And no I will never resort to bribes with crpg gold - it seems a distasteful and low-brow way to play the game, usually resorted to by people desperately afraid of losing, but to each their own I guess.
Sometimes I wonder if you even read what people post here, you +1'd Applesauce even though he just called you out on what you're vehemently denying. Even worse is you're taking me paying my friend some gold to switch sides (literally one person) and twisting it around like I just payed off millions of cRPG gold to switch your entire roster.
personally i think FCC has done so well because in the end we are not afraid to lose everything so we play balls to the wall and attack nonstop with tens of thousands of troops if need be only to get fiefs that we just eventually just sell anyway so we can fight some more.
Yeah, or maybe that's the cutthroat, anything-to-win attitude I mentioned before. Shitty battle times, shitty forum posting, shitty attitude and behavioral issues. Oh yeah, we were your friends alright, even though the few times we ever requested your help was met with "lol we aren't allied" and later "you could totally join us" and once we caught the drift of that it was "why the fuck are you guys fighting our vassals wtf we were friends".
but oh well, GG, better wipe small factions and replace them with docile AFK factions that can recruit troops for you. Although I gotta thank Bale for helping us out when we were smaller and didn't have shit tons of silver at our disposal. Stay classy.
