Hawks had a few too many tonight


What's up, what's up, what's up. Tim's back from moving to a new place, and he's got a tale for you.

After two weeks of inactivity caused by my lack of presence, we decided to get our shit together, get to the battlefield, and slay some darkspawn. All the boys and girls got together, donned their gear, and headed off into battle. First we encountered some oddly-moving Black Hawks, as well as a group from the North Pacific. The Black Hawks, after a good mix of wins, misses, and losing, decided that ten minutes was all they could handle tonight and headed back into the Deep Roads to inform the Arch-Demon of their lacking stamina. The NPA then moved into a pretty chilly region, and the cold must have messed up their targeting mechanisms because we strolled in and swept them out with ease. Following that, we decided to focus on our favorite child. Running with everyone's favorite darkspawn were some of the SPSF boys who wanted to make the game a bit competitive. We still beat them though because we had the SPSF Girlsquad on our side. Anyways, the darkspawn got sent packing home, the Libcord boys were back in town, and Serres continues to try to justify his slow moving speeds as some sort of "strategy".

For what it's worth, I promise that this line of questioning is not directly about Lazarus, nor intended to become yet another Lazarus discussion.


I'll quote Chamberlain Vincent Drake:

This isn't new, by the way.

As a followup, does the grey wardens consider Lazarus to be an internal conflict?

The Grey Wardens is the name of a region and therefore singular. If I were to ask "Do the grey wardens..." I would be asking for the opinion of it's membership rather then the the official position of the region. :geek:

I'd have had a sick update for minor too, but unfortunately it was not to be. Instead we saw The Roman Empire fail to trigger successfully even once during a 45 minute period.

Given that it has been well documented that the raider faction are our children and we are their daddy, we want it to be known that we're not mad; we're just disappointed.

Don't act like you guys are so great amazing because of these past two updates lol. Everyone knows that the last two updates were ones where Violet was switching the update times making it last longer. I would be more impressed if the big reports and gloating was done on updates where you do this well on your own which during some updates uou do and it is not because of update being lengthened which as an end result makes triggers loose and your job easier and the longer update not affecting you.

Btw I invite TGW to be more sporty with tag raids and chase manually as we and all regional armies besides Lily Manually trigger and raid. That is of course unless you need the key presses to be competitive during update.

Daddy has always been around in one form or another, handing spankings out to those that misbehave. The shape of the palm print might be ever-changing, but the heinies of naughty children have always and will always be red.

I see you're still willfully disregarding the differences between being the one to tag and being the one to chase. There is a ceiling to how fast we can move both manually and with a key press. The margin for error is small. Defenders are perfectly capable of moving within a second or two when the GO is called. We already have the page ready to go and just have to click move. That is not, however, what is demanded from defenders when they have to chase raiders.

Why even try to explain things to them? They told us for years to try harder and we have. Its their turn to try harder (while following the site's rules) and stop whining.
