anders james and no grandmom all drinking the crazy juice. As for astralis fighting squids really well... I just do not see that. You defended a very strong castle and according to arowaine with his troops and gear help or you would be homeless.
heskey tells it correctly we are not allied and have not worked together. They attacked a target near them it makes the most sense with travel times. Not many factions are willing to spend 2 weeks to cross the map in a coordinated way to attack another faction. It gives to much time for them to regroup if you fail, and warning if they have people watching the map.
Arowaine gave no gear, though we did get gear from someone else, but it was a repayment of gear we sent them earlier. Every ticket and equipment in that castle was ours(first wave) and then squids plus ours, same with tickets. If Arow did give us stuff, I wasn't privy to it, but everything I put into castle was stuff that we had on our gear guy(the dude we shuffle everything we don't want to to sort it and give it out as needed).
Once again, though, bale. Most of my info comes from 2 sources. One a very reliable source and the other a clan mate, who I actually told off before this attack but had to take back my words based on what i've read here. (I actually thought they followed the poll, but then, they said it was joke, and planned, which means that i had to eat my words)
Actually, hearing someone beyond my 2 sources reliably confirm what i've heard makes me more inclined to listen to it. I now have 3 sources confirming something I actually claimed didn't happen that...well has.
We have actually fought with the squids the most. 4 attacks to their 4 attacks(Ignoring small scale battles, counting the fief they did not choose to defend.) Though squids launched the oft larger attacks(more tickets) we have won most battles, though 4 were with that great defense castle.
