Coalition-Druzhina battle agreement aka Gentelmens War

[Segd]

everyone should respect Coalition's decision.

it's really sad to see you guys leaving now and i can understand it, that you are giving all your fiefs to segd but wouldn't it be much better to give the fiefs to random small clans? you would bring some colour and action to this strat and make some small factions happy (for example fenris...this guys are so poor )

Some fiefs already cleansed from any life. So go get 'em! 

[Erasmas]

it's just a freaking game erasmas -.-

Nah, it was a game, truly strategic one, cause people put some effort into achieving effect by ... ehm... various means. And this forum has always been a part of it

Now its mostly a playground, or at least it's turning into it. That is why I'm sorry.

as i said....i'm a bandit...and not interested in any fiefs. you could be a hero and give some of this fiefs to small clans (FIEF+TROOPS+EQUIPMENT)
c'mon segd be a hero!!!

[Larvae]

Well,kinda sad,u were always there...

wait, coalition leaves strat forever or only for this round?

[Harpag]

It is mind boggling that anyone would consider Segd a "traitor" or blame him for us leaving. The XP battles were not a cause but a symptom, for ages we have been nothing more than a faint shadow of our former selves, only looking strong on paper due to the large amount of resources. Unable to do anything on the map, with very few actually active strat players left and tired and burned out from over one year of Strat, with the same few guys doing the majority of the work. Virtually no one had the energy nor the desire to continue "playing" this. Fun ceased to be a reason to work on strat long ago. The only driving factor was to not letting all we worked so long and hard for go to waste. That is why we resisted as best as we could when we got attacked, instead of turning into gift boxes, roll over and die a spawn cap like Mercs & Templars. XP battles seemed a good and easy to do alternative to our originally planned exit: burn it all and call it quits.

Nobody questins UIFs victory anyway, ours was a lost cause for almost half a year now. Even if we had active strat players to actually do anything with all the stuff we still have, we would not stand a chance with virtually the entire map against us, except for the Bros (honorable mention).

If you serouisly feel cheated out of an already achieved victory, I am truly sorry, maybe you should have tried harder to actually capture one of our fiefs. 

PS:
@Olwen/kinngrimm/Panos/ no_rules and other interested - this is your 5 minutes - do not waste your chance and do something funny at the end of round!

NEROBEFEHL - miraculously avoided by conscious intervention of Segd. Tkank you Segd. Fu Rogue. I always felt that you are a step away from that barbarity.

@no_rules - this is your 5 minutes - do not waste your chance and do something funny at the end of round!

wut? since when do I participate in strat?

[Erasmas]

So I see some castles and cities returned to HRE. Now these are being emptied - all cash and troops are gone.

Did you guys return to the original plan of burning this stuff? I understand that you want to quit, but do you really want to ruin game for whoever is left? If so - THAT IS EVEN MORE LAME. Its like - I am bored so noone else will play again too.

Don't do it. Better give this shit to some small faction, if you don't want Druzhina to take over stuff.

Unless you want to reorganize, but I don't know how leaving cities emptied may help in it...

Very disappointing.

[no_rules_just_play]

I guess we are putting all their troops and gold together with drz to make xp battles?

[Tactical_One]

What happened on coalition on strat ?

I dislike idea of exp battles, war on strategus are very nice. Tactic strategy, treachery and all that stuff. Last siege at Narra was pure fun.

Normal battles/sieges we got on EU1 and EU2

[Franke]

There is nothing to add to what has been written before.

Strat was no fun for us anymore; what we invested (time, energy,...) exceeded by far what we gained from this game (fun).

I've been sitting in Narra for like 9 or 10 months now because no one else wanted to do it, pushing tickets and equipment around, literally dying of boredom.

The forum part of Strategus was no fun either. The "precious Roleplay" that some claim to have enjoyed here in my opinion mostly consisted of flaming, whining and insulting others.

I feel sorry (I really do) for GO that they feel cheated out of victory now, you guys surely have invested as much time and energy into this as we did. You still can regard yourself as victors, and I'd like to congratulate you for obviously being able to find more reliable allies (and more of them) as we did. I know this doesn't make up for the feeling of satisfaction after storming the enemy capital, but insted of calling us "losers" on the forum, you can flame us as cowards now (it would actually confirm my view on this forum as a platform for roleplay).


I'd like to point out that I really feel sorry for Szegd, who obviously got into a hell of problems for pulling this of with us, I actually had expected these xp battles to be the better alternative to wiping everything.

And last, but not least

wait, coalition leaves strat forever or only for this round?

We, the HRE part of the Coalition leadership (Rogue, Fips, Niko and me) had a short talk about any possible future Strat rounds and it seems that no one of us is willing to do this to this extend anymore.
But this was on the summit of our Strat burnout, so nothing is sure.

[Erasmas]

Guys, whatever you do, JUST DON'T BURN THE FIEFS. Don't respec them. It will make them utterly useless, and beyond repair in this phase of this round. And someone may still want to have some fun. Don't leave Strat with the sticker "dickheads" on your back.

More on strat will follow. I am preparing wall of text

[Chris_the_Animal]

Erasmas, Rogue tried to give his fiefs to Segd to make xp battles out of it so the community got something of the coalition stuff. But Segd got called an traitor for the will to bring xp to crpg.

They tried to make use of their stuff over Segds work, because they themself cannot give xp battles, coz they lack the time in real life to do it.

we would not stand a chance with virtually the entire map against us, except for the Bros (honorable mention).

Yruma Castle will be open for every HRE, Fallen or Great Khan who wants to participate in Strat furthermore. We are quite inactive and we wont become active unless you wait 2 years for me finishing school^^
Just know we are there and we got open doors to all our Friends.
Thanks.

[MURDERTRON]

Okay okay.  If you give me all the stuff, I will do proper EXP battles.
