It's funny.
When Absalom or catty pull out of war, it's considered a 'strategic withdrawal,' and hailed as the greatest thing since sex, but when I do it to preserve my gains, it's not smart at all.
Double-standard much, anyone?

They don't brag about their perfect war win scores, as they know that any top kingdom can at any time have an opponent who might beat them... as Brute Force was beaten by Ballers... and Ballers withdraw then.Quote:

When you brag and start a "pride war" your aim is the win, not the acres.
So no... there is no doubble standards at anybody else but you. Next time don't hit your chest with a brick to show how tough you are...

Giving up a war win for some crappy acres and NW, doesnt sound like a win for VT2. It could be a win for Copycats, but not for a War Win collector and 7/7 boaster.
when Catwalk did the tactical withdraw, people made fun of him for many ages and some are still making fun of him
i dont remember any absalom kingdom ever doing that in recent ages, but even if they did, the only people applauding them would be their friends. and they most certainly wont say they "won" the war
regardless of who got the ww...and like i already told vt2 based on the results of the war he won...had it gone on longer that may have changed, but it did not so although he did not get the WW he did get the land he was after.
Besides it was a smart tactical withdraw....he pulled out right before our next incoming wave...if it is not considered at the least intelligent to take what you can and run then most of utopia is idiotic.
For the record the only reason we had no intentions of withdrawing is because we were getting good gains at that point...even if some of our attackers had to double or triple tap...
well said sully.
There is nothing wrong with claiming victory by withdrawing. But running up and down walls about WW and then claiming victory by withdrawing makes you look like a silly nub who can't make up his mind.
A tactical withdrawal only works if your goal is acres or land. A WW kd taking a tactical withdrawal is pretty much the opposite of what you want to do.
is his kingdom after the warcrown this age though?
Nope.
Doesn't matter. That war was not about land gains, but the win. VTnub pushed the button and lost the war. That's all.Quote:

I was in the Ballers vs BF war and i can tell you to pull such a perfect withdrawal you had to be French.
VT2 is not French. He's Swedish so there's your answer, everyone stfu now.
This thread sucks. Flame Flame Flame Flame.
Sully won.
VT2 won with acres and NW.
THATS IT.
Tactical withdrawal, on paper VT2 won, but as far as the "war win" Sully won, thats it. Why go into detail? Its over everyone knows the outcome why debate it.
By the way Sully Black Shoes was once in my Kingdom....
want him back?
tactical withdraw = tactically withdrawing so your kingdom dont get pwned in the long run!
if ur goal is acres u can plan ur war so u gain a desirable amount of acres and/or honor within the planned time period, but that does not mean if the war drags on infinitely u will be able to win
the only exception to that is if ur kingdom have other plans and cant afford to be slowed down by a war, in which case u r willing to sacrifice the ww to move on
