Title: Summer Lovin

Before the battle of Bulugur two emissaries from Les Chevaliers Occitans arrived in the FCC camps. We did not have time for talks so we asked Occitan_Kap10 and Occitan_Queen_Butterfly to travel along with the warband. Little did we know that as we marched to war they would gear up and fight with us.

As I stood among of dead, covered in blood, I looked to my left and saw the two LCO Diplomats smiling. They had a pile of bodies equal to the best of the BS Heroes. What a good place to start a new era. FCC and LCO have come to the table. Kesh and Arowaine have renewed their love.

As part of the deal FCC, LCO, and SS members are free to merc for or against each other however they wish with no hard feelings

FCC/LCO/SS ceasefire is in place till July 1st with option to renew the peace or resume the hostility.

Signed

we are not allied with LCO. Just a ceasefire. They have things they want to do and we have things we want to do. Maybe in a month we talk it over again and see how things go.

I'm Kesh's dad/alt and if Arowaine plans on taking Kesh's hand in marriage, he best come to me asking permission as well as have a nice castle to offer as well. My daughter's hand costs a fortune.

Not going to lie, being the enemy of FCC and mercing regularly against them has been a nightmare, especially when I am cav. I was always raging at their discipline and tactics, pikes and hoplites always fanned out, good eyes on defense or offense protecting all the flanks. And destroying KUTT as a strength build 2hander always on the front lines for FCC at the start of this strat was always a blast. Been meaning to merc for some FCC battles in the near future too when I can make it, since I enjoy endless crutch gear an good meat shields of players protecting my back.

Fun wars, hilarious memories (remember when Kesh was banned for a week lol) and I hope it is only a matter of time before one side betrays the other and violates all terms of this treaty.  Vive le SS, LCO, FCC, and drama!

Just a story.

In truth Kap had the most kills for us 110-30
I came in third at 78-37

Was a great battle and was very close to being a complete fail but risk was worth the chance.

Saw Kesh moving a huge troop count when I asked him what he was doing he said.. capping LL flags! Yeah that sounds like something we would try.

You are right - 32 must seem like a lot to you since you have yet to kill 32 in a battle as far as as i can tell.  78 kills must be mythical.
Title: Re: Summer Lovin
Post by: BaleOhay on May 29, 2013, 11:18:21 pm
Again it is a story.... Not a literal interpretation of events.

78-37 is a fine score. Not bad for leading the battle and being a shielder.

Confirmed for Fgt. Get over yourself Saxton, You're moment of fame is over. Just in case you didn't notice in "Homo in the Grass Thread" All of FCC's enemies pretty much came together and sympathized With FCC to trash you. You're nothing. The faster everyone forgets you exist, the better the community will be. You're also missing a chromosome.

I am disappointed in Occitan/SS. You hold off the armies of VE and gain territory only to stop your campaign well short of its potential and turn craven. This peace treaty means nothing except that you will take the place of VE as being the large complacent faction that will usually merc for FCC. Goodbye sweet exp that could have been. God have mercy on FIDLGB, God have mercy on the Frisians, and may God have mercy on your souls.

The people that have the balls are apparently in the smaller factions. By balls i mean testicles. What I'm saying is if you're a part of this bum hugging anal fest of peace you lack the testicular fortitude to do shit on your own. It's OK though. Who wants to have fun talking shit and fighting large battles when we just all be allies and play trading sim 2013.

Actually I called you pussies for only attacking fiefs we'd taken and abandon when you've got 40+ members and all the other douchelords who've joined you. Remnant I'm looking at you.

Edit: we have 6 active members. If we had 40+ we'd be at war all strat too. Don't be fucking stupid Bale.

So clever but please refer to my first post. We'll never know because you lacked the balls/brains to attack us without the endless yawshawned armies of the FCC. Matey lead the charge. Remnant is now nothing more than another one of Kesh's accounts. No better than a trained dog. How does the leash feel dynamike?

Coming from a CHAOS/FIDLGB player, this is pretty hilarious.  Your alliance was a running joke for the entirety of strat due to no leadership and the massive waste of resources on the strat map with little to zero activity by anyone period (except pointless diplomacy.) CHAOS still has used what, 2k tickets total?  Lmao, what a waste

Feels pretty good, since there is no leash. I would have thought you got that by now.

Even though it's most likely a waste of precious internet words:

As much as you would like it, FCC are far from the all-consuming evil overlords subduing innocent subjects you make them to be. When the Remnant leadership quit Strat, we were left with 2-3 semi active people. Can hardly do something worthwhile in Strat with that.

We were looking to get more action and some activity going on the map - FCC were cool people we all liked - they were looking for some players that know how to Strat - we joined. Simple as that. They did not promise us anything, we did not ask for anything, they simply took us in with open arms - and instantly treated us as equals, even though they did not have to.

And look where we are now: It's been a blast riding with the FCC and I am in your fief - you are not.

Just sayin Dyna, you can't come in here acting like you did it by yourself and bragging about being there, if it wasn't for the FCC initiating the attack and actually fighting us. Had you not been a member of the FCC you wouldn't be in our fief right now at all. Twist the words to your advantage however you see fit but that's the bottom line. Your 3 members would have been no match for our 6. MATH.
Title: Re: Summer Lovin
Post by: BaleOhay on June 04, 2013, 03:35:55 pm
here is the truth of that once they were in the FCC they are not riding any coattails. They are the FCC. If you guys wanted to attack remnant when they were its own faction you certainly could have done so.... but you didn't. Anything else is just useless grandstanding.

If it was just the 3 or so remnant vrs bowlers without chaos backing I imagine the fight would not have been as easy as you seem to think
Title: Re: Summer Lovin
Post by: Bronto on June 04, 2013, 03:58:19 pm
We have so much chaos backing. So much. Like when you took our fiefs and they didn't let you because of all that backing. Oh wait. That didn't happen. As far as me grandstanding lol all I'm saying is don't come in here as dynamike has acting like they won the day and our fiefs because they are so pro. Reality check Matey did and as you said "you are the FCC." Also I attacked Remnant twice over S&D points they could've retaliated. The street goes both ways. Your factions are perfect for each other though, always trying to paint yourselves as the victims and heroes of justice. Shitbags unite is more like it.

The reason you still have a castle (and possibly the reason you ever had land in the first place) is chaos. They sent a few thousand troops to fight us and thousands more to reinforce the castle. That being said, you guys choose to work with chaos for a reason so it is fully expected they would help you and you would them. There aren't many clans (if any) who got where they are without some cooperation with other clans... (VE was 3 clans, le chevalier de occitan is two and they work with ss, FCC is comprised of many, chaos and bowlers, ravens worked with a few clans then ended up in fimbl with frisia and dracul. )

Congrats, you won the time of my day:

Just sayin Dyna, you can't come in here acting like you did it by yourself
Did not.

bragging about being there
I am, so I can.

Had you not been a member of the FCC you wouldn't be in our fief right now at all.
Don't know that.

Twist the words to your advantage however you see fit
Am not.

Your 3 members would have been no match for our 6. MATH.
Bigger faction wins. What exactly are you complaining about then?

We have so much chaos backing. So much. Like when you took our fiefs and they didn't let you because of all that backing. Oh wait. That didn't happen.
You should join FCC - they got your back.

all I'm saying is don't come in here as dynamike has acting like they won the day and our fiefs because they are so pro. Reality check Matey did and as you said "you are the FCC."
I think you're catching on now - we did win the day. Our Strat faction did. The FCC did. We are PART of the FCC.

Also I attacked Remnant twice over S&D points they could've retaliated
And both times you failed. No need for retaliation on failed attacks.

Your factions are perfect for each other though
I concur.

always trying to paint yourselves as the victims and heroes of justice. Shitbags unite is more like it.

Hospitaller is in the middle of reforming (at least last I heard, last Thursday).  Peppo's trying to clean up the faction and find out who's serious about contributing in Strategus.  Once that happens, then we'll be reforming back to Hospitallers on the map and hopefully running our own show again.

My point of view:

Chaos "attacked" expecting to get attacked. They haven't been attacked and are sitting there as what I personally see as a major faction.

FIDLGB has attacked many times, especially for a small faction and have only lost villages due to numbers.

FCC has been playing smart with letting FIDLGB run dry then attacking.

Remnant can be described by the following picture:

Boy, what a useful thread.

FIDLGB arguing that someone shouldn't make complaints like a sore winner when they were absorbed by another clan many their size.

FCC arguing that because they absorbed somebody that group is just "FCC", not a smaller group within FCC.

The reason you still have a castle (and possibly the reason you ever had land in the first place) is chaos. They sent a few thousand troops to fight us and thousands more to reinforce the castle.

For the record:

Vitamins attacked an army in the field with like 1500 men or so. Then CHAOS sent us reinforcements of like 1800 men or so.  That's only 3300 in total. Thousands just makes it sound like they've supplied all of our armies that we've recruited by ourselves.

Also, we had land in the first place because we used the voting system. If people didn't attack us because of CHAOS being our allies since the end of the last round of Strategus, then that's their own fault.

That poem took me like 4 minutes to write, I think it deserves more publicity.

When the Remnant leadership quit Strat, we were left with 2-3 semi active people. Can hardly do something worthwhile in Strat with that.

We were looking to get more action and some activity going on the map - FCC were cool people we all liked - they were looking for some players that know how to Strat - we joined. Simple as that. They did not promise us anything, we did not ask for anything, they simply took us in with open arms - and instantly treated us as equals, even though they did not have to.

And look where we are now: It's been a blast riding with the FCC and I am in your fief - you are not.

Then my story unfolds as parts of my gruesome past and corrupted mind come clear slowly over the course of an hour and a half.

The final scene is me with my hair shaved off, naked and bleeding from numerous self-inflicted cuts in my bathroom, staring into the mirror reciting this to myself while flagelating myself with the final line added.

Then it pans over to my friends corpse in the bathtub.

Before the battle of Bulugur two emissaries from Les Chevaliers Occitans arrived in the FCC camps. We did not have time for talks so we asked Occitan_Kap10 and Occitan_Queen_Butterfly to travel along with the warband. Little did we know that as we marched to war they would gear up and fight with us.

As I stood among of dead, covered in blood, I looked to my left and saw the two LCO Diplomats smiling. They had a pile of bodies equal to the best of the BS Heroes. What a good place to start a new era. FCC and LCO have come to the table. Kesh and Arowaine have renewed their love.

