So, Pyromaniacs, as most know, is taking an age off because we only had like 12 core left after retirements and so on. We manage to cobble together 24 from our randoms and some last minute recruits. We were 20 with two inactives our first war and so on. I am not sure I even should be calling us pyromaniacs, but that is another thread.
Enter: wsk
wsk is one of the "great" war KDs and makes a deal to war us commencing on April 20. We are within about 1K land of each other and within about 10K NW (iirc). So basically, no difference at all and then, to put a cherry on it, wsk is 25 provinces to our 24. Preparation for the war ensues.
At go time, wsk has done a ****ty job, has no money at all, and look like crap and are doing stupid things like running 20% forts and no GS. We lay 7 hits into them. They lay 7 hits back into us. Predictably, we come out ahead in the exchange.... we have GS.. duh. They are scared to give us the button (predictably) so we full wave them on our next go around. Then they send us a note saying they won't war now because it will be a farm war (like we want the acres... sheesh!) and they had terrible prep (yeah, that part at least is true) and then accuse us of getting outside gold!
News flash, no one had the tpa to steal outside gold and it is year zero/one, no one has outside gold to spare us, and you just clearly do not understand how much gold a halfling merchant can accumulate. It frustrates me to no end that such rudimentary and obvious things need to be explained to defend ourselves against the ludicrous.
So, wsk decides to lose their balls, tuck tail and run living up to their theme this age.
TERRIBLE! If this is what a premier war KD is now, you are simply TERRIBLE! You can't prepare, you can't war with a man up advantage over a KD of half randoms....
You should be ashamed of yourselves. You really should.
Terrible play capped by a deal break. I am calling you out on it publicly because that is the only justice we can likely get is to let everyone know, that you all can't keep a deal and are terrible terrible. May you be farmed into the abyss by your fellow war KD's this age. You deserve it.
