While no secret baka likes to brag a bit, you are at least a degree worse on that front than baka. You consistently brag about achievements and records.
False. I got my killers hit in a hostile by Drixx (Fury I think?) and later turned it it was because Hawk told him/them to do it :p
I would rather call it known/good. Famous/legendary are only for a select few IMO. Of course he's not terrible (except that one time were #teamFeyr+prot bounced like 3 of his hits in a row!), but the same can be said about baka. I can't really judge their leading skills, but both are capable of running a province without being micro'd. That's worth quite a bit when recruiting. The less micro needed, the easier it is for a leader. Kind of like how Zauper posted earlier, about not needing to worry about who to pool up if said province is in best spot to be pooled.
Proteus has strong ties with Absalom due to his past, so taking him into Emeriti is no real surprise.
As for last age, Emeriti and Pyro had the strongest OOP's. CR then got smashed by Pyro, so by then Emeriti had probably won the age already. While the 2 warred, Emeriti was able to whore. Early on, whoring beats warring (except a mintime farm). Based on that it wasn't really a surprise.
Sure, later FS gave it a shot but their setup/science was inferior to Emeriti's. That fight was more a question of how much Emeriti would gain rather than if they would win.
I think fights you can't really lose are a bad comparison to what Korp probably means. A 50/50 fight is probably the best benchmark, but they rarely happen. You can say you beat CR, but you beat like a half CR due to the odds.
And in Panda's defense, they lost from an inferior position to us last age (even tho we didn't want the war lol) and they did 'beat' Jesters this age while coming from a dealbreak (I think longterm they would have gotten a 50% win).
