Posting this in the general discussion area to help spread awareness as I feel off-topic might not generate the attention it deserves.
Uumdi and Kreczor have recently started a program where Kreczor buys games for Uumdi to review, and in exchange for every completed review, Kreczor will buy a microphone for a person of Uumdi's choosing. I'm creating this thread so that people can plead their case as to why they deserve/need a microphone and potentially find more sponsors.
Uumdi will play and review anything you gift him, from DIRT to trainz simulator 2012. Even if you don't feel like buying the game yourself, feel free to make a request. PM Uumdi or Kreczor for details on donations, feel free to leave microphone applications here.
I'm referring to the original "Greenmachine" war, which was instrumented by Smoothrich and I. I just can't believe the majority of your clan was never briefed about what actually happened surrounding that.
"Greenmachine" was blatant warmongering with a flimsy pretext to get people to shut up when we declared war on them. TKoV was slated as the original target, but we took pity on them because of Egad's untimely ban and a strat downtime before that which resulted in upkeep loses. After TKoV we were going to move on to Hospitan, that was always the plan when things were set in motion. Before that plan was constructed, however, the plan was to declare war on both the F.C.C and Hospitan at the same time before Braeden vanished on us and set us back a few months.
No more making shit up about what I planned for Greenmachine, please. I've said this all a few times before and talked too many people for it to not be all out there. I apologize though, I shouldn't have called you stupid.
We didn't ask them they suddenly attacked and we where like "wtf?"
When we asked them why, they said they wanted to kill off the greenfaction before they went over to EU to attack them. Since the war between hosp and greenmachine was pretty much over us not wanting to join the greenmachine to fight EU...

Are you stupid? I told Arowaine 2 months in advance that we were going to attack you guys so we'd have some fights on NA ping. Arowaine talked about possibly teaming up instead, but we said no. Get your facts straight. Alpha can verify this. He did everything he could to dissuade NA vs NA bloodshed, but we were just too bored.
Not that we ever talked to them about it. Fighting Union and DRZ was a load of fun.
Our only contact with UIF was a brief conversation with Nebun giving him a headsup that if we were successful on the NA side, we'd be looking for them to have something to do. DRZ, completely understandably so, didn't feel like waiting that long. What followed that was the only fun battles I've had all of strat 3 because Hospitan tended to bring too many trash players that didn't even care about handing us hundreds of huscarl shields because "they're templar gear, no skin off our back" and nobody would ever fucking fight in neutral towns.
You guys are all lame, boring, and still say crap Biggayviking got bored of in 2010. I hate every last one of you for being so goddamn boring. The guys doing these fucking half-assed trolls, and the droves of morons walking right into it - which just makes everything justified. Never hear anything like what Zealot and Phantom did to Aragorn last strat anymore. Just a bunch of people whining about bannerstacking and asking if I've heard about the pro-clan yet, or people bragging that they were invited or declined.
If Troyicide is unbanned, all it shows is taking a neutral fief/castle is as simple as having a few guys willing to take a few weeks break.
Uumdi and I aren't actively playing right now, should CHAOS attack Reyvadin so we can make use of our break and go on a TK rampage as Reyvadin defenders? It's only fair, right? Honestly, anyone banned for autoblocking that gets banned again for ANYTHING should be gone. Unbanning Troyicide would pretty much show that you can get away with anything as many times as you want.
If NA and EU are split in such a way that they can't interact, period, I'd be with strat. NA primetime battles are tough for me to attend, and DRZ was more fun to fight anyway. It pains me to agree with Plazek on this, but I'm still curious why you care? It's not like you deal with NA, or are you just afraid that Grey would win strat too quickly without us around to take up extra space while the smaller EU clans are destroyed?
