The problem with this "war" is that anytime someone would try and make an offensive move on either side someone from outside would cockblock and the other side would get like a thousand messages from different factions saying "if u do that we will come and kill you". So yeah that war was weak af and ending it now was probably the best decision for me and Knightmare to make.
I, uh..
That's how shit gets popped off and interesting, man! You know, any sort of conflict with disparity between sides (all of 'em really) is going to involve one side requesting overt or covert assistance from others. After all, everyone is presumably interested at least a bit in "victory".
I understand the bombardment of messages on forums and site when diplomacy is going on. Shit, I feel bombarded at times in this strat when we barely even HAVE diplomacy in this faction here.
But man, I'm a little disappointed in you. Not specifically for not fighting knightmare, but for backing down from a fight without any proper campaign on either side. Not just that, but allying with your "enemy"!
The most fun part of any strategus round for me was certainly leading the new and small Frisian faction against a somewhat established faction in early Strat 4. I recognized that we were outnumbered, so I eagerly sought out the most powerful friends I could find, and attempted to present ourselves on the forums as tougher than all shit (and by that I mean autistic as all shit).
That shit was awesome, and we never even considered backing down from someone that had initiated aggression on us, we never really pondered quitting because we didn't want to expend the effort. I understand that not everyone is down to be a strat nerd, and that shit's fine. If everyone that played cRPG was a full-fledged strat nerd as well, I imagine the global economy would take a minor hit from lost revenue.
But goddamnit, if you're gonna be a nerd-herding sort, you gotta stick with this shit!
I'd also like to throw props out to Blue and other guys from that old Halitrous faction. After losing several key players, they ain't quitting. They aren't complaining for shit, either. He's understandaby asked for a bit of a ceasefire to organize a new strat faction...and naturally, I've not been at the PC to make that happen. Sorry for that, bud.
But for real buddy, say you attacked Knightmare in force and (completely arbitrary) say HOC jumped in full force against you. My intelligence on the matter isn't the best at all, but I reckon you'd be in a bit of shitty water with that fight. You know, you aren't so intensely unlikable that YOU couldn't pull other factions into the war with you. ESPECIALLY if you find yourself outnumbered. Ain't ANYONE in this strat so unlikable that they're fucked in terms of friends. So you throw an endorsement behind President Trump or some shit, and HE comes to your aid. Now its a fair fight or a fight in YOUR favor. You know what happens if the tables turn and you've got more folks, resources, and brain cells than the other side? They'll do the exact same thing until everyone uninvolved are constantly hammered (ala Arys), constantly neutral (ala fucking pussies), or already engaged in an unrelated conflict.
what this autism is trying to tell you is that you were a little bitch tristran, i'm sorry, but i feel an obligation to let you know when you goofed up
but its ok you can make this right
