I cant speak for my alliance, but there are those willing to help militarily or otherwise to defend the justification of cleansing the game of a mindset that diminishes the progress of Elgea.
Will look forward to the Steel + GC punks/trolls vs. NC + forward thinking players conflict |
Are you actually suggesting that attacking someone diminishes the "progress" (What does that even mean?) of Elgea?

lol, I think Gim and his folks have done a great job of defusing the drama potential in this one. Responding to diplos with ... care-a-vans? Masterful.
Enjoy the popcorn, the show will apparently be elsewhere.

it's just i fear this could yet turn into the usual bandwagonwar.. heck if this ( hopes not, really) turns into a battle where sieges are thrown at players, maybe from people that are not involved, and confederations get in a whole load of stuff will go down. i mean, try to enjoy the popcorn even if the drama is a bitter one to watch.. you may be surprised at the end.

Gimardoran does not seem to be asking for military aid at this point, AFAICT, and NC certainly aren't, so joining forces doesn't seem an option either way.

lord of the swamp, do not underestimate the powers of a well coordinated amount of small players. if the coordination works well enough, and those display a certain amount of strategic thinking, they can be a formidable foe. that said, i think this kinda conflict is not necessarily a thing where people shall bandwagon on one side or an other. this is a conflict between 2 alliances. if one comes here asking for help, well then it may concern you as you are called to take a position on the issue, but as things are now, it would be silly to act on a whim and join forces whit one of the two. it's boring to see everyone jump in a conflict that does not concern them. if you want a reaction of the community, here is my reaction: if the show is good i will clap hands, if the show is bad (newbie abuse in war context ) i will want to express my distaste. maybe even mid show.

On behalf of Night Crusaders, I would like to cut right to the chase. Yes, we are responsible for all of the attacks.... There is a chorus of players in this game who are frustrated, and we are among them. Things are so political that it is nauseating. This is a war game with troops and diplos - they are meant to be USED, not to be amassed so you can feel big when you run your mouth. Many players try so hard to conflate some minor issue into grounds for war, when in the end, some people just want to fight....
We're not going to lie about it. We wanted to mess with Gim and his alliance, so we just did it. |
I seriously applaud the honesty of that post. Even if I disagree with the sentiment, I applaud the honesty.
However...

I recommend that you don't get too bent up about it. Unless you are in STEEL, it doesn't concern you. |
Yeah, it does actually. You've just launched a whole salvo of aggressive attacks because you thought it would be fun. If the mentality of the game changes to endorse this behaviour, then that absolutely concerns me, and everyone else who plays.

And if you should decide to join forces with STEEL and attack us, well then you don't have too much respect for them, do you? They are 3 alliances with over 100 members, and we are only 10 players total. You'd think they could handle us on their own, wouldn't you? |
Ah, and I was so impressed by the honesty of the opening remarks :-( That is completely disingenuous. All players are not equal.
Night Crusaders have, at an estimate, 8 players big enough to be heavily militarily specialised, plus two who should have some worthwhile muscle.
Steel Confessors have two players big enough to be heavily militarised, half a dozen who should have some sort of muscle, and scores of guys too early in the game to have any significant forces.
In other words, Steel are massively vulnerable.

In any case, enjoy the show. |
I look forward to seeing how "the community" responds to this. That's the only part of the show that will have any interest/entertainment value.
