If THE GOBBLIN KING can take Dhirim
Tis' would be a valid proof of true godlike status. Succeed where the numberless tickets of the FCC failed and you will win Strat.
I really am in a singular position to be balefully obstinate should I choose to do so. Which is worse: playing into whatever it is the GOBBLINs want, which probably means more action in the game in the long run, or sitting pretty in a nigh-impregnable fief just because I can? And to what end in the latter case? Faction identity? Personal pride? Continued complacency?
As much as the past defenses of New Dhirim were legendary (though not in a positive way{unless you're talking KDR!}), seeing it used as a gigantic middle finger just to try and get some more lopsided defenses in our favor doesn't sound nearly as fun as being the tool of some kind of whackjob visionary invader-king.

Canary has been given the chance to provide the NA community with fun and XP, or the chance to turtle inside his fiefs until the end oftimestrategus. By joining the realm of the GOBBLIN KING, he and his clan will be part of a faction that actively seeks a fight rather then the turtle and trade simulator that most clans seem to be playing nowadays. As an obligatory GOBBLIN post:

Wait.. if Canary gives into the GOBBLIN KING'S demands then does that mean we are free from the oppressive forum moderators?

Twould be hard to shake things up if everyone supports him.
Can a faction member attack another member of their faction? Not as in "is it allowed", but can it be done? Because I know I became a GOBBLIN with the idea that eventually, when all were GOBBLIN, we'd just attack eachother, driven as we are by bloodlust. Hell, probably before then, if the moment is right.
But if Canary capitulates to the GOBBLINs that would mean no xp until the GOBBLINs go attack someone else... it would also mean CHAOS, FUPA, LCO, Frisia and at least some of Astralis are all supporting GOBBLIN KING along with a few other people from all over... I hope I'm not the only one who would see that as being counterproductive to the GOBBLIN goal of saying "fuck you" to the current NA bi-polar power system. Twould be hard to shake things up if everyone supports him.
True, it would mean less xp for a very short time while we chose another target. If we attacked CHAOS there would certainly be xp. But if CHAOS is absorbed, we gain more troops to utilize in future battles, letting our campaigns last longer. Something also tells me CHAOS has more troops saved up than active players to efficiently use them. Essentially, it's less xp for a short time but much more xp in the long term.
Maybe. Chaos might not be that active but they can prolly put good rosters together. If CHAOS gives in then next target is prolly SKoT followed by either TKoV or FCC. I recall the goal being to hit factions that have not been launching any attacks but I have a hard time imagining the Gobblins heading to the desert since most of the active players from those inactive factions are in full support of the GOBBLIN KING. I should probably just keep my skepticism to myself and just sit back and enjoy the (hopefully lots of) xp...
For a fun look at things.. you can check battle history in NA and go to the graph and see how much each faction has attacked, to give better perspective you can then filter for that faction only and switch to list view to see how many of those attacks are actually involving decent numbers.
yeah it would be kind of weird if chaos joins them - then the 4 most inactive factions are part of a horde focused on attacking the least active factions on the map - kind of like watching the oroboru (how you spell it?) snake eating its own tail though my skepticism says there will be plenty of rationalizing coming along to save the day so that the contradiction will be soundly ignored.

You presented a contradiction yourself within your own example: if the "most inactive factions" are attacking other people, they're not quite inactive anymore, are they?
Of course, with them having tons of duped gear gold, i guess they don't really need the fiefs.
wut?
Someone told me they have lots of gold from dupped gear. Not sure if that's true, but it would almost seem like it.......It's not.
And to Anders; how do you feel okay making speculative claims about us maybe somehow have gotten duped gear from vague reports you won't even admit the source of... but you say nothing of a faction that within the last week had it proved that they received millions of gold in free duped gear. Like the fuck m8.
Protip: we gave that gold (about 7 or 8 million of it) to TKoV when they were fighting Occitan because we felt they had the gear disadvantage. We didn't keep any of it.
Not really to sure, actually. Maybe I heard it from Kesh? It was after our battle versus you.
With the power invested in me as THE GOBBLIN KING,
I hereby declare the Space Jam Theme Song to be the official song of
THE REALM OF THE GOBBLIN KING,
and declare Smoothrich the BARDOFTHEGOBBLINKING.
What the fuck, you promoted the overwight receding hairline fucker as your bard? He would never pass as a bard unless he paid people to play in their location.
Edit: Bring back spook, the proper troll.
I mean, Rubes owns34 fiefs.34 DAMN FIEFS .
Don't you dare call spook a troll, he was a hero forced into the role of a martyr.
have you ever looked in the mirror arys
you look like a homeless person dressing up as a pirate/shitty biker hybrid for halloween i can honestly smell the uncleanliness of you from your posts

