I have to spend 10x as much time to fill a roster as your "alliance", going to all the teamspeaks asking desperately for people to sign up.  While all your guys just hire late and easily fill roster with top quality mercs - so yes it is a short roster that takes far more effort to even get all 51 slots full often with low levels and high pings.  All you have to do is get your alliance to sign up and you have a comp[letely full roster - i have to steam or pm many of the independet mercs to be able to get the same roster full - so yes, you have it easy with your grand alliance of NA UIF.

Kesh, the only Independent Mercs right now are...countable on 1 finger.

Sadly, most people now have Sign up for X,Y,Z and not W mentalities now.

ANyways, I signed up for the wovles, but I'm involved on FCC's side in the NA battle 50 minutes later.

Actually there are a signifcant number of independent mercs - they dont play strategus except for strat battles - many don't have characters on strategus and have to be reminded a strat battle is even taking place.  it takes a lot of work individually contacting each and every one of them instead of just contacting your clan ally and have a dozen guys sing up.

That does not explain why you can hire so many of your own faction members on a regular basis where only one of the factions you're at war with (not counting Chevaliers/Occitan, who are not actively aggressive against you and who seem to have the smallest window of availability) are capable of hiring on a similar number just from their own ranks, and even then with less apparent regularity. You call a bunch of unrelated clans who're all separately at war with you an alliance, but your faction has absorbed at least two other clans that gave up owning their holdings under a unique name - if you say you have to go to other teamspeaks to contact them, at least they have the benefit of seeing the faction they are part of on the battles list.

Don't act like you're doing more ten times more work just because you have the gall to belittle people in their own teamspeak channels for signing up against after you've already tried to get them to merc for your side. You have a larger group of players, and the one group even larger than yours has already stated they're signing up on your behalf more often than not. Two of the largest merc pools on NA are with you. We're trying to fill the same number of slots using far more disparate groups of people coming from less consolidated places.  The notion that you alone have to rely on independent mercs is ridiculous. You are not working harder to acquire mercenaries.

Furthermore, my clan and the only clan we're actually allied to*, FIDLGB, have only been able manage a "completely full roster" one time in the last month with people who showed up, and most often we're not even lucky enough to get a name into every slot, let alone have them show. This "grand alliance" theory of yours does not hold water because there is no grand alliance.

lets not go wrecking this thread with unnecessary NA drama  :|

It wouldn't be such a problem if he didn't try to pick fights with people and lie so often.



As for the EU battle: I hope that you guys can get as full a roster as you can manage, I hope that your enemies can get the same, and I will try to get people to sign up for the fight if you need some players who in all likelihood won't remain in the fight to see the end.

Welll, that was short-lived.  Its not like you have to merc for hospitallers especially since we are usually short on mercs thanks to you joining the bandwagon of most of na rather than fight someone who isnt fighting 6 other factions, never see you offer to merc for us now that we are short-handed in a number of our battles.  Unless of course you are now occitan's bitch (had to back down from fighting them after they just took your fiefs away and instead kiss arrowaine's ass and thank him for taking your fiefs away) and are allied with hospitallers so have to show up, even though "kingrimm taught you so much" and we taught you "nothing".

Hey Kesh, why do you find it so hard to NOT be an insufferable cunt? Take your shit-flinging out of other people's threads for fuck sake you cock-gobbling slut.

Honestly, why do you take the time to make these retarded posts you buttpummeled cuntbag? There is no audience that has ever, even once found your posts in that style funny or useful.

Get a job or something you anally annihilated assmaster.

Wow, it is true - some people were laughing in our ts about the main reason you attacked us was that canary was super butthurt about one incident  almost 4 months ago - just took him that long in his passive-aggressiveness to act upon it.  i laughed didn't think you were that sad and spegtastic, but unbelievably enough its true.

Because of course your posts obviously add so much to the community.  :lol: :wink:

You mean the time you came into our teamspeak when I was signed up against you for some morning battle and you tried to guilt-trip me about having given you my solemn promise the night before that I would show up on your side despite saying something non-committal like "I'll try to see if I can make it"? And how Xol started chewing you out incessantly about being a piece of shit that sucks the fun out of the game and you left without saying anything else?

Seems like everyone had a pretty good laugh about that, then!


However, only one of the two of us tries to run our respective clan at the dictation of our flighty, petulant will. Mine does not labor under the delusion that we operate on a council-based decision-making system when it is clearly not the case, and yet I still put the opinions of my clanmates on the direction of our strat faction ahead of mine to a large degree.

If I were you, I wouldn't go brandishing words like "it's true" when speaking about things like this, but then I guess it doesn't matter when you've never let the truth get in your way of saying anything before.




Whoops, I missed rollcall! Looks like both sides filled up without me, though, so hopefully no harm done?

With that statement I believe you are calling more than kesh a liar.

I have not said much recently but I will not sit idle and allow that. FCC is run by all. Kesh's has his say and can get his way often but his word is worth no more than anyone else in the clan. He puts the most time in and others not as committed generally are just happy to fight and be told what to do.

Others, myself included, are involved with just about every major decision. Kesh is no dictator. He is a friend and works hard to make FCC successful, but he does not do it alone and never just orders us about like you are implying. If that were the case I would have left a long time ago.

You're not very good at reading, Keshian. My posts are at least funny. That's why I get green and you just get red for posting things that are indiscriminately unfunny AND pointless. There's a series of books for reading that I would like to suggest to you, the "I Can Read" series. I believe they would help your development.
