Jerks always knew cRAZiEs were eyeing their acres after failing to agree to an initial 5k acres for eoacf. They saw cRAZiEs pumping in fort.
cRAZiES wave date on Jerks was scheduled on Jan 5th initially.. I woke up at 6am and saw Jerks tagged as hostile stfo. I SN, and saw the hits started on Jan 2nd and were very slow hits. It was like ~10 hits over several hours.. I was like hmmm. expected that they would pull some stunt to run since they didnt want to give 5k acres for eoacf.. Well, I told my guys let's wait and see whether this hostile is real... I saw Mythos offered a CF and retalled 0 hits over the next few hours.. (meter 20-0)
After that, tetley messaged me asking me on whatsapp asking whether am I still interested in an eoacf for 1 hit on their top orc. and played the card that if I dont CF, they will farm out to #:# expendibles.

Since you want to farm out.. cRAZiEs are going to wave you first. We broke CF on Jan 14th and broke almost the whole of Jerks top half with troops home (because these provinces were too large to hit Mythos).
How expendibles played the age and how they gave eoacfs like candies at the start of their age is part of their strategic play. They were 8-10 core and were just chilling and only saw an opening to go for land crown when awar happened and things became chaotic. They used orc gains to their advantages. They managed to take advantages of opportunities well.
But doesnt mean expendibles giving free eoacf means their competitor needs to do the same. And certainly there shouldnt be a sense of entitlement for it. My setup requires more conflicts.. any good leader in my shoes would more or less play it the same way as me. Do I get potentially get more enemies because of this? Yes.
Honestly, I dont see the purpose of this thread. Jerks decided to have a blood bath instead of a deal. Ok, that's fine and cRAZiEs respect them for that decision..
Have fun.