Who the fuck are you and what kind of a forum name is that?We both know if he was named death2murica or death2germsmany no one wouild give a fuck...
Get out.

pathetic
Really?!? Now you are going to make up something about me? I never said that.I love how Kesh is saying "cowardly" when he's hiding in all of his castles because he can't win one field battle or siege.
Though I did say arrowaine and occitan are pretty much the most cowardly clan in strat. Grand war - 5 attacks over 5 months and then running away marching 12K troops south back to desert. If the Gobblins were ever wondering why xp is short they only have to look at those pixel cowards. No wonder they have never done anything in 3 strats except be the lapdogs for other factions. Buying fiefs with strat silver and mercs with crpg gold is about all they are good for. A very active trading faction though.

I love how Kesh is saying "cowardly" when he's hiding in all of his castles because he can't win one field battle or siege.Should have seen the FCC field battle they had last night. Ouch :mrgreen:

Well sir, most of those castles actually came about from the voting system used in the beginning of this round of Strategus. In addition, other castles were absorbed into their group from clans that joined up with them. Some were taken by force though (most of which were given away to other folks).
Hm, most actually came out of the KUTT conquest. they only started with that central area near Sargoth.
Ismarala, Jelbegi, Sargoth, Knudarr: Vote
Tilbaut: Annex - Could really just say absorbed since Fallen joined FCC at that point.
Derchios: Captured
Kelredan: Captured, Sold
Senuzgada: Captured, Sold
Reyvadin: Captured
Ichamur: Captured
Sengutche: Captured, Sold, Absorbed(?), Independent - Sold to some EU clan who hasn't done anything since they got it.
Yruma: Captured, Sold - Didn't Remnants capture this before they joined FCC?
Slezekh: Captured, Sold, Absorbed later - Didn't the Teutonic Knights capture this before they joined FCC?
There were some others, most likely.
I was only talking about castles here. I wasn't aware we were talking about the towns and such too. I have nothing to say on the town sieges that FCC has done since they've taken a few of them. You're doing a great job on that part.
The cities I did only cause they were walled, and there was only 4 actually to worry about.Teutonic did actually take slezkh and rem took yruma
Annex/absorbed are the same.
Sengutche: I said as much, but we are talking about FCC not that random faction
Yruma: Thought it was FCC. It was during the KUTT war.
Slezkh: No that was FCC I thought.
Teutonic did actually take slezkh and rem took yruma
Didnt we sell or give Rindyar to Frisia? I assume that means we captured it first.. I was inactive at the time so I honestly don't know.
K so then FCC took 6 Castles by force. I do believe that's the most of any faction on NA strat atm. I do believe they had some down in the desert as well as I believe Distar Castle in the steps taken from Hosp same time Hosp lost Ichamur(before LCO took it over, I think?)
Just go look at my bloody battle page listings and see if it's there. (http://forum.melee.org/diplomacy/the-great-na-war-losses-to-date/msg722929/#msg722929)
Pretty much every feif that FCC has taken was vs an enemy who has significant roster disadvantages or had significant recourse disadvantages.
KUTT fiefs had only themselves, Teutonic for a period, and hospitaller for mercs.
Hospi's castle an city lost only had Occitan, hospitaller, and a few randoms mercing for them
Chaos/FIDLGB fiefs were lost due too shear size of FCC's resources(number of troops and enough gold to get 45+? Armor on each of them).
K so then FCC took 6 Castles by force.
rip me now i can die in peace
good fight fcc i had fun leeching in my own battle haueuh
When EU invades and NA unites under THE GOBBLIN KING, I shall allow FCC generals to lead our sieges.

