Title: War Were Declared
Post by: Espwn on October 24, 2012, 05:03:32 am
 
An Official Declaration of War:
visitors can't see pics , please register or login



We the students of Freemont Community College approach the fine people of New and Old Calradia to announce our intent to wage war against the KuTT and their Oppressive Emperor, Tanken the Muted.

KuTT has claimed to be doing naught but frolicking in the snow, making snow angels and having snowball fights within their forts.  But the snow only covers up the cold, heartless stone beneath. They have exhibited dishonorable behavior toward us; please allow me to bring their most heinous crimes into the light for Unholy Judgement.  The flames from their forges burn bright, ringing thunderously in the night with the birth of every new weapon with which to supply our enemies.  This does not sit well with our people.  They sent a spy into our communications network and then unashamedly misled the world about our intentions. They have repeatedly stolen S&D from hard-working and innocent Calradians, gleefully depleting the resources required to sustain a commoner’s way of life.

And what about the smaller nations that these vicious Tyrants have trampled over? Emperor Tanken has bullied these people out of their abodes thus creating a tragedy that makes even the gods weep. We desire to right the wrong they have inflicted upon these people and allow them to rise up into independence.  We beckon the valiant warriors of these lands to release their burning passion, fueled by a seething hatred of The Oppressor.

Emperor Tanken rules with an iron-fist by prohibiting his own people from speaking with the other factions. He keeps the majority of his people in slave labor, toiling away in the cold winter to create goods that Tanken and his trusted advisors can sell to get even richer. The word “Free” is not a mere title of our home, but an ideal we believe in. We have come to liberate all the hard-working New Calradians.  To help them to create a future they can call their own. Today is a beautiful day, my friends, for it is not only a bright beginning, but it is also an end. We shall usher forth a new era emancipated from the manipulation of the Tyrant of the North.

Many men and women will be dying soon. I advise you all to hold your offspring tight and make sweet love to your spouses. Make haste into the fray.  Raise your swords high.  Thrust your spears or other phallic-like objects into the air.  Let your battle-cries reverberate against the snowy mountains.

May your actions be brave.

May your deeds be honorable. 

May the gods and goddesses deem us worthy to enter Valhalla. 

Signed,
Free Companies of Calradia
(Brd, Cavalieres, Unicorns, BS, Narwhals, 187)



p.s.
Many bridges will burn in our wake and we give our condolences to Tom.

I am highly encouraging my clan to battle in real times not some bundle of sticks 4 am shit and no raiding then attacking. If my clan resorts to raiding then attacking a location I refuse to fight as that is the lowliest tactic to grace this game. I can understand some late night fights if for some reason we had to chase and it ended up late but other than that I am highly encouraging good fights not some queer coward shit I hope both sides have fun.

The terrortops has been asleep and the BS nation has almost been forgotten. We nearly decided that it was a dream between those of us left. Then the horn sounded. At first I thought it a memory of before....

But my blood began to sing and I knew that we were called. The banner has risen, those true to their BS blood will rise with it. The terrortops stalks the north. If you earned the title and still think yourself supreme, heed the call.

BS sanctions this war. May Terrortops feed

Lots of good fights coming up! Lets make this as enjoyable as possible. No baddie tactics would be nice.  Maybe Tanken could agree to the no raiding, and 4 am battles that would be great! My only regret is I just retired.  :cry:

Wish everyone the best of luck! and hope everyone has fun. That is the point of playing a game yes? Also I am on whose ever side has arbalests  :lol:

I think it is generally agreed between our two factions that we will strive for good battle times (preferably after 10pm CST during weekdays up until 1-2 am) and fair fights and have a good time without having to resort to aid from others or turn to lowly tactics.


However, I do plan to stay Supreme Overlord GrandWizard Tanken of the Tundra Territories.

