The Mariner's tale begins with his ship departing on its journey. Despite initial good fortune, the ship is driven south off course by a storm and eventually reaches Antarctica. An albatross appears and leads them out of the Antarctic but, even as the albatross is praised by the ship's crew, the Mariner shoots the bird ("with my cross-bow / I shot the albatross"). The crew is angry with the Mariner, believing the albatross brought the south wind that led them out of the Antarctic.

Now look what you went and did. Why did you shoot the albatross, Canary?

Tundra Birds

There are over 100 species of birds that occupy the Arctic tundra in the summer. Everything from geese to owls to falcons fill the air and water. Almost all of these birds head south for the winter. Only a few birds stay in the cold winter tundra.

Members of the ptarmigan family, like the bird in this picture, make the tundra their home all year round. They are a speckled brown color in the summer and change to a bright white in the winter. They eat leaves and berries.

(click to show/hide)

Sub-species of the ptarmigan family, commonly known as partygan flock, are known to reside in the tundra year round. They represent a lively branch of their parent species and can be seen socializing and congregating in numbers to twitter and frolic to attract mates. A typical example of a male bird of the partygan species can be seen in this picture and is easily recognized by its decorative head pattern and beak extension.

(click to show/hide)

Studies have shown members of the partygan family of birds residing in the tundra to display quite territorial traits. Especially during strategic times, such as mating season (which curiously occurs year-round for this sub-species), any type of trespassing of other bird species into their territory is seen as a threat.

Within minutes these usually so lovable partygan birds turn into fierce war birds.

(click to show/hide)

In a bond rarely seen elswhere in nature, the partygan birds are aided by other resident species in the protection of their territorial tundra claims. They congregate to join their flock in driving away intruding rival bird species and thus maintain the purity of their partygan flock.

You wake from your slumber to a tapping at the door.  You free yourself from the body beside you and emerge from your pile of furs.  You know what this sound means, and you hesitate.  The tapping gets faster, more urgent.  You open the door and a small, tired bird flies onto your hand where it shudders and dies.  Tied to it's leg is a tiny scroll. 

You open it:

Shamefur dispray.

Corrected.


Also, I really don't get why canary bothers saying he wants an ideal war with equal sized parties and then attacks repeatedly only factions much  much smaller and weaker than his own - fallen after they were already being attacked by 4 other factions, teutons after they were already being attacked by 5 factions, BIRD clan a 1-man faction (25, 000 chaos troops against 2,000 BIRD clan).  Sigh, i guess the GODKING made many humans, but I guess he forgot to make some of them brave.

Welp, considering the last war that CHAOS declared was a failed attempt at provocation against Teutonics, I would assume this is the same thing.  I'm not going to talk shit, but I think that if CHAOS intends to get involved in this war, they should just do it outright instead of trying to get another faction to attack them.  I mean, CHAOS alone has over 20,000 troops in their fiefs and you may as well throw in FIDLGB and Ildist and M8's shit too, so it's not like they have much to worry about.

I will defend BIRD CLAN, and I will do so with pride and honor, much like I have before.

IT'S ALL A TRAP

Chaos knows they stand a better chance provoking the FCC into helping BIRD clan, luring FCC away from its quick supply lines and reinforcements, THUS why they are attacking BIRD clan. If FCC comes to their aid, they have to funnel troops across two areas, or take a longer 3rd attack direction (I'm referring to the bridges in the Tundra and the one point of the river where you have to cross around to get to Bird clan fiefs). So, it was a smart move by Chaos if this is their real intention...but I'm just pointing it out because I wonder if any others really noticed the true reason for their attack.

A failed attempt that lead to them losing all of their villages. Wait, that doesn't sound like a failed attempt.

You may as well throw in FIDLGB.

Why are you dragging me into this? We didn't attack Partyboy... girl.... Godk... Godqueen.

Anytime you try to convince him that he should do something else you hear a "YOLO" as you see him go off to do it anyways.

