Calling people a megafaction is hardly the same as bringing up actual member counts. It's the same reason we're called carebears - typical strat propaganda, not even based on reality. Nothing new to see here.
And even when you guys were "small" you had about as many active members as the rest of us.
???? Calling someone a mega faction is all because they have many members.
The second part is just pure bullshit. When tristan said that, it was around the time of the acre vs hoc war. We had a total of 7 members only 5 which were active. The other 2 just moved around on strat occasionally. You had much more members than us at that point. We only recently gained more members with members of CC coming back and thryn/sitvek joining us.
Calling each other carebears is just as you said stupid propaganda. The truth of the matter is both sides are split into blocks with maybe the sole exception of Acre(they sign for both sides and have expressed desire to come and retake slezkh).
So lets just cut the crap. I am sure if I looked at the rosters in detail, we'd see that there are 4 factions that can field somewhere between 7-10 fighters with some regularity. 3 of those factions are allied (or at least mercing together) against 1. Yes, in the early days there were some battles where HoC had a merc advantage. But its not the merc advantage that bothers me so much as dishonesty in trying to say that its a fairly evening fight as things stand now. It's not. and actually, thats fine. Its a war game, you have an advantage you use it. But its the virtue signaling and hypocrisy, aside from the normal shit-posting, that gets people to stop caring about this game.
So please, Tristran. Talk to me about about faction size.
I'd also like to just give a shout out to the various smaller factions, afk'ers, and other rag-tag assortment of warriors who have merced for HoC and made from some pretty decent battles afterall.
To others in Acre, Occitan and Pinks, regardless of whatever official or secret political deals you guys have with eachother, the rosters don't lie. I don't care who "wins" this war, but lets just have an honest one for crying out loud. Do you're worst, but don't pretend that you are some how fighting some mega-faction or that the odds are exactly even.
If you want to be honest then include the clan and the potatoes with you guys. At this point no one is ganging up on you so quit the victim complex now that frisians and occitans merged. HoC likes to include Acre in their opposition group but what have they done against HoC in months. I would say they are the only neutral major power at this point on strat.
Remember this. Pinkos has done nothing to HoC. We wanted a merc agreement ( even if signed with wrong representation LMAO ), it was HoC who became hostile when we were attacked by Free peasants and retaliated.
We have actually attacked Acre and taken one of their fiefs.
