*shallam has a penchant for defiling shrines? Just *shallam? You yourself wanted conflict - seriously, what did you expect? Something new and completely different?
Rushing to witness when it's obviously just an opportunity to gank is of no use to the Order. Rushing to a room away and squinting in to know who your enemy is, sure. Chances are if you throw your life at them, they're just going to use your body to defile further.
Feeling the blow of a shrine being defiled should be important, but not whine worthy. I've rebuilt more shrines than I can count and often emote some sort of ceremony with each one. It is a job well done, on behalf of mortals, to show respect and loyalty to a Divine, and should be treated as such.
Getting the enemy back. While I personally suck at combat, I can fully respect its role in the game. I prefer a bit of trash-talk (even if it gets me killed) or retaliating in kind to their offensive, by defiling shrines in return. Personally, I generally defile alone and wait a few minutes. My actions have consequences, and if Wattsee is mad enough to defile, he's certainly mad enough to let everyone know it was him. Do I sit on a full stack of vibrations and wait to gank? No. Do I def the hell up and reflection whore? Absolutely. It's not my intention to die, it's my intention to be disrespectful/harmful on a theological level.
(~35 shrines)
You do not think Hashan knows what defeat is? I am sure all those around for the Qashari occupations would testify against that, and *Shallam does have a penchant for defiling that is merely a fact. No need for the hostile tone here in the forums, not sure where that is stemming from; it is only a game, man.
Even still, Twilight's order is relatively small and unlikely to always call for help when shrines are being attacked. Defiling is a fine opener but it is a boring form of conflict overall.
Of course, if you're into PK and you're defiling orders whose membership contains people who are also into PK, it's a great way to get combat on demand, I suppose, but those assumptions don't really apply to the rest of Achaea as a whole.
Also, @Thaumas, Lorielan (until very recently) was a Good god, and that Order didn't care at all about shrines either. It happens. Furthermore, given the sort of place that Hashan is, and given the importance of information control, it's perfectly valid RP for @Vayne to have his population believe that defeat is impossible. Hell, that's the reason propaganda's existed for most of recorded history in some way, shape, or form. (Granted, when people invariably rise up to make posts in the City or on public, I would really, really prefer that the phrase 'we do not negotiate with terrorists' make an appearance this time.)
On topic, I love Hashan's neutrality because Hashan isn't neutral; it's "neutral." That is to say, my impression is that Hashan is pro-Hashan first, pro-its Gods a close second (and depending on the God, those two priorities might have the order reversed), and in a distant third is everything else, and if you make a deal with Hashan or the Hashani, there's very much a sense of constantly having to question 'what are they getting out of it?' It's all about the mind games, of which there aren't enough in Achaea any more.