I didn't say the war failed, but the attempt to provoke TAMDA into attacking you guys backfired, we actually ended up helping you.

A 30 member faction, according to the faction stats, has finally made their move against a faction that has only one member:

Quite, and with two slightly smaller factions at our side. Good thing we got that out of the way, we may have tried to get sympathy by claiming we were the underdog!

Also, I really don't get why canary bothers saying he wants an ideal war with equal sized parties and then attacks repeatedly only factions much  much smaller and weaker than his own - fallen after they were already being attacked by 4 other factions, teutons after they were already being attacked by 5 factions, BIRD clan a 1-man faction (25, 000 chaos troops against 2,000 BIRD clan).  Sigh, i guess the GODKING made many humans, but I guess he forgot to make some of them brave.

I don't think I have ever said directly that all I wanted was an "ideal war with equal sized parties". I know some people have mentioned that that's what they thought I wanted and was trying to do, by the actions Chaos has taken in declaring war prior to now. In reality what I wanted was to fight someone substantial who wasn't already deeply embroiled in another large war. It was unfortunate in the case of the Fallen, because of the other folks who were planning on declaring war right as we planned to. With the Teutonics, they'd been recently taking on the mostly-abandoned Frisian lands in the tundra and were at odds with them and the rest of the then TAMDA clans. There weren't major conflicts going on in the area and they weren't fighting any major wars when we engaged them. By the time we attacked them, the last real battle they'd fought was when they took Ismirala from the Frisians week before. Before that, it was over two months prior between them and KUTT.

Also, I hope you're not including FIDLGB and Republic of Mates when you list the number of factions attacking people, because that's kind of the way the cookie crumbles with us.

It's hard to play strat ideally, it's hard to keep your ideals when getting into it. That's why we've been dormant for such large stretches at a time. Well, I'm glad that's all over.

With all the threads the north has made about defense, alliances, free trade, etc.. it's hard to know where exactly the north's stand is on this.

Although it seems some of you guys are hinting at a war.. personally I didn't think this had any impact, since it's not territory in the north.

I am entering a defensive military alliance with the Bird Clan for the sake of their freedom and their ability to encourage peace and love. My 4,000 troops shall come and slay the filthy Choas that plan to ravage Nova Amere, and as the filthy bird Canary is sent back whimpering to his home to clean his feathers, I shall look upon his fleeing tail-feather and utter in triumph "gf nerd".

I would find it extremely comical if the whole community stood by partyboy and chaos got no Mercs.

Imagine it.....  1500 shiny troops lost because it was a 10 vs 50 fight
Unless those 10 players were 10 Sans.

Well, from what I've been told, Vitamins decided he wanted to attack the village, and he attacked it.  I guess CHAOS wanted to play off of it and make a drama thread, but I don't think there was any real planning behind the attack, Vitamins just kind of did it.

Fortunately, it's my spring break so I get to go anyway.

I don't mean travel time, I mean there's really no need for people to fight for territory, people only do it because it's a game and we'd never get to actually "play" if people just sat in their fiefs trying to be "bigger" than their neighbors.   We didn't have enough active people for the map when strat 4 came out, and we certainly don't now.

It's not like cRPG is dying...there's still a lot of people playing in the public servers, but strategus is an inactive wasteland

This may have been a joke based on the whims of one of our members, but remember, we here at Chaos take our jokes to the next level.

Too early for me (some of us work) or I'd be sure to sign up
yeah kind of cheesy - attacking such a tiny faction at least give a heads up with a war declaration so he can put an army there and put up some minimal defense, also can attack anytime of the day, why not just do primetime?
I would come out of retirement and support you Partyboy but I will be at work. Fairly awful time to attack.

I will apologize for the timing on the battle, it wasn't planned out, for one thing, but it is actually a better time for some of our members and our allies' members than prime time tends to be. Remember all those early battles you saw some of us at? Yeeeeeah.

