Well scratch that...then if Jordach is there, they should have had him transfer to them by one or the other joining the same faction...
Can't say why it was done differently (I wasn't there yesterday), but I'd assume because Jordach hasn't been around in teamspeak for a week or more.
I personally don't care one way or another, getting very disenfranchised with strategus bugs not being fixed, and the issue with retreating needs to be straightened out. How can an attacker in a siege "retreat" and lose 100% of the men, but not gear? It's not like you would surrender when you're attacking a castle and run out of ladders, you'd turn your army around and head back home.
Astralis may be trying to reinforce the village before their battle happens, but the Hospitaller's aren't sending reinforcements, so the theory that we did this to delay an attack is flawed (since we have no reinforcements coming). Good thing in order to defend ourselves, I had to publicly state valuable tactical information.
