeting everyone not involved in the war. 

Have to drain the salt somehow I guess.

Congratulations on being honest for the first paragraph.

"We have collapsed some of our borders around sector 1 and settled into our long-term map positions. It was never our intention to lock the strong factions of TUN completely out of sector 1, so we have vacated some of our original holdings. "

We spotted CR moving and tried to sneak in. The people moving territories were hosped during this, and WP had blocked us off at one point, but failed to coordinate with SA to prevent us from taking more land as they moved. So let's not pretend abandoning this side was somehow part of the original plan.

"(aka: Ched's United Nations of Torn)"

Why is Ched there? Are you seriously pulling THAT card right now? Despite ItsZahid being freed while Hotshot got -20+b on a very similar case where they were buddies in the same illicit activity? Despite Kapten_Klitoris being (rightfully) perma'd. Despite Ched changing a rule to free Midknight from a permafed sentence?

"Insurgency will never seek revenge" wasn't that officially your motto? Despite not having anything to revenge against, didn't you use that to recruit people? Did you not paint your enemies as the devil they were not, while claiming to be "cleaning Torn"? Wasn't there some 2014 or so war being invoked as the start of this? So is it revenge or is it not?

I haven't talked much in the forums during this war, specially since I had to be out of Torn for a few days around the start of the war and when I came back I had better things to do than reading 40+ pages of shitposts, but all the propaganda and fake sanctity is a bit ridiculous.

This war could and would have been much more interesting if it was between the 4 big factions on each side and their direct affiliates. There was no need to involve every random tier 2-3 faction you could find, and it's an hipocrisy to now blame whoever else to retaliate against the smaller guys that YOU unnecessarily brought to the fronts.

Also, a lot of Insurgency's talk was about people deserving the spot they occupy on the map. Is anyone actually gullible enough to tell me Brothers of the Struggle and Wolf Pack Next Gen deserve to be in sector one more than any of anyone else's subs? Or more than any of JFK/A, MnC, PT mains?

You are what you claim to be fighting.

We have exactly the holdings we set out to acquire actually, although we were suspicious impressed you caught us on the move. 

Also, take some time to think about Ched's United Nations of Torn and you'll understand.

End this forever war? By Showing R*/Insurgency respect in the forums while quietly chaining and raiding?

Another post... Whining, concentrate all in one.

The war is over when all parts agree that the war is over.
