There is not a single KD backing up Simians in this conflict for whatever it matters.
You choose to beleive what you want. Have you seen any other notices being handed, have you seen anyone stealing absalom.
I am fine with going 1 on 1 vs Rage if they initiate it by being the KD that first starts a dragon and break a CF term even.
I also welcome Sanctuary to a 1 on 1 if they rather do it instead of Rage.
What i know and realize thou is that the only one that will be strong enough to handle Simians in a few hours is HoH (HoA). They gonna be blocking so Sanc/rage picks up on round 2 or 3.
Will HoH hit us if we hit Rage?
Will they all claim they are randoming?
Will Sanc hit us if we hit Rage?
Will Rage hit us if we hit HoH?
Will Rage dragon us if we hit HoH?
Imo absalom is prob weak and scared enough to not let us hit who we want.
All banks on absalom side seems weaksauce and Rage is very low on nwpa only a few hours before fight is meant to go down. HoH is the only KD that really is prepared. Since HoH is more then likely going to target Simians when CF is over.
Both Sanc and Rage was rejected when they asked for a CF. So ofc they have to send HoH at us and powerplay now. I mean either Sanc or Rage can handle us on 1 on 1 now so they have to do something.
Also they benefit from helping HoH. (Even if they claim HoH is not absalom)
(HoH always get package deals when doing diplomacy with absalom).
It is not uncommen that Dorje, Proteus or someone else speaks in behalf of HoH.
They can do this, all they have to remember is that we will do the same thing to them.
Starting dragons in CF for instant. Possibility is that we send dragons and hit into their hostile as well.
Absalom makes the rules ofc. The ball is theirs. They just start this off in a terrible way.
Rage is to scared to even war, so is Sanc. So they send lapdog HoH and help them out as much as possible prob.