By the way, my character in game is entirely modeled after this guy  :wink::

We have a few hundred arbalests +3. :))))  Not in ever fight though probably.  Ill let you know.  And yeah we are already planning for primetime fights only to the best of our ability and no raiding villages.  Legitimate raids only.  (Hats off to Gristle  who mentioned this first as an axiom for our war policy.)

Good to hear! I will have to pew pew for you at some point, remind me. That is if tanken doesn't use his Elders Guillotine on me first for treason! He is quite the harsh ruler.  :|

If Tanken beheads me, We should behead him for beheading me, to teach him beheading people is wrong.

calling raiding dishonourable is silly when all it does is prevent people from stacking gear onto no upkeep cost "population" tickets.

Yeah I see it as legitimate tactic to counter people that convert all their thousands of troops into population to avoid upkeep, but I don't think it has a legitimate use aginst villages with max 500 population.  Obviously some members of my faction have different view points just like you have a different viewpoint.  I just know that most of my clan is interested in doing legitimate fights. 

I personally see a 2500 population, 1500 troops as a good cause to have 2 fights, just because it takes so ridiculously large numbers of troops to take castles/cities when in this strat it is much harder to make enough troops to do so - 6000+ man army is not something you can put together in a day and will likely wipe out almost all your troops and leave you very vulnerable while you are fighting someone who doesn't have to pay upkeep.  2 separate fights in that instance are both stand -up fights but provide space to rebuild enough troops to actually fight someone.  I feel you can avoid the abuse of the emchanic by only using it on castle/cities and just letting the guy you are attacking know with plenty of time whether it is a raid or siege.

Where the hell are you coming up with 9-2, you made that crap up.  We said decent time slots.  6-8 pm to me is a great time slot.  Every battle we have done has been between 6 pm and 2 am.  Stop whining like  a little bitch, it just makes you sound like a tool.  No problem for both sides to get full rosters at these prime time battle times.  And next time don't whine for 3 pages on my steam over a 6 pm fight or I will post it and let everyone know what a tool you are being like.  We are doing straight up fights with you (though in most cases we will have inferior gear) at good time slots and you still whine.

Well, Honestly is see your point Kesh, However Tanken tends to work till closer to 9 if I remember right...  I have problems with battles that extend past 11:30ish. For tanken's sake would it be all to hard to try to get in at least a few fights around 9:00-10:00 pm.  Totally not selfish on my part. :rolleyes:

And I didn't whine to you, I just called you out on the bitch leader you are. Hiring Merc Armies when your faction alone is perfectly capable to put up a good fight, attacking outside times we had said preferred. Calling me a tool, that's cute.

Lulz for the win.  We hired mercenaries just like you could have - it cost us a lot of gold we could have spent on gear instead like you did.  You stated the 10-2, becasue that allows you persoanlly to be at all the fights, but 6-2 is reasoanble and allows both sides to get full rosters.  We are doing everything fair and legitimate, I understand your angst at losing your stalinesque empire, but I don't need to be bitched at becasue I attacked at 6 or 8 at night.  4 am, 10 am - these are horrible time slots, 6 and 8 pm, not in the slightest.

Listen to you, "Lulz for the win." That's cute. Go count your pubes or something. That's not just a time that works for me, that time works for a lot of KUTTs. A lot of members are West Coast, and I figured if we're going to be drawn into fighting this war, if you want it to be fun, then make it at good times and don't resort to lowly tactics. We haven't called for one ounce of aid from anyone, and I figured you guys had balls to fight us heads up but you've avoided any real fights so far. It will be interesting to see what happens when you fight us in an actual battle, and preferably one after 9pm Central.

We already had 2 tonight after 9 pm.  And yes you get help from Hospitallers, trade exchanges bringing lots of gold (saw the 50K deposited in Bhulaban also) and mercs helping fill he rosters.12 battles tomorrow, really expect all crunched between 9-2 miraculously.  Seriously, stop being so derp, nothing works out perfectly and no we are not going to let you run caravans just because its not between 9 and 2.

One night of battles and Tanken has already been reduced to a child. The same man who made thoughtful, well collected posts like these:

You guys seem to keep missing the point.


