Wasted our Naquadriah on Darth Revan! WTF? Jesus motherfucking christ.

He's probably laughing his ass off right now.

It seems that in 20 minutes, virutually every member of ClusterFuck, with the notable exception of Destroyer and a few of the bottom guys, went down in rank. For most it was a drop from between 1 and 20 ranks. Sabben fell 600 ranks--sucks to be him.

I think they anticipated the attack. Right as I began my assault, I was sabbed to little effect by an unknown assailiant. That and Destroyer's defense value was restored to full power in the middle of the assault. Methinks we have spys in our midst.

EDIT: Apparently I spoke too soon. In the latest update, Destroyer takes a hit, falling from 140 to 863! Way to go guys! Otherwise the overall downward trend continues, though at a slightly increased rate (10 ranks instead of 3 ranks).

Darth revan has delievered an ultimatum:

I have been talking to some friends of mine and if you do not give your immediate uncondisional surrender you and your entire alliance will be destroyed this is your last chance. I warn you I have been given permission to use every resource I have witch is several alliances oh ya you will also be paying back naq and units that whereaboutsabouts lost because of your rediculis attempt at war. for gve any miss spellings I have not slept in many days and am getting tired

Before you respond, I have to come clean: Minutes before the attack, Revan PMed me, telling me he suspected I was making offensive advances against his alliance (who knew

). When I told him he suspected correctly, he offered "negotiations" to avert conflict. I declined, telling him that reperations had to be made in blood. However, I did respect that he at least had the courage to speak with me, so I alerted him of the impending attack (so no spy npisd), no specifics, but enough for him to try to protect his weaker members. I had hoped he would regard this conflict as an honorable combatant in return for my gesture.

So what say you, my warriors? Am I at fault? Shall we submit?
Or do we continue, and resolve this when the battle is done?

I would rather go out fighting. If I wanted to play it safe I wouldn't have lead the first wave. It is noble he tried to avert war though. A little late to ask us at the 11th hour but still noble. And I think he's bluffing.

Also if sleep deprivation has impaired him to the point of misspelling "forgive" that hideously, then he needs to stop playing and go to bed.

I just got kicked from the alliance somehow, and I'm asking to rejoin so I can get back in on the battle. That being said, if that guy was serious, it could mean a lot of trouble. Better to live to fight another day.

However, if you are going to seek peace with them, you can't do an unconditional surrender. We have our honor to uphold.

It's weird, I don't seem to be able to reaccept anyone right now. I keep on getting that "no modifications" screen. Hopefully it will fix itself by tomorrow. Continue fighting now if you wish, or stop; I hope to have you back in the fold soon.

However, if you are going to seek peace with them, you can't do an unconditional surrender. We have our honor to uphold.

I was thinking along similar lines, and I shall respond as such. Negotiations, perhaps, but never complete surrender.

Pay back the naq and units? Tell him to go fuck himself. This "wah wah you will pay me back for what you destroyed" shit I keep seeing from the people obsessed with this game is old.

That's probably my fault as I left. Read your messages, I posted something about a tax plan during the night that you most likely will find in your favor.

Disciples of Fire seems to be taking some interest in our battle. I've already recieved one threat that continued conflict will bring their military weight down on us in alliance with Crystalforce, and another inquiring as to the origins of our war, for consideration on who to support.

You told them, and let them armor up? Hell, you think they care about their lower members? FUCK NO! They just sold everything we could hit them with! Hell, they just sold everything that was hitable, then stayed online in the armory repairing as we(seven) hit them with everything we had!

Oh well, for future refrence, any war data needs to be on a private forum, and you NEVER tell the enemy.

Soontir C'boath · Post by **Soontir C'boath** » 2006-02-23 11:27pm

I don't even know how this 'war' started.

Indeed, I suspected as much. Nevertheless, I felt somewhat honorbound to tell them something, considering their offer, which I could not accept until after the assault. Still, I only gave warning (no specifics) about ten minutes before the attack started; I think we got a lot of them still unprepared.

I don't even know how this 'war' started.

To be honest, I can't think of the specifics myself. I believe it had to do with farming, and their subsequent unresponsivness, though.

Ehe, sorry, I sorta leaked the fact that war was declared when Gordash threatened to attack in kind.

I just checked my messages. That tax plan sounds like it could help me a lot, and stop people from farming me overnight.

Gah, you people don't know how to wage war! Don't give out secrets!

I don't know about this. Many of them have dropped in rank but not by as much as I expected. Some we certainly cought unawares. Others seem to be holding up rather well. I think they did have forewarning and more than just Noble Ire's warning. Their resistence doesn't look organized. If only we could see who was online, then we'd know for certain.

EDIT:

We have such excellent security.

Imperial Overlord's post from about half way down:

Imperial Overlord wrote:In Chaos wars, a Darth revan has been hitting me hard. I would appreciate punitive action.

Darth revan

So yes, it was a member getting farmed. Obviously, we should have just ignored it.

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2006-02-23 11:44pm

Yes. A sab plus a gutting hit early in the game.

Noble Ire · Post by **Noble Ire** » 2006-02-23 11:55pm

After PMs with The Disciples, and Revan himself (who seems to have calmed down a bit), I think we can start negotiating a cease-fire.

So, I am hearby ordering a temporary halt of attacks on Crystalforce. You have all done well; it could have gone better, but I think we made our point.

Ender · Post by **Ender** » 2006-02-23 11:58pm

Followed by them declaring war on us.

As for this attack, telling them what was going on as bragging points or because it is honorable... what part of "war" did you guys not quite get? Its not to look big and bad, its not to be honorable, its to fuck the other guy up beyond all recognition.

This is what I was talking about when I said make sure you have a winning hand. Walk away if you don't know all the cards in play.

Negotiations had better not involve reparations.

Soontir C'boath · Post by **Soontir C'boath** » 2006-02-24 12:03am

The only outcome I like coming from this is that Destroyer sold all his defensive weapons which was in the millions. Not one of us could've probably touched them and he sold them at a loss.

That's the only thing good coming out of this. Selling their weapons at a loss.

Noble Ire · Post by **Noble Ire** » 2006-02-24 12:04am

I assure you, they will not. If they demand them, the most they will get is a symbolic pitance out of my own pocket, if that.

I shall keep that in mind if and when war is again necessary.

That and he lost almost half of his 300 super troops when he sold them.

I've recieved a offer from Disciples of Fire as to joining their alliance. It's a racial deal, my race leader is trying to unite the Ori. He also has a neat little lottery set up for members of his alliance. Would anyone resent me if I joined my Ori bretheren? It's especially inviting after the debacle Thursday.
