Holy shit, so i guess we missed the due date by a day. Not like i had told you lot to remind me, in case i forgot. Which is what people with half a brain do. They communicate, not flip out, throw hissy fits and attack in the fucking morning.
Some facts:
- The entirety of the deal is here, in this thread.
- We had no intention of breaking the deal, i was actually spending the previous few days gathering the troops needed to complete our part of the deal.
- "You give away your last fief, that we have let you hold from start of strategus." - this confirms what i've suspected for the last few days, you expected us to act as a meatshield for you against the UIF. We are not OK with that.
- We didn't sell it. We had no chance of holding the fief, nor any intention of trying. We didn't want to waste any more resources, fighting against an enemy, that is geared in full lordly gear, because you guys fail at fighting UIF. We were going to leave it, but multiple "shiny" grey armies showed up before we could make our retreat (Never trust Olwen to manage a fief, still had stuff inside it -_-). So we negotiated for our retreat. The Greys held their word, unlike some.
- I wrote it at least once here, and so did Olwen, that i was planning to uphold the deal, yesterday.
- More below:
Hello. You broke the deal.
1) 2 weeks passed yesterday and we didn't get our troops.
2) You gave away your fief to UIF.
Also, accusing Mercs not in fighting UIF is stupid while we fought against Nords (and Nords are official part of UIF since ages if you didn't know, whatever they say), Grey Order (Grey Order lost 1000-1500 men against Mercenaries in battles. Like 750 in direct fight and ~750 reinforcing Nords), Union lost like 800 in direct fights against Mercenaries, and Nords lost like 5k in direct fights. We don't count SoA, Deserters, bandits or any other indirect fights when we (and personally I) organized. Also, we've wasted 8k of S&D in Union territory and like 15k of S&D in the Nord territory during the war. I also personally suggested you gear and troops if you wanted to be offensive against UIF in Dhirim/Halmar area since Dhirim was not supposed to be offensive battle field, only for defence. You refused and Olwen kept threatening with UIF. So what you have now is what you deserve. You should have kicked Olwen from the faction, I even suggested you reward for that. I don't mind helping other members from your faction (Barabe are good guys and friends of mine, also a lot of others: Byzantium i.e.). I'm not going to post in Diplomacy thread since as I don't see any sense in that. I told you what you would face if you take Reindi from us, we could at least defend it from UIF inlike you, giving it without fight.
P.S. I never liked the way you play Strat. Bluffing, shantage and being hypocrite is something that I don't like in diplomacy, we all knew that you would attack us if you had any possibility, we didn't even need your internal information for that. Also we don't want Olwen even close to our territory. He is the biggest mistake of your faction. When all the members in Dhirim area were willing to attack him first - it's not okay.
- You have no business telling us who we should have in our faction or not. Am i telling you to boot Gingerpussy out of your faction, because he manages to antagonise anyone that comes into contact with him?
- You have no business telling us what we should do with our fiefs.
- I will gather up some statistics about the troops we have killed and troops we have lost to either side later
- For the P.S. - Right back at you, buddy.
Well Mercs had a army deep in nords/grey area and fight alot there.
Second the day the UIF attacked UDN then i was there fighting every single battle. I even had to lead a few.
So chill down and get facts straight.
And it was that day i see the total incompetence of UDN , he was away didn't fight at all. and ptx in 1 battle or might been two.
Then they asked for shelter i gave them that even tho UIF had promised UDN Dhirim area. And he posted so on this forum.
Then they asked for GOLD to equip there unarmed troops. Of course this was not acceptable for us to give them gold to equip when they move from UIF to anti UIF in a heartbeat every now and then.So yeah i see that Mercs are the big bad wolf again.
I was fighting there, fighting on every battle. Your idea of leading a few (e.g. Reindi Castle) involved ignoring/outshouting my orders on TS and getting a number of people with valuable gear rushing out of the castle to get killed in the open by better armored UIF troops. Sadly, we do not have admin for our temporary Nditions channel.
By your incompetence, however, i mean the actual strategic part. Look at the strategus map, zoomed all the way out. Do you still not see it?
We didn't ask for shelter in Dhirim, you offered it, we had Tosdhar, however.
Yes, i posted something on this forum, regarding their offers of Dhirim. Go back and read what i wrote.
Yes, i guess someone did go around asking factions for possible donations to equip our troops.
UIF to Anti-UIF in a heartbeat? I'm sorry, but WHAT!?
--edit: I forgot something: Since we are dragging skeletons out of closets now:
Got approached by the mercs, Dave and Ginger. They have a deal for us. I dont see why we should agree but perhaps some of u can see the point. Here it goes:
They ask if we want to take over the whole Dhirim area. 5 fiefs including Dhirim and Senuzdga castle. All equipment, all armies (1000 heavy), all inclusive. They want us to come up with an offer. We owe them 700 troops if I understand it correctly for Reindi Castle already. And they ask for Heirloom points if I understood them correctly. I asked for a specific list of whats included, but they didnt seem very cooperative on this matter.
They wanted a fast answer, as they have others that are interessted (caresalesman talk, hahahahah). Preferably tonight.
Well there it is, I think they are leaving center because they have no chance of protecting it against UIF, and we havent either in my book. So buying this would not be wise. Take it to scype and discuss it there if u like.
Anyone has anything to say about this, shoot!
GRANNY
Easily the most pathethic pile of crap i've ever been offered. And you guys still have the shamelessness to accuse of something, that we are endangering you by losing a single village?
