So we shouldn't have attacked someone who attacked us first? They had time to build up and by attacking they showed they were willing for a war. I don't know how it can be our fault for responding to them attacking us first. Feel free to point out anything you feel I said wrong I want to see your point of view on this. Not a fight just a debate :P

I mean I feel as if the whole "they attacked so they were ready for war" argument is tantamount to the "She was wearing those clothes, so she was just asking to be raped" argument. Yeah, Berserks raided, and you responded in a fashion which you felt as appropriate, but stop and think for a moment; was it really appropriate?
It's pretty simple. There's no reason to wipe any faction off the map at this point. If you haven't gotten my point of view based off the points I made, then no matter how often I post about it, you won't get it.
.....yes? Also not sure what the rape thing is about as it is a very poor analogy. A better one is: If someone pokes you in the eye so you hit them in the face.
Eh its the first one that came to mind, I thought it was suiting. A poor analogy would've been: its like taking candy from a slightly retarded baby. I guess its all about perception.
sharpe...ugly girl with shit cloths goes to bad area looking for danger and excitement...dull night
pretty girl with hot clothes? better no better then to go looking for troble in the wrong place.
you could get raped anywhere if you are attractive...even if you are unattacractive...its just less likely.
and if your in a crowded place...it could still happen, and does all the time.
if your attractive in a bad place AND its not crowded...ITS GOING to happen...this is not blaming the victim...they are a victim of their own stupidity. and should blame themself. of course there are extreme cases where my examples dont mean shit,,,so to sum it all up
if i park my shitty fucking Volvo in a ghetto...im not sure if someone will try to steal it...but i bet they would try if they got the chance
IF I BRING MY MERCEDES TO THE GHETTO...THAT CAR IS GETTING JACKED...DONT BRING UR MERCEDES TO A FUCKING GHETTO.
Thank you for teaching me life lessons Plumbo.

I literally JUST posted a topic about chadzia being too powerful. Glad to know I'm not the only one kinda scared that almost half the fiefs are grey.
No, really, I don't think world superpowers are good when you guys are having issues with losing players/not getting new ones. The old ones eventually just give up and quit when a faction takes over their land, and new players like me get super intimmidated when they see just how mega-wildly-super-powerful and organized some factions are. Its like join them or die... Or make another large faction like beserks but you'll still die. It really leaves no room for others wanting to start new factions.
But oh well, it is what it is. I'll just have to be a nomad and evade the authorities :lol:
3) HCE likes to have a set of 'gentleman's rules' in place. No raiding, no bad battle times, etc... and yet, the moment someone comes along and pokes them in the eye, they immediately move to steam roll. Sorry, but you guys get the hypocrite award for the year. And yes, I say year, because the map should have been reset in 2014, and all the transgressions from 2014 are dated at this point.
I literally JUST posted a topic about chadzia being too powerful. Glad to know I'm not the only one kinda scared that almost half the fiefs are grey.Again you still dont know how we were formed. Please do research instead of just assuming.

Whats the point of owning half the world if you don't even have wars... I mean, I guess if thats your idea of fun, but I think its kinda lame to just own half the world for no reason really. But my point still remains. And no, I'm not saying you SHOULD beat other factions into the dust just because you can for fun. :rolleyes:
And anyways, as the great poet Tyrion Lannister once said: "The powerful always prey on the weak, that's how they became powerful in the first place."
We became powerful because the weak joined together.
And by weak, you mean three of the larger factions on the map?

What do you mean? When we formed Acre and Merchants of Curaw only had a few fiefs, and we were just done getting our arses destroyed by WoTN, and LL declared war right after we surrendered to WoTN. We may have had many fiefs, but we were not strong.

