So, in the spirit of peace I offer these terms: LCO will transfer 650 heavily armed troops to the aggrieved party (Aezrayal_13K) to make up for his losses. As for the lost trade goods we wish 100,000 silver to be transferred to him. And, for the mental anguish and inconvenience caused by this unjustified attack, we seek an additional 750,000 silver as punitive damages.
Or perhaps 600,000 gold as our armies are already built and armed and ready for shit, plus the fact that rumours of Strat ending seem likely.
So as you can see, we of the 13 Knights are open to reason. We will give you several days to consider our generous offer in the name of peace, but otherwise we will feel the need to open a can of whupass on yo sorry butts in the name of the 13 Knight's dignity and honour.
Amicably yours,
Bryggan,

Incident report: A 13 Knight's caravan was attacked near New Derchios Castle while on its way to Knudarr Castle. Bryggan must react to this outrage or lose face among his subjects.
Well, Bryggan (me) did react. Perhaps overreacted. A declaration of war was just a knee jerk impulse, but time has passed and I realize that negotiation is better than blood shed. I realize now that the attack was accidental; just due to one man overreacting to perceived (re delusional) threats from outsiders. But it was his job to stop people from entering Derchios castle, so I forgive him. And I would like to apolgize to LCO for my hasty reaction; gearing for war when a diplomatic solution is so much better than shedding the blood of so many innocents.

We have reason to believe Goretooth did not act alone. A caravan guard passing through LCO lands messaged me the other night. He told me several weeks ago he was leaving the tavern in New Dhirim and stopped to take a piss in the back alley. He says he saw two shadowy figures there and decided to eavesdrop. This is what he heard:(click to show/hide)
This leads me to believe that Goretooth was trying to improve his relations with one of the more belligerent LCO lords. I only wish he was asked to deliver a letter or train 7 recruits instead. But what is done is done.
As for the recompensation, Azraeyal had 1800 goods, which he could have sold at 350% at 25 silver per good which, according to my shaky math, is 157,500 silver, minus tax. As for the punitive damages, can you really put a price on anguish and mental suffering? Azraeyel was more like a father to his troops than a commander. He took the time to talk to each one of them, learned about their families and their hopes and dreams, and would host a pizza night every thursday for them. He loved them, and they loved him.
But we are reasonable men. We will reduce the punitive damages to 500,000 silver, and round down the value of the goods to 150,000 silver, for a grand total of 650,000. But in exchange for our magnanimity, we ask that LCO charge Goretooth with treason, and strip him of his lands and titles and boot him from the faction. We would also like them to find the 'unidentified voice' and do the same to him. We suspect it's Chevalier Panda. His very name gives him away. While I do not Panda at all, his name suggests a homicidal maniac who will stop at nothing to spread bloodshed and mayhem over the length and breadth of Calradia. Panda. Ooh, just saying the name gives me shivers.
And, once LCO delivers us our generous offer, we would not use the gear and troops against them because if we did, no one would ever trust us again, plus LCO seems like a bunch of decent guys who already have their hands full fighting off Jack's plated armies. Except for Panda. That guy freaks me out.
True, I do not know Panda. My accusations are based entirely on her name, which reeks of violence, bloodshed and hatred. And I believe that in itself would stand up in a medieval courtroom.
Aezrayal was aware of the dangers of trading. He had been trading for quite some time without any incident. He was armed enough to deal with small time raiders, and wise enough to avoid the armies of the more aggressive factions. But he trusted Les Chevaliers Occitan. Their very name is based on chivalry- ie protect the weak and use honour in their dealings. From a chevalier one expects notification of an attack, a fair fight, and mercy for the loser. He didn't get any of those.
As for the sheep incident, he explained to me that it was because of a drunken dare that got a little out of hand. He does say the sheep enjoyed it as much as his men did though.
The horrible, horrible things I did for the Squids is all on their own shoulders. I was hired as a privateer, aimed at crippling the Squid's enemies economy while boosting theirs. And due to communication problems, I ended up attacking some of their allies too, so it all came out even in the end. As for the attack on the Astralis member, that was done out of love. The poor guy was unarmed and just loaded with crates. So just like a father may take away his boy's bicycle that he found lying around unlocked, I took away his crates. It was painful, but it was a lesson that needed to be learned. This also prevented those crates from falling into unsavory hands.
So we believe we acted with honour in our raping and pillaging, and we expect LCO to do the same.

HIS. I find this quite offensive!!!! I am not 12 : (
Damn, looks like I have to apologize again. Sorry :oops:
But you must realize that when you choose a name like 'Panda', people will fear and mistrust you. All I did was look through the names of your faction, and decided yours was the most fearsome. So, be honest, was it or was it not you that induced Goretooth to attack me?
But the letter! We tortured the guy to death just to make sure it wasn't a fake!
wtf? panda is a chick?!
wtf? panda is a chick?!
No sir, I did not. Goretooth does his own thing. He's never really followed anyone, or listened.:mrgreen:
what is currently happening for those who are having trouble following (Albus children are dying cuz LCO rekt me)Albus/Aezrayil same person(click to show/hide)
Not a peep out of them. I guess they figured because we are a small clan we are not worthy of diplomacy. Their arrogance knows no bounds. They will change their minds when we lay waste to their lands with fire and sword.you could fight me again.

nha we just lost inerest into the game sorry man have fun figthing ghostThese ghosts are tough adversaries though. Fearless Albus lead his soldiers into the spooky village known as New Mechin the other day (Bryggan and I weren't scared of going into New Mechin and facing the undead we just.....) and upon entering New Mechin, Albus was set on by 200 of these spotless floating bedsheets and he and his men ran fled the village, forgetting all their armour and weapons.
Just saw bryggan hanging out, was going to re-attack a village but attacked him instead. Figured it was better than sitting idly with an army until strat ends.
I can't make the battle though, like usual I'll be playing with my son after work. Figured I'd give some fun to the people who still play :)
We're the creationists on the left:

Do you see the bow-tie that child is repping? He's not dressed for halloween, he's trying to provide for his whore father and beggar mother
Haha...the people on the right are supposed to be the royal family. Their son is the nicest kid ever, he was getting candy from one house, and putting it in the basket of the next house we went to. We got a lot of candy for "our son" that night :twisted:
need more people to sign up for this battle tonight
Not gonna lie, your wife needs to work on where she places her thumb when holding your baby in future pictues. :wink:
Haha didn't even notice it...who would even be looking there :shock:
Also what a terrible amount of people showed up tonight...pathetic. RIP strat
Hey now... some things just stand out. :mrgreen:
And I may or may not be a dumbass, since I missed the battle due to daylight savings. Regardless, I am sure I'm not the only potential dumbass in crpg who missed it for the same reason!
