Title: My 2 million silver army
Post by: Bryggan on September 02, 2014, 12:45:18 am
BID ON MY ARMY, DAMN YOU!

Apparently this is the last day to bid on my army.  I went through all the trouble of adding up the costs of each individual item, and I was on the last item when I screwed something up and my calculator said my gear was worth 5 billion silver.

Before that it was at 1.7ish million, and I still have some things to buy.  The other thing is that my army has not reached 1500 yet, but sits in the high 1300s.  Obviously a very well equipped 1300, but I should be closer to 1500 by the time I get to wherever I'm going.  Perhaps.

So Gentlemen, all this gear (non-transferable by the way) is worth a damn lot, and with my expertise in generalizing, it is practically priceless.  So help me help you crush your enemies (in NA) by bidding on my precious, precious bow at

 http://c-rpg.net/?page=marketplaceauction&id=8131

I will fight like a bastard for whoever wins this auction, no matter how much I personally hate you.  Any questions just pm me here, or on the C-Rpg site.

Potentially yr humble servant,
Lord Bryggan,
Commander of the 13 Knights
3rd place New Ichamur Egg and Spoon Race
Mercenary Extraordinaire,
Mighty warrior (generalwise, not actually fighting)
and Defender of the Faith.. Any faith, I don't care.

Your calculator was correct. It was 5.2 billion though.

Be careful what roads you wander down. Your astral breath is worth more than any hoarde of silver.

Of course not!  I'd never forget Dirk.  Without Dirk I would be nowhere.  I remember when him and I took New Shulus.  We were so worried about getting stomped on by the surrounding factions, but then in no time the two of us built an army that any large faction would have been proud of (the one we used to take New Slekzh Castle).

The only regret that I have is that we didn't have any experienced players with us at the beginning of Strat.  We definitely would have done a few things different (New Shulus and Sungetche Castle come to mind), but Strat is pretty simple to figure out.

BUT WHAT I REALLY WANT TO KNOW IS, "WHO WON MY ARMY?!?!"

Don't tell Jack this, but I'm still pretty pissed of at him for setting up the auction.  Not only was it premature (still 80 men short, and I would really like to buy some more lances, but the Spreadsheet of doom lies!!!  Been running around like an idiot!), but I still have no idea who won my army!
Title: Re: My 2 million silver army
Post by: Bryggan on September 04, 2014, 02:39:58 am
Never mind, just found out

Congratulations Keskimsit!!!!(yeah, I know, you told me you were gonna get it)

I am currently waiting for your orders.  And hurry!  I haven't commanded a battle for over a month now and the men are getting restless.

And thanks to everyone else who bid on me.  You all made me feel very special.

And let it be known to all the peoples of New Calradia that I am not responsible for my actions in the near future.  I am a mercenary, and the contact will be held as sacrosanct in my eyes!

If you want to bitch about being attacked by me in the near future, please direct all your comments to Keskimist.  I have no friends and no allies until I get my precious back (precious being the bow of course).

Are you sure that's my bow?  It sort of has a funny smell to it.  Like brimstone or something.  But it's be worth the risk, so I'll trade all my loomed gear for points, which should be about 16 lps.  Then I'll get Jack to trade his gear, which should bring in another 70 or 80 points...  OK, we're gonna have to grind for awhile.

Right, I am very dissapointed of the material. I've tried to use it for over an hour and it keeps itching! I want my money back!
Title: Re: My 2 million silver army
Post by: Bryggan on September 06, 2014, 03:37:01 pm
Ah, the itching.  That must be the astral breath that's infused in it... or maybe all the lice.  Perhaps its that highly contagious skin disease I caught from that prostitute in Niva Saren.

But it was an excellent auction; the price reached was well beyond my expectations at 64 gold, and I only paid 63 for it!!!  I haven't quite figured out my profits after the marketplace tax (I'm not a 'numbers' guy), but all in all I'm pretty happy.

I wish it was all looted gear and stolen silver!  That is how a true warrior lives!  But unfortunately it was all earned, except for some stuff I got from my last battle with the squids which was still in good condition.

If you checked your strat history, you'd see the 13 Knights went completely neutral and are now just a bunch of mercenaries come to get fat on the leftover of war.  But I never attacked KBW before.  I love you guys!  But unfortunately I also love everyone else, so I'm just going to attack where I'm told, and if your feelings get hurt... well, that'd be awful, but I hope we can still be friends after.

