They have 20 members, HoC has 19.... Not really a mega faction if they only have one more member lol
we have at least 7 AFK hounds
Ah the no we have more AFK's argument. This is really getting good. Next someone imply the otherside is secretly receiving EU silver in a deal organized by Kesh.
Ya our faction got bigger when we recruited more members pretty shocking i know
Pretty sure sJimmy brought up faction size first by saying the other side was a megafaction (implying they are a way bigger faction than anyone else).
Also, gotta love taking quotes out of context several months after they were stated. Ya our faction got bigger when we recruited more members pretty shocking i know
gotta love how people are still taking strat personnel
Calling people a megafaction is hardly the same as bringing up actual member counts. It's the same reason we're called carebears - typical strat propaganda, not even based on reality. Nothing new to see here.
And even when you guys were "small" you had about as many active members as the rest of us.

I used to consistently deal in reality and explain casus belli (not in those exact terms) using facts, not opinions. And it would still always get turned into some propaganda bullshit by each side. Doesn't matter what people say.
To others in Acre, Occitan and Pinks, regardless of whatever official or secret political deals you guys have with eachother, the rosters don't lie. I don't care who "wins" this war, but lets just have an honest one for crying out loud. Do you're worst, but don't pretend that you are some how fighting some mega-faction or that the odds are exactly even.
Just because people dont sign up for strat battles doesn't mean they don't have an impact ingame. They can be troop farmers like I know you guys have multiple of cuz I'm in your discord and you've talked about it multiple times in general chat or they can just be trading and making you silver which I know you guys have because I'm in your discord and you've talked about it multiple times in group chat.
If they are truly AFK and inactive, why not boot them out of your faction? Your guys allies The Clan and the potatoes each can pull 7 to 10 mercs as well so don't act like things are super aligned against you.
ALSO also, I don't see the point in being aggressive towards people (Pinks and Acre) and then being mad that they are signing for your enemies. Its kind of how strategus has always worked.
Double check the guy who made this thread chief, no one is complaining about megafactions but you guys

I mean, you can loose the work of a lot of afk ticket farmers pretty quickly with an early flag cap. And I'm guessing we aren't the only ones who have a few people to farm tickets, are who aren't super interested in strat proper?
Again, rosters don't lie. Even with the commendable efforts of the potatoes and Clan. In all truth, there aren't really any megafactions, not by the standards of previous strats. The side that is just more organized and slightly more numerous is you guys. Which is fine. Just own it. Win the war, or don't, its fine. Just don't pretend we are the carebears in this situation. We are fine fighting all you guys to the death. Or at least I am. Lets just have a honest war without the pretense.
to be fair when my little ragtag group of myself sugar albus and ephemeral started attacking you guys just to get shit poppin on strat, some hoc guys mercilessly spammed a lot of big mercs on steam begging them to merc for hoc and not me, so the most i could do was convince a lot of them to just not show up instead of fighting against me just to try and get us outmercced by maybe 10 at most instead of 15. so now that we are getting a slight merc advantage i think everyone should just count their blessings and have fun and thank the lord jesus that crpg is alive after 8 years1!!
And please try not to take a drunken shitpost so seriously.

So lets just cut the crap. I am sure if I looked at the rosters in detail, we'd see that there are 4 factions that can field somewhere between 7-10 fighters with some regularity. 3 of those factions are allied (or at least mercing together) against 1. Yes, in the early days there were some battles where HoC had a merc advantage. But its not the merc advantage that bothers me so much as dishonesty in trying to say that its a fairly evening fight as things stand now. It's not. and actually, thats fine. Its a war game, you have an advantage you use it. But its the virtue signaling and hypocrisy, aside from the normal shit-posting, that gets people to stop caring about this game.
So please, Tristran. Talk to me about about faction size.
I'd also like to just give a shout out to the various smaller factions, afk'ers, and other rag-tag assortment of warriors who have merced for HoC and made from some pretty decent battles afterall.

The second part is just pure bullshit. When tristan said that, it was around the time of the acre vs hoc war. We had a total of 7 members only 5 which were active. The other 2 just moved around on strat occasionally. You had much more members than us at that point. We only recently gained more members with members of CC coming back and thryn/sitvek joining us.
???? Calling someone a mega faction is all because they have many members.
Calling each other carebears is just as you said stupid propaganda.
I'm not the one downvoting people
If you think we ever had much more than 5-7 active members, you're sorely mistaken. Hence, why Tristan bringing up the actual faction numbers argument is just boring.
Nah, those two terms are basically interchangable and both stupid propaganda.
I'm the one downvoting low-effort memes, and that is all you've contributed thus far. Step it up, this ain't 2016 anymore.
The past battles when you fought against Acre would say otherwise. Thalion brought this up so i will be using it. Battle numbers dont lie. You guys had double our numbers in early days of strat. It is the current stage where every faction is fairly even.
"Low effort memes" Look at the op, "hurr durr i was drunk" doesn't excuse that. I don't see you downvoting that just statements you disagree with.
Well it depends on how you define "active" in strat. We've always had more mercs than we have had anyone that does things on the website. I was talking about people actually active in the strat part of strat, not the battles part.
Those guys can be troop farmers for all i know, i consider those active members. Despite what zeus said earlier your faction isnt the only one with AFK members.
Exactly, which is why I downvoted he who started this argument. It never goes anywhere other than in circles of pointing fingers and saying "nuh uh, we have more afks than you!" as james pointed out. There is no way for me to actively monitor the activity of the members in any faction other than my own, except for any people I personally see moving nearby in strat. Same goes for every other faction too, obviously.

The truth of the matter is both sides are split into blocks with maybe the sole exception of Acre(they sign for both sides and have expressed desire to come and retake slezkh).
....
We have actually attacked Acre and taken one of their fiefs.
i stopped reading once the age-old afk member contest started but i just want to say that i'm more afk than any of you hounds and i've got the missed battles to prove it
Is strat a thing again? 8-)It sure is. Some good battles lately you should drop by.

Want to join my megafaction?

what if nobody is a megafaction, and this is just the natural course of strategus turning into one coalition vs another because that's the only way it can actually be remotely even with the current playerbase?nope not possible

Well the main issue is the anti-anticarebear alliance would need at some 80+ applicants to properly weed out all the mercs that either don't show up in discord, don't follow commander chat-issued orders, don't fight as a team, or all of the above. Player skill isn't even half the problem at this point.
