Why?
It makes the Machines look weak and it's not like Zion need more numbers when fighting the Mervs.
Personally when I heard about the truce I was disappointed, and even more disappointed when fellow Machines are sending me tells about not attacking Zion members. Why shouldn't I? I was never asked if i wanted to go along with it, it was decided by I don't even know who and everyone seems ok to just bend over and follow. I'm sure the Mervs are laughing at us all right now. I know I would be, because what has it changed?
I'm pretty sure most of the Zion PvPers know that I'm not taking part in the truce and am more than happy to attack and be attacked by them. I wish other Machines would forget the truce. Half the time it seems that it's just a matter of "oh we'll follow it for now, but if we run out of red, you're next"
Is there even a goal we're aiming for? To suppress the Mervs from PvP? Impossible, and who wants that anyway? The truce sounds like an RP decision to me, but like many others I'm not an RPer. One member of a large RP Machine faction called me a traitor for killing a Zion in front of him, I was shocked.
Many Machines I know would shoot a Zion over a Merv, but are still taking part in this truce.
Are the same people who decided to truce, who made a decision on the behalf of all the players of their org (which in my eyes is just presumptuous and a bit rude) going to be the ones who call it off? And if so when? What is the goal you are trying to achieve and how can you make it happen with this truce?
These truces can never last, and when it ends there will be a big PvP battle. I only hope I am there to join in the fun we have all been missing out on for too long already.