As part of the deal FCC, LCO, and SS members are free to merc for or against each other however they wish with no hard feelings

FCC/LCO/SS ceasefire is in place till July 1st with option to renew the peace or resume the hostility.

Hmm, let's analyze this a bit.



After Fraichedan griefed our castle out from under us (with ten cav robes and about 12 weapons), Smoothrich left Ahmerrad  with 100 troops and a shit ton of +3 plate and weapons, flying the banner of a new faction, "The New Semenstorm". We quickly intercepted him and sent him to EU.

From this information, we can safely draw the conclusion that this griefing was planned and acted out by Smoothrich and Badplayer(Fraiche).

There are currently 2 theories floating around about how exactly Semenstorm's defense roster was erased.

The first theory, the one offered by the perpetrators Badplayer and Smoothrich, and their cohorts, is that SS's roster was erased by someone within our own faction that has rank 5 or above. It was suggested by Badplayer and Smooth that they know about/convinced/whatever somebody within semenstorm that is dissatisfied with my and oilcan's leadership and wants Smoothbaby to be the leader of SS. I have not once heard of anyone upset with the way I run things or suggest someone else do it, in fact there has admittedly been very little activity within SS. This, per my analysis, is just propaganda manufactured by Smoothrich to try and send me on a witch hunt or something, destabilizing SS at least enough to grief it.

The second, and most believable, is that either Badplayer once again hacked the roster of the defenders abusing whatever glitch it is that allows him to do this. Badplayer, interestingly enough, already has a history of pulling this exact stunt.
(click to show/hide)
I've also been told about a glitch with the roster page that allows someone to edit the roster after it should have been disabled simply by keeping the page up. So even though I kicked Smoothrich and Badplayer out of the faction immediately after the castle attack was initiated, they would still be able to edit Semenstorm's roster.

Semenstorm's castle was essentially stolen/griefed/glitched/whatever from them. No matter what theory you subscribe to, I believe everyone can conclude that it wasn't taken legitimately. (Fraichedan is currently banned.)

Shortly after we intercepted Smoothrich, Badplayer joined the FCC faction on strategus. I brought this up to Matey, and he responded that this was "news to him", and that he also changed to the FCC color without actually being accepted. If it's true that Badplayer is not truly in FCC, then no truce was broken, it would only appear that way because of Strategus bugs.

If Badplayer IS legitimately in FCC, then it gets interesting. That means, at the very least, FCC supports glitching, greifing and treachery, for their own gain. Which is probably the most hypocritical thing they could do at this point in the game, considering the HUGE stink they made after the Ahmerrad Debacle, the Duped Goods Scandal, and more recently, the  Saxton Incident.

Balls's in your court, FCC.
Title: Re: Summer Lovin
Post by: Matey on June 28, 2013, 05:58:33 am
Well since we all like drama...

I told you that despite my misgivings about the situation I decided to let badplayer in as rank 1 (though he had been under the banner since he applied to the faction even though it was a long time before I decided to let him in) so he could be sheltered under the NAP (hopefully) long enough to find out of it was a bug or treachery. I guess I could have made this point more clearly but I am pretty conflicted about the situation overall and maybe I didn't communicate very well. I really do like Pibb and the SS guys and I don't really want to piss them off but it has also been made very clear to me through talks with various people among the Occitan/SS/Astralis ranks (and some forum messages I've been shown) that you guys are all gearing up for a big attack on us once the NAP is done since we have been so busy putting our armies through the dhirim grinder.

At any rate... pretty much within an hour of this NAP being made all Hospitaller fiefs and the Sparvico fief were all put into the Occitan faction to protect them from us for an entire month; I figured you guys could at least grin and bear it for a few days.

It's an ugly situation but ultimately you broke your word (or Arowaine's word I guess?) and I don't appreciate that. I may be being a bit of a prick in this situation too and Occitan doing it to us might not make it any less sketchy when we do it, but we didn't kick up a fit when they did and we didn't attack hosp or sparvico under the Occitan banner... It would have been nice if you had waited out the NAP.


P.S. I guess this means NAPs with Occitan/SS are only honoured as long as they are convenient to Occitan/SS.

Is this really news to you? Glitching and treachery is fine and funny until it happens to them. Though even Saxton's treachery wasn't near this level, I can't help but feel like this was inevitable with someone like smooth and badplayer (surprised they weren't banned permanently for the first incident) in your faction.

NOTHING against you matey, your faction or ANY deals you got, you should legitimately get rid of SAMARRA castle. BADPLAYER was banned for this(permanently), so that should be enough proof there that it was done Illegally. Also, I'm fairly sure they aren't going to attack you, but I'm not a diplo guy, I just sell more troops for the grinders.

[13:43] <cmp> oh, by the way, that guy was permabanned

Except that as I mentioned, Occitan did it the day we made the NAP and sheltered every Hospitaller/Sparvico fief in the steppes and have had them under their banner to keep them safe with the NAP for the entirety of the treaty. So really, we are doing to you as you did unto us. That doesn't make it a non-shitty thing to do, but since it is just one fief and for less than a week I would say it is less shitty.

The main difference between what Occitan did in the steppe and this Samarra business is that Samarra was lost due to a cheat that the perpetrator got banned for (as Andres has said) whereas Occitan sheltered weaker factions that (in my case anyhow) asked for shelter because of the worsening political climate.

FCC= Shelters cheaters (are we surprised?)
LCO= Shelters weaklings (I am one of them, before ya'll go getting uppity).

I would say that of the two the cheating business is much shittier. Only my opinion though, I am quite sure yours will differ.

I don't believe badplayer cheated. I believe he was gut reaction banned based on bias that results from his past history (which does include cheating). I don't pretend that this is a friendly happy nice move on my part but I had to make a decision on it and based on all the information I have I decided to do it. Also, I did think that Occ/SS would honour the NAP in this situation since we honoured it when it was them sheltering easy targets; one could also argue that Occitan made the peace deal with us entirely for the purpose of buying hosp and sparvico a month to rebuild. Arowaine was very convincing when talking peace with us in that he had no interest in fighting us this strat and that he liked us and that he didn't want to shelter hospitallers but was forced to and that he wanted us to wipe hospitallers out once the peace was up and that we could even extend the NAP after it expired and he would still kick hosp out so we could wipe them out for him... But call me crazy... I don't think he meant any of that. I guess I got a bit off topic there... but at any rate, I am still surprised that you guys wouldn't let us hide someone under our banner for a few days after you hid so many under yours for a month... granted it was Arowaine hiding people under his banner and not SS but since SS lets arowaine handle their diplomacy and the NAP was with Occ/SS combined, it seems fair to group them together.

I guess I got a bit off topic there... but at any rate, I am still surprised that you guys wouldn't let us hide someone under our banner for a few days after you hid so many under yours for a month... granted it was Arowaine hiding people under his banner and not SS but since SS lets arowaine handle their diplomacy and the NAP was with Occ/SS combined, it seems fair to group them together.

Matey's mind rivals the archway of Dhirrim. The ability to completely ignore the point that Smoothrich took a fief FROM SS through treachery while at the same time complaining about LCO putting the weakened Hospitallers (who don't occupy any fief gained through cheating) under their faction-banner is amazing.

The main difference between what Occitan did in the steppe and this Samarra business is that Samarra was lost due to a cheat that the perpetrator got banned for (as Andres has said) whereas Occitan sheltered weaker factions that (in my case anyhow) asked for shelter because of the worsening political climate.

FCC= Shelters cheaters (are we surprised?)
LCO= Shelters weaklings (I am one of them, before ya'll go getting uppity).

I would say that of the two the cheating business is much shittier. Only my opinion though, I am quite sure yours will differ.


Edit: also what havelle said.

Im pretty sure he was banned "because cmp thought he was already banned from before and just rectified it" not because anything he did was actually cheating.  It was "an act of insubordination among the semenstorm ranks over pibbs leadership composing of doing exactly what arrowaine tells him to do."

Correct me if I am wrong - if my information is incorrect, I am getting this from second-hand sources.

The only sure thing is Bad's banned while the battle was iffy and very suspect. That's about ALL we  can make or say.
PERSONALLY: just let this slide out under the rug and end the drama now. NO BS, no shitcuntary, etc. Just honor on strat(Yea ain't much, but I think it's worth it. Matey knows he and I chat a lot  :D)

And, regardless of WHO it was that had this happen, I'd support them. IF it's verifiable that it's treachery, then, by all means, fight for it. But either way, isn't this too much like the Saxton Debacle?

PS: TYDEUS banned Badplayer, NOT CMP. So it wasn't a retroactive ban from the devs.

No one buys your propaganda, it lacks any semblance of sincerity or honesty. Its as if you have some sort of learning disorder that prevents you from empathy and looking at things in ways other than black and white caricatures.

Hah! You couldn't be further from the truth. My posts are sketchy because I can see this from the other side and I do feel conflicted about the whole thing. If I had no empathy my tone and approach would be a lot different. I know you guys can't see this exactly as I do because I haven't said everything I could say about it and I don't plan to. Ultimately I made a hard decision that I would have preferred not to have made but only time will tell if I made the right decision.

I don't believe badplayer cheated. I believe he was gut reaction banned based on bias that results from his past history (which does include cheating). I don't pretend that this is a friendly happy nice move on my part but I had to make a decision on it and based on all the information I have I decided to do it. Also, I did think that Occ/SS would honour the NAP in this situation since we honoured it when it was them sheltering easy targets; one could also argue that Occitan made the peace deal with us entirely for the purpose of buying hosp and sparvico a month to rebuild. Arowaine was very convincing when talking peace with us in that he had no interest in fighting us this strat and that he liked us and that he didn't want to shelter hospitallers but was forced to and that he wanted us to wipe hospitallers out once the peace was up and that we could even extend the NAP after it expired and he would still kick hosp out so we could wipe them out for him...

Except that you are sheltering someone who has been banned for cheating!

Also, holding LCO responsible for what someone that is not even in their faction did is just insane on the face of it. An alliance does not equate to control of the allies members, especially one that has been supplanted from his fief via a cheat.

This is not a matter of diplomacy though. It is a matter of rectifying an error in the status quo due to someone cheating. The only reason it could possibly be misconstrued as a matter of diplomacy is because you sheltered a cheater.

If you acknowledge Kesh, he won't go away.

The evidence is for posterity (aka anyone dumb enough to buy his propaganda) not so much for him. We can go back to ignoring him now, don't worry buddy. We will get through this. I promise. He can't hurt you anymore.

