Strategus drama Penios

[Jacko]

To clarify the rules: Not defending your flags is considered delaying the battle.

This rule is to cover our bases when it comes to people hiding, riding around and other forms of delaying a battle they can't win (the focus of a battle is to kill your opponents or get their flags).

This thread is pretty good and I kinda agree with Jacko it's delaying.
But it's still hilarious to see people so upset and mad.

On the other hand, if you can't kill riders shouldn't the riders be able to get away?

So am i to believe that the main goal of a battle is to stay alive? Not to engage the enemy? The fuck he could have bought weapons and not spend it on a horse and not decreased his troop cap. Instead Andswaru wanted to be "fast" at whereever he wanted to go ... and got caught.

For me it is not about Panos rage polling or Tea counter rage polling, but about the idear behind this game. The fuck it is not about not egaging in combat, but to prepare yourself so you can and in that sense i know who lost that encounter, if now being kicked by an admin or not.

EDIT: And then dragging out an encounter for 14 minutes ... fuck that shit. I got better things to do then to wait that the circle jerk cav runs out of luck. If we have that attitude in every fight this will become a very boring strat indeed.

[Kafein]

Wait wait wait... is this thread actually serious?

How about common sense? If attackers run out of ladders on siege and lose because of that - it seems perfectly fine and legit, and even realistic.
But a single pony rider protecting the village from 100 enemies by just riding away... No.

Your argument is invalid. The common sense rule is never applied to anything.

100 troops will suicide after the fact that they could not catch a peasant on a horse constantly fleeing engangement. Sounds legit. Even if it's not breaking any rules it's gay as fuck and shouldn't be a possible way to win a battle.

Change rules then.  Don't abuse admin kick.

Then bring some bows and arrows with you to the fight.  Panos was obviously not prepared was he?  Think of it as guerrilla warfare if it makes you feel any better.  The goal of guerrilla warfare IS just to stay alive.  Guerrillas win by not losing.  It sounds like Panos was not prepared for asymmetrical warfare.  Having an admin kick him was a pussy move.

Well, they could just try making a circle and close in on the rider

[dreadnok]

We are discussing it in IRC at the moment. Should be a precedent set soon enough until we can get something more robust in place.

Make sure you bring up a 1h morningstar and tower shield too

swaybacked sumper isn't the fastest horse in the world and when you have kinngrimm in your team and some other speedy guys I think that a little of teamwork could have the job done especially that they managed to hit the rider at least once.

Dont make this about me man. Andswaru came directly after the fight to me on teamspeak to point out your reasons for ban/kick poll of Panos with about 5 Nords waiting/watching in the spectators while those votings happened. I didnt call the admin who kicked the horse dude and didnt open this thread and i didnt attack Andswaru on the Strat map. And i sure as hell will not herd every fucking cav with an unorganized team not in the same teampseak only to catch 1 dude who is avoiding combat. The ruling has been made now by the devs/admins, deal with it.

[Panos_]

Funny how you accuse me of making drama, while you open this butthurt thread.

I was expecting more from Nords, guess I was wrong.

Sleep it over and the butthurt will go away.

What the fuck Blueknight, how are you able to seriously advocate that you deserved a win there? Jesus, have some downvotes. Seriously man, seriously, how?
