It's all well and good (
I guess) to complain about nighttimes and deviating from "prime time" hours for battles, but because you've done that you preclude yourself from the legitimacy of excuses for attacking outside of those times.
Kesh specifically asked me to tell Ostulor, the castle's owner, that he should remove or change his nighttime settings because "it's at the end of prime time" and "we can't make followup attacks". Now I think you were just trying to reign in the last aspect of fighting against us at the castle that you could not control. Still, I agreed and talked to Ost about it. Seems like he did change his settings. What did that result in, though?
The next attack made almost a full two hours after his nighttime settings from before ended. That's the same followup attack you said you couldn't make because of those settings being prohibitive on the initiation time.
I suppose you could say you were banking on a lack of reinforcements, but it's still shady, even by your own standards, and everyone would do well to never listen to your lies ever again.
Seriously if you didn't want to be attacked at that hour then don't try to sneak massive armies while everyone is asleep to reinforce castle we have attacked 4 times already and deserve to take. You should have moved those armies the day before and gotten in the castle and just reinforced it after our siege. You should have just let derchios go at that point instead of trying to pull fast one by sneaking armies around on the map only at non-primetime hours which you guys have been doing.
Trying to take advantage of us mostly being asleep to do all your troop movements this entire war in the pre-dawn hours - yeah you should expect to finally get attacked when its needed to stop a critical reinforcement in your most defensible fief. If you had tried to march up troops during primetime to reinforce derchios we would have attacked them then.
We had five hours to reinforce after those mightnightesque attacks. If our resources are not there, shame on you for complaining when we try to take advantage of the window we are allowed. We got attacked trying to do it, so we failed, but we'll deal with it. It is not "pulling a fast one" just because some of you theoretically went to sleep after attacking at 1am.
I won't complain about what has happened, we will live with the consequences. You, however, will make any justification you can to rationalize what is apparently a breach of your own code of ethics. These are still battles that will have to be fought at a time when you have repeatedly said you don't want them.
Also, to Blackzilla: people are talking about the attacks against the two armies which tried to reinforce Derchios Castle, not you and the other castle.
