Knight Bruttus joines the Crusade against the Goblins

[GOBBLINKINGREATLEADER]

Legitimately considering renaming the faction to THE REALM OF THE NECROMANCER, and just making shitposts with poorly paint-edited photos of old dead cRPG players being raised unwilling from the grave.

This is definitely how it all got started.  We were low on mercs twice and my strat 4 PTSD triggered, and I'm definitely not alone on that.  Every battle since then has had the enemy up on mercs right up until the battle, and that's not because we're keeping people unchecked until the last minute.  We have at least three people actively digging the graves of old cRPG players trying to get them to come play again, and the majority of them don't actually sign up until the last 30 minutes.

I'm not particularly happy to see you guys (ND, Acre, HoC to a lesser extent) getting dicked so hard on rosters though, I understand how demoralizing that can be and I'll personally try to cool it on the mass recruiting for now.

No lie, I've been nerd herding people onto rosters pretty heavily to make sure that the non-gob rosters are sufficient. Problem is, your side(UIF) is effectly 83 merc pool total with 60 of that(maybe more) in one faction/TS. The other side(Anti UIF) has 92 mercs over 7 factions. It's hard to coordinate that...

This is also ignoring  CC or Despotate fighting for one side or the other

I don't know what your teamspeak environment is like; I don't know who is leading and if there are any elements in there causing people to drop out or switch sides. We've had a couple people recently that say they are extraordinarily surprised that we aren't a bunch of 16 year old highschool memekids with nasally voices and awful humour. They'd be told that we are exactly that, so maybe there are people running around saying that you're a bunch of highschool memekids or something.

From my small experience, every NA TS Strat battles I've been on has never been rated below 8/10: always either chill , or really fun; mostly a combination of both. Even in big ass battles where whole factions are in the balance, you do your job with flair, style, and meme.

For my part, I can only promise that I won't painstakingly recruit for hours before the battle if our roster isn't down by 7-10+ applications. I deeply desire even rosters (in terms of numbers), so I won't be touching butts with 20 people on steam at once to come play in battles if we're already fine on mercs.

It won't work.  Ten people will sign against you last minute.  We have tried everything to make even rosters in the past.  Nothing works.  It's all futile.  All you can do is hope every third or fourth battle is even.

Actually, I noticed that last strat.  You get crappy rosters enough times in a row, people start pitying you and actually sign and show up.  My plan this strat is make some cheap armies, barely sign anyone, then complain about rosters.  Then, when I think I cried enough, I'll save my good army for something important.

I just love the continual comparisons to UIF from people who have no idea what our faction is like on the inside.

[Noodlenrice]

I myself nerded the hell out for my own battle for mercs because we were down mercs and i was scared of losing (which we almost did as a result of my shit gear). Therefore I tried to get a bunch of my old Folkvangr friends and Squid friends. Not even sure of whether it worked or not but the fact that i nerded out for it was definitely a result of the initial disparity of rosters.

Fuck you noodles all you're good for is stealing shit from other people.

I attended one of your strat battles lately and your faction literally introduced its self to me as a less organized NA UIF ^^

so much this.  except for one acre battle last strat vs Blackbird,  any NA strat battle I attended was fun, chill and just way cooler then what you usually get in EU.  No matter if ass being handed or er.. ass.. being.. pounded?

You guys got got, you on tape now, case closed. No Heskeytime lawyer will save yo ass.

[MURDERTRON]

Mostly from people who clearly don't remember UIF well enough or haven't dealt with them in 2-3 years

Well, if you've read one Kesh post you know they are all multi-accounting Russian hackers who have wall hacks and aimbot and directly fund ISIS.  So, we're all veritable experts here.

Gobblin ts used to be fun but those bundle of stickss daruvian and sandy argue like a married couple most of the time. Also from time to time you can hear sandy mouth breathing like a huge nerd.
Then again what do I know, I'm just an over concussed man child.
