Rogue Millitants within the WotN

Potential Barbarian Infiltration of the WotN!?!

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


           Upon the arrival of their newest recruit, two members of the illustrious Wardens have reportedly gone rogue, while still bearing their old banner! News has trickled in that they've massacred entire settlements, pillaged several villages, and more! Their rampage is spreading across the countryside like wildfire... the only question is, where will they strike next? All we can know for certain is that these two barbarians have most definitely been in cahoots for a while now, yet what I wouldn't pay to know of their plans...

Rogue ferkin militants!  Fine, everyone gets bored.  But if you are going to support such 'rogue militant members', please at least have the decency to use pseudonyms.

^ This. IF you want people to believe that they are rogue militants, maybe all mercing out in mass against a new faction isn't the best way to do it  :wink:

See, I always found it indecent to hide behind pseudonyms. Especially when you would be able to pick me out in 3 seconds flat, whether it be due to my character's face, my playstyle, or my KDR at the end of the battle... it would simply be useless. These "rogues" are very much similar to Sharpe in that while we do not back them and their decisions diplomatically, we are still friends with them. I wouldn't let some random asshat into the same faction, so it is safe to assume that we are all friends, or at the very least get along with everyone in the WotN, rogue or not. And therefore yes, I would most likely sign for them over someone who I have never once spoken to. The only real difference between our rogues and Sharpe is that when Sharpe went off to do his own thing he left our faction. These guys don't want to, and I see no reason to force them to.

if you guys are so bored, why gank new factions that are just getting started instead of going and attacking literally anyone else? They were new players who came over to start trying out the mod and now they're quitting.

What? They have absolutely no relations with Acre. They're friends with Volkwin who is an independent faction.

Barbarian Movement Gathers More Support

           After recent victories in the east, the barbarians have seemingly inspired a long-thought-dead Warden to take up arms against anyone and everyone near his current location. The barbarian ranks swell to a whopping three man force... should this rate of recruitment continue, the Warden leader(s) may be pressured into making some formal political declaration on the matter.

Well to be fair, we did not have any idea who you guys were. You could have been one of the many small factions that pop up out of the blue, yet is still comprised of veteran players (and speaking of blue, there have been far too many factions with the same color as you guys throughout this strat, for all we knew you could have been the remnants of one). The best thing you could have done is to make a formal declaration here on the diplomacy forums stating your position, and asking for help learning the ropes if you wanted to get caught up quickly. There were no diplomacy posts on your behalf explaining how you guys are new at this and just trying strat out for the first time; had there been I am quite sure no one would have touched you anytime soon, and you would have most likely gotten many offers of friendship. You have to understand that those of us who have been at this for some time now have mostly gotten bored, and therefore we have several members of our faction who decided to just attack any fiefs that they thought looked pretty, or attack anyone nearby for matters of convenience, I assure you it was nothing personal.

In case you wish to reclaim your lost land, I don't believe that Ghost has any intention of holding Vyincourt, so once you muster some forces you will undoubtedly be able to take it with relative ease. Not to mention that there is a plethora of fiefs out there with nothing but peasant gear and 100% crime rates that are ripe for the picking, a new faction's dream come true. And to be quite honest, one month is a decently long time to get situated, should you know what you are doing. Since that didn't appear to be the case, you guys might want to ask for guidance, as I am sure there are plenty of individuals or factions who would be willing to show you how the "pros" play strat.

They were so new, they just found out about the forum when I linked it to them today.

...i was just bored *shrugs shoulders*

i was just becoming warden for the hell of it. outside of attacking FCC one time when i was new, ive never really did anything on strat but make troops for bros.

gotta admit, these are boring times, nobody is really active. and a friend in a faction im friendly with is also bored...and has some gear and troops, just lying around, collecting dust. we got talking.

same old topic, how this is dying pretty much, and i just came out and said it. "can i have an army to attack someone with?" i was honestly expecting a song and a dance, having to ask higher authorities.
he just gave it to me. not sure he cared too much about who i was gonna attack. had a bunch of diff targets, Tuets castle, but its not Teuts, Pope castle, but hes with Heskey, to be fair, theres really no other targets than Acre, since im cool with starks and ll. i asked about curaw and was told it was a guy with brygg. Acre it is.