I'm not going to go out and declare war on all these faraway factions and run my resources even further into the ground as I continue to reinforce Hospitaller and then send armies of my own to fight. Kesh, you have no clue what you are talking about. We are not rocking +3 Plate, Warhorses, German greatswords. Where do you get this idea from? Last strat, if you had been around and not ran and quit, you would see that we always brought fairly reasonable gear and made the fights fun, but we did so by waiting until both ourselves, and our enemies were equipped so we knew the battles would be worth it and fought at a good time and a good capacity for both sides.


If you want to declare war on KUTT, go for it. You have plenty of pretense to do so I'm sure, except the spy, which is your own fault for just not being smart enough to go to different channels. Continue to run your mouth about my leadership and blah blah blah, except I'm playing this game for the long haul, sorry that I don't share the NA ideology of WAR WAR WAR WAR FUCK YEAH WAR MAN, OH SHIT NO ARMOR? FUCK IT WAR! NO WEAPONS? FUCK IT WARRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Please don't let my Diplomacy talks discourage your liking of the whole clan. I am one man, there are nearly 40 of us.


4 days and 6 hours later, has been reduced to this:

Gristle, it is because I intellectually checkmated him by calling him out on his lack of integrity. So now he has resort to sarcasm and playing the fool to cover up his insecurities from being shown the truth.

I fear Gristle and Gmnotutuo may win the 2nd forum war of strategus and we may never even have to fight KUTT!  That would be disappointing if you make Tanken rage-quit, please go easy on him, he's special!  :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Ladies and gentlemen: the leader of KUTT.


I'm not the leader of KUTT, and Gmnomututo or whatever has never told me as to why they are mad at me or dislike me. I sent the PM to them a while back as a jest because up until that point we'd never had a problem. Hell, the first time we ever interacted was on your Strategus Diplomacy page where I simply said "hello neighbors" and Gmno and I shared some banter back and forth that was light-hearted. Then out of nowhere I'm belittled to "juvenile". The click you guys have just sways opinions of people.

Sure, not my brightest hour or my best comments, but really. If you're going to be mad at me, at least have the decency to say why you are mad. I have done my best to be civil in most means, I even let my girlfriend join your clan so that she could enjoy the game more than she was in KUTT. I have picked up the ball of strategus whereas some others in my clan have left it sitting. All I stated today was that these times were no good--and what do I get? The past two pages. I clearly stated the times that worked best for us as a clan, I also did not cry when you guys went to war with us, nor did I put up a fight when you guys kindly came to our teamspeak to declare war.

I just thought your members would have more honor and tact in some of their choices, but you can't expect everyone to carry themselves appropriately when your clan has 10 leaders and a variation of mindsets as to how stuff has been done. I like to stir the pot, I like to keep the fire burning, but I am sorry if that has characterized your view of me as something less than someone who just enjoys this game.

I get it, your clan and members have been around a long time. There's respect to be owed to that or however you want to call it. Your clan is larger than ours and your reputation carries more weight. So be it. But we are going to do our very best to make sure our members do not topple during this war and that we remain strong as a clan despite the outcome and I ask that you do not let myself, one of the voices of our clan, sway your entire opinion of our clan and that my talks on diplomacy--however uncivil or childish you may deem them, sway your opinion of me as a person.

Thanks.

Pretty sure Dutchy just tried to attack me after my battle.  That would have placed the battle 1 hour after battle ended, since I have 1 hour immunity, which would have been in the forbidden zone.  Good thing he couldn't catch me in time, or you'd be going against your word.

My mistake. You are listed as 1 of 4 leaders, and you carry yourself as a leader.

Gotta loosen up, Tanken. You'll never make it through the war if you take it too seriously. I don't have any problems with you save for 1 thing: Get your story straight on the subject of us quitting last strat. You've been told the story once already, and I hate it when people post unfounded bullshit. That's where all of my dislike for Hosp comes from.

