May I have the word? No? Well, you will give it to me anyways, if you dont want your ears to bleed. ;)
So the thing behind the scenes was the following (believe it or not, I dont care):
Kinngrimm left because Strat was too much stress for him (the same thing happened in last strat - but this time he at least explained himself. That was in the same time when Bromance-Hood declared themselves as traitors and the war started (what was kinda my doing, since I attacked a Merc-tradermoron that did pass the green lands - factionless and unannounced.
). Then it had to happen fast, Gramps and Overload had to organize everything anew. Bros did trade the Tihr area to me before they left and I was stuck in Crappykewloo-area until HRG forced peace in the Snowlands. Wolves mainly didnt want the peace, except for a few - I wanted to etablish a bit trading first... CotgS bought Tihr from Greys and then the war broke loose again.
I, as somebody who knows kinngrimm personally (and maybe as one of the last people who still has him in steam), can assure you that he is not pulling Strat-Strings. Last message I got from him was "Didnt play any MMOs since 3 months... quit smoking since three weeks, listening to radioplays..." This is none of your business, but just to let you know: Sexygrimm is really only active in his RL. All planning is done by the new alphas of the wolves, a bit by me.
And my opinion about the war? I dont care. I can have peace, I can have war, I can masturbate and I can sing a song (but I shouldnt, my voice isnt made for singing). War simply means that the whole community will have some more fun and Strat won't be ending that soon.
Oh and to make something about Kinnygrimmy<3 clear: The plan was for us to take turns on attacking Tihr and the faction that gets it keeps it. So... as woody stated before: the CFA (whats left of it) was driven into joining Arms with the Gay Order. - Do not blame us for this. Blame yourself, dear HRG. Next time just let us fight Mercs without interfering and you would get a bigger and stronger faction on your side - either mercs or wolves. The thing that happened now is that both sides (east and west) are nearly even again.
So, my dear cRPG-Community... you better shut the fuck up with your shit about Kinngrimm... you shall not talk bad about the dead!
