They certainly proved to be effective allies!
Occitan have been the best allies any of us could ask for, and most of our clan members are willing to fight until our last army to make a stand with Occitan and take on insurmountable odds. Some others are more afraid of losing internet land and fighting to hold it so they betray the faction and leave for their selfish internet horseland goals. That's the price of taking on a mega-alliance and sticking with your allies whatever the odds.
I'd rather go down fighting with friends then leaving in the middle of a war that might go bad, and just about everyone who shows up to our battles and helps out the strat faction has enough fun to stick it out, the Semenstorm regulars, who aren't going anywhere. To others its just a facebook farmville game, and a bunch of people I tried to keep loosely organized (and generously offered land and help along with Occitan) so everyone could have fun are only interested enough in holding on to what they have for purple text or for roleplaying purposes or Dreams of Internet Power or whatever it is.
No hard feelings to people, but Hero Party can be officially referred to as Semenstorm now, and people unwilling to make the change are now Strategus enemies working to ensure Ss and Occitan lose against everyone else in NA and will be dealt with accordingly.
