Title: Multi Faced Kesh-IS FCC really Dead?
Post by: Lt_Anders on April 09, 2014, 11:45:21 pm
So, after the recent city battles(Ahmerrad, Nara), I found a disturbing fact. For Ahmerrad, Kesh went into TS to actively "recruit" people for AI roster. Funny thing, though, is that for NARA's second siege he didn't do this. I was wondering at work and just realized
http://c-rpg.net/index.php?page=strategusbattlesarchive#!?page=strategusinfobattleroster&id=923
KESH IS ON AOW ROSTER and thus didn't "recruit" for a faction that he is friendly/works/controls...

FCC 5.0 Still alive and kicking.

Well, duh, he's got to stop the evil GFORCE / LCO alliance from taking over the marginally larger WoTN / Acre / Squids.

If I was a Kesh pawn and didn't even know it, I'd be feeling real bad for myself right now.

It's ALWAYS worth it.

But, in this case...it "seems" to speak of a background dictator who isn't "directly" calling the shots.

Sums it up pretty well.  You guys should actually start fighting instead of circle-jerking and talking about me like somehow i will save strat for you.  I have been trying harder than anyone else to get ai rosters full - sorry but the 2nd narra fight - barely got home before the battle, no chance to recruit.  Though to be fair they always get plenty signed up against them on ai - its only gforce, lco, acre, and keyboard warriors so far that have been getting only 10-20 show up on ai defense of castles and cities - so I actually have to try and help so i can get decent xp instead of getting another lame circle-jerk flag cap.

P.S.  Anders - was this really worth an entire thread - are you that bored?

So now Kesh is entirely the FCC on his own? Last I checked it was a bunch of Bridgeburners, Cavalieres, and Unicorns + random independent troll factions like Narwhals or BS, not just one person. Kesh likes AoW and AoW wants him in their battles, to complain about this is petty Anders.

BTW there were four of us from the FCC fighting for the defense of Narra, but you don't care about us because you're dick-hard for bitching at Kesh when he doesn't deserve it.

Dude, you wanted/tried to convince people to sign up for a 100 AI battle(Ahmerrad part 2) to prevent geforce from getting free plate. Plus, you fought for AoW in the first battle too. To easy to see the connection lines.

And, I'm far more neutral/middle man than most people, though slightly less so since I'm Astralis now(who died, btw, and won't join a coalition cause it's stupid and lame).

I don't remember which battles this refers to, but I do remember we had an arrangement where we helped you out and you helped us out with mercs. It was really weird, and I couldn't tell if it was real (internet) life. It felt very bizarre.

But I appreciated it, and thanks, by the way. You're a good fella. The only thing I ever had against you was that you spoke rudely to some people in teamspeak during FCC battles, back when I fought for FCC mainly last strat. But I can understand why you'd do that. You're older than most of the people you were abrupt or harsh to; I see the same thing with military folks. It's nothing that I was too upset about. Like I said man, you're alright.

the fight I was talking about was your last second ninja roster win.


It has been a while since I lead any start fights and other then arguing with kesh about tactics or at kaelen because it is what you should do to kaelen. I generally tried to do a decent job... anyone who has had to do that multiple times while watching people run off to die repeatedly can understand a bit of frustration. I come from a military family so the lack of discipline can blow my mind at times. My apologies if I offended.

It's always funny when people freak out over merc support.  We let all our people merc for whoever the hell they want.  They can fight with whoever the hell they want.  They are grown men lol.  It's not a reflection on the policies of the clan.  Most of the time it's whoever asks first, whoever they like more, or they want XP.  In the case of AI fights who cares.  Good fights are better than not.  It doesn't have to be part of a grand conspiracy.   

And there is no FCC 2.0.  At the end of last strat Black Company voted to join the FCC if Kesh did it again.  Simply put he did a good job.  He was fun to fight for.  And he was always fair to us.  He didn't have to let me gain experience commanding battles.  He basically let me co-command a lot because he was a good leader.  By doing that I got more involved in stat.  Now I can command battles on my own.... thanks to him giving me the opportunity.  I know a lot of people hate him but the guy's been nothing but good to me.  I'm not trying to fluff his balls or anything.  It's just the truth. 

But he didn't reform.  So all the rumors of a new FCC 2.0 are BS.  Kesh hasn't asked us for a single thing this strat.  He hasn't conspired with us.  If he's not trying to pull BC then why would he try to reform other factions?  At one point we were part of the Wardens who control the whole NE corner of the map.  Kesh fought in all our battles but he didn't ask for anything.  It was just fun.  Furthermore it's too late now.  How or why would he try to re-form the FCC when all the independents are doing fine.  Some of those factions even went to war.  We fought Bird.  Other clans are having problems.  The FCC was last strat.  It was a great faction and helped most of my people learn to play.  But this is a new strat.  Most old ties fell away quickly over border disputes and personality issues. 

I haven't really spoken to Kesh much but I get the impression he wanted to let some of the small FCC factions go on their own.  He didn't want to put those clans under the sights of former enemies by "conspiring" with them lol.  He just wanted to play strat and give them the best chance to do the same.  Seems like he's doing fine over in the steppe.  I'm glad for him. 

This strat is a lot different than the last.  Anything could happen.

Well Anders, you've managed to get the blood flowing for your macabre sense of satisfaction, sucking the juices up with a bendy straw. Shadow governments, kesh godkingism, and pecker slapping. And that's why we love him. FCC makes perfect sense in EU with the druzhina people taking up the entire map, but not in NA. Honestly the whole superpack thing is getting annoying.

Shit's heating up.  I think there will be quite a bit happening soon.  There are no real mega blocks this strat.  So it might take longer to ignite a world war but it will happen.  When it does it will probably be a lot heavier than anything last strat.

Everyone's complaining about NA being slow.  But there were AI fiefs that needed to be taken first of all, then it takes days to cross the map, and with the new prices everyone is unsure of what gear they need to get to fight human players.

I'm trying to be aggressive, but damn it takes a long time.

Post by: Matey on May 05, 2014, 04:16:56 am
main reasons FCC didn't come back for this strat was lack of active players within the cRPG FCC faction, lack of interest among those who led FCC in previous strats and the hope that if we were willing to go it alone as a small new faction then others would do the same as they couldn't use the excuse of "OMG FCC!" to form or maintain mega alliances. FCC grew so big in strat 4 in response to our fear of a LCO/SS/Hosp/LL/Astralis/MB/CHAOS alliance/cooperative but the flip side was that those clans probably worked together more closely than they otherwise would have due to fear of (initially) VE and (later) FCC.

I haven't paid much attention this strat so I don't know how its going in terms of mega-alliances and so on but it seems like there is some opportunity for new and interesting wars and such though it has been slow so far and it may well end up being just 2 or 3 mega alliances duking it out by the end but maybe not?

Post by: FRANK_THE_TANK on May 05, 2014, 06:11:53 am
It's mostly mega clan instead of mega alliance. Some of the big boys have a lot of smaller Allys/Friends etc but nothing like Occitan working as a block with Acre or something crazy like that.

block noun, often attributive \ˈbläk\
: a solid piece of material (such as rock or wood) that has flat sides and is usually square or rectangular in shape

: an area of land surrounded by four streets in a city

: the length of one city block


is not the same as

bloc noun \ˈbläk\
: a group of people or countries that are connected by a treaty or agreement or by common goals
