We had just killed 12000 of them and only lost 1 village, and still had thousands of troops left ourselves. Who is running the spin machine then?
Conspicuously absent is the number of losses your own alliance suffered. Who is running the spin machine? I think we all know the answer to that. Pretending you had the upper hand in the Merc war when you were about to be destroyed, laughable...Yeah, I'm sure the only reason you accepted the peace treaty is cause CHAOS pushed you into it, otherwise FCC would have obliterated Mercs lolol.
Darkkarmma has it right, Mercs had no idea how many troops CHAOS could bring to the table, if they had known that 9k was it they probably would have continued the war. And their players mostly all have a good reputation on NA servers has far as skill goes, that was also a consideration. They saved your ass, but clearly you're too arrogant/dishonest to recognize it. Would have enjoyed seeing the war play out to it's inevitable conclusion, but you would probably just have blamed something else for the loss. "No fair they bought troops from other clans with gold and promises, boohoo!". I guess it's suave diplomacy when FCC gathers a zerg of miniclans as henchmen, but when others apply diplomacy it's somehow dishonorable cheating right XD.