i mean, it didnt take long for jona to figure out what was going on and make that post. those who check diplomacy often knew something was going to happen. and i let enough people know im actually surprised it didnt slip out that i was going to attack Acre.

so im heading down to buy plate and other shit at nomar...and i see it, 6000 crates on a guy ive seen maybe twice in game and never again. idk how the rest of you woulda reacted, but for me its Dear Diary: JACKPOT. boring peaceful times aside, you should still have your guard up. there are multiple ways he could have contacted with or intercepted me. it looked like he wasnt moving at all. all his guys watched me go right by them, past the village they are at, past their castle, right at him. if you are going to be strat active you prob should check you char every couple of days, took me at least a day to get through the woods and past the castle...he just sat there. so enough giving me a hard time for easy prey.

he didnt message or nothing, i even saw Maple_kbw there and messaged him asking if HE was gonna go after Godfrey ( i mean, cmon, thats a juicy target )
what can i say...*shrugs shoulders* i went for it. Godfrey no showed, i scored the plate i was going to buy for an attack on an Acre castle...and there is a low pop castle right next to me.

just a couple of bros on there nothing fancy, i was surprised to see Acre gathering people. im actually impressed with the roster acre came up with on such short notice, forced me to jump on steam and holler at people. but i did, and it was fun. and im glad i did it, but i dont NEED Vyincourd...

ill leave it, i just wanted to own something, i have the means now, ive already left Vyincourd. i dont really want it ( full of crime yuck ) all this was just a slight detour.

If anything this was actually a good thing, Godfrey can have the castle back and do...w.e. they were doing b4. and i can go attack something, i even convinced my friend and his friend to attack something.

THIS WAS A GOOD THING. it gets us all pumped for the war WE ALL KNOW IS COMING. The war we have been fighting for a long time now, and keep putting on pause.

The war between Acre and their allies VS LL and their allies. its pretty much the same rosters that have been fighting against eachother forever now, we really outta get back to it? i havent seen 40 people in game or had that many people in TS in a while. miss the feeling. ya i shoulda let my faction mates know what i was up to, but they dont really play anyway, noone does.

i wrote too many words, thats my only remorse about tonight lol.

I REMEMBER PLAYING IN RAIN
THROUGH THE NIGHTFALL WITH FOG
THAT CLOGGED UP OUR EYES
BUT IM MORE HORRIFIED OF A MOD
I NO LONGER RECOGNIZE

Yes, Jona, we will know its you when you got you're polearm and you kill us despite our masterful blocks.  But no one cares if we know its you; we do not think you are hiding blah blah blah.  The point is you are lending your honourable name to some rogues.  you could be Anoj, evil twin to th right honourable Jona.  Or things along that idea.

Just let's keep playing the game.  If a certain reporter is horrified by this awkward turn of events, his char should be named "Bawdazz MoFahkah' or something similar.  Is Rp that hard?

I myself like a good story much more than a gank win.

I myself, is quite happy to see some guys attacking.  Population is free, and as you know the only thing holding us back is troops (fucking auto-balance and 2-stab!!!!!!)

So my advice is attack away, but please don't gank, as there is only one strategy in this game- out merc.  I've watched, and I studied, and I expiremented.  Numbers, or formations mean nothing.  Just the right mercs.  Stupid Euros posturing at shield walls and such is just a rather needy attempt to gain order.  I swear, NA tactics would win if Euros adopted them.

But, something i do not need to say to you, is play nice.

Victory is meaningless when you gank, and its ten times more painful when you lose to a gank.  So please, if you are not dedicated to one side or the  other, please balance the rosters- not just numberwise, but skill wise.

If your commander tells you to hold off on the flags, you know you are in a crappy  battle.  Every bloody battle should have you on the edge of your seat, not knowing if you'll win til the last five minutes.

Unless it is a serious faction battle, then fuck em all; we just wanna gain land.

Oh, and Plumbo- awesome you are commanding armies.  Don't care who you are fighting for, but just glad you are fighting.... like a man... not a brood hen.  Cuz only a pussy breeds troops other people to use.  BTW, I suggest to everyone in my faction to raise your own army and attack.

But I et ahead of myself- I really should post about the marriage between me and the Stark girl, and how it forged an empire- meh, maybe tomorrow.
