War of Northern Aggression

[BaleOhay]

So relit quit because we showed up for a 1am fight that they intiated and he had to ask people to sign up?

Am I reading that wrong? How does that make us bad people. We sjow up for every fight. That should not be a surprise to anyone. Who cares if we had 50 tickets and you 1800... all fights should be contested. Sort of the point of the game.

If you did not want to fight then u should not have attacked the guy.

Also we do not send spies to other teamspeaks. what would be the point..

your mom is hot spin

The Axeman approached the Forum of Diplomacy - the most pretentiously misnamed tavern in Calradia.

The last few days had been indescribably boring due to a magic spell which kept the lords of the realm locked within their castles, unable to engage in war or even to train in battle, and the Axeman thought that listening to the drunken insults and whinging of the bar's pathetic regulars would be more bearable than drudging in the terrible mines of "Arr-ell"

As he neared the establishment, however, he quickly realized that all was not well.  It was not at all unusual to find the bar in a state of drunken brawling, and he would have been surprised not to hear angry shouts and boasts, but today the timbers were literally shaking with the furious bellowing and piercing screeches coming from within.

He did not even reach the door before it was slammed open by a bearded man in banded leather armour.  The figure's face was so distorted by fury that the Axeman could barely recognize him as Relit, the emissary of the Ravens.  Tears streaking his face, Relit turned, gave a howl of inarticulate rage, and threw his spear into the door of the tavern.  It bounced up and down far more than was natural, and the Axeman realized that what looked like a solid wooden haft was actually soft rubber.  As he noted this fact however, Relit had already mounted a horse and ridden off madly down the road leading out of the lands of Calradia.

Edging through the doorway, the Axeman peered into the main hall of the tavern.  The first thing he saw was Kesh standing on the FCC's table and yelling across the bar at a table of traitors, most of whom were sticking fingers in their ears and practiced looks of boredom on their faces - aside from one Frisian who was busily engaged in slinging filth he had collected from the straw floor beneath the bench. 

The Axeman decided there were other places to get a drink.

Seriously, it was depressing reading all this shit this morning.

Lol! I'm pretty sure Relit or SP1N called FCC- Kesh assholes in TS, then apologizing and sounded depressed! Haha even scum bags like AoW/Teutonic that seriously betrayed multiple ppl got shit on harder and lasted longer! GG GL HF 


Edit: for an hour we AoW, were all playing in NA1 because we recently reformed( for the 3rd time lol). Around 20 minutes before, we signed up for the battle as Kesh asked us to apply. Jack1 was in our ts. Jack is our OG AoW, I think he told his fellow confederacy that we all signed up last minute anyways. Just saying... Sorry if I am wrong about Jack1... (My thoughts).

Why the fuck does it matter anyways?? You attacked. they have the right to sign up whoever the fuck they want whenever they want. Complain about FCC defending them selfs. Although you attacked a poor ass useless Acre dude at 1am. Hello!? Wake up Raven!

[kasMVC]

Lol, i blocked him actually then dropped him and he raged about it, not the other way around.  Also, Artyem I still have your steam message too if you want me to post it and Sandy's ts message, Relit's stuff etc.  I do hope its all just melodramatic theatrics.  I do remember you guys repeatedly threatening devoting all the rest of strategus to making the game unenjoyable for all acre members if they didn't play the way you guys wanted them to, that always struck me as a far worse mentality than anything you might think we do and  "Such cutthroat and repugnant behavior has inspired several people to completely quit this game" very accurately described that kind of over-the-top seriousness you guys brought to the game over a silly mix up of reinhardt with the former leader of SoA.  All we have done is do about 3 battles a day for a few days and we just happened to win most of them as open field battles attacking and suddenly its cutthroat and repugnant behavior, we are assholes, etc.

Hey can you post those things? I've already seen Artyem's message but couldn't read it because it hurt my autism.

James had been briefed on the fierce debating by his second in command Axeman. There had been some heated exchanges from the leadership on both sides of the conflict.

The image of faction leaders standing on tables filled with their men shouting insults at each other in a tavern is wildly amusing. Can we make it RL Crpg drinking convention in Chicago? I'll bankroll the acre bus and booze lol.

Relit, what exactly is Kesh doing that ruins the game for you?

Also why are we no longer Steam friends?

at this point the only thing I can come up with is CC expected to destroy us. We did not roll over and let it happen. So we are now terrible people willing to do anything to win, which is confusing. Maybe they wanted less fights in a week?

Well that's what I was thinking, and why I want him to answer it.  Remember guys, I am a third party.

I don't really want to get involved in this too much... We had been doing such a good job of avoiding drama till now but I do feel like I should say a few things.

1. Kesh isn't making shit up about people telling us they or their friends are quitting. Whether those people have quit or at just threatening to or thinking about is another matter but it certainly has been communicated to us that people are quitting over this strat war. (honestly I don't even mind if people are quitting cause they aren't enjoying strat or cRPG anymore... just dont try to pin it on us)
2. It gets really tiring having people accusing us of playing unfairly and throwing wild accusations at us. We have only initiated one battle outside of prime time and it was to intercept castle reinforcements. We have been more worried about our enemies in this war than about ourselves... I suppose that is a side effect of fighting people you like. I don't like hearing about how miserable a time our enemies are having fighting us but I don't know what more we can do to help them have fun in this vidja game. We aren't going to throw any fights and I sincerely hope none of you would want us to. This war was forced on us because we were told we were the only faction worth fighting so we damn well better do our best to prove that praise worth while.
3. Who is taking this game more seriously? The people who are having fun playing it or the people who are getting upset and removing friends from steam over it?
4. While all this drama will only serve to create enmity between FCC and CC it might also be a good thing. Both sides tried to keep things polite but from all the wars we have been in... It seems to me that hatred is a good motivator for people in strat. So if hating us is the only way you can get motivated and keep your guys interested then I guess you can hate us. Just please stop making up false accusations in the process. And please stop hating us when the war ends later.


One last thing. Blaming Kesh and the FCC for making the game bad and scaring everyone away and encouraging AFKing in fiefs and blah blah blah. That is a total load of shit. We have been the most active aggressive faction in strat. Whenever we do just sit back and take it easy for a bit... nothing happens. You can also look at strat 3 where we quit early cause we were bored of doing nothing... how did strat 3 go? it ended up being a couple of mega alliances poking at each other till the EUs wiped them no? So yeah, don't blame us for people not being motivated to do shit in strat. I think we have actually had a positive effect in making strat entertaining... look at all the wars listed in Anders thread... almost all of them are "Clan/s VS FCC".

Relit doesn't feel like wasting his time and getting aggravated dealing with basement dwelling poor sports like Kesh who acts like a jerk in not well balanced browser shell strategy game that doesn't even really have enough players to support it because the base game is declining.

His point is quite clear.

can you be my friend as well?

[CrazyCracka420]

I'm going to quit c-rpg and strategus unless FCC pays me one whole loompoint.   You don't want this on your conscience.

And yes Bale I'll be your friend as well.  I like video games, and like stuff.

Can you just let Relit answer this?  Otherwise you are just confirming Bale's theory.  I mean right now you just took a jab at Kesh because he is winning.  Just let Relit answer.