Oh, and if you guys decide to attack me.. well, first off, I hope its an awesome battle, full of intensity and drama, with everyone on the edge of their seats til the very end.  And, whether I manage to defend or get my ass kicked soundly, I hope to shake your hand and say, 'good game', and perhaps in the future we can sit in a bar and reminisce about it over beers.

Unless you cap my flags in the first ten minutes.  Then I'll squeal.

Too bad no one showed up for that strat battle. The terrain was... interesting. Could have been a nice 20-30 minute ordeal if defenders got their shit together.
Title: Re: My 2 million silver army
Post by: Bryggan on September 20, 2014, 04:50:14 pm
True.  The rosters were looking really close at the beginning, but sadly most of his team didn't show up.  And yeah, for once the terrain looked damned interesting, especially with that cliff on our right.  And its not very satisfying to win just because of roster support, and it must be very depressing to lose terribly because of the lack of it.

Sad to say, as much as I claim I want a good fight, I was finding myself concerned about scratching my beautiful, beautiful gear.  Gotta learn to let that feeling go unless I want to be one of the 'trading simulator' crowd.

After a pleasant little run I was defeated by a 150 man army.  Only having 5 guys against their 6 made victory impossible, unless they gave us 3 or 4 hours for the battle (ok, I forgot to sign up myself, but we all know I don't help much) Kind of stupid, but I'm sure Snicklez is delighted.  He scored a lot of gear.

I really thought a Sunday would be a good day.  That assumption cost me a lot.

So I guess I'm a free man again.  Time to start building my next army:(

Because it was only a 150 man battle, people passed it over. You needed to recruit to make sure, always recruit because shit like that happens.

This means that Snicklez is now the 2 million silver army and has to uphold your contract.

a man went to his son's room because he heard him scream. when he got there the boy was on his bed and said that there were monsters on his bed. the father got on his knees and pulled up the covers to look under his bed. he saw his son there even though he didn't hear any movement. he asked what his son was doing under his bed. the boy said "i'm hiding from monsters in my bed".

Yeah, that was my mistake.  I went and got really drunk instead Saturday night and got really hungover on Sunday morning.  And I thought it was an hour later than what it was.  But it seemed like such an easy battle.  150 armed men, so I thought the gear wouldn't be as good as it was.  I'm guessing Sniklez only had gear for 50 or so, cuz otherwise it would have shown 'shiny'.  And it was in the woods where other armies wouldn't be able to spot me.

Oops.

And Jack.... Yeah... Um...

I didn't even wake up for my own battle, I played LiF all night; then just crashed around an hour or so before the battle was to begin. To be fair I had just  spent somewhere around 600k for my army, sadly for me my army went into the Ghetto and got killed off cause of crime... Thanks Obama. Good fight though, just know all I ever wanted was love and peace... :*(
Title: Re: My 2 million silver army
Post by: Bryggan on September 30, 2014, 05:37:38 am
You had 650K worth of gear on that 150 man army?  Then why did it show armed and not heavily armed or even shiny?  Better keep them ticks coming, you got a lot of boots to fill.  And cuirasses and helmets too.
Title: Re: My 2 million silver army

I believe it goes by weight.  Lighter gear is worn before heavy gear.   So the soldier wears the light stuff, carries the heavy stuff.

Love how you expounded upon it, and corrected my 'misinformation' Kesh.  Plus the downvote was icing.  Thank you.

Seriously, it's an observation I made while gearing up my army.  The more gear I had vs troops, the less 'armed' I appeared.  When I dropped off gear I wouldn't be using, ie lighter stuff, I went from armed to heavily armed, and heavily armed to shiny on both occasions.  Troop count didn't change upon drop off, but dumping the lighter gear certainly did.

I'm not sure, when I checked before the attack it said I was a heavy army; perhaps it glitched or something, I'm un-aware either way. I have around like 3k ticks so I'm good for a little while, but you're right; I have some big shoes to fill! (Literally, I looted so many fucking boots haha)

The "status" of your army is determined by the weight of the gear. This has been confirmed through more than 3 people. Now as for how it works for light v heavy, that's news to me.

I think you will be sad and lonely at my battle.  All my men are passed out drunk on the floor and no one will show up.  The hangman's noose will be good enough for them.

And as if I'd attack anyone without a contract, or without fair warning.  I always give my targets fair warning when I'm going to attack so we can arrange a decent place and time.