Well, technically Sparvico (and I believe Hosp too) are in the LCO strat faction. Which I believe is what he was referring to. Whereas SS and LCO each have their own strategus factions.

People don't understand sincerity when it's thrown in their face, and everyone is getting mad.

My open and honest opinion about this:

Experience shows that dealing with badplayer is bad business. Stay away from him like you would from the sun if it happens to shine into your basement window. Let's undo all dealings with him and go back to status quo.

I agree with this more than anything else on the topic. I don't know if Badplayer did it, but I have learned not to trust him.

shouldn't the FCC be the last ones to make a big deal out of smaller factions being absorbed by bigger powers?

It's the timing of it that's being argued.

I should probably preface this with my views do not communicate those of SS/Jabonra. Infact I have been out of crpg/strat for a month, so I am somewhat out of the loop. And for those interested, I hope to be making my return to mountain blade within the next week or two.

And by your logic LCO could attack HG or Remnant because they are not properly FCC.

The way I look at it is intentions. I think its pretty clear that Remnant is part of FCC as far as strat goes. Absorbing a faction so they get protectio under a NAP is a bit different in my book.

As far as the current situation, it's pretty shitty. I think its pretty blatant that it was a roster drop, consider badplayer even went as far as to send a message to everyone in semenstorm about what we lost. But regardless it certainly wasn't a legitimate seige, and am somewhat suprised that matey/bale are putting up resistance. Maybe its their form of recapturing what they lost at Ahmerrad, or lco/hosp thing, or they just want the castle. It's sketchy to keep it, but its also a video game about capturing land.

The treaty we made was with LCO and SS together. Arowaine spoke for SS with their permission; he made clear that any deal with LCO included SS. If SS broke the deal, does that not mean LCO did as well? as for us "intending to break our treaty" it's pretty hard to break a broken treaty, that being said we are already busy enough; of course LCO and SS were planning to jump us July 1 anyways but I guess they couldn't wait that long.

So SS reacquiring a fief (on the opposite side of the map from any actual FCC holdings) they lost because of a cheater who just happens to be in your faction constitutes a violation of the treaty?

Occitan sheltered a faction we were still at war with that had recently taken fiefs from us and our reaction was "well played"; then we changed our plans and left the hospitallers alone.

As for putting badplayer up to it... I hardly know the guy, but I'm pretty sure there isn't a person in this game who could put badplayer up to anything; he does what he does. Shik can probably give more insight to how badplayer does things than I can.

As for an excuse to break the treaty early (on our side) we have been using our troops all month and would be happy to take it easy for awhile... I honestly wouldn't mind if the NAP was extended; big offensive campaigns are fucking tiring.

"Lords and ladies of the low court, you have all convened for a simple explanation. As an outsider with knowledge of the unseen, let me proffer you this more digestible summary of the events which brought you here.

The Lord of New Samarra Castle has been usurped via nefarious means. Whether through witchcraft or treachery, we are not certain.

The faction Free Companies of Calradia have taken in the usurper lord of New Samarra Castle at his request, and have been given access to his wartime logistics for the defense of the castle. The lord himself has been banished from the land.

The castle's rightful owners wish to have it under their flag once more, but in taking it back, the Free Companies have put those lords into a position where they would break a pact of ceasefire were they to try and retake what was theirs.

LAY DOWN YOUR THOUGHTS! Let the court know what you think of the matter and let us conclude with it before the first of July."



TL;DR version of circumstances, SEMENstorm lost Samarra Castle through, in the best case scenario, a traitor inside the faction. The player who took the castle applied to FCC, and they accepted him, giving them access to the roster and enabling them to personally defend the castle. FCC is behaving as though the act of putting the castle back into its original faction is a breach of their non-aggression pact with Les Chevaliers Occitan and SEMENstorm, despite having an interest only due to the act of the traitor applying to their faction - and accepting that player into their faction. FCC having been vocally distressed at the possibility of their NAP being broken by the other members come the end date on the 1st of July. Almost as though they want their partners in the pact to break it before its duration has expired.

And that's not even the worst possibility of the events that occurred.

shouldn't the FCC be the last ones to make a big deal out of smaller factions being absorbed by bigger powers?
It's the timing of it that's being argued.

Such as the timing of Remnant attacking Hospitaller after the Velucan Empire declared war on them and winding up in FCC as a result of being outgunned. Such as the timing of the NA Coalition members entering FCC, while in a boring war with Chaos and others who were threatening their last holding, ending the war. Hospitaller joining Occitan is a fair comparison.

However, a more apt hypothetical comparison to what just happened would be the following: Suppose Saxton had, instead of defecting and selling his FCC-owned fief to LL, sold it to LCO or SEMENstorm while they were under the same conditions of this NAP. Or even merely left FCC and applied to LCO or SEMENstorm and got accepted. What would FCC have done, let them hold the fief and protect their defector? Does the fact that someone clicked 'accept' mean nothing in the case of a traitor?


It is not a matter of whether the intention was there from the beginning, one may never know, or even the reaction SEMENstorm has. What matters is that the Free Companies of Calradia are profiting off the misery of others and attempting to force their enemies-turned-pact-mates into a war against them by means they outspokenly decried before (i.e. Saxton). Sheltering a rebel, a defector, a traitor, gaining a fief from a fellow member of your non-aggression pact through malicious means is somehow not an aggressive act?

If it Matters I agree with Dynamike its just bad business. No one spoke to me before the castle became ours. I would have voted against taking the castle.

One point to clear up however. Matey was not lying about what Arowaine said concerning the treaty and hosp... however we basically knew it was all fluff.

I can see both sides of this one. Since we just went thru it with LL buying Saxtons fief. No one said anything to LL however about how bad it was and were happy to get the exp from the fight that was born from it... They focused on Saxton. Sort of funny how that same thing is not passed to the FCC. We had nothing to do with the event in question, but we can maybe have an exp filled night out of it.

There is a major difference, LL payed cRPG shit for the fief, meaning that they would've lost their looms instead of just not recieved a present here, they also weren't aware that FCC didn't agree with deal.

New Samarra Castle

Lord Joe stood behind his Champion Courser on the stairs leading into the dungeons. "My love," he said, "It's two fucking steps."

"B-but I have four legs. I'm not sure how this is supposed to work." She put a leg forward, then hastily brought it back.

She was a good horse, but vertical movement could be a problem.

Joe squeezed past her sweat-coated flank . "Just let me know when you're ready, alright?"

He walked into a long, stone hallway. It was dark and cold, despite the flickering torches. Waiting for him was the leadership of the Free Companies. Great lords, all of them, in glittering mail and finely woven heraldry.

Bale muttered something about "nutcase" and "horse". Kesh, her hair lighting up the dungeon with it's glory, seemed worried.

Also present, much to Joe's surprise, was Lord Tydeus. Tydeus hadn't been present during their seizure of the castle, and shortly thereafter the armies of SEMEN STORM had surrounded the place, yet somehow the warrior had gotten in. Joe smiled at the dour group before him. "What'cha need?"

Gristle stepped forward, he seemed less angry than he was sad. He fiddled his little plate-shaped hat. "Joe, we need you to, uh, interrogate a political prisoner. BADPLAYER. He has resisted us, but perhaps you can do something to get him to talk." He glanced over Joe's shoulder. "You and your, erm, maiden."

Kesh cleared her throat, and a man's voice came out. "He glitched the fucking castle, and we need to know how... So we can do the same. This wizardry could help us defeat Hospitaller and their vassals: Occitan and SEMEN STORM, once and for all"

Joe nodded. "I'm gay."

"I knew we could count on you."
---------------------------

Joe and Champion Courser strode into the interrogation room. BADPLAYER hung from the wall by chains, his sweating, shivering, form shocking to behold. His neckbeard hung to the floor, devoid of its usual luster.
"BADPLAYER--sorry for shouting that--you've been a naughty boy."

"Joe? Is that a horse? Oh God, what the fuck are you going to do to me now?"

"We," Joe said, "Are going to talk."

"I've got nothing to say to you. I thought you were going to protect me." He sounded breathless. The Terrortops must have had his way with him.

Joe looked to his horse, smiling. "Honey, I think it's time for the Halibut." He strode to a chest in the corner and retrieved a large fish.

"Are you talking to your horse? Jesus Christ."

Joe put on his fish-beating face and leapt across the room. He fell upon BADPLAYER, smiting him with savage blows.
-------------------------------

In a room next door, the leaders of FCC sat in a circle. They could hear the sound of wet fish-slaps through the wall.

Gristle was pacing. "He's going to kill him. We can't do this. Not when BADPLAYER came to us in friendship."

Tydeus spoke, "We need to know. I can't just ban him on a hunch."

WITCHCRAFT said, "I could try some potions. They don't work, but BADPLAYER--sorry for yelling--doesn't know that.

Kesh frowned. "They work sometimes. Remember that siege and the necromancy?" She looked suddenly worried. "Wait. What if--?"

"OH GOD YOU'RE A WIZARD!"

Joe's cry filled the dungeon, along the neighing of his triple-loomed Courser.

The leaders of FCC and Tydeus leapt to their feet, drawing swords and rushing into the hall. Gristle fumbled with the keys to the interrogation room. The sound of scuffling feet and grunting could be heard on the other side. The door clicked, and the brave lords rushed in.

What the saw was terrible.

Joe and his horse were locked in a deadly struggle with BADPLAYER'S neckbeard. It had grown to twice its normal length, and had a life of its own. Joe wrestled desperately for control of his Halibut.

The lords of FCC and Tydeus fell upon the dread neckbeard with fierce battle-cries, hacking and grappling. BADPLAYER was laughing, cackling, his beard growing more and more.

Suddenly, the fell neckbeard was on fire, a torch caught in its Mountain Dewy tangles. Somebody yelled "GOTTEM COACH!"

It was over. BADPLAYER was consumed by the flames, his last utterance an angry shriek.

Tydeus, panting, sheathed his sword. He looked at the confused faces around him. "I'll, uh, talk chadz about that. Let's... Let's just say I banned him, for now." This was met with muttered agreements.

Bale shook his great, horned head. "Why did we fucking do this in the first place?"

