Partyboy took over LLJK in the name of BIRD CLAN as a last attempt to avoid a war with Hero Party. It was hoped that by dismantling LLJK, Smoothrich would no longer want to go to war.
He obviously still did, knowing full well the ramifications of attacking BIRD CLAN fiefs. His reasons for going to war with LLJK (to remove me from power) having been completed he continued to march armies across the desert just looking to start a fight.
You're saying that as though he did something wrong. As I understand it, the point of Strategus is to provide a framework for good battles and amusing drama. The boring micromanagement and Oregon Trail: Calradia parts are not the focus of it, regardless of the fact that they unfortunately take up so much of everyone's time and attention. Where am I going with this?
I'm pretty sure Smoothrich's main reason for going to war had less to do with someone who barely even plays the game these days (I've seen you on NA1 maybe twice in the past three weeks?) and more to do with the fact that he actually wanted to have a war with a faction around the same size as his own, rather than playing farmville until someone decided to invade him again. This is why I think it's pretty lame that, from my perspective, your response to this was to try and do everything in your ability except actually fight and then accept help from an NA superpower when they decided to call your bluff.
Why didn't you and the rest of your crew just channel your inner Goonfleet and take him on by yourselves?
