Doesn't kesh offer 150k+ crpg gold for top mercs in his battles? I'm sure if you went through all his mercenary threads it would add up to 20-25 million crpg gold (could be a lot more considering the amount of hours he dedicates to playing crpg). Also please remember that crpg and strat gold have no value at all, and it really doesn't matter what you do with it.
I said it's OK to pay mercs and that no one should be vilified for it. You reply with a "but Kesh is still more wrongbad" argument. Did you actually pay attention to who you were replying to?
A clan call Free Companies complains about mercenaries being paid.
Again, not at all related to what's being discussed. No one is upset that allers made 500k for one battle. That's fine. He certainly earned it. The real issue is with Arowaine, not the mercs who were paid. I guess some people expected a more noble attitude from him, instead of:
i just reflect what fcc does sir im sorry to copy you!
I guess he could be referring to something that happened years ago in Strat 2? If he wants to lower himself to what he perceives as our standard, that's his choice. If he wants to give away whole heirlooms just to beat us, that's also his choice.