We would have honoured our NAP. I know NAPs have historically meant nothing to you Canary, but we take our agreements seriously. This may be a sketchy thing to do, but its really not as bad as LCO taking in the entire hosp faction along with Sparvico in order to grant them the protection of the NAP that they had JUST made with us after hosp had taken back a couple of villages. Anyways; we will run badplayer's roster for him this battle since he cannot do it himself but win or lose, he is on his own after. I had to make a decision at 3am just before going to bed with no one else online to consult so I went for it but enough people are against it and LCO/SS spit on NAPs and badplayer is ban for unrelated reasons as far as I can tell (cpm locked the thread where BP asked for a reason), so there isn't much point in keeping it going longer.

It was already said, but maybe did not come across clearly: one of us was forced to make a decision at an inopportune time and made it. If it was a good one or not, let's put that aside. Either way, we stay behind him and the decision, since this is a consequence of having many leaders in a faction: more people are empowered to make decisions and with that, sometimes mistakes are made.

Nobody is a bad person because of that and it does not warrant a lot of hate and generalization that is coming towards the FCC for that. Let's just get some XP out of it and move on.

If you are up to it, let's get back to the diplomatic table and I am sure we can talk about ways to "soften the blow" that SemenStorm has received because of this mess. I for one would be down - as I mentioned - to go back to status quo and figure out how we compensate for some of the losses taken.

If you published a book chronicling strategus, I would be willing to spend at least 200 dollars on it. Seriously, good fucking work on bringing sheer joy to the shitstorm that is diplomacy. Even better than Havelle's table erotica.

We would have honoured our NAP. I know NAPs have historically meant nothing to you Canary, but we take our agreements seriously.

Big surprise King Grudge brings up our old history. Look in the mirror, respect your own agreements. You harbor their rebels and keep hold of a castle in order to sign people up against them when they retake it. Why? There is no real reason for this, as far as I can tell, besides an excuse to pretend they broke their NAP early for propaganda purposes. Either that or a tit for tat "fuck you" for the Hospitaller thing, which sounds like it's about as bad on paper, but in that situation was any fief taken by another faction maliciously after the NAP was instituted?

This may be a sketchy thing to do, but its really not as bad as LCO taking in the entire hosp faction along with Sparvico in order to grant them the protection of the NAP that they had JUST made with us after hosp had taken back a couple of villages.

Arguably, it's worse. Not only was it either subterfuge or an exploit, but SEMENstorm made it perfectly clear how they felt about this castle. An open war ending abruptly because one side found a way to piggyback onto a non-aggression pact (guess there should've been more fine print?) compared to a castle being stolen and put into another faction in the NAP who is apparently unwilling to give up the fief and drop the player responsible from their roster. Only one of these circumstances resulted in a hostile, NAP-breaking action undertaken after the pact was in place.

Anyways; we will run badplayer's roster for him this battle since he cannot do it himself but win or lose, he is on his own after.

In other words, not taking the NAP seriously and defending against a faction you're supposed to be in a ceasefire with for no apparent reason. After you do that, then you'll play ball, no problem!

I had to make a decision at 3am just before going to bed with no one else online to consult so I went for it but enough people are against it and LCO/SS spit on NAPs and badplayer is ban for unrelated reasons as far as I can tell (cpm locked the thread where BP asked for a reason), so there isn't much point in keeping it going longer.

Guess you can let the mistake go once you already got the fallout you wanted.

I don't hold grudges, I like you well enough these days and I like most of CHAOS... trusting you on the other hand is a completely different story. I can like someone without trusting them.

Anyways, arguing with you lot on the forums is a waste of time. The same people who already hate me and the FCC will just shit talk me and FCC about anything we ever do while defending themselves and others with the same goals. Meanwhile; it is mostly the same on our side though with a bit more open criticism.

No offense taken. I was just curious. I get some of the criticism FCC as a collective group gets. I work to try and correct some of it and keep everything on an even playing field. Sometimes with more success than other times. Was just wondering what we did to you? Since you seem to be on the other side often.

NAP.ast.traitor#070591-g.forum.response: I meant that I have no sway over what happens in regards to this situation. But I was not urging conflict, either (except on the forums). If anything I was antagonizing you guys for creating a conflict where there didn't need to be one - we're already at war, so anything coming from me will probably be made to sound aggressive.

Quote from: badplayer
hello everyone if you think i bugged the roster you are idiots because i'll tell you how to bug rosters:


first of all you have to be on defense and either yourself being attacked or ur fief, hire whoever on your side and then what you do is you leave your faction and join the enemies faction. you dont need to be accepted to it, just apply to it and it works. what happens is because you are in that faction, any battles in your page show up as if youre on the side of that faction. normally this doesnt matter at all however because youre being attacked by that faction, that battle shows up and you can hire/unhire for their side, leading to you being able to unhire their roster last second and ect.
you CANNOT do this if you are the one attacking, its literally impossible because when you are in the same faction and theres a battle between people of that faction, u can only hire for attackers not defenders. i used to troll with this by attacking LLJK members who refused to give me their things since it meant u couldnt hire for defense either so attackers always won (this seems to be fixed now though since u cant initiate attacks on people in the same faction, and joining a faction after attacking doesnt make that happen for some reason)


to clarify what actually happened: i got a friend to unhire the roster afaik not against the rules but obviously ban me because you know, people have a Grudge against me as evidenced from this thread.


maybe u apes should learn what the bug actually is before claiming i did it.
i would like apologies from everybody who questioned my integrity in this thread thank you.


also, a note from me, badplayer at first planned to bug the roster so he attacked, but forgot it didn't work as attacker, so he got a friend to unhire instead. the taking of the castle was within the rules as far as i can tell

If we don't accept sky laddering during battles why would this not "be against the rules"? How is having your whole roster dropped by a dickhead not a worse way to fuck over this game then putting a widdle ladder on twop of another one? And from the sounds of it another person needs to get banned.

"in first strategus you could hire/unhire for rosters if you had any rank in a faction, even just rank 1, and it happened to templars a bunch iirc and Nothing Happened except they got owned 4 it. then you could understand it but nowdays you have to be what is it, rank 5? to change rosters. if your clan is incompetent enough to let someone untrustworthy be that rank they deserve everything they get, don't be such a baby, stuff like that makes the game actually fun and "intrigue/player" based rather than a boring farming game. i know some ppl on these forums prefer to look at spreadsheets than talk to their faction members though so having displeased high ranking members want to fuck you over is probably a large concern for u guys

Well the talks have begun.

Duster and I had a conversation.

Waiting on LCO word to hear their thoughts and see if they agree.


Here is the facts as I see them.

We have a nap with LCO/SS that runs out on Monday (july 1st) If we are just going to be at war come Monday, giving back the castle does not make any sense. Keeping it allows us to bleed off some troops for the low low price of badplayers internet honor and the devious actions of the hidden dagger in the SS roster.

Duster and I agreed that extending the Nap for 2 weeks would not be a problem since as he puts it.. they do not want to fight us anyway. The catch in this instance is LCO. If they attack us SS would be bound to help them regardless of any deals with us as allies.

So we can work this out to the good of everyone and all it takes is LCO and SS to get in together and get back in touch with me before the fight kicks off.

Hope it works out. If not well at least I tried. And look I have a new steam friend out of it. Unless the war makes Duster un-friend me. hmm

ummmm...why don't you(FCC) just give them (SS) the castle back? Wouldn't that be the logical thing to do? I mean any way you slice it they had their entire roster unhired before the fight and therefore all you had to do was have one person spawn and game over for them. If you attack it after you give it back, then it's a fair fight but seriously this entire situation wreaks of douchebaggery.

Yay, I'm done being muted.

Is this really news to you? Glitching and treachery is fine and funny until it happens to them. Though even Saxton's treachery wasn't near this level, I can't help but feel like this was inevitable with someone like smooth and badplayer (surprised they weren't banned permanently for the first incident) in your faction.

I have to say that I respect this boldness and fully expect it to happen to other clans who are only concerned with amassing as many people as they can, regardless of trust issues. It's all about standards, and when you're FCC and have none, then this kind of issue is bound to happen. May this serve as a lesson to all of us.

It is the same level, stop being an anti-fcc nerd when it comes to rules.

__________________________

Right, but you guys don't have a claim to the castle. You accepted a known griefer to your faction, who later gets permabanned, and then say they broke the treaty.

You are literally not looking at this like an actual person.


I'll admit this was a shitty thing to happen to you, and I'd be pissed it it happened to my faction, but,

I'd like to see more things like this happen more often in this game of strategus. More drama & intrigue.

LL didn't hand over the fief, gear, and troops so why should the FCC? Doesn't this create more drama and intrigue, or do you only mean when the FCC is the victim?

________________________

Next week strat could end and it would be like none of this stuff existed. It is a web-browser game that has been restarted three times in two years. It is not based on skill at all, it is about farming better gear, more troops, and being strength builds. There is very little strategy in battle and almost no organized squads or formations. It is just blobs attacking other blobs while people throw ladders on top of things so ranged can shoot into the blobs, every once in a while you'll get morningbumpstar'd by a heavy cav.

As TuTu just stated.

Did we get our gear, troops, and fief back when it happened to us? nope. We were told to shut up and enjoy the exp. At least we are attempting to come to a resolution. Duster seems like a good dude and he and I got along well enough. He understood my position and I his. If there is no intention to go to war with us come the 1st we can work it out and all go on our merry way.

The only issue is getting LCO to go along. Might not happen and if not no hard feelings about it.

Anyone else in LCO able to do agreements for them? If not sadly this opportunity to fix things might just pass us.

It is different because Saxton was in the faction to begin with.

It is also different because FCC did not pay anything to gain the castle.

There is also the NAP to consider now, where with LL there was already a war going on.

The problem is that FCC was trying to pass off SEMENstorm getting their castle back as a breach of the NAP, while disregarding the problem with accepting the traitor into their faction in the first place, or that keeping the castle would itself be an affront to the NAP.

And yes this is the same thing, Penguin. Badplayer had a high-ranking friend un-hire the roster so Badplayer could steal it, then he gave it to their soon to be enemies. FCC never violated their treaty, they just benefited from internal SS drama unknowingly and are ransoming it because they know Arowaine is going to war with them and he is dragging SS along for the ride.

They took control of the castle after SS was very vocally distressed about what had happened. If FCC somehow thought taking badplayer into the faction wouldn't make them upset, they were being naive. Unknowingly? P'shaw.

However, there was not a NAP between FCC and LL in that situation, so it isn't a perfect comparison. Having to fight someone you're already at war with to get your stuff back is one thing, having to do it against a NAP partner is another.

