I thought that was a bidding war
p.s. can I buy troops from you
That's why I edited the post with that addendum: it was the only case where we tried to get as much as we could out of a thing we sold someone. More than one person being interested was the best way to gauge what we
could get out of it.
Unfortunately we may be using most of our remaining troops soon enough.
More like who cares about strat, it turns good people into spergs, especially on the forums. I don't care about strat as much as I used to when The Mates first started, if you haven't noticed I pretty much call people gay in diplomacy threads. Leave the sperg out of this war, I still consider Wesley, Holiday and other AoW guys to be friends and nice guys. Let's not be mad nerds and spoil our cRPG relationships over worthless pixels on some web browser.
Or of course, make the decision to become a sperg forum warrior. I couldn't care less, it's your life m8s
I will once again take up this mantle, yes. War is no fun if you don't discuss it, and if you don't treat enemies like
enemies, why bother talking about it here at all?
However, nitpicking over minutia like "who is bad at what build" and whether "X amount of Y circumstances lost a particular battle
and therefore it didn't really
count as a victory for their side" is asinine and ridiculous.
It's even worse when you stoop to base hyperbole to make yourselves seem more impressive than your opponent, such as this:
Lol - we were doing better than a 1 for 1 until our weaker armor ran out down to broken lamellar while you guys still had almost 70 body armor the entire battle, it was around the same time we ran out of horses. We never had more than 50ish body armor the entire battle and were doing better than 1 for 1 as attackers. And yes someone just standing still leeching our best and most limited gear for most of the battle did make the difference between winning and losing when we lost by 33 tickets. Sitting and doing nothing, without him those tickets would not have been lost since being afk contributes nothing.
Apparently having around 50 (or less for the last 25 minutes) armor during the latter half equals "almost 70 the entire battle", "were doing better than 1 for 1", I will grant you, does constitute a lead of between 2 and 30 tickets once you gained momentum after the first couple hundred (up until the last half hour when both sides were down to their lightest armor), and some guy who every time I personally saw him (which was many times) was riding around on his horse, often to get piked and killed was actually "just standing still leeching our best and most limited gear". Yup, completely relevant commentary there.
Here's my less sarcastic and equally petty rebuttal:
If the Mates had brought construction sites to
this battle, they may well have captured AoW's flags, as they came close to doing so once without any forward spawns.
If I had made it to
this battle, they
would have won.
I resign.
