The past is exactly that. Now we have a chance to rebuild this broken world. Maybe this is the place to do it. Who will you/your town work with? Who not? Stats? Post here and lets see if we can shape a balanced world. It would help if grudges were put aside, but please be honest if they arent. We can work with some constraints as long as they clearly on the table.
Frankly Chuck, I am not quite sure why you think anyone has died & left you in charge to make demands of anyone or any town. Since no one on our side seems to know you, I'd advise some back the truck up or a nice big cup of MYOB unless we get confirmation from the project leaders that you are in fact running things over there
Since the project formed, taking the bulk of our stronger fort fighters with it, what did you guys expect, that the numbers we were left with would suffice? All of the gold guns/uber tanks sit on one side, so outnumbered or not, ball is still in your court even with the addition of GC to Merc's. check any recent fort battle, the stats don't lie about the HP. Full or not on your side, you are still able to take the other side down.
And while you guys had your plans up your sleeves for a long time, nothing was said to us to give us the opportunity to keep the field level, hence the big bite me, we won't play your game. You see what that crap has done to other worlds, yet insist on brining it to W10? What kind of sense does that make? You failed elsewhere, so try again in another world?
When you are done effectively killing off yet another world, sit in your sandbox alone & ask yourselves why no one wants to play with you.
