I've been thinking on this for a while now..so i'll just say that while there are some bits of what the FCC is doing this strat that I don't agree with or like,I don't think any of us can rightfully fault them for not playing that way when it comes to besieging a castle. Were the shoe on the other foot, I honestly can't say i'd play much differently in that respect. Fighting a smaller faction really is a lose lose when it comes to public opinion but so long as your color the one showing up on the map after does it really matter? Why risk it when you don't need to? Especially when fighting a faction capable of pulling off something like this despite their apparent lack of organization?
http://c-rpg.net/index.php?page=battlesparticipated#!?page=battledetail&id=4093As for everything else, personal conduct is one thing, but hats off to you guys as far as establishing a keeping a foothold in strat goes. You had your own way of making and picking your friends in strat, same as us and anyone else and it sure as hell works. While many of us may not like or agree with yours, who has the upper hand in all of this conflict? You're clearly doing something right. Like I said, I don't agree with all of what you've done but as a competitive player, I could never fault another group for not wanting or playing to lose at the end of the day.I definitely have the most fun when i'm winning. It's a shame that some of you seem so intent on making long term enemies through your actions but it seems like you've got at least two friends to account for every enemy that you might make, and it's a war game so. It's also worth noting that alot of us haven't really cared for you since the KUTT fights(myself included), but that definitely didn't stop me or them from joining your ranks when it came time for role call. You guys know how to win and it's not really fair for us to just sit here and down talk you for what you do when we had plenty of time to make a move on it. I think i've joined more castle sieges as an attacker fighting for you guys than all other factions put together this round of strat for that very reason alone. Keep doing your thing, FCC; I'd dare say that at the end of all of it,only one thing really matters to most players in a strat round.Or maybe i'm just a KD farming stats whore. Who knows.
(Still love you guys outside of Strategus talk either way.)