Yeah, Hospitallers attacked 2 of our villages and took them and then as soon as the NAP was signed they were incorporated into the Occitan faction even as we had armies walking toward each fief to take them back - we didn't violate the NAP by attacking and accepted losing fiefs until the end of the NAP -that was over 20 days ago, wish you guys had the patience to wait 3 days and not break your word.

It really isnt worse than that what LCO did with hosp. they took in a group we are openly at war with who had just taken fiefs from us... and they did it for multiple fiefs and for a full month. I think one castle for 5 days isn't so bad.


Props on digging this up.

I do very much dig this drama and intrigue, I wouldn't have posted here if there wasn't some pleasure in this thread. This sort of drama is the only thing that brings me to the forums.

I'm not sure if this is the sort of comparison you want to draw, though. Saxton was punished for it, he was ostracized from the strategus community and is attacked on site by many factions. Perhaps the same should be done to Bale, Matey, and Kesh.

You mean... shouldn't the same be done to Badplayer... and it has. LL didn't get shit on for taking a deal from a treacherous little saxton.

Yes it is. You already had a NAP with them when SEMENstorm lost a fief to you. The NAP was not there when Hospitaller actually took over control of your fiefs. Certainly a dirty use of a NAP in their case, but in yours you literally took a fief that belonged to someone you already had a ceasefire with.

Firstly. Occitan made a NAP with the intent of hiding our enemies from us. That is worse than what we did.
Secondly badplayer took a fief from SS, not FCC.
Thirdly No I did not talk to badplayer before he got the fief. As I said... After he took the fief he applied to FCC and then came and talked to me at 3am.

Not sure why canary has his feathers ruffled. He has some new allies it is already done.

I love getting bad press after I did everything I could to stop this and fix things. Duster and I hammered out a pretty good agreement and both sides were happy. But unfortunately Arowaine weighed in against and the agreement was killed.

Also we did not get a fief from SS. Matey got one from badplayer after he took ownership. So no we did not break the pact. It would hold up in court... I cleared that statement with the FCC lawyers.

fyi FCC the reason badplayer attacked the castle in the first place is because for like 3+ weeks SS has been planning to attack you the instant you start the war with chaos

SS and occitan are effectively the same clan so yeah, baleohay - arrowaine and that other occitan guy have been playing you for a while now

edit: also SS was fucked over from within (see: the Invisible Hand of Smoothrich), not because bugs or anything so there's no real reason for SS to be mad at anyone but their own clan members

I haven't been following this thread, but after I took Samarra back, I came and caught up. I'd like to throw in a couple points.

First, I'm pretty sure that when I launched my 3300 man attack towards samarra, the owner was in a faction called freichedan friggers or some other silly shit. I was literally on the doorstep when I noticed the faction name had changed to FCC. I don't know how it is where you're from, but where I come from, if both sides have released the hounds, you don't step in the ring unless you WANT to get bit.

Second, hookers and cocaine.

But it seems like the time for drama and talking is over. I've always preferred action anyhow.

To be fair, none of us can see shit in regards of what is happening around that castle even if it is in our faction. Also, it was in FCC for at least 16 hours before you attacked it.

I know bear. We have little birds that keep us up on the latest gossip. So we knew they were already gearing up to jump at us. We have our own plans so it is not really a big deal. Just happened a couple of days early. This was all proven out after Duster and I came to agreement just to have Arowaine lean in kill it with his disapproval.

I am inclined to believe that badplayer did not glitch the castle but instead he and smooth still have lots of pull at least with a few people in the SS clan.

So it will be war with more people. Ehh lets see how they pull off coordination of a long distance war. We can tell you from experience it is a lot harder than it seems.

Personally, i am kind of excited to see occitan grow up from girls into women and take their first castle or city by sieging rather than buying or peace agreements - we can pop their cherry  :wink:  :shock:  :twisted:  Will be fun.

This is possibly true. I loitered on the doorstep for about 20 hours before I attacked it, to ensure it was attacked at a time appropriate for everyone to come fight the battle. Either way, the die was cast when you "took him under your wing". Whether the attack had officially started or not yet, having a huge army loitering outside your gate is basically the definition of being under siege.

I still have a few doubts as to when it was made FCC. I am the one who made the attack move, and when I did that, I'm pretty sure it still said whatever faction name badplayer made up. It wasn't till later, after the attack was made, that I noticed it switched to FCC. Either way doesn't really matter. The attack was initiated far prior to FCC adopting him.

Unless you accepted him into the faction while the attack was pending, thereby changing the ownership of the fief. But I digress, I don't know how that would work because I don't spend my time experimenting with shady exploits to see how I can screw over my fellow players.

Not only badplayer. I can say as well. And if both I and badplayer are in a contest to see who is the authority on honesty and integrity in the crpg community, I don't think it'd be presumptuous of me to say: I win.

Your attitude towards this is pretty disturbing. You knew what happened to the roster for the castle, you knew what happened was wrong, and you knew that by taking badplayer into FCC you would be taking a castle from SEMENstorm. You know what happens when you willfully buy a stolen TV, a stolen gun, or stolen car parts and get caught, right? You lose, Matey. You break the law, you break our NAP.

FCC then, instead of doing the right thing and returning the castle upon gaining control of it, attempted to use the castle as leverage against me. You all wanted to extend the NAP that you had already broken for another two weeks so that you'd have plenty of time to finish off Chaos and refocus to what you believed was coming.

You can draw parallels to similar situations, you can play down what happened, you can displace blame. But the bottom line is that FCC resorted to dirty tactics because it suited them. It's true that I spoke to Arowaine about the deal that Bale and I hammered out, and it's also true that the "deal" fell through after that. But you know what, I'm a bit of a softie. I really try to look for the best in people, often to my own disadvantage. It just took a bit of prodding from my buddy Arowaine for me to open my eyes to what was really going on.

FCC, I tried. I really tried. I tried to keep an open mind, to look at both sides. But you all decided to hand me shit on a platter with smiles on your faces.

It's on.

Since we're talking about Chaos vs FCC now... it's been a whole week of Dhirrim sieges. FCC has thrown away 7 1500 man armies away in an attempt to burn through the tickets of Chaos. Due to their "tactics" each battle has been getting pushed further and further back in the hopes that a gear bugged roster might not hold the castle. This has not been the case, and now we face a battle Tonight at 1:38 EST! FCC will be judged tonight; will they relent for 1 day and allow the battles to be fought during primetime? Or will they allow their mad king to show all of NA who holds the title of "Sperglord"?  I hope our friends in EU are watching, and choose the right side to fight on should it come to a nighttime defense.

On another note, wouldn't properly equipping your armies in plate and +3 weapons be better than wasting tickets with mid-high tier gear and +1 weapons? Though being a faction with so many troop farmers, I can see your approach to choosing gear over troops.

Dhirim is cool, I like the design, but all it would really need to be much more... doable, would be the removal of most of those goddamned invisible walls.  I think the defenders can ladder up to some of them from their side, but the attackers can't really ladder up to any of them.

Also, some more open fighting space would be neat.

Yeah, nobody is debating that the map is pretty goddamn retarded. It isn't good map design to be forced through a single doorway against a team of up to 51 people.

Still, the map isn't glitched or anything, it's just stupid. So we'll defend it the best we can until you guys stop attacking it. If it were me, I'd have stopped attacking it a few waves ago. It seems obvious that the city is not able to be conquered at this time, and it obviously blows at least 25 cocks to attack, so I'd spare myself the trouble and save the tickets for something else.

While Dhirim is certainly harder than others, I think they should be harder to take in general. Cities can relatively be considered "Fortresses" or "Capitals". I think these should be some of the hardest to take. There should be a significant defender advantage. Though Dhirim is a little ridiculous, not in it being difficult to capture, but in there being only one way into the final room, and the entrance being so small. Its fine with there being one entrance, but at least make it bigger

There was certainly tons of rage in this last battle...some of my favorite quotes

Both you and sandersson whined and begged us not to attack again in follow up wave at 3 am (we never intended to, we have been really good about doing primetime atatcks - the 1:40 am was fine because it was a saturday night.  Saying it would hurt the community - I dont see either of you saying anything when chaos attacks illuminati after the siege at 3:30 am - I guess FCC can be the only bad guys and everyone fighting them are angels.


Also, simplest way to fix this map - make the doorway with unbreakable door and no flags inside it.  Very similar to curaw - defenders would actually defend the front walls because its too risky to just fall back to the archways.  The final flags are behind the second archway.  Would make it on par with most of the cities out there - castles are the difficult ones while cities generate more gold usually but are less defensible - which makes sense.  That whole inner keep nonsense doesn't make sense without makig it like an actual keep used in other city maps with some breakable walls instead of just a room leading to other rooms with no other way in and no way to destroy the keep.

I don't even have kesh on steam nor do I talk to him. It seems like FCC needs a new commander. After 8 failed attempts, the strategy remains the same. It's time to bring in some creative minds. If I were attacking this castle I'd try to the end and not give up hope before the battle even began.

Haven't you laid siege to two castles now?  As well as one fief?

No need to be so defensive, I meant no offense, it was a simply inquiry involving your own track record after you criticized FCC on theirs.

For what it's really worth, I've taken Nova Tismirr, reclaimed New Zagush and taken New Dashbigha (two or three times actually).  I was technically given New Ulburban by Anders, but it was purchased by FCC.

Open my mind and my heart to what?  Blatant lies and petty denunciations?  I think not.

I'm still a firm believer that everyone's got their own strategy/mindset about castle sieges. Just because you have x amount of battles under your belt doesn't make you more or less qualified to give your opinion on something. I was not attacking you in any way. I was just wondering why you don't seem to adhere to your own logic since you seem always eager to offer your insight on strat matters when you haven't really been relevant in strat affairs for many months.

And on that note, Ulburban was initially my first choice for my sneak attack on the free traders, but ultimately ended up choosing Tismirr for...other reasons. Perhaps you would heed my advice had you seen the mighty disciples in action. There is always time for that though.

According to the archives your only wins are from:

and the one time taking of Dashigba, which I was there for. (maybe you speak of strat 2 as well?)

Tismirr and Dashbigha twice, according to my battle list.

Understandable, I wasn't attacking you either, merely questioning your own logic.  (since you seem to be ready to talk about it, but I've never truly seen it.)