I would find it extremely comical if the whole community stood by partyboy and chaos got no Mercs.

Imagine it.....  1500 shiny troops lost because it was a 10 vs 50 fight

Wouldn't be the first time someone lost because of that. However, such a drastic loss of experience and fun would be no laughing matter. Thankfully not everyone in the community is riding on the tailfeathers of BIRD CLAN, that would be incredibly boring.

Also, a pacifist in this war game? The irony is that the self-proclaimed most-aggressive-faction are also his self-proclaimed vassals and will do anything they can to help him cock up the game. Oh well, this isn't a war of ideology.

Like I said in a previous post, you are playing the game of spergs and Canary is one of the largest ones in the game. At least you still got your fief in the Tundra.

I sold him that fief, heh.

You know, I think we should all take a lesson from Partyboy.  He demonstrates how this game can be played without going to war with everyone else on the map.  People love to throw the "YOU CAN'T HAVE PEACE, THIS IS A WAR GAME!" line around, but Strategus would be 1000x better if there were more things to do with fiefs, more ways to participate, more things to do in general aside from declaring war and worrying about S&D.

I want the ability to play an effective Nomad, but it's difficult when the only way to get gold and gear is by going into fiefs, and 90% of the map is hostile to everyone but themselves and their friends.  MORE PLAY STYLES PLZ

Screw you Cannery you birdnerd, you know nothing of our factions! Also this is not a "LET'S PLAY ARMY MEN AND GO EAT CHEESE BURGERS AND DRIVE OUR TRUCKS HOME" game, this is a strategical roleplaying game. Do you see the difference? It's right in the name of the overall mod: classic ROLEPLAYING GAME (cRPG). People who take other routes to making the game enjoyable instead of just fighting are really enriching the experience. It's a shame there just aren't more ways for them to roleplay because Strategus is seriously just a bare bones game when you get down to it. It's like in Mount and Blade, a lot of fun was not just from the military campaigns and fief management but also from roleplay, tournaments, marriages, politics, quests, etc.

I'm pretty busy irl this weekend so prob sunday unless one of my vassals wants to attack it first to weaken the defenses.  I mean, they are sitting on over 20k troops in all their fiefs, a mere quickmarch away, so I'm not holding out much hope for me considering how they grind 30x more troops per hour than I do.

Also, begone foul spirit back to the crypts of the powerless and worthless on strat! begone smoothrich!  Or go waste another semenstorm army in a poorly planned attack if you feel like it.

This is one of those few moments where I agree with Kesh. Warnings/Mutes and such on the Diplomacy forum seem to hardly ever follow any real set standards as to what constitutes what type of punishment. It is entirely up to the Moderator whether they want to give you a warning, and they get to decide how heavy of a % it is. Not to mention I'm sure (but not saying this is always the case) their person bias plays more into who receives and what is dealt.

What's really amusing is what group the moderator who did give you the warning belongs to.

Stop displaying such a persecution complex, none of the moderators or admins are "out to get you" (anymore!). I am entirely capable of refuting the bullshit you continue to spew onto this board by responding to it directly. If I give you a warning, it won't be because I disagree with the message you post.

If you really think personal bias is playing a large part with who is receiving forum warnings you are not paying enough attention. Furthermore, I was briefed by the people in charge of the forums when I got the position as to how to decently assign warning levels.

Someone's a little upset it seems. I love how you took this as a personal attack moreso than me just pointing out what happened. You say you guys have standards? Is that what constitutes +22 warning level just to make sure someone reaches a Muted status? hehe. You silly bird.

It can be upsetting when a repetitious series of complaints is given by people who don't understand how the system works or who refuse to acknowledge that they might have done something wrong that earned them a forum warning.

