Andswaru KARMA is a bitch is it not ?
Not to long ago you yourself and your fellow Nords celebrated a victory over Mercs due to a bug in strategus (Pause for 1h+ look at muffins story)
But the truth is that if strat was not paused your hole army would have been ours.
Did you see a Merc whining post demanding shit back? nahh u didn't.
And after you screwed SoA over and even broken your word then you actually believe they to deliver you back the stuff they won ?
