The CORE issues at hand(TRR vs CORE/LKA)

[Carlos Danger]

A weary man steps up the podium, clears his throat and begins to read from the notes in front of him. Slightly disheveled but no less handsome he looks poised to conquer the campaign trail.

First I would like to take this time to all those of the RED who gave up there time and energy and to LKA and CORE for being the first of few in my attempted rise to the top. Some might say its early but a majority vote led to this, so blame my constituents. I apologize now for the thread title, I tried valiantly to fit LKA in there but alas we put this speech together hastily. I was not at the gym sending selfies of myself to anyone, so do not check your aviaries. Good luck to all

For those who are interested

TRR 14 members(we think) 133k total land, average about 9500
CORE+LKA 12 members, 153k total land, average about 12k

Our nw was higher but we were forted for war. Still plenty of live kingdoms so hopefully it will make for an interesting fight. You can catch me here on the boards if need be. We apologize for the cross faith hit, tough to not to due to this age being a little weird, we may after the war is done make changes to help make more viable targets and make it not so hard to hit a larger guild.

Good luck to Core/LKA.

Your realm was damn hard to crack, Grunt.

"Follow dem..DAT U'MANz talkin up dere!?!!" A gnarled old goblin named Horance throws out his hand at our Mr. Danger and almost falls over laughing - "well den WEEZ ALL FOOKED!"

Higher networth and numbers? Good game! ::restore::

[clark kent]

cross faith hitting...wonder how the two faith being hit can work it out and forget what faith they have in this faith war :p

[Tara]

*Shakes head at the goblinwench Mauhura, the one who hired the "fookin human" Carlos in first place* Oh brother she has GOT ta lay off the Tunnel Ale lol good thing she has ol' Horance! sheesh!

Hey Iggy! maaaan I know yer not talkin NW when ya guys had 20k more acres than we did.

I mean, ya see TRR's average and was 9.5k acres, heathen avg was 12k?
That's a big difference for the 1st war of the age.
And one'a the only things that should matter in the 1st war of the age is total land.
How we all built & defend it is what makes the difference.

Member-count is the second & only other factor imho - and you have Dauthi riding out with ya, whether you knew it or not.
So that makes it even. He almost (or perhaps did?!) kill one of our guys Friday, soooooo ... yeah =)

14 heathen who started with more land -VS- 14 Red.

And LKA is never any slouch of an ally, cross-faith or not.
I'm waitin for the 1 of their's we couldn't locate at the start to pop up and seriously F my kdm UP lol!

...oh, ok, not to mention the 2 (no, no, 3) more members LKA seems to have picked up since we started as well. Niiiiice

14-v-17 it is then!
*calls The Ranks' scummie scummerz*

(**unless our Secretary didn't get the memo of peace? did anyone get peace? *looks around* anyone? no? I don't think so, but tell me now cuz I just set the war dec on LKA so maybe they can't get any more members till it's over ;p ...or does it not even work that way? lol )

[Igneous]

ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.................

[clark kent]

hitting two different faith especially at the start of the game is very different to a part when the game is gonna be resetting and usually what happens during that time is 2 faith would always find a way to unite to take down a top faith waiting to be hit for compensation.

doing this at the start is kinda lame to think especially in finding a good war to bring the attention of the faith to unite against a single faith having the 1st strike...i thought the game is already resetting :p ,well anyway, i'm only here to watch

[riseendreev]

Not to mention hangover's left from last age.

They really are taking initiatives here hehehehe....

[Carlos Danger]

Sorry guys, I have had some RL issues and haven't been able to play for a few days.

I didn't mean to make this a pain for anyone and while I understand that combining two faiths is a pain, I have a feeling combining any two guilds would be a similar pain. We were just trying to make the most out of what available as we had people wanting to go to war and we wanted to see how a few of our new members would do during war time.

The game doesn't need less fun and I don't want to take anything away from anyone else playing. While I am not pushing for peace we are open to it so we can all move on from this when you guys are ready. Like I said fun is the most important thing and while it may be fun for us, I don't want to take any fun from anyone else. You can post here and while I may still be on and off for a few days Tara can handle anything if I don't get on in a proper time frame.

We will have some discussions on our guild size once this war is over and see what we can do to stop cross faith or multiple guild hitting going forward until the game picks up a bit more.

[Igneous]

Peace Please. I'm bannering it now.

~Iggy

[Stee Jans]

Ceasefire posted on TRR's banner, pending final approval.

I assume that LKA also wants peace?

[riseendreev]

In behalf of LKA, we welcome PEACE...

we were useless in this war anyway... moving on...

[Dauthi]

Carlos,

" I have a feeling combining any two guilds would be a similar pain."

Your going to have to do this all age. And all age your going to get people angry at you on the forums. And all age your going to feel like everyone is verbally attacking you and get to the point that you are uber frustrated with the game because of the hate people have for you because of these type of attacks.

Thats why I'm writing this. Either A. Settle with a gaint go F them and don't care and stop feeling sorry for other peoples feelings. or B. make it so you don't have to combine two guilds to make an attack. How? Split your guild into two guilds. Everyone can have two kingdoms, so make two guilds where all your players have 1 kingdom in one guild and 1 kingdom in the other guild. This way you can have wars that keep your players happy but only half their kingdoms are actually fighting. just a suggestion from the sidelines, would hate to see more people get frustrated because of the bitchyness these forums have.

[Dreck]

...from what a little birdie told me, war is still on. who is this u say? just a new member i applied the other day unknowing lka was at war. more fun for me. got full turns in both kingdoms. time to do my nightly scumming. hope u all aint asleep. for my goddess!

[Reylan Talonspyre]

I would guess from TRR and LKA's comments, war is most definitely not on.

[Carlos Danger]

Thank you Dauthi, its an option we are considering. I know we keep the guilds separate entities and still keep it fun so it might be a good option.

There shouldn't be any activity between us and CORE/LKA. If there is please let me know. The last actions from our guild were close to 21 hours ago. I got a message from someone in CORE who said I was stealing from them after peace but I haven't accessed my kingdoms since my post yesterday so I am assuming it was the incorrect time posted. I have let my members know that the only Angies that are hitting us are just Goblins and not anyone from LKA. Dreck did some damage after the ceasefire that Stee posted but I am okay with that as long as it stops.

It seems everyone is okay with peace but if that's not the case let me know.

[Dreck]

Last I heard from Sideon he still wanted war. I tried to contact him anyway possible yesterday before I played my turns and couldn't reach him so i moved on. If he tells me war is off, I will stop doing anything. Until then, I'm going to do my job. Don't worry, I won't be much of a bother.

[clark kent]

I think there's no need for them to split up.. they can go to a real challenge of hitting NIR rather than having to declare on two different faith for a boring land grab war coz there's no way those two different faith would plan on cooperating at each other at this early stage. anyway, since TRR just got out of war, i surely think NIR would wait for them to be fair as NIR got all the average points but less number while TRR will be bigger in terms of NW/numbers much more then when they will be fluffed and ready for war.

Well, i'm just a spectator in this war and i'm glad this early cross faith hitting show is finally over when it was already over the moment it started :p .