I was just wondering why you don't seem to adhere to your own logic since you seem always eager to offer your insight on strat matters when you haven't really been relevant in strat affairs for many months. 

I could ask you the very same question.

And on that note, Ulburban was initially my first choice for my sneak attack on the free traders, but ultimately ended up choosing Tismirr for...other reasons. Perhaps you would heed my advice had you seen the mighty disciples in action. There is always time for that though.

Ah yes, you're not the only one who has planned to attack my wonderful village.  I still eagerly await any form of advance, and I assume you're the closest to actually launching any form of attack and for that I nod in acknowledgement.  Tismirr is quite a nice village to attack,  I'm unsure of Ulburban though.

I'd love to sit down and have a conversation with you sometime, JC, it seems to me that we see eye to eye on many subjects.  Unfortunately, it appears we've taken off on the wrong foot.

Edit:

Our active player base has been low lately, but we've been working on it and now that we've got some people on board who knows what sort of magical adventure could come our way?

I'm 1-2. While FCC is maybe 3-20 in their war with chaos. What's Draculs fief taking resume by the way? Constructive criticism shouldn't be met with such disdain, thats FCC/Vassals problem in the first place. Open your minds and your hearts to my words.

Dracul armies helped take/retake New Dashbigha, New Kedelke, and New Zagush (twice I believe), they also helped command several battles for us in this time period. So before you decide to mouth off, try doing some research.

As far as being relevant: They are much more so than you, Jesus.

Edit: I am also stating this very clearly for you, Jesus. If you threaten our allies with war, you wont just be fighting them. What you do has repercussions for yourself and your 'friends'.

I dont see either of you saying anything when chaos attacks illuminati after the siege at 3:30 am - I guess FCC can be the only bad guys and everyone fighting them are angels.

What? Did that ever actually happen? Or are you getting your pawns confused again?

This is the time we attacked Illuminati (http://c-rpg.net/index.php?page=strategusbattlesarchive#!?page=strategusinfobattledetail&id=4142), at 7:57pm Central and between two sieges.

We just attacked dynamike (http://c-rpg.net/index.php?page=strategusbattlesupcoming#!?page=strategusinfobattledetail&id=4227) after the siege last night, but it hit his nighttime for a morning battle - against a total of however many tickets he can recruit personally in the time before the battle.

It seemed like the thing to do, grab some more of the leftover gear from the attack, teleport one of your active players to EU. It seemed like the kind of tactic you'd use, except in this case it's a lot less important for both sides than the attack you guys initiated before which was even later than this. You are the bad guys here because we're only fighting fire with fire, using a precedent you set up, and what we've done is a lot less major.

Well, there was a battle initiated at 3am, only we didn't do it. Get those EU mercs ready for a 10am fight.

It was also not a siege, nor is it a large fight. You guys started it (http://c-rpg.net/index.php?page=strategusbattlesarchive#!?page=strategusinfobattledetail&id=4095).

I am going to have to agree that map needs to be changed and before this iteration is dead. Arty I hope you can make it better and it gets accepted. Taking away the whole inner keep (that door and anything beyond) would work if you find a way to open it up more outside.

JC you say use a different strategy.. If you can think of something let us know. 1 single path of advancement thru ever increasingly difficult choke points. Multiple invisible walls and a door wide enough for 1 person.

Pretty sure even with as much as people hate us they can not really comment on our strategy. We have taken by force the most cities and castles in this round. Done some amazing things taken some with 1 attack and some hilarious things stealing huge troop stacks.

Just prior to this city we took 4 fiefs and 3 castles that were well defended by chaos and bowlers. When we have some options with strategy we come up with great plans.

Yeah no worries - having to attack a poorly designed map 8 times and then having someone tell me how we should fight it or attack after they themselves dumped 3K troops into it is not usually a  way to get on my good side.  We are pretty good on attacks with the vast majority of our major attacks being during primetime this strategus, it just came across as a bit condescending coming from you.  We know what we are doing, this is the first castle or city that we have attacked and haven't eventually taken.  We had considered attacking at noon and hoping to get more people on defending roster who hadn't fought on this map 6 times defending already, wouldn't be as quick to listen to orders to bitch mode run back to the broken keep rather than fight and get more high pingers tking in that shield wall, but didn't feel that was the right way to win it even though most of our guys were tired of fighting that map merc_mustikki designed (main reason we actually stopped) and wouldn't have minded more eu mercs replacing them.

We could also have attacked 700 man armies and gotten similar kills (kept doing better than 1 to 1 before chokepoints as attackers and even did a 1 for 1 last battle at the first 2 chokepoints) - but there are 28 guys with the chaos tag in Dhirim on strat map turtling up similar to what grey order did with uxhal on eu side where they can recruit almost as many troops as they lose each day (chaos actually pretty similar to eu in that way - very good at turtling).  Sadly since we cant take this fief no one probably will and we will have a completely wasted fief on an inactive faction rather than an active one.  Really want to keep strategus fun by getting more fiefs for active factions and just getting rid of inactives who just take up space - makes for far more battles and wars.  Its a lot more fun game when people actually add to the strategus map - part of the problem in EU - too many factions turtling up and going inactive - though to be fair Chaos has actually initiated more attacks than the biggest faction on NA side based on the recent charts page. (No wonder they have 74k troops in garrisons alone, 80K or so a few days ago)

Simplest solution - remove flags in inner keep - would make it on par with every city on the map and defenders would actually have to defend their outer walls and more strenuously defend the archways instead of just running back to the keep as soon as possible.


Also according to you faction page didn't jesus join your crpg faction?  Also, word on the street is you have been one of the contributors to his armies.

He's been chilling in TS with us lately, he seems like an okay guy that is meshing well with us.

Back when he was in FCC he was a cool guy on TS and such when he showed up for our battles, but he kept running around attacking caravans and such so we kept him out of the FCC on strat and i guess more of us signed against him than for him whenever he attacked a caravan. He seems like a fun guy and a good troll but we couldn't really have him hitting all them traders who are so important to us and strat.

Can't win? Call the game broken and demand it gets changed.

Canary, just give up your fief, its been decided that you don't deserve to play strategus.

Enemy doing well? Say they don't deserve to play.



But seriously, Kesh, stop being so condescending yourself and stop being such a poor sport about this. I agree that the map is overpowered, though perhaps not to the same extent you do, and I agree that Jesus taunting you by calling your tactics bad is obnoxious and dumb, but you're getting bent out of shape and insulting the wrong people in the most outlandish and inappropriate ways.

Horrible turtling Chaos equally as bad as EU turtles with 21k tickets in their fiefs auto-recruiting going inactive never fighting and not playing the map correctly... go to hell with that. We've got many of our members inside Dhirim because it's our last stronghold (the weird Tadsamesh/Desire situation notwithstanding), where the heck else are they gonna go? You guys own pretty much the entire northern half of the map. We spread our resources out, at the beginning, relatively evenly among our fiefs and players. We didn't start favoring any one fief heavily for defense until we found out which ones we could reasonably hold for a longer duration, mostly because we didn't lose them right away and they were what we had left to work with.

I hope you also haven't forgotten the times we did attack your fiefs, something which has happened far too sparingly, I think we'd both agree. Or the times more recently when we took armies we could have used turtling harder and turned them into the field against you. Is that really what constitutes an "inactive faction" and a "wasted fief"? If you think we're going to rest on our laurels just because we have a strong defensive center you're mistaken. I'll try not to "take up too much space" with my one goddamn town (and one village - my faction does have several active people, you know, hardly an unfair proportion of players to fiefs).



The reason you do well at the early stages of the sieges against Dhirim is because that half of the map is horrible for defense. The front half, the walls and the streets with the center courtyard, are absolutely awful to try and hold. You can ladder into the left tower, and onto the archer shack between it and the gatehouse where we can't stand safely, and drop down behind defenders  with ease. Trying to hold the walls or the gatehouse leads us into getting entirely surrounded, and eventually the walls break and attackers get into the streets from both sides, where the only chokepoints turn into new ways to get backstabbed from. It's like a tiny field battle where the attackers are completely covered before they creep up at you from three sides. The map overall is too easy in front and too hard in back for attacking.

You will hopefully notice that we never immediately start the battles by falling back into the chokepoints beyond the archways, and that we never start using the superior rear ones first; we go through each one in succession. The fact that it's been a matter of less than ten minutes in some of those fights before the gatehouse is lost is absolutely ridiculous. Once it's lost, there's nothing left to defend but those archways and, eventually, the keep itself.

I forgot all castles must be able to be rolled.

Artyem, if you are going to nerf Dhirim, be sure to nerf all castles(not just the castles of your friends enemies).

Last time I checked, though, castles and cities were made to be hard to take, and Dhirim is a good example of a Linear Castle.

If someone wants to get a collection of fiefs that are fucked up (Ichamur, Dhirim, etc) then I'd love to try and revamp them.  Castles like Rindyar and Knudarr are bad ass because they're placed in a legitimate location.  Both are on top of hills, are relatively small and easy to maneuver (Uhhun Castle is similar) and the walls are tough to ladder on.  The difference is that you CAN ladder on to the walls, you CAN take different routes and approaches.

Dhirim is not bad ass because it's been placed in a legitimate location, it's in a huge open field and only 1/3 of it is surrounded by real walls.  The rest of it is surrounded by invisible walls and leads to the most out of place and completely impregnable inner keep I've ever seen.

Yes, castles are supposed to be hard  to take, but they are not by any means supposed to be this linear.  Once we take the walls it's a one way grind that at most earns us 15k xp per tick, and I for one am not okay with that.  Try fighting as an attacker and you'll see what I mean.

I mean, I can understand the frustration, but castles there were indeed designed that way. If you were able to get on those walls, what would you do, though? Suicide off them, put ranged up there? What about when we retreated into the keep and spammed rondels?

Which do you think should be harder to take? Dhirim or this?
(click to show/hide)

Personally I think Durrin should be harder but guess what... It would actually be easier to attack than Dhirim. Cities are not supposed to be super castles... they are supposed to be less defensible because they are open trade centres whereas castles are military installations designed to withhold attacks. Villages should be the easiest, towns second easiest and castles hardest to attack.

Most (if not all) other cities are fairly even, if the attackers have a good strategy they can keep the defenders on their toes as the fiefs are just too damn big for the defenders to be everywhere at once; this is just not the case with dhirim as it is actually a really small map. Also, other cities generally have lots of different ways to approach them but this one is literally just a funnel that gets tighter and tighter until culminating in 3 separate tiny ass doors with spawns behind. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the map maker needs a good slap in the face.

