Now I understand why the alliance did so poorly during the war - they
refused to admit there was infact a war taking place! It all makes sense
now...the aimless wandering around alone...the thought that nothing was
wrong...you poor innocent people! I almost feel bad for Shallam now.
Wait...I lied.

Now, see - the only problem with not acknowledging a war is
simply...well...I think you might lose (although, you can't lose
something you don't acknowledge....so maybe you'll just go extinct). It
don't matter if you acknowledge the war or not, you're still going to be
involved; moreover, you're still going to die. So while whoever made the
post about Spinesreach going to the divine may think he's safe - he has
no idea.


Let us take a similar example: There is a bird. I refuse to admit that
it is a bird. I believe, in fact, that it is a fish. The fact that I do
not acknowledge it as a bird does not change the fact that it is a bird.
Similarly, the fact that you do not acknowledge a war as present, does
not change the fact that someone has declared war on you. I mean, if you
enjoy death and defeat that much just keep on like you are.

It is sad that you people are such cowards these days.
