Understandable, yet, I would love to hear what the strategy was for this. Because right now I'm just foreseeing you guys fucking yourselves over. Instead of expending resources attacking, oh, I don't know, FCC or VE (the ones you fear the most) instead you attack NH and Fimbulvetr. Strategically speaking, if you know you're going to get raped quite hard by potentially two parties, why decide to fight a 3rd party--which is on good terms with both VE and FCC for the most part, instead of aiming your assault at one of the two clans you think may be an issue.
I don't see the intelligence, and I think you guys slipping, could be wrong, but I'm fairly sure I'm right. But what do I know.
And let it be clear, I'm not upset by your decision to attack Fimbulvetr, the way you started it was cowardice, but we welcome the war. I'm just poking at the "tactical plan" in which you guys are deploying, wondering if you actually thoroughly thought it through or not.
That is why. You are friendly with both, FCC is gunning for us, and who knows about Tkov (Hopefully not) so why sit around and do nothing waiting while we all (you included) know it is only a matter of time before either comes for us. NH has a history of jumping on our backs when we are weak, So we just made the first strike. I don't understand how my response was cowardice!? any clan that has gone to war has had an issue that broke the camels back and claimed that as the reason, but it all comes down to either opportunity, or a general lust for war/revenge.
We have been battered for most of strat, we do not have near the resources most of the other clans have. We just decided that we do not want to sit around and wait any longer. We could have gone for FCC, but then we have to walk through the Tamda members which seems like a FCC shield, or we could attack an unreliable faction at our doorstep. We know we will most likely get hammered soon, but wanted to go on the offensive for once while we can (Guns blazing remember). We did not need to worry about pissing off another faction in attacking NH, as those factions will be coming for us soon enough regardless.
We all know we are on the loosing side this strat, we have been since the beginning, there is no strategic plan that could bring us out on top as the community sticks to their complacent stance, so strategically there was no right or wrong move for us, aside from Occitan coming back and allying with HP no clan has made a big move to step out of their comfort zone and I don't see that changing any time soon. Those who are friendly with us will stay friendly I'm sure, and those who have always had a hankering for us will continue to do so, I really don't think any opinions are going to change with this call, if anyone is upset with Hospitaller going to war with NH to take back what was originally ours then I have a hard time believing you didn't hold that grudge before this happened. Now lets get over this and try and enjoy some civil and xp oriented battles shall we!?
