Uh, yea. I don't think I honestly "cried" or complained about people signing up against us. In fact I even spammed NA 1 for people to sign up for both sides, to get a good fight out of it. I'm not about to go advertising from teamspeak to teamspeak to try to get people to sign against us. I am however guilty of asking LL to make the switch over to our side from the AI in the uxhal battle(my apologies to all members of the AI faction, as it was indeed a snake-like move).
I did happen to get multiple people, from several different factions(eu included), who sent me copy paste messages of you asking them to get people to sign up against us and occitan(for fun and xp of course). This is what I was commenting on in those battles. The fact that one nerd spends all his time spamming steam messages to get people to sign up against factions that said-nerd isn't even an enemy with yet.
This strat is planned to be the shortest ever(correct me if I am wrong), with seemingly less active players than the previous strats. Also, we did not vote on fiefs this strat, which stalls the economic boom, and access to cheap gear, that really makes having early wars early on possible. I was thinking if everyone showed less resistance in the AI fiefs, and helped each other take all the neutral fiefs instead, that it would fuel NA drama and earlier wars. Sorry we haven't started a war yet, but we still have one AI fief to take.
And I also remember the squids taking two of their castles with little or no resistance, and them getting a bunch of sweet gear from those fights. I don't have a problem with this, in fact I was stoked for them... more gear to go towards an actual war. A war that we have been enjoying for a few weeks now.
Oh and Kesh, take a midol for fucks sake
First, what is a midol (I honestly don't know)? Sorry, I don't have your rage issues where every little thing done by anyone on battle server offends you and you start cursing, I assume its something you take for that.
Secondly. yes you whined pretty damned hard during that fight about us getting a whopping 24 mercs.
3rd, castles against other players are not going to happen or very rarely because its so overwhelmingly expensive - maybe village fights and open fields PvP, but not castles and cities. AoW has a lot more balls than you Aldo and are the rare exception to the rule by attacking a player-owned castle 3 times.
The only time these castles and cities will be fought with their awesome maps any time this strat is when the ai is being attacked, which is already a serious disadvantage in unloomed gear and merc pool. So you basically try to deny the community a fun, xp battle because you don't want to actually fight (and no you have never asked before battle for na1 for someone to sign for other side unless it was a few minutes before battle when ai doesn't even hire).
Uxhal is a lot of fun, so is Dhirim and a lot of the castles and cities you and occitan got for free. I recruit people for most of the ai castles and city defense if I am around and merc for that side under pseudonym even against people some might consider me friendly with. Where I have gotten enough mercs it has been a lot of fun like Asugan castle, Ichamur, Reyvadin, the 1st Dhirim battle, Derchios castle, etc. Where both sides got a LOT more XP and enjoyed a great battle at an interesting location that will never be fought over again this entire strategus.
I get that you are lazy bitch when it comes to strat, but to give grief to people actually trying to organize fights is childish.
Especially while you spend 4 months now doing nothing but hoping to take a bunch of ai castles for free while allying with other giant factions and not fighting anyone. Half of this strat is gone and you have done nothing to add to the strat community. At least 9finger would do shit, you are just a waste of space that bitches about any fair fight or exertion of effort on strat.
