I felt entirely lost until I realized that Nicola edited Daeir's post, removing it and replacing it with her warning. Was sitting here doing calculus equations trying to figure out what the shit happened.
We really should stop complaining about Eleusis helping Targ. Sure, from an OOC perspective it's kind've shitty since it feels like it's stacking the deck, but from an ingame perspective it does make total sense that they'd want to give us a smack on the mouth.
Seems like it's more that all these people are 'helping' and then denying it. Eleusis saw the Targ deathsights, saw Mhaldor was already engaged and opted to pile on anyway. You saw the opportunity to skew the odds in favour of Targossas, while attempting to make your own mark. It's the Cyrene/Targossas thing all over again.
I'm Mhaldorian. Just clarifying since you used 'you and your'.
Oh yes, I know. That part of my reply was more to Andraste. But it's 5am and I'm tired and I don't feel like @ing people.

I heard nicola had edited posts and I was prepared for what trouble I was in this time.
You haven’t been enough of a flaming jerk on this forums thread obvs. How much did you pay for minifie’s account?

I think it brings up a good point, posting bounties on government officials seems like a strange way to go about things if every individual is worth the same amount. Some cities have more than others, some cities have dormant gov't officials, etc. Using it as an example, realistically we can only take bounties on Ashai, who won't fight because she's not a fighter. Then we have Stheno and Crixos, both of which are not typically on when our fighters are around. Zackery is dormant, meaning we can't grab that one. Maybe make the group of people worth 10 points divided by the amount of active gov't officials to even out the odds?
Actual footage of me fighting... (I am not the black one). Don't hate.
Pain sears your shoulder as a weighty claw presses down with the acknowledgement of Evil's Lord.
So a bit of history about the "Eleusis and Targ teaming" thing going on.
Eleusis sold tanks to Targ (and are likely to get shafted for it - rightly so).
2 Mhaldorians exterminated the Ithmias (4 or 5 rooms) the previous day, as well as incursions from Mhaldor as per the Tank selling over the past few days.
We decided to vivify - there was no combat between targ/mhaldor at the time we decided to group, the issue was we had abunch of novices who wanted to make some aliases so we ended up spending 30-40 minutes waiting for them. I was frothing at the bit and had already trapped most of the isle whilst waiting.
Eventually our novices said they are ready, and we decided to go in - at that time Mhaldor had decided to attack Targossas on the Eastern Reaches I believe - pretty opportune time to actually just vivify and get some green on the red and see what Mhaldor decide is mor important - Targossas and the war effort or plants.
Mhaldor come in and stomp us, Targ sees it as an opportunity ( I imagine? ) to take advantage of a bit of chaos.
We wiped, after that not sure what happened as I had to leave, but to say we "allied" with each other is not the case and purely speculation.
From an Eleusian perspective I wanted to get a bit of revenge for the exterms, at the initial planning time, Mhaldor was just sat in their city as was Targ, and after waiting best part of an hour to go, we went.
As an Eleusian who is ex Targ, I'm 100% against not allying with Targossas as we have differeing views about Nature and its stance within Creation ( not relevant for the forums ) and I see us aiding them as essentially helping a future enemy and want to see the Village stand on its own ( not likely given our current fighter capacity but who knows what the future holds ).
Sounds like just very unfortunate timing, but that's okay. Like I said, the chaotic three-way fights are super fun.
I mean, at the time you and Crixos both said to the war party that it wasn't coordinated. I don't care anyway MORE SKIRMISHES
Obviously we could tell it wasn't coordinated. I referred to planning to attack, but the group taking forever to get ready and then your target is already engaged with another! That's the unfortunate part. Personally I might have called off the attack, or hit another target, but I also understand wanting to get a fight in. It's not a big deal and not like Eleusis is doing this every time, and we'll happily fight them when the war's over some more!
It's understandable. In all reality, we can't really expect the other cities to put raiding on hold for an entire OOC month just because we're at war with another city. That's unrealistic and not very fun for them. Sure they could target other folks, but you know, if we're doing things like extermination, then we really should expect them to lash back by any means necessary.
