I'm a trusting person; sue me. Also 48 hours to prepare for your 18k~ troops is better than nothing but really, it takes you 48 hours just to reach us and we saw em coming at about the same time you said they were; not that exciting. It was an opportunistic move and as I said it makes tactical sense, it just wasn't the kind of thing I or some others expected from you. Also in regards to your RP about Sargoth being your home... that is based on strat 3 when we gave you Ambean as a home so we could work together in some fashion? I don't know if you guys ended up taking it all over later when we left but I found it a little sad that your RP makes it sound like we are some meanie-heads who stole your land when really we set you up in it in strat 3 D:. Anyways, you guys keep saying to see things from your side and I get it, but it would be nice if you could acknowledge things from our side (or at least kesh's) as well. Is it really so hard to understand why some of us would be upset at your decision?
I have attempted to consider your side and why your upset. If I were in your shoes I would be annoyed but then I would realize that I made the classic grand strategy mistake of forgetting that other people have their own goals that may in fact interfere with yours. I understand you guys are miffed because you thought we were the best of friends fighting Occitan/Hospitaller together. Things changed pretty quickly and its jarring to see friends become enemies over night. Our decision upset you, I acknowledge this and hope one day we can move past that, but it is not my job as Raven strat leader to be friendly with every single entity on the map, without conflict we would all be sitting around doing trade runs.
Now, I know you guys are at war with a few factions, all over the map. Its for that reason I am arbitrarily restricting all Raven action to the Sargoth region (and Narra's area if you come knocking). We will not be organizing any massive effort to hit your holdings near our home region with Hospitaller/Occitan/LL, if they want to do that they can do it without us but make no mistake, we could have and it would have been much easier on us if we had. It is my hope that by only hitting the Sargoth region, FCC will be able to effectively defend itself on the other fronts, while putting up a good fight on ours.
If you are looking for a apology, its not going to happen. I answer to Turboflex and the Raven members, if they feel I am not doing my best they will remove me and select somebody else.
Edit: Strat 3 was a mess for us. We were attacked by allies, defended by enemies, given land then had it taken away randomly. The RP in this thread is purely a creation of this strat, I did say that Ambean was the home of my characters clan, this was done as a funny reference to NH's first village and not a stab at FCC. Honestly the only thing that stuck with me and some of the other Raven's from strat 3 was Hospitaller giving us a lot of advice and help understanding the system.