So basically HCE was formed by a handful of weak, collapsing, chaotic factions that were trying to survive wars on multiple fronts, including from allies. So you banded together and raised massive armies and equipment and fended off the attackers and now play more of a defensive game to protect the land you have so valiantly fought to protect. Amiright?
I respect that. :)
Actually most their fiefs they raided or just took without a fight. Not Valiantly. And even after being beat, each of the three factions that joined together were in the top 5 strongest factions easily. Not to mention they were all pretty much working together anyway. So not much changed.
Oh, so its more like the axis powers of WW2. Unfourtanately, I'm not a chocolate chip cookie, so I don't really respect that as much :lol:
EDIT: Apparently the world "N*zi" is changed to chocolate chip cookie :lol:
Couple words on the forum like that.
Honestly, the Berserks and me don't mind much about being wiped like we were, we'll get back up and try again. I just personally find all this shit the HCE is spouting to be so god damn stupid, don't play the good guy when you're playing the same game and just as low. (Which I don't consider low at all, just part of the game)
>>We stopped being dick head wannabes who thought winning was the point of the game.<<
Lot of words. Point of this entire thread:
Wiping anyone off the map, at this point in the game, is something a dick head wannabe would do. Sending them all straight to EU at the earliest convenience, is something a dick head wannabe would do.
Once upon a time, the Starks attacked a fief they thought no one would miss. They didn't declare war, or do anything of the sort, and defenders showed up because it wasn't done 'right.' The peasant defenders wiped out an army of 800 plus. In the waning moments, the Starks whined up a storm. "How could you do this to me?" The victor, rather than be a complete dick, actually turned around and gave them back all the gear that was attained from that fight. You'd think that that kind of compassion, might be returned, because they were providing something for the community...
But apparently, that lesson wasn't learned.
Wait when did that happen? When did House Stark ever even have an 800 man army? I'm confused.
Edit: also this is pretty hilarious coming from the person who was demanding land and stuff from the HCE and then the second my army rolls up outside your castle you start begging Bryggan to not attack you(I wasn't going to anyways).
DId you mean Tilbaut? Or Moonshines little castle?
Moonshines castle, not yours
I don't think anyone would enjoy attacking Tilbaut. Just to hard(especially with the LOW low rosters.) WOTN tried and it was like 10 v 15. Was so, so boring. I do miss the old Squid sieges we had.
No ones talking about trying to siege Tilbaut. And recent sieges have had ~30 players on both sides so thats not very low rosters.

But the HCE has no intention of attacking Astralis. Despite their constant rostering against us, I consider them friends. The steam conversation I had with Moonshine, which was done completely in RP, was just a bit of pissing about which I mistakenly took seriously.

Everybody keeps saying nostalgic stuff like this. Why aren't the battles now just as fun? There is still 20-30 ppl on either side in the battles i've fought so far.

I was at that WoTN siege at Tilbault. Found the perfect spot for a catapult, and made it safe from ranged. Then someone drove a siege tower in front of me, and once that was clear I got about 2 shots at the castle before the defenders sallied out and easily destroyed it. Since then I've dreamed of taking the impregnable Tilbault.
I'll give you a battle link so you can see what I mean.
Fun:

Versus the "last days" of strat:
http://c-rpg.net/index.php?page=strategusbattlesarchive#!?page=strategusinfobattledetail&id=3248
Jesus Christ. I now see why recent battles seem a bit dull to you veterans. Although they still are fun IMO :)
They still don't compare to past strat battles where you actually had people competing for slots on the roster, where you had to sign up early and be in ts or you'd lose your slot, or you did anyway because a good player signed up and took your place. Those were the good times.
Yeah that is actually true. There was a point where it was hard for myself and Axeman to get into battles early in our strat careers. I think we will see rosters get back up to 40v40 easily for good strat battles in na this summer. These tournaments are gonna bring in a lot of players new and old for sure!
Darn, summer is the one time of year I can't play warband because I go to CO for 2 months.... and I don't have a portable laptop :cry:
Oh well, hopefully some of those players stick around long enough for me to encounter them next winter :D

Idiocy knows no bounds. Bryggan told me the day of the RP, 'don't attack or declare war for at least a few days..' I obliged.
Saw your army moving out of the Eastern plateau, and asked Bryggan what was up. He said you were going for Mazigh, and not the castle. Again, not a big deal. The ONLY reason I wanted to know was so that I could PREP the castle if you were going to attack, especially since no formal declaration had been made. Then, you show up at the castle's doorstep. Things that make you go hmm. Given your history, I wouldn't put it past you.
Hence forward, Moonshine is now a member of Bootleggers. The Bootleggers hereby declare war upon the HCE. You want that castle? Go for it. It's undefended. Should bring back some nostalgia for ya. Stark prowess, at it's finest.
You've owned the castle for how long and it has no gear? And you are calling me an idiot?
Probably cause I horded all the gear for astralis. I'm a Greedy Jew. :twisted:
LOL wow well at least hes honest :lol:

There is no such thing as an honest jew.
Come on sharpe, haven't you been crutching that meme a bit too much lately.
As much as you crutch on str bruh.Shots fired
