Xmas day attacks!

[Nebun]

I think you are now blaming the mercs for not rolling over and die by keeping the bug-won-gear and thus delay their demise. You would do the same if you were cornered by 3 major clans...
Just be patient, you will route them off the map, just don't do it on Christmas...

No Lepintoi.

[MountedRhader]

Actually, you can. It is called common sense and decency. Still not quite extinct in the modern world, y'know.

No it is not quite snuffed out yet. Just not yet.

This should be expected though from DRZ, as they have a history of being archers, a dick move in itself.

One thing is certain: It's certainly extinct (or never existed) in Russia.

My advice is just drop Strategus and cRPG all together and brave the real world, as it is much more fulfilling for your social cravings than sitting in front of a screen in a dark room (I am speaking from experience.)

Well gentlemen, I'm off to spend the day with my family, Merry Christmas!

[Lepintoi]

If you using christmas hols as safe time to move around the map or move reinforcements - this is not going to work.
Why didn't you just stay in HRE village over holidays?

Because the rent is just too damn high!

[Overdriven]

Well not to bad a result considering:

Druzhina_Archer_KMC vs GK_Lorenzo_of_Numidia

- Battle duration: 08m40s
- Army size: 259 vs 150

- Winner: Attacker

[22nd_King_Plazek]

I agree 100% with the sentiments expressed by the OP and the crying mercs, it is clearly wrong to play a game when you want to play it. However I also feel it is immoral not to support all countries and all world religions equally, thus I suggest in the spirit of equality, fairness and Christmas spirit this movement for greater sportsmanship and super fun times.

I hereby demand that all national holidays around the world cause strategus to become frozen and or attacks to auto lose in the event of them being made.

Please refer to this list of national holidays around the globe:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_holidays_by_country

I also demand that all religious holidays be recognised and offered the same protection:

Clearly attacking anyone during any of these important days is unsportsmanlike and so should be prohibited!

[Nebun]

Don't forget we got our own huge list of holidays and also asian ) so there is a holiday everyday

[Elmokki]

For me the main Christmas holiday is 24th and I'm generally away from my proper gaming computer for at least a week, qq, make anything I would participate not happen during that.

Seriously, sure, it's kind of foul play to attack another group of players that has a big holiday when you don't, but such is life. If you want to start taking into account times when considerable amounts of playerbase have big holidays you'll have a huge list of stuff like that. Midsummer is big thing in Finland and probably some other European countries. Thanksgiving is big in the US (and Canada, no clue?) but isn't celebarated in Europe.

Easiest way to deal with this is to either a) prepare for things like this with a diverse playerbase (even if current NA-EU split makes having a clan with both continents represented worse than before) b) just strike those who do this on their holidays. The Orthodox holidays follow Julian calendar while most of Europe and US follow Gregorian calendar so the (religious) holidays tend to be on different dates anyway.

[Turkhammer]

All the big clans are just going to have to have a duty roster to cover all contingencies.  The junior guys get Christmas and holidays.  Sux to play strat 24/7/365.

[kura]

If you attack me/us/my/our clan/etc and i/we/my cat/etc will be drunk/nirvana/fuck this/resort/funeral/etc its my problem,not yours.
