So the call rang...

[Duster]

Occitan is the one faction in strategus that has a serious set of ideals and sticks to them. You all fault them for standing by their allies and never backing down no matter how many factions stack up, but I applaud them. Good for you occitan, I don't even know why you all respond to the haters.

EDIT: Can we all agree to quit quoting one faction's website member count and then comparing it to how many "active" members you have? It's getting old.

[Turboflex]

Turbo, shit happens... it happened to us as a smaller faction than your 11 man. Enjoy the xp while it lasts.

We'll survive. I think it's just hilarious he is saying it was some kind of unavoidable mistake, like some kind of act of god this predicament of being at war against FCC & Fimbulvetr when both were preventable and completely due to their own aggressive actions and were completely preventable through better diplomacy. They have lost over 10k HP/occitan troops the past month on Fimbulvetr/FCC soil when they had no good reason to be there and they expected a VE attack in the desert so now these missing armies that probably should have been in the desert defending their homelands against VE are gone and they have 2 extra enemies.

Uhhhh, not really.  beating up on a 10-man faction not really following a "set of ideals."  Just because they say it a lot doesn't mean its actually true.  Anyway should be some good fights.

Fimbulvetr has 37 members.

[partyboy]

It's really best to kick inactive members out of the faction because this always happens.

Fimbulvetr has 37 members.

You're forgetting that Frisia was attacked while our enemies were under the pretense that we were a neutral faction not in the Fimbulvetr alliance.

[Haramir]

We are at war with NH because they stand up for their ally Frisia.  We have a lot of respect for the NH for keeping their word and it is all in their honor.  It was 60 Les chevaliers Occitans vs 37 Fimbulvetr and you were on defense so it was fair game and the battle we had were enjoyable with much xp and this is the only reason we kept pushing.   But you are right Turboflex we should talk together sometime on TS.

"OCCITAN / HERO PARTY ALLIANCE: Trust us, that 10 man NH faction, 10 man absolutely poor and new-founded Frisian faction, and that few man Dracul faction are definitely superior to our might."

Are you my old friendlords serious?

Yeah, we have 2 active strat members, maybe 3 on the few days I feel like doing shit in strat, but that's a rare occurence.

EDIT: Can we all agree to quit quoting one faction's website member count and then comparing it to how many "active" members you have? It's getting old.

Hmmm, nah. I like it. 

But honestly I could care less about any strat drama. I'm just enjoying these battles. They got me to 33 and I retired and now I'm almost back to 30 already with their aid. Keep the drama going, keep my levels flowing.

you moved into a fief that had been taken from a HP ally less than a week prior and that's why the fief got attacked -  that's not an "attack" because at that point you're like a squatter attempting an adverse possession

if i took that castle from you, gave it to whatever KUTT is calling themselves now, would you consider the matter settled and let KUTT hold onto it?

[Turboflex]

Fimbulvetr has 37 members.

It's been all NH assets so far involved, Frisia is a new faction with Sandersson's crew and some ex-KUTT guys so  had very little resources to start, and what they little they did have had to respond to Teutonic's backstab in the north. Dracul has like 2 active guys.

Going forward Fimbulventr will be stronger and represent that new size but right now this is the resources of a dozen people against 95.

Obviously HP/Occitan have 99 other problems but it was their choice to engage this one.

I think that would be quite ironic and comedic considering Tanken is now in Frisia.

WE FRISIA NOW.

I reckon the time for diplomacy and forum-wars has ended. I can keyboard forum-warrior with the best of them, but I don't think this is the time for that. The sides have been picked and all that's left is to try and synthesize new tactics for the battles, new strategies for strategus, and fight this dang-ole war.

Also respect to our nordic friends for carrying us on their sizable backs recently. We'll not forget nor fail to repay them for holding steadfast over there. It's tough to get a war-machine going from near scratch, but it can get done quickly if you've got a few good nerds.

"OCCITAN / HERO PARTY ALLIANCE: Trust us, that 10 man NH faction, 10 man absolutely poor and new-founded Frisian faction, and that few man Dracul faction are definitely superior to our might."

To be fair, it is probably even as we have seen Hero Party get stuck in a month long war with a faction that had 3-4 freedom fighters before needing a bailout.

You can say what you want about Occitan, but they do stick by their friends/allies even if it means them going down. Les points bonus pour l'Occitan!

[KaMiKaZe_JoE]

That sounds like a great motto for almost anything.

"A few good nerds."

Put it on the edges of coins, or emblazon it on the banners of medieval armies. It's beautiful.
