For those people posting that they think the Pub Crawl ruined Strategus - yeah, it might have been boring for you, but it was formed as a way for all involved to essentially stop playing. Personally I found the idea of stockpiling troops and gold (yeah, really, since it only came from cRPG grind) for ever a little dull. Some factions obviously find that hugely entertaining, but I don't. And the alternative was/is to go to war, an option that requires far too much time and commitment. Staying up till the early morning every night of the week wore a little thin.
Its a little naive to pretend that Strategus would have turned out any differently if the Pub Crawl hadn't happened. In fact, we postponed the inevitable a little by opening up huge amounts of land for other new clans. The way it is currently, it'll always end in stalemate because there is no goal - except the one of world conquest, which is only feasible with a huge super alliance made up of a lot of factions. Which hasn't happened yet, but it would eventually after the last two super factions fight it out - except that they wouldn't, there'd be a few battles and then one side would get bored and give up.
Its also nice to see that the people accusing the Pub Crawl of destroying Strategus/making it boring are members of the largest clans. If you're all so bored, why don't you stop sitting around and fight? Fallen can attack the Northern Alliance of Lethargy, Mercs can go fight UIF, and LLJK can mop up the smaller clans
Oh, and nice thread UIF folks.
