OOC: This is really getting out of hand. Alarik and I have been allied since the beginning of this game, and that was because of a common threat on a border we shared. Beyond that we have had very little contact. IIRC, we have been in a game or two, but not as close allies.

As to the war, that is old news. There were two targets and I went after the D-O. As part of a larger coalition I might add.

Now to upsetting the balance of the game, I would think that you would be happy. His empire was much stronger in his hands then it will be in mine. I am far form being one of the more skilled players in this game.

To the surrender of the D-O and who they chose to surrender to, I can not speak. I was not a party to any of the discussions. But I would add that they at least surrendered to someone that they were actually at war with. Unlike the surrender their partner made.

In closing the OOC part, I would like to remind everyone that this is just a game. We are supposed to be enjoying the challenges that it presents.
