  1. ^ just getting started early before demand begins to exponentially rise at around page 3
  2. It was a good time being the baddies with you, fellas - until our next villain venture!
  3. Happy birthday to the Guardian community! never actually knew Guardian on LW was originally a merger, neat
  4. the potatoes in this peace deal are going to be unreal
  5. Mayor and TKR is not the cross-over episode I expected, but I'm absolutely down for this arc. Because he's the hero TKR deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A Dark Knight.
  6. I still see way more options available with the alternative of not intervening against Midgard with nada CB. Essentially, the opposite of what Kev thinks - I find there was a 100% chance we'd counter in this circumstance, nobody in our shoes would sit back while a top 5 intervenes for another top 5, with zero formal ties in a war that shouldn't really have anything to do with either of us. Meanwhile, coming at Wayward without a CB ourselves conveniently before the NAP ends? There are other spheres in this game who I can't imagine would be fans of a display like that. We very well could've had our own Guns & Roses. This is assuming we didn't have definitive evidence of coalition building (like we do now, thanks for the self-leaks homies), but even then there exists justification for the effort (you'll notice that I'm not blaming you guys for coalition building in the slightest, I would in your shoes to protect my interests). Finally, coalition building ain't easy from what I hear - there are a lot of variables to go sour before and while it triggers. Making a move like that on our end could be premature and result in massive and long-term FA backlash. Ultimately, you are right, we will never know if sitting out would've been better. 😬
  7. (promise I'm still working on it Hodor xoxo) I mean, there's not much pre-emptive about this situation on our end imo. again, I'm just reading the room here, but there was no reason for intervention from Ouroboros until Cata made their move - we reacted to that pre-emptive action explicitly made to save their future coalition-mate from an unrelated rolling (so, perhaps I was wrong, I guess a pre-empt of a pre-empt?). Cata joining the war was inherently linked to Ouroboros, self-admittedly, so of course we get involved to some extent. It's silly that we are all involved in the first place (more on that later). I am incredibly self-righteous, but I'm not so interested in preaching philosophy these days. Dust off the soulless husk of abbas' nation for that.
  8. What gives you the confidence to say that there was a 100% chance we'd hit you before the NAP ended, exactly? (a 100% chance on that, but a slim slim chance of Ouroboros not joining this war in some form...) That's a genuine question, because there's plenty of room for doubt on that, lmao - our split with t$ was cordial, why go for their head? Even with you and Keegoz thirsting around Orbis for our coalition-based defeat. I'm relatively sure our priorities have lied elsewhere this NAP, like rebuilding and recovering from our back-to-back wars. That aside, how do we get from TKR getting rolled to TKR not being available for the coalition in January? This war wouldn't have gone on for months. It's not easy to launch into an offensive soon after a loss, however I think TKR could've accomplished that still being alongside at least HOGG and Wayward. lol no, I'm not that deep. So in my eyes? Strategic/political interests, naturally - TKR is our rival and of course beef remains from the HW-Celestial war (as evident in t$ not being in interested in sacrificing themselves TKR, I'd say). Plus while it doesn't shatter (or, it wouldn't have shattered) the coalition that they were clearly building, it certainly weakens it. (will try to loop back around to Hodor later here, although as mentioned by you my response to Kev might also apply)
  9. Honestly, Hodor, here's where I get quite confused. Discussing this on the assumption that Ouroboros had been gunning for Wayward (personally, Cata isn't even in my top 3 vendettas), how is this the best option for survival? No matter which way this played out, joining this war was a mistake. Ouroboros would not simply sit by and let Cata join this war to bail out TKR. The outcome had to either be: 1) Cata gets countered by Eclipse or Rose, t$ does not join the war, Cata gets rolled. 2) Cata gets countered by Eclipse or Rose, t$ does join the war, t$ gets countered by whoever stayed in reserve and gets rolled, Cata gets rolled. 3) Mystery option three where this is somehow not a terrible idea and things just work out If there's a route to outcome #3 that I'm missing, I'd love to hear it. Until then, I interpret it as between these two results, in which Cata gets rolled regardless for joining the war. Outcome #2 would've just had the bonus of dragging t$ down with you on this path to self-sabotage. Especially now that we seem to be going scorched earth on the coalition plans for January, it really seems like you guys flat-out played yourselves. Why not decide to let TKR & Friends eat a loss? They can handle it. Then Wayward likely remains intact and you all proceed with the grand plan to prevent the devil incarnate that is Ouroboros from swallowing Orbis, alongside its tail, in January. It was obvious that a coalition would be forming for the end of the NAP, that's not surprising in the slightest, it's shooting the coalition in both kneecaps that's keeping me puzzled.
  10. I love a man who brings his own smoking gun to the party. πŸ₯΅ The more the merrier, if you ask me!
  11. Good luck out there, sport! Great to see a new player engaging with the community! at this rate, you might just become the sole leader of Orbis or something
  12. if anyone's wondering, Rose is on reserve just in case FSO decides to join the fray
  13. uh oh, three's a crowd! but four... πŸ‘€
  14. A belated but very happy birthday, House Stark, may you continue to age ❀️
  15. if you make a properly abominable war version of the holiday flag, that just might conversely lead to the most actually pretty expected (and holy πŸ™) team-up in P&W history - and boy would I be reluctant, for sure, I definitely haven't been sitting here drooling puddles at the sight of @Kyubnyan with 60 spies and on Fortress
  16. hah! nice try, Morf - don't think your flagrant sphere name revision is going to fly, bucko, Withheld or bust
  17. a stunning cultural victory by NW over TKR-sphere, job well done gentlemen
  18. this is cool and all, but just to be clear - if this war lasts until Christmas season and you guys fly some lame war flag instead of what I sit in anticipation for πŸ‘ all πŸ‘ year πŸ‘ long, my fury will lead to the most unholy of team-ups in P&W history (also, nice DoW!)
  19. I am mildly disappointed by the lack of "Carthago delenda est" but have fun nevertheless!
  20. TKR members after having finally caved and been convinced to sell their nuke stockpiles just weeks/months ago:
  21. Little does Orbis know that I strongarmed Ouroubourous FA to force a NAP so that I don't burn out. GGO spy ops are too precious to not micro-manage personally. Guardian in particular was a thrill as always - kept me on my toes and led to me learning a couple new strategies. Also I got nuked by both Samwise and Belisarius (birthday nukes!) this war! I am radiating with joy (and radiation) \o/
  22. Shhhhhhh. Back into the Rose dungeon, Kastor. Looks like you got lost.
  23. Those downvotes are delicious. Looking forward to working with you all!
