Most of you are complaining because we're been more successful at this game than you. Its called "strategus." Perhaps you should consider rethinking your strategies and maybe you'll do as well as we do at it.
No. Most people are complaining about your conceit in that supposed success; about how anytime one of your flaws gets pointed out you're quick to back it up with rhetoric based on your large membership and how you own more territory because of it. Well, duh.
At least smooth had the gall to accuse us of cheating rather than being like the majority of you and saying "Hospitallers are OP, we better nerf them."
Not sure anybody's actually calling for nerfs. People just get upset when the goal of certain clans is
not to have a fun time playing the game, and in the process ruin it for the rest of us.
So Chaos lost all its territory because we didn't want to kowtow to the "carebear alliance"(ironically a term you used against us when we had the Green Machine going) that entailed
100% of the NA territories never fighting each other ever again. I'm not sorry that we prefer fighting on NA ping to being allied with everyone here. I'm not sorry that we lost our fiefs, because we actually got the opportunity to fight in the process, which was worth more than any losses it resulted in.
edit: Forgot to mention, I'm also extremely not sorry that we signed 10 players up to defend a neutral fief which was enough to get you to start a war that has, so far, lost you more resources than the entire defense of said fief had done. I mean seriously people, this is basic stuff. You've got no real reason to bitch about us.
Yes, we do. Your membership has been nothing but wretched and angry about having any opposition to whatever cause you try to force onto people. You've been vitriolic and mean-spirited to the point where you've dismissed or misunderstood everything we've said or done.
I suppose though that everyone does need a punching bag. I just really hope that the majority of you are wise enough to recognize that instead of creating all these conspiracy theories to justify your own losses. We've done better than you at the game. As soon as you accept that flaw, the sooner you'll have a chance of fixing it.
You've recruited more people than we have and made more allies. If you want me to agree that having the majority of players allied against a minority that's already been set back by various circumstances is the definition of success, well, okay, you won. Don't act like you earned it on equal terms, though. Throughout all the wars we've fought, you really did not outplay us.
Disclaimer: I'm not trying to be a dick or talk down to anyone here. I'm just trying to share my observations. Aristotle once said, "The mark of intellect is being able to entertain a thought without necessarily accepting it" or something like that.
Aristotle also said "
Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them."
So get off your high horse.
