HCE\Acre army intruding Mithrim teritory- gets attacked

[Balikar]

I never got to your flags because I never tried. I assure you I could have pretty easily without a donkey

And I assure you, the guys who were pestering the flags weren't going on foot.  ;-)

I get it though.  You'd rather think that you guys did it all on your own, and that no one would resort to anything cheap like that... but they did.

IDK, most of your team would walk the long way around or donkey over. Never actually saw any spawns, but I was cav on courser so I was Zoom Zoom Zoom Zoom most the game.

Things I learned today:
1. Playing with your friends is wrong if you have more friends than other people.
2. HCE always cheats, no matter what. They can never win a battle legitimately. Having friends and using cavalry are both examples of cheating employed by them.
3. They're always the aggressors in a war, even though they've never declared war on anyone.
4. Its only cheating if the HCE does it, if anyone else does it its fair and square(e.g. using horses in strat battles).

1. That's what FCC said.
2. Yup, FCC.
3. Um...Yup more FCC
4. FCC.

So...
Hi Kesh, welcome back to strat!

In  a more serious note:
Stop Whining. You're the biggest faction, you outnumber everyone by members alone. Without reverting to EU style of fighting as block v block, there is no way to win against you. This is always how strat will go as a faction "beefs up," on members. Want me to pull out all the EU whine threads about the fucking stupid DRZ/GO never fail alliance?

Wow!

I...I... should...um... read some of them.

2/10 needs more emphasis.

1. The rest of us have plenty of friends, but do you see us all in one mega faction?
3. I don't see where anyone is calling HCE the aggressors. In fact, kudos to all aggressors; without them, strat would simply be a trade sim. Playing defensively is the easiest thing to do in the game, and it's all you guys do, as you yourself just admitted. Throwing your tickets at impenetrable walls over and over again gets boring real fast, and HCE has attacked cities/castles how many times?
4. Yeah sure, lemme just go grab the 40 mercs I've got sitting in my back pocket to see how you like getting ganked. Brb.

Things I learned from Tristan...

1.  He's warped.

Seriously.

1.  I would like to think we're all friends.  I hold no personal grudges.  Even you go back say, a year ago, you'd see me going after the Squids throats, and they mine.  Now I'm teaming up with them.  It's a game.  Just because you're friends, doesn't mean you have to be on the same side all the time.
2. HCE has won some legitimate battles.  Some were won because their enemies made some grave mistakes.  Some were won through numbers, and sheer roster, and yes, some were won through illegitimate means.
3.  What?
4.  If you spawn with a donkey to ride around as donkey cav, no issue.  If you spawn with a donkey cause it's all you can ride, and you cross a map from one end to another ON THE DONKEY...  no issue.  But if you spawn with a donkey, or any mount, solely to spawn at the enemy flags, which yes, some of your guys did consistently... then you're abusing a mechanic.  It's no different than using a sky ladder.  Just because you CAN do something, doesn't mean you should.  (EDIT:  For the record, I'd say this of my allies, as well of my enemies)

amazing that you can't even agree on that fourth point.  And you're an admin?  Wow.  Just wow.

There's literally no rule against spawning on a horse(or donkey), what does me having to be an admin have to do with anything?

1. I dont see anyone saying you cant?
3. Everyone was shitting themselves that we attacked the bezerks after they declared war on us, we've sieged Durrin multiple times, I've attacked tons of villages and Sungetche Castle, Dabirds sieged Uhhun Castle. What has HoC done in the last 5 months? Nothing? Talk shit on the forums? I thought so.
4. Do it

1. Shittiest argument
2. Potato, seriously why did we forget this number
3. Shitting themselves is a pretty bad simplification, more like sick of hypocritical bullshit and blatant disregard for facts, only to be regarded when it suits needs.
4. Nike.

2: In every battle against the hce I've been in, and that's a lot. I've seen them skyladdering and putting shit on flags. Maybe I'm overstating by saying every battle, but it's often enough to make me believe it and that is bullshit enough. For gods sake I've seen Talanarsis skyladder to our forward spawn more than couple times in the same battle a few sieges ago.
3: You guys attacked LL, how can you claim that the state of your former factions don't matter if you say that war with acre was dragged in. Sounds like typical hce hypocrisy I've come to know from you guys.

2: There was a ladder going over a wall, so I jumped off trying to land on your forward spawn (your forward spawn was right next to the wall)
3: LL declared ETERNAL war on anyone associated with Acre, and Acre and its allies are HCE. We just continued the war they created.

WE are all friends, its just people get cranky after a loss.  And it does get tiring losing too many battles in a row.  We have all been there.  And while we may have won the last few, they were all closely fought and could have gone either way.  If Jayjrod's battle had been on flatter ground he definitely would have won.

So my dear enemies, don't fall into despair.  While we'll never purposely lose a battle, we can't win forever.  Most of our fights we have more deaths than our enemies, even when we have a number advantage.  So let's just enjoy the quality of the fights we had and move on to the next one.

And this whole aggressor thing was a joke.  It is done for propaganda purposes only.  I had been talking to Dutchy and sJimmy about our war before we attacked, and Dutchy just took advantage of 'no official declaration' to get us.  It was clever, as we always try to look like the knights in shining armour.  But we were already discussing who we were going to attack next (Dutchy's nightime settings were a little annoying for us- understandable, but annoying) when the Wardens attacked us.  So we tried making the Wardens look bad as they always try to look like the knights in shining armour.  Standard forum bullshit.