I love linear maps, though Dhirim is a poorly constructed one. Fighting in the chokepoints outside the keep is intense and simple. It takes the usually complex act of Strat HONOR BATTLES and reduces it to it's simplest form--a back and forth struggle between two opposing teams.

Dhirim is great until we get to that fucking keep. A single doorway is too easy to defend--you've got a whole team of maulers, shielders, and xbowmen waiting for you on the other side.

I think the keep at Dhirim should simply have multiple entrances. Maybe two doorways, with one accessible via a side-street or an underground passage. I like the idea of having to break into a heavily defended keep--it's fun, in theory. In practice.

How yet resolves the governor of the town?
This is the latest parle we will admit;
Therefore to our best mercy give yourselves;
Or like to men proud of destruction
Defy us to our worst: for, as I am a soldier,
A name that in my thoughts becomes me best,
If I begin the battery once again,
I will not leave the half-achieved Harfleur
Till in her ashes she lie buried.
The gates of mercy shall be all shut up,
And the flesh'd soldier, rough and hard of heart,
In liberty of bloody hand shall range
With conscience wide as hell, mowing like grass
Your fresh-fair virgins and your flowering infants.
What is it then to me, if impious war,
Array'd in flames like to the prince of fiends,
Do, with his smirch'd complexion, all fell feats
Enlink'd to waste and desolation?
What is't to me, when you yourselves are cause,
If your pure maidens fall into the hand
Of hot and forcing violation?
What rein can hold licentious wickedness
When down the hill he holds his fierce career?
We may as bootless spend our vain command
Upon the enraged soldiers in their spoil
As send precepts to the leviathan
To come ashore. Therefore, you men of Harfleur,
Take pity of your town and of your people,
Whiles yet my soldiers are in my command;
Whiles yet the cool and temperate wind of grace
O'erblows the filthy and contagious clouds
Of heady murder, spoil and villany.
If not, why, in a moment look to see
The blind and bloody soldier with foul hand
Defile the locks of your shrill-shrieking daughters;
Your fathers taken by the silver beards,
And their most reverend heads dash'd to the walls,
Your naked infants spitted upon pikes,
Whiles the mad mothers with their howls confused
Do break the clouds, as did the wives of Jewry
At Herod's bloody-hunting slaughtermen.
What say you? will you yield, and this avoid,
Or, guilty in defence, be thus destroy'd?

There was a conversation amongst the clan leaders about you and your actions, unanimously we decided you were not a good representative of the FCC in Strategus. I don't lie to people and I don't make shit up.

I'd rather I didn't see you the way I do, but the way you conduct yourself contradicts what you preach. You're also always playing off the hatred of the FCC to get attention.

I don't care if people say angry things about the FCC when they do shit that is unfavorable or if they argue with Kesh or Bale or Matey or whatever. But you seriously go way to far with your obsession.

If someone wants to get a collection of fiefs that are fucked up (Ichamur, Dhirim, etc) then I'd love to try and revamp them.  Castles like Rindyar and Knudarr are bad ass because they're placed in a legitimate location.  Both are on top of hills, are relatively small and easy to maneuver (Uhhun Castle is similar) and the walls are tough to ladder on.  The difference is that you CAN ladder on to the walls, you CAN take different routes and approaches.

Dhirim is not bad ass because it's been placed in a legitimate location, it's in a huge open field and only 1/3 of it is surrounded by real walls.  The rest of it is surrounded by invisible walls and leads to the most out of place and completely impregnable inner keep I've ever seen.

Yes, castles are supposed to be hard  to take, but they are not by any means supposed to be this linear.  Once we take the walls it's a one way grind that at most earns us 15k xp per tick, and I for one am not okay with that.  Try fighting as an attacker and you'll see what I mean.

Arty you made a post that both Canary and Kesh +1'd.

Time for a Strat reset.

Off topic, and I apologize for this, but with all this castle design talk, etc...............

What is required for doing castle designs??    Is it a 3d program where you design it yourself, a 2d drawing/design submitted, etc, etc..........

I'm just curious. 

Thank you!

Nope, you just need Warband, some text files and the competency to read and understand a guide.

@ gmoont Except I have never even been in FCC's strat faction. Look at all my battles, when was I ever flying the FCC flag? You claim I was removed for attacking people in strat, but why would it come up as Jesus and Company in the battle tab instead of FCC? You're not lying, you're just parroting fabricated information. I don't know you and have never spoken to you, but if you did know me you would know I don't take computer games seriously enough to become "obsessed" over it. If you lose sleep over this game that's all fine and dandy, but don't assign your own faults unto others. If you really are getting upset over words said during strat battles (which is friendly competition), then maybe you should quit watching your super serious animes and understand how human interaction works in real life. If you're not having fun in battles, then what are you even doing playing?

And if Dhirrim is to be changed, so should Sargoth, Vyincourd, Samarra, and a myriad of other castles with unbreakable walls. There should be a standard with all castle/cities, not just when one faction decides to complain about it after losing army after army.

The walls can not be damage, as they are wooden and the devs have not put the final touches on them yet. Besides that, its perfectly fine place to attack. Maybe a little too much room for the attackers to hit the walls from, its very spread out.

I removed you myself after we had a talk with the other leaders - made you rank 0 and then declined application.  You were ruining our reputation with Free Peasants of Fisdnar and Remnant and attacking peaceful traders when we were trying to support free traders.

Sorry forum moderator, but this picture is necessary to my argument and is completely c-rpg related.
(click to show/hide)

As you can see here I attacked Tugboat. Nothing out of the ordinary, but what faction am I apart of? If you look it up through the archive under "no faction" it wont come up. Why? Because I am apart of a faction at that time! It just wont tell you which one because I left it. As apart of my Mechin agreement, I had to actively patrol the steppe during the kutt and hospitaller war during that month under the faction: FCC. Yet there is no mention or hint of me being under the FCC banner at that time, even though I admit I was.

(click to show/hide)
Here is the same thing with Jesus. I say you attack HG/remnant under an FCC banner at least once, sadly at this time there is no way to confirm or deny the argument. If you can prove to me without a shadow of a doubt I am wrong, I'll apologize. I have no problem admitting my mistakes.

I didn't know loving ninjas, rogues, thieves, etc could be a basis for judgement over how people socialize in real life. If someone repeatedly flings bullshit at my friends are you suggesting I sit quietly and do nothing? Because I find so much fault in that theory.

I enjoy the game perfectly fine, thanks for your concern.

I remember when TAMDA / FLoTT still existed and JesusChrist kept attacking HG traders, after two or three attacks we finally voted to outlaw him and he was made a target by our patrols.  Later, he applied for entry to our group and was denied on the spot since he was previously being a menace and of course was blacklisted.

Not only did he do this but he eventually made this thread:

http://forum.meleegaming.com/diplomacy/support-network-of-independent-peaceful-entrepreneurs-eu-na/msg783566/#msg783566

And upon pointing out that he not only declared war on a network of free traders prior to this, I was told that I was a troll and was 'spamming' his thread.

Dynamike's first post on that thread really says it all, and I'd quote it but our lord and savior decided to lock the thread.

JesusChrist's agenda is not only hypocritical but it also serves to do quite the opposite of it's "intended purpose".  Stop labeling yourself as a supporter of free trade and entrepreneurship, because you're clearly not.  You seriously proved yourself to be so against free trade that you were banned from a pact that almost literally anybody could have gotten into. Good show, JC, good show.

Negative, I have never been in FCCs strat faction and I'm willing to bet on that. I wager 1 million strat gold that I have never attacked anyone flying under the FCC banner, nor have I ever been in FCCs strat faction or meddled in their affairs. If devs want to look into this silly matter then they are welcome to. As to artyem, that clearly was (me joining the Free Traders) a joke. After all I was as you say, still claiming war against them. The fact that you guys seriously considered my application gives me a few chuckles though, thanks for that.

Any Astralis could probably vouch that I was under the name "Jesus and Company" (I used their teamspeak for most of my early battles). I have served no master but the one above and thats been my motto since strat 3. Quit trying to besmirch my name and admit your mistakes, its not too late.

Also Gmno, you should re-read those posts.

The subject of the reply is the topic of him being in a strat faction. If he intended to defend himself based on this allegation he would have said something along the lines of "I was never in the strat faction, but I left the c-rpg clan under my accord".

Either way he attacked HG/Remnant while wearing the FCC banner, whether it is c-rpg or strat (or both) and was removed for it. I am either partially correct here or completely correct and the only people who really know the truth are JC and the FCC leadership.

I literally changed his ranking to 0 and then declined his application after making him rank 0 myself.  He was just west of reyvadin when I did it.  I believe the timeline went like this - he attacked some random peopel and pissed off people we were friendly with, murder had him join the strategus faction, he attacked another guy, we talked with these friendly people, didn't like how keeping him would ruin our reputation with him attacking peaceful traders because he hates free trade, and after the other leaders agreed including murder, i removed him from our strategus faction.  There may or may not have been a strategus battle with him attacking HG while under our banenr and there were understandably annoyed when he won with a bunch of FCC mercs carrying him. 

Just like when you change your name and all your past battles get updated with the new name change - if you leave a faction it will often update without the old faction but instead with no faction under the battles listings - has happened to gmnotutuo as well.

http://c-rpg.net/index.php?page=strategusbattlesarchive#!?page=strategusinfobattledetail&id=2727 (http://c-rpg.net/index.php?page=strategusbattlesarchive#!?page=strategusinfobattledetail&id=2727)  I believe this was the battle where he attacked HG and I signed up for him as a member of our faction even though we were friendly with HG.  I had to explain myself and why we were harboring a known bandit, a hater of free trade.  Went and talked with murder and some of the other guys and hung his resurrected ass out to dry.  Would never have signed up against HG unless he was in our faction.


Either way he was in our faction - had his troops and gear counts and gold in our factions listing page at one point and we had to reject him because he hates free trade and was fucking up our relations with our neighbors with his erratic crazy behavior.



P.S.  Im putting up stones for 1 million crpg gold - please dont prove yourself a welcher as well as a bandit.

Well, it works. I wouldn't consider a rank 0 part of the faction, but because of that shitty bug that makes it so that you get all faction shit and see their armies, etc, I'd classify it as Partial.

Missed this reply in the sea of posts. That's not really a problem that map makers can address. It would just be stupid to add stone walls to nordic holdings.

