yes if you look at it that way, but then again all the gold/fief ownerships/power structures will be wiped soon and the next strat will be wiped also, and the next, and the next, and the next. These pixels all go away, nothing is real, and tomorrow never comes.
BUT, for a clan trying to maintain its respect and the ability to say it wasn't wiped; my stuff will be the game-changer and keep some fief owners from the disgrace of being ran off of the map. Nothing worse for morale than rolling over and playing dead; because a wipe is always imminent. Being able to fight right to the end shows a clan's pride and maintains members...members who will leave if they don't feel their clan is brave enough to fight, or strong enough to stand their ground, or too shy to pick a side. Clan officers want to keep their fiefs for the benefits,exp, notoriety, etc; clan members want to fight!!!
And if not, well then it will supply me with a lot of fun here soon
But for those feeling nervous about the incoming wipe (which has been incoming for months now) I will do a 2:1 split if and only if I am repaid my half within the first three weeks of next strat, and I am given full credit for my equipment. If you want to do the 1:1 you have the first 8 weeks to repay.
