[SaintofWar]

To be perfectly honest with you, I don't mind threats. The Civil War is a special case, and the first for many things I did. See, what was supposed to be a nice and quick succession became such a massive shitfest in such a short amount of time, that a lot of wires, all over the place, got crossed.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Sometimes, even for me, a seasoned veteran at roleplaying, we didn't know where IC started and OOC ended. I said this before a couple of times, and Ratharing might still be around to fight me on this point, but there was a lot of malice in the Civil War. We are not talking roleplaying malice. I think I started it too. Maybe I was supposed to roll over and die, but didn't. Maybe at some point I fired the first shots and mocked them for not being able to roll over me, despite being superior to me in every way. I don't really remember. But I do remember at some point there being malice. That it was not for fun anymore.

Know what I did?

I threw it right back at them. It's up on the forums if you look hard enough. Me outright mocking and provoking them to gain edges in the war and destroy them. It wasn't about winning the battles anymore either. It was about me keeping my guys logging in, and making their guys have less and less reasons to log in. I don't take kindly to people trying to f**k with me- and it all got sparked with one of my buddies actually getting some of the flak from the propaganda they were running against my character-- At first it was Weaver the Tyrant, and then it was Weaver the cheater- and yes, like I said before, there were tactics/exploits but only after they started saying that. But once completely innocent people got dragged into it, shit hit the fan in more ways than you can imagine.

But here we are. They don't exist anymore. We do. You can guess how the war turned out. But I try to forget it ever happened, and ignore the propaganda remnants. I honestly should've just kept my mouth shut- but I was really curious why a completely new person thought HoO was a religiously fanatic order. But I guess it's the bad rep on Litany.

TL;DR: When people try to mess with you OOCly, don't take it lying down. I think that's probably a reason as to why I usually end up being the leader. I am very simple, and I guess efficient. I don't take shit, and I am always ready to dish it out. I can be approachable and inconvenient, and I can be unapproachable and as inconvenient as the sun is for human colonization.

Hey some scuffles are starting between Idraei and Rastoa right now. Minor Idraei nobles are picking off holdings by a couple of minor Rastoa players, including my one. Gonna get some armies together to try and keep 'em out. I'm thinking the minor Idraei nobles will claim they were attacked if I prevent them taking over Rastoa settlements. Too bad for Idraei that they have so many slumbering provinces at the back there. That can end badly.

Unless the Halfhavens are actually someone from Bay12. I wouldn't be at all surprised at this stage.

[Insanegame27]

Well, Alex was going to set sail across the sea to join up with the new Bay12ers down South, but with this development I may keep him around for a bit. He's passed a few active Idraei nobles on his way and none of them have had over 45 soldiers with them. Piecemeal for Alex's 150+ soldiers. He's going to drop by a few independent provinces for some rabble meatshields. Although Alex, being a mercenary sponsored by Lu Bu, may choose to try and help Lu Bu reach his goal of uniting all of the West. That just got harder with Idraei being 50% OF the West. and Grand Fate being 25%.


Frankly, I think that the map's in its dying days. All of the small realms are being eaten by larger realms which are in turn being eaten by larger realms. Soon, the map may all be covered in a single color, which would be a shame, really.

[Reelya]

Idraei person at Thyrailva has 90+ soldiers including 37 med inf, 46 archers and some light infantry. I have a character delaying their takeover attempt, I have another character nearby with 86 medium infantry, but I'm not sure if that's a fight with good odds or not. If I can get into the city before the takeover, I think it is, otherwise not. Basically this guy and friends will run interference only in the southern Rastoa area.

Well so you know what I've got coming up, I have about 600 troops in the Cacame area who are mobilized or ready to be mobilized (which doesn't count basic garrisons), with 200 more being brought around the lake. The logistics is starting to get annoying however.

While I am not a Halfhaven I am married to one. I will admit that while my duchy was independent we did take some of the slumber blight areas of the children unless your talking about something recent. They are in fact saying the children attacked first and I was about to go to the capital of the Rastoa to see what was happening IC.

Alex can always restock at Reweston and/or Sol/Chrararingen/Luna. Armok knows how many I have. Not even counting Lu Liang Jiang's 530+ experienced soldiers wrecking shit in Mistheim

Oh, hey, Bu could use some interaction.

[Reelya]

I don't know about any other characters, but i have one character in Rastoa, Fineas Greybeard, and they have only occupied neutral settlements which have come under attack by Idraei recently, i.e. a few hours ago real-time. Nothing historic.

But it's someone from a small new county who only has 1-2 settlements. So i'm not saying it's an Idraei plot, but there are individuals who are just grabbing nearby settlements off actives in other nations without any communication or otherwise. Probably bad for Idraei itself in the long run.

[gamerscout]

oh then I know who in Idraei is doing it then. There is a new count who has been a dick and is not well liked in Idraei. Also your talks of 500 and 600 units is alot more then anything we got so if we do go to war Idraei is going to get owned hard.

[Reelya]

Yeah, i was mainly interested that someone give the person a word or two.

EDIT: meanwhile we got something cool in the works for the east of the lake area that should cause some nearby people to shit their pants.

[gamerscout]

Yeah he and his county broke from my duchy and I have already been secretly ordering bandits and loyal nobles to attack his land. He also did not break off to long ago I don't think it has been a more then a month. That might also be one of the reasons we are not as strong as we could be.

[Reelya]

What are Idraei's relations with Grand Fate and Ascalon like btw?

[Insanegame27]

Lu Bu would also like to know this for his grand plan. He wants the West to unite against the large realms and drive them from the West if they have other strongholds. Grand Fate has massive amounts of land elsewhere, for example.


Also, how long ago was Tyvian Lords absorbed? I know they warred with Sophronitis. I noticed that Sophronitis has been replaced by Suaralis and Soph has been shrinking. Has Idraei got anything to do with that?

[Reelya]

Idraei took most of the Sophronitis lands, though I have no idea about any diplomatic stuff.

Suaralis is probably a good bunch to support coz they're not the tentacles of Grand Fate.

[gamerscout]

I have not been with them long but it seems that Ascalon hates or did hate Idreai which is why they moved to the northwest. With the grand fate I think at the moment it is neutral but with my second char who is in Terra Vigila which is now apart of Idreai I am trying to get them to aid in getting Terra lands back from Grand Fate.

Edit: Man you guys must type a lot faster then me. Sophronitis and Tyvian Lords both suffered a slumberblight plague and got taken over by idreai and Xodor.

[Insanegame27]

So Alex is gonna be running around cutting shady alliance deals then we're all gonna get massacred when we rebel against Grand Fate's foothold