We'd get rekt if we tried to invade EU, we'd likely get rekt if EU invaded NA, but the one slim chance we have would be superior ping (but they typically get better ping to NA than we do to EU). EU has superior troops and gold than NA does....with the possible exception that maybe the gear bug has benefited more NA clans than EU ones.
Also Hospitaller lands are right on the border with EU so we'd get steam rolled first :shock:
Yeah, no... FCC would have to beat down the euros again if they invaded. And your 17K garrison would be backed with 90K more troops.

After participating in my first EU strat battle, I can safely say that EU is not more skilled than NA. They had some scary players (Bagge) but we have our own share of badass players as well. The one thing that really impressed me was the amount of ladder spam and pressure applied to the castle. The attacking force must have used over 1000 ladders throughout the fight to enter the breach.
Being able to speak the same language in NA helps...a lot.

Sending a 4000 man army into FCC lands to snake Vayejag from us is an act of aggression?
I was asking a question. I appreciate you responding. Leads me to my next question, will you be giving it back (without respeccing it) promptly?
I will come collect it back. If you do that to another fcc fief we will gladly join the war against the gob king. take your army somewhere else. Looks like we will have to pay LL another visit for starting the process
our swords will be swifter then yours.
Nooo! Don't kill yourselves before we get there!Seriously im sick of reading this dribble, we all know you got 20k+ troops ready to enter the Steppe from the north. Kesh might even give you a "Balls of Steel" label if you advance.

Bring it FCC scum you will be punished. We are waiting with open arms to crush you.
I know why you are scared and why you will only try and move in dog breath hours: FCC get crushed in open field battles every time even when they out gear the enemy. The records prove what I say.
Wow you can take a castle when no one but you know the wooden walls can be breached. Some of you say its being smart but really it's just cheese.
Bring it bitches of FCC we are waiting for you.
P.S. Fuck you GOBBLIN'S and we love you

we do just fine in open field it seems
Good fight on both sides - really close to equal rosters for once. Rain hurt a bit and being attackers, but overall was a lot of fun and xp, almost as much fun as invading EU.
Daruvian tried to get people to defend for 20 minutes and it blew cock because defending means you don't get to hold down your W key.
Then DJ Barbeque turned it up and we started attacking for the remainder of the fight. It is impossible for GOBBLINS to defend; they can only attack while spawning in different places.
FOR THE SOVEREIGN KINGDOM(click to show/hide)
I don't think you guys won a single battle that war
Huh, the sovereign kingdom was actually the ones holding off gobblins for quite a while by winning several battles against full plate armies. They actually put up more of a fight than most against the unlimited gold and plate armies.
You know whats funny, I just realized chosen1, you actually spend the effort to downvote every single one of my posts, even my merc recruitment or help newbies threads. Lol, you are such a badass, I almost didn't even notice until today. I wonder how long you have been making that effort - months, years? Bravo! You really got to me man, I'm feeling so insulted and bad. hahahahaha
nope from what I remember SKoT got shat on literally every battle they fought roflI'm pretty sure they won a few. They camped Sungetche's gatehouse and ended up keeping it, I remember that part.
yeah don't take it personally it doesn't take much effort and I do it to ALOT of people :D
Tis' would be a valid proof of true godlike status. Succeed where the numberless tickets of the FCC failed and you will win Strat.
If THE GOBBLIN KING can take Dhirim then Cup clan will accept THE GOBBLIN KING as a vassaljust realized when this was posted. Been playing for too long. too much autism
fuck strat 5
and ur fucking avatars. they're both shit.
alright i like where this is going
hey fuck you buddy
sandy, they are though, just look at his current avatar
guy looks like a fookin sex offender.
yeah well(click to show/hide)
The man that is Daruvian's avatar can drink far more milk than any single one of us and for that he deserves respect.
