[planning] ePWS - the day after

[soiram]

This thread to discuss what to do after the ePWS date, ie

1) What we tell allies, powerful players, braindeads who have pp with DL

2) Who will quit, who will leave Morkin, who will continue until Solstice

3) Text to be put on our alliance page.

I plan to continue assuming we kill DL et al with small losses and her boyfriends see sense. The onto the solstice.

However if we are getting kicked by her sugar daddies, I am going to launch all I've got (which wont be much by then) with an insulting message to the biggest and baddest and most stupid players in the game. That should mean nobody associated with DL gets to colonise my isles!

[Natmus]

Personally I will not make up my mind about continuing before after LaT. Some depends on how it goes, some depends on if I want to continue. If many Morkins disappear after the war, I have an open invitation to several alliances based solely on my score, but I won't use them. It's Morkin or nothing for me. If Morkin disappears, so will I!

[soiram]

For me it also depends on the outcome of LaT. If anything is left and we are not the target of bullies, I am sticking with Morkin. The game per se doesn't do it for me, it was Morkin's advancement all around that made me play it.

I am quitting Inselkampf after we had our big bang (or big crunch...), for me also it was about working as a subset of Midnight /MU. The game itself is a dead end.

This was all new to me and I liked to try and now I know what it is and it just isn't okay for my general bloodpressure and I appreciate the sophistication of our Midnight games even better !

However, as long as I still have warships to send out to harass enemies I will keep logging on to send them out again and again and again, but I will not build up my isle when it's destroyed. I will continue with travian though, although that too is annoying.

Something like this if I get my way with October 25th:

This day is called the feast of Crispian:
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.

He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian:‘
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars.
And say 'These wounds I had on Crispin's day.'


Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day: then shall our names.
Familiar in his mouth as household words
Archibald_the_Grim, soiram and Ashimar,
andre and Iobath, Arminius and Freiegeister,
Be in their flowing cups freshly remember'd.

This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd;

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition*:
And gentlemen in Inselkampf now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whilst any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

With apologies to those not mentioned, I tried to keep the original flow of the speech when selecting names.

Understood, davidjwest wouldn't sound right and skulkrinbait would be very confusing! Actually it would be quite appropriate though

[Ringthane]

Is that Henry V?

I rise, thrive, hack, thrust, sway, fall but never bend and so what lies ahead but to go with ye.

[Freiegeister]

I'm considering playing on as I have unfinished business with Chaos. But I hear rumours that this big offensive we hear about could be Wraith's going away party - so it won't be the same if they all leave. Maybe I'll become a multi!

[sparrowhawk]

Could someone explain to me, as I'm confused (again). I thought tha the Solstice had been set aside for the original attack on the DL/PF alliance? And that it was moved to LaT. So in fact there are 2 planned attacks? Who are we going after on the Solstice?

[Perun]

Good question, JY! I'm a bit confused myself!

[SkulkrinBait]

The plan is to take DL/PF soon, before the end of Oct. If we are still strong enough we go for Winter Solstice afterwards, those who want to.

Yes, but go for what Dave? The same targets? Or Avinalaff, that tosser?

[SkulkrinBait]

Concentrate on DL/PF first then we can decide.

[soiram]

PWS had two objectives:
1) Take out DL/PF
2) "Hit and quit" attack on some big bad enemy

Operation LaT= PWS's first objective.

As this is bound to have serious reprecussions AND since many are already getting bored of STs there is a big chance that we won't live until the real Solstice, so we might need to go for objective 2 earlier than expected, hence early PWS (ePWS).

Hope this is all clear now.