Unfounded accusations pours out of almost every faction out there, I agree with you its annoying beyond belief, and is frustrating as hell as you constantly feel the need to set the record straight, But want to reassure everyone once more we are working on it, Even given the last few days I'm sure you must have noticed the lack of post's by certain hospitaller members.. They were warned, and hopefully we will come of as a more respected clan as that is our main player base, Not the few fourm posters who may have tarnished our reputation in the past.

Sorry if the times are not to your liking. Personally for me and the east coaster the times later today are great. I think I will be in 8ish fights today. Fcc keep it civil. Name calling is not needed or respected.

Caravan fights happen when they are caught. Nothing can be done about those. The rest we try and fir in as best possible. Our group has members across the map. I am very happy with the times today.. We all know East coast best coast

Clarify 2 things - KUTT is actually larger than FCC (between all the former Lost Legion and Haven members that joined KUTT) and 2)  You don't allow your girlfriend to join a clan, I didn't tell Trillian she had to join our clan, that's like a 1950's and earlier mentality where women can only do an activity if their worser half says its okay.  Woman's movement has come and passed, accept it and embrace your inner woman.

I have itchy forum posting trigger fingers, don't complain or bitch at me if you are worried about that - we have 9 other leaders, just hop on TS and talk to them - they probably handle complaining better, I'm the bad cop not the good cop.  I help coordinate a lot of movements on the strat map and I and many of my clanmates have done everything possible to make these fights at prime time so both teams can have full rosters, even if it means sitting around for hours before initiating an attack, and then to have someone complain and berate you afer all that effort is insulting.

P.S.  I don't think either side will allow caravans to just run 1000 crates right by the other's noses just because its not 6 pm to 3am est.  Even most of those caravan fights we set up yesterday range from 6 to 9 pm and we delayed the really big village fight for 11 pm est.  There really was no reason to complain or get upset.

In a pretty unbiased view on Tanken (we've had both good and bad interactions) - he can be either a rather mature adult or a raging adolescent depending on the moment and the situation.
In his defense, so can a lot of people in this game/forums*, and some are only ever the second.

He does not like that we contracted DL and Remnants to work for us
Title: Re: War Were Declared
Post by: oprah_winfrey on October 26, 2012, 04:21:15 pm
The way I understand it is the remnant contract is a strict mercing agreement (ie: no troops/gear given), so that accounts for what like four or five people in the battle?

I can see the dl one being a bit annoying since it appears to be backed up by anders troops. But that still doesnt seem like a huge deal.

on too of that, you guys may be equal in size, but don't forget fcc is at war with two clans that are their size. Although hospitaller is a little preoccupied at the moment.

Why thank you! I do perform my contracts reasonably and to client specification!

They hired my full army for a single attack on 1 of their fiefs. Ulburban, for the price of 100g per armed troop.(roughly) I think I'm going to stick to that rate as it works best for me.

I was going to Raid and then strike ulburban, so as to remove the fight out of it, but I'll take a good ol' brawl anyday. Better xp this way and I KNOW i can make that battle :). I choose the battle time for this one and not FCC, so if you have any complaints over my time, go ahead and complain that one to me. I didn't want a late night battle as tomorrow i gotta work, and it'll be a hellish day. BIG football game tomorrow and shit's going to be busy.

With a 50 man troop garrison in your castle and you days away, it's a surprise someone didn't raid and then siege the castle for that 70k you got in there.

On that note, I shouldn't be able to see that your castle is ripe for the picking when I'm 50,000+ meters away, that's just fucking retarded, but apparently that's the way chadz likes it.

This strat is more geared up for it. People should try and do this. If more people did, I'm sure we'd have more fun and interesting strats. The only limiter is troop size for myself.

You think I don't have a guard there :wink:

It may not be much, But I've got more than enough money just waiting in reindi on my mates if things really did get dicey. Truth be told, I did want the money on ME rather than in the castle, but it's all good.

The last part of the merc deal was FCC guaranteeing the castle.