For example, warnings levels can only be set to multiples of 5, if you received a number that is not a multiple of five as a warning it is because some of your warning level from a past day had decayed to the point where issuing another warning gives you such a result. Sometimes the goal is not to merely issue warning level, but to mute someone! The resulting warning might not seem like a nice, round number! Or maybe the moderator decided that a normal-sized warning issued would be too extreme, muting the people for days beyond what they really deserve.


I might drop 1k plate off before I attack so I know I can get the most xp out of the limited troops I have, tbh

Our stuff in there would be mail-tier, I should think.

edit:
Oh well, I'll drop it. Canary has the final word on anything we say here, I was just merely agreeing with Kesh.

Continue on with your Diplomatic discussion, sorry to interrupt the seriousness that was unfolding here.

I have the final say on whether you're following the board guidelines or not, yes. Whether you're wrong or not is up to you.

Thank you.

Perhaps you should make an attempt to educate such offenders, in order to increase their quality of posting.  Otherwise, we are just bound to repeat the same mistakes as the American penal system.

It's like those posters are doing it w/o realizing that it's not the norm, just because what they are experiencing seems like the only thing that could ever be true (in their perspective).  Uuuuuugh if only there was a word for it.

You realize by that very loose definition 90% of this and most threads in the diplomacy section are "shitposting."  But i guess the warning comes when it refers to a moderator or his faction. 

There is a reason that most people have a green badge under to their name...

Can you explain this to people who still have no clue how forum things work outside of what I set for myself?  I mean, to the left of my post there are box things and a title I didn't choose and ugh

I will kindly ask you all to ]STOP POSTING ABOUT FORUM MODERATION in the diplomacy section. It has no bearing on what is going on in strategus and I assure you the moderators are only upholding the standards of the forums here without their personal interests getting in the way.

Now you are just trolling.

That's funny. No, I didn't. This is not the first time you called me out for the actions of another moderator, either. I would call sad the fact that you still try to harangue me every time you get a forum warning.

What's really amusing is what group the moderator who did give you the warning belongs to.

Stop displaying such a persecution complex, none of the moderators or admins are "out to get you" (anymore!). I am entirely capable of refuting the bullshit you continue to spew onto this board by responding to it directly. If I give you a warning, it won't be because I disagree with the message you post.

And, as tends to be typical, people in agreement with Kesh are agreeing with what he says is happening and not with the truth of what's happening. Besides which, there are set standards set up for the forums as a whole (http://forum.meleegaming.com/announcements/forum-rules/) and for the diplomacy section (http://forum.meleegaming.com/diplomacy/important-diplomacy-forum-rules/), just because you want to continue to ignore them or disagree with them and think they suck does not mean we're moderating entirely at our personal whim. If you really think personal bias is playing a large part with who is receiving forum warnings you are not paying enough attention. Furthermore, I was briefed by the people in charge of the forums when I got the position as to how to decently assign warning levels.

Please stop posting massive articles about forum moderation in the diplomacy section (http://forum.meleegaming.com/diplomacy/important-diplomacy-forum-rules/). It takes away from my immersion of the roleplay element in here.

Thank you for your understanding.

What's this? An army of ninja squirrels come to get the drop on us? (http://c-rpg.net/index.php?page=battlesupcoming#!?page=battledetail&id=3202) Well we shall not have any of that, shall we!

Having already conquered the owl, we can turn our heads all the way around to see what's behind us.

What happens when two people click attack on each other? Well obviously the one with higher agility doesn't get a better initiative.

You can never defeat a ninja. I will retreat and come back, doing whatever I can to harass and annoy your clan until the end of 4.0.

You ruined my glorious RP post too and shamed my ancestors by not MAKING AN OFFICIAL THREAD ABOUT IT. That is the highest of crimes.

I was really sad when I saw no troops in Nova Amere, but then you guys put the 1k back in and that made me happy :)

Seriously going to be sick exp, especially if Chaos brings their good shit too.  I don't have many troops, being 1 person on the tick system is brutal, but I spent ~500k on this shit for heavy armour b/c I think it's armour weight that makes xp.