Missed this reply in the sea of posts. That's not really a problem that map makers can address. It would just be stupid to add stone walls to nordic holdings. They need to adjust catapults to make them useful on all maps. Honestly, what were thinking? Who decided that a giant, flying rock couldn't damage wood?

I think you forget that this game has perfect coding and is in a extremely finalized state.

It has to do with either the coding for the broken version of the wooden walls or the models themselves. If I recall, there are broken models for those walls somewhere in the mod's files, I do believe I've seen them. It seems to be, again, a matter of implementation.

At least if you were accepted into the strat clan, you could argue its somewhat of the FCC's fault. Instead you glitch your way under their strat banner, attack an ally and create a diplomatic mess, and still have the audacity to claim you left with no bad blood.

You were rejected by a clan that considered you to be WORSE than their standards. This is fact.

Its obvious you have no ability to argue intelligently, but whatever as long as you're being a prick I'll be a prick to you. I'd really like to see you tone down your attitude and antics, if you do I'd be more than happy to extend an olive branch. I get the feeling you're not capable of doing it, but please prove me wrong.

On another note: I hope M:BG will support flinging livestock carcasses at fortifications like in Stronghold... really could use that right about now.

Or just make is so that a whole castle or city isn't repaired magically as soon as the battle is over.  Either make it repair slowly over time, or have the owner of the fief (either the one who retains ownership, or the new owner who just took it over) be able to repair is sooner with gold.

Both you (Jesus) and sandersson whined and begged us not to attack again in follow up wave at 3 am (we never intended to, we have been really good about doing primetime atatcks - the 1:40 am was fine because it was a saturday night.  Saying it would hurt the community - I dont see either of you saying anything when chaos attacks illuminati after the siege at 3:30 am - I guess FCC can be the only bad guys and everyone fighting them are angels.

Bringing this up again because stones shan't go unthrown in this community:

It's like that time Ostulor had his nighttime set to end at 11pm. We were asked by Kesh to change it and we obliged because, hey, people like attacks to happen when they attack, and I for one think nighttime is a knavery.

Then they get this guy Legs, you see. He's got his nighttime perfectly set to cover up the FCC's own self-proclaimed holy touted "primetime" which is apparently the only reasonable time to fight battles at for anyone in North America. Anyway, it was set for 7pm to 3am Central.

Double standards? "Payback" for payback? Bait we took? Player error? At least he doesn't own a fief? Incoming excuses parade? I guess we'll find out.

I suggest another theory: It was Chaos spies who suggested to Legs to make his night time such ridiculous hours. Now, you get to pretend to be outraged and take the place of the good guy. I see through you!

I expect everyone to be good and drunk for that 4am battle. I sure will be.

And now also the 6am battle. Can't blame night time settings on that (mostly insignificant) one.

Lol, thank the new broken nighttime setting - most people havent been able to set it properly because its relatively unknown among the new website changes.  You probably should give it a day or so before attacking.  Don't worry you are now part of an allianc of about 80% of the strategus players on the map - i'm sure you will have no problem outnumbering us with na mercs  :wink:.  Chaos and Frisian players don't sleep.  10 bucks says more than 6 chaos and frisians will show up each and based on their "faction size" thats over a third of yours and their players - not going to lie I'm a little jelly my faction with so many players doesn't have the same number of no-lifers - I know I'm completely exhausted trying to keep up with you guys.

So let me get this strait, you responded we'll with two sentences then used the rest of a massive paragraph to talk shit? You should probibly look over the acre neutrality thread and notice that your FCC bros wanted the shitposting to stop. By all means go ahead, but if you do I'm sure that means open game to anybody for now on. I don't speak for anybody, but I was going to stop shitposting.

How To Make Love

One: Buy condoms. Buy them and keep them with you at all times, and use them before you are asked to use them. And use them every time. The peace of mind you allow your partner will free her to be vulnerable with you, and that, my son, is exactly what sex is about. Condoms are sexy. In fact, call buying condoms foreplay.
(Footnote: If you are too embarrassed to buy condoms, you are not ready to have sex.)

Two: Kissing is not merely foreplay. Spend entire evenings making out on the couch while fully clothed. Believe me, dry-humping rocks.

Three: Sex is not just about friction. It’s about emotion. Stop trying to find her clitoris and find her heart. Because then she’ll help you find her clitoris.

Four: If you really wanna know how to please a woman, ask her how she masturbates. Then do that. A lot. If she claims she doesn’t masturbate, offer to take her shopping for a vibrator so you can both learn the vocabulary of her body together.

Five: Don’t put anything in her butthole you wouldn’t want in your own.
(Footnote: Try a pinky finger, it’s kinda awesome.)

Six: When you go down on her—and you will go down on her, and if you are my son, you will be amazing at it—tell her how good she tastes. Stop in the middle and kiss her deeply so she knows how good she tastes. Do the same when she goes down on you.

Seven: A simple Google search will yield 1,327 euphemisms for male masturbation, yet only 23 for female masturbation. If guys spent less time jacking off and more time jilling off, this world would be a happier place.

Eight: Everything you need to know about the importance of the clitoris is in the movie Star Wars. You are Luke Skywalker piloting your penis-shaped X-Wing Fighter deep inside her trench. Remember: seventy percent of all Death Stars cannot be blown up through penetration of the trench alone. It must be through focused contact with that little exhaust port at the top of the trench. Otherwise, any explosions you experience will be merely Hollywood special effects.

Nine: Just because you come doesn’t mean she has, so don’t you dare come before her. Focus completely on your partner. Don’t worry about gettin’ yours, you’re a guy. You always get yours. Your job is to make sure she’s gettin’ hers.

Ten: If sex with your partner lasts no longer than this poem, you are not making love. You are masturbating with her body instead of your hand. Shame on you. Go back to step one. You’ve got a lot of learning to do.

You keep missing my point though. You suggested that hospitallers has never had spergs... but it has. And, some of them sperged far harder than Kesh currently does. Anyone who has been on TS with devestated when he is flipping shit can attest to that.

as for who is currently the biggest active sperg? I dunno... I guess Kesh is pretty high on the list but he isn't alone there, he just comes across angrier in his posts than many other people do even though some of his detractors may well be just as angry if not angrier. Kesh thinks the forums are pretty hilarious.

New Samarra Castle

Lord Joe stood behind his Champion Courser on the stairs leading into the dungeons. "My love," he said, "It's two fucking steps."

"B-but I have four legs. I'm not sure how this is supposed to work." She put a leg forward, then hastily brought it back.

She was a good horse, but vertical movement could be a problem.

Joe squeezed past her sweat-coated flank . "Just let me know when you're ready, alright?"

He walked into a long, stone hallway. It was dark and cold, despite the flickering torches. Waiting for him was the leadership of the Free Companies. Great lords, all of them, in glittering mail and finely woven heraldry.

Bale muttered something about "nutcase" and "horse". Kesh, her hair lighting up the dungeon with it's glory, seemed worried.

Also present, much to Joe's surprise, was Lord Tydeus. Tydeus hadn't been present during their seizure of the castle, and shortly thereafter the armies of SEMEN STORM had surrounded the place, yet somehow the warrior had gotten in. Joe smiled at the dour group before him. "What'cha need?"

Gristle stepped forward, he seemed less angry than he was sad. He fiddled his little plate-shaped hat. "Joe, we need you to, uh, interrogate a political prisoner. BADPLAYER. He has resisted us, but perhaps you can do something to get him to talk." He glanced over Joe's shoulder. "You and your, erm, maiden."

Kesh cleared her throat, and a man's voice came out. "He glitched the fucking castle, and we need to know how... So we can do the same. This wizardry could help us defeat Hospitaller and their vassals: Occitan and SEMEN STORM, once and for all"

Joe nodded. "I'm gay."

"I knew we could count on you."
---------------------------

Joe and Champion Courser strode into the interrogation room. BADPLAYER hung from the wall by chains, his sweating, shivering, form shocking to behold. His neckbeard hung to the floor, devoid of its usual luster.
"BADPLAYER--sorry for shouting that--you've been a naughty boy."

"Joe? Is that a horse? Oh God, what the fuck are you going to do to me now?"

"We," Joe said, "Are going to talk."

"I've got nothing to say to you. I thought you were going to protect me." He sounded breathless. The Terrortops must have had his way with him.

Joe looked to his horse, smiling. "Honey, I think it's time for the Halibut." He strode to a chest in the corner and retrieved a large fish.

"Are you talking to your horse? Jesus Christ."

Joe put on his fish-beating face and leapt across the room. He fell upon BADPLAYER, smiting him with savage blows.
-------------------------------

In a room next door, the leaders of FCC sat in a circle. They could hear the sound of wet fish-slaps through the wall.

Gristle was pacing. "He's going to kill him. We can't do this. Not when BADPLAYER came to us in friendship."

Tydeus spoke, "We need to know. I can't just ban him on a hunch."

WITCHCRAFT said, "I could try some potions. They don't work, but BADPLAYER--sorry for yelling--doesn't know that.

Kesh frowned. "They work sometimes. Remember that siege and the necromancy?" She looked suddenly worried. "Wait. What if--?"

"OH GOD YOU'RE A WIZARD!"

Joe's cry filled the dungeon, along the neighing of his triple-loomed Courser.

The leaders of FCC and Tydeus leapt to their feet, drawing swords and rushing into the hall. Gristle fumbled with the keys to the interrogation room. The sound of scuffling feet and grunting could be heard on the other side. The door clicked, and the brave lords rushed in.

What the saw was terrible.

Joe and his horse were locked in a deadly struggle with BADPLAYER'S neckbeard. It had grown to twice its normal length, and had a life of its own. Joe wrestled desperately for control of his Halibut.

The lords of FCC and Tydeus fell upon the dread neckbeard with fierce battle-cries, hacking and grappling. BADPLAYER was laughing, cackling, his beard growing more and more.

Suddenly, the fell neckbeard was on fire, a torch caught in its Mountain Dewy tangles. Somebody yelled "GOTTEM COACH!"

It was over. BADPLAYER was consumed by the flames, his last utterance an angry shriek.

Tydeus, panting, sheathed his sword. He looked at the confused faces around him. "I'll, uh, talk chadz about that. Let's... Let's just say I banned him, for now." This was met with muttered agreements.

Bale shook his great, horned head. "Why did we fucking do this in the first place?"


((This is how I spend my days off now))
