[QUOTE="Serpenteye, post: 181987, member: 1492"] Oh, but they did repond. They said that the Union of Worlds was oppressive and we had to be destroyed (or something like that) after that there was no point in negotiations. It was obvious from the very beginning that they would accept nothing but our complete and utter surrender. That is not an option. Ever. And, you are joking right? The terraakians is the worst thing that has happened to the IR. They are offering peace at the price of subjugation. If everybody in the IR surrenders to them we will all have our actions dictated by NPCs. What made the IR great was the incredible freedom it gave the players. We could run amok and let our imaginations create wonders. Now, if we surrender, that will end. And unless we then would rebell against the terraakians the IR would truly end. The fun would end (at least much of it, and any is too much) This situation is not a cold war. The superpowers made that all by themselves, it was not forced upon them by your God or any other alien influence. The cold war started, and ended, because of human free will.
