All I can say in one (million) sentences is:
If Bryggan had of rallied his troops instead of throwing in the towel, then the battles last weekend would of been a different result.
If what you claim to be "old strat" compared to what must be new strat, I can say there is 1 major difference:
The old leaders would never run from a battle that wasn't by their terms, they would embrace it and do all they could to prepare, they would fight out every battle to the last troop if needed.
Seriously mate I am sick of reading you whining about it all. It is borderline pathetic. It was a legit Rebellion, you keep claiming it to be treachery. There is a big difference between the two. I have tried to explain this to you many times privately.
For starters this battle:
http://c-rpg.net/index.php?page=strategusbattlesarchive#!?page=strategusinfobattledetail&id=3246This battle is 1 day after strat5 was ment to end(without mentioning the devs promise that strat would finish early in November), I had noticed your 2k army marching up.
Strat5 didn't end on the 15th as planned from the beginning and your attack was counted.
At this stage battles where 5v5 and not worth playing, New Sungetche Castle was heavy armed. I pm'd you and told you I couldn't be bothered with this battle, you convinced me to play this battle and I suggested a XP battle that we agreed upon. We balanced the roster and I ordered my mercs to surrender and let you cap the flags as the deal agreed upon.
This deal was due to strat5 should of ended and all of the players who helped me held a fief in the Steppe and deserved to at the end.
Well it didn't end yet and within days your faction members broke the deal by attacking New Dirigh Aban. you responded with "I cant control Acre".
Under this circumstance based on my faction members who had all done a shit ton of grinding and hard yards to be ranked in the top 25 renown, I agreed to join your faction just to save their hard work so they could finish this strat with a fief, in the belief that strat would now end at the beginning of the festive season like every other years dedicated 2 week+ break.
This did not happen and for many reasons(not mentioning any names) I decided to start building an army again and my men went into semi action.
After several weeks of watching Acre make stupid mistakes and abuse my good friends we all decided that we must rebel if the lazy devs would not end this. For the record Acre has merc'd against my friends and me this entire map.
Nothing against Bryggan but the rebellion plans took to another level and we started making plans and speaking with Thalion about our plans to make sure we could get some mercs if we where to take on Acre.
So at this stage we gave Bryggan a 2k shiny army to do with as he pleased, I personally had not merced in any battles and neither did any of my trusted ANZACS.
When we attacked last weekend, sjimmy and myself both considered our chances to be 50/50 at best even though we convinced each other they where much higher. We had put many hours into gear selection and battle plans for the desired targets.
D Day and all attacks from all 5 members happen as planned (bloody ledgends!). this is when we expected Bryggan to rally his troops and put up rosters that would be impossible to beat in the tough targets we had chosen to attack.
OMFG Bryggan orders all troops to surrender and cancels the faction, which makes the roster care taking near impossible.
*Some how this causes a glitch and now his own members cant access the roster for New Sungetche Castle defence.
But his own faction members can access my roster for the battle.
Come battle time and 2 mins to go all mercs are taken off. One Acre member is in our ts saying stuff like "strat is dead". Lucky I get all applicants back onto the roster and we storm the castle and cap within 3mins.
http://c-rpg.net/index.php?page=strategusbattlesarchive#!?page=strategusinfobattledetail&id=3639Saint Joke of Arc came into the LL ts claiming "Strat is dead" but asking to be on the roster. would be a safe bet to suggest he had something to do with the roster tampering and my money was he had a recording go for all of acre to laugh about, you do the maths . jokes on you
http://c-rpg.net/index.php?page=strategusbattlesarchive#!?page=strategusinfobattledetail&id=3639I personally would like him to be dealt with as deserverd by his deeds., but would like his incompetence to succeed with such an easy feat to be considered while dealing out his punishment. ( he is clearly mentally disabled
So Bryggan quits his own faction for everyone envolved, kills the roster support and in doing so now becomes Legionaries best asset for the upcoming 5 battles.
Then Bryggans faction loses all 5 battles and he starts whining about treachery and so on.
All you had to do was rally your troops for the awesome battles we presented you, we took on tough targets and the current merc pools would not of changed, if you rally and get even rosters to defend then most likely you hold the castle and city at least.
Your your own worst enemy by making these shit choices while pissed and ordering your faction to quit and then forfeit the faction so no one can access the rosters apart form fief owners.
Then you start passing the buck and blaming sJimmy and me for killing strat?
At the end of the day the old die hard players will still be here while you reminisce about how you fucked up.
If you want to publicly insult me or my members anymore for your mistakes I will post our private messages that proves even more then I suggest.
