I'm surprised no one has brought up strat 3 and server restarts.
Before this he took advantage of prior knowledge of Pale Horsemen being banned and had 1000 heavily armed army with over 100K in their fiefs the day they got banned for no valid reason being in their territory far from hero_party or chaos' lands and bought up all their S&D.
Since this hasn't affected me or my clan, there is no reason for me to cry. It is just an observation. Just trying to make the game better.
This is not an observation, this is pure speculation. You are making assumptions about what happened and denying anything else as an explanation because it doesn't fit into your conspiracy theory.
I do not buy the we happened to be in the area attacking fallen. Just in time to divert and eat up the sd. *
Seems fishy. Same as I said to u in vent when u came in.
we saw what you were doing and beat you to the other fief. we are also giving the fiefs back and gold.
Since they are back in game.
Well, since you are all so unwilling to believe what actually happened, maybe I shouldn't bother to reiterate, but I will anyway. Shik was up North to assist us, Chaos, against Fallen. He found out about Pale Horsemen's bans around the same time we did (Malaclypse is IRL friends with Rhalzo, I think we actually knew about it before Shik did). He didn't divert east into their territory until sometime early that morning. The proximity of the Horsemen's territory to that of ours where Shik was heading is not so far that it's unreasonable to believe that he could've made it there when he did without prior knowledge of the bans.
* Just happened to have shine army and enough gold for upkeep plus enough to buy 15,000 goods.
amazingly after u sold the sd to chaos you did not follow thru on that fallen attack. guess u changed your mind after walking half the map.
And evidently someone doesn't understand how hero_party operates. It's a faction of heroes, in the sense of a single-player campaign. Each hero works on his own, making his own way and orchestrating his own trades. Being an individualist faction, it's not surprising that a hero in the field would hold most of their earthly belongings on them, gold included, for their own benefit.
They are, however, a faction that works together despite all of that. Shik had been asked by other members of hero_party to return to the desert to assist them because of a separate war burgeoning on the horizon. If I were Shik I'd have had second thoughts about throwing all my tickets at Tilbaut Castle as well, after seeing the battles that played out there. Nothing "amazing" about it.
I must be the only one who actually enjoys waking up earlier than normal to fight battles... somehow it's invigorating. Work-hour daytime battles, on the other hand, are bad for business, so to speak.
