The first I actually had fun participating in for a long time. Priest is pretty refreshing, I just need to sit down and work out more of my Kanai buttons.

From the time I logged in, it was Supreme! But I mean you guys are right, you only outnumbered us by two. I even started to calculate how outnumbered in artifacts we were, but then got bored.
Ashel (10:43:46 PM): the city that refuses to acknowledge when its dunked sides with the moral high grounders and the 'shit, its a fight, i want in' guys against the 'YEEHAW INDISCRIMINATE BLOODSHED' crew
"On the battlefield I am a god. I love war. The steel, the smell, the corpses. I wish there were more. On the first day I drove the Northmen back alone at the ford. Alone! On the second I carried the bridge! Me! Yesterday I climbed the Heroes! I love war! I… I wish it wasn’t over."
My apparent penchant for being invisible if everyone else dies and I'm the last one left. Happened twice in 30 minutes... how that happens, I'll never know.
Got to be honest, I had this image of the Khandava group collectively facepalming when magick all walked in and hit my deliverance for the second time.
Ambrose is just incredibly low on the threat-o-meter, what with his never-attacking-enough-to-be-noticed and all.

Sometimes it's better to keep certain people alive because they are more of a liability to their team (e.g. Shou when the team has anyone else dependent on limb damage). Or people like Septus who I ignore because he's tanky and knows how to play defensively – in half the time it would take to kill him, you could have killed everyone else in his team (mitigating potential casualties on your side).

The ring quotes were the best. There were honestly 8-12 lines of warning spam from Eldreth/Khizan/Ahkan to the tune of "don't hit Septus"
followed by various iterations of wtf, damnit, are you serious
this culminated with Khizan's lecture of "You don't have to hit him to find out if deliverance is up, just ql."
I don't think anyone but Eldy, and him only the first time, actually hit deliverance in demonic. It was such a clear and concise example of WHY we're happy to have demonic say lol to RP and step into the ring.
Eldreth was just a case of him getting greedy and thinking he could sneak another attack off before it went up. Sucks, but that happens to all of us occasionally.
Team Magick, though, was sticking their finger into the electric socket to see if the power was on. Oh well. LEARNING EXPERIENCE.

Haha, Menoch complaining about anyone's bad roleplay. I wasn't aware that the Diavlous were gang bangers.
-Mutual hatred has been enough roleplay to commit Stavenn to a fight (citation: Anything Menoch ever attempted to do, or #butthurt in his case)
-Khandava, having been raided and given shitty surrender conditions, took the moral high ground and pulled someone else out of the fire.
-Dudes just wanted to fight a bunch of windbag idiots. Kinsarmar was more than happy to accept aid.
It's happened in real life and in every long running sci-fi/fantasy story line. The enemy of my enemy can temporarily be my frenemy. Pretty sure Menoch accepted aid from Magick/Anti-magick while he was trashing Stavenn the first time, but at the time it was 'good' rp.
The difference is that when Khandava was given shitty surrender conditions, they were actually shitty and unreasonable.
100 diamonds is objectively a drop in the bucket. Their rejection was based entirely on pride (confirmed) and certain benefactors egging them on so they could step in (suspected and expected).
I don't particularly care about the rest, I just couldn't let that one go.
I also heart iced coffee.

As per usual, nothing you said makes much sense and no real pieces of truth were apparent, except for stating the obvious. Who's complaining? I'm happy to have more! Killing magick is boring. Getting stripped by roots and doppies, that's a good fun time. I admit, I'm not a paragon of RP like you because I don't pretend being blatantly ooc is being cleverly meta, and I guess I could learn a few things about how to RP in the style of yelling hashtags in random cities.

@Menoch: That's because you can't read and can't interpret what you read.
@Sarrius: Sure there was a bit of pride in there. The big problem was they didn't trust you (for good reason). Kryss and Menoch would likely never quit raiding/griefing. We're also all aware that you're unlikely to come down on them for being stupid. Why would Kinsarmar pay a ransom that would likely not stop the raids? Then they're out 2 sets of guards -and- 100 diamonds. We've already covered why your 'ransom demand' was crappy so we'll just leave that alone.
Look at it this way. You're one gang of organized crime who was extorting the local deli every Monday for money. They could either pay and get the shit kicked out of them next week, or invite the opposing gang to come play interference for free. Sort of an easy choice there. You really could have avoided this if you actually had a 'plan' going into this. Sadly, we know you didn't because you guys were bored and wanted pkpkpkpk.
Late edit: Actually, @Sarrius. If you were in Alvetta's shoes. Would you accept the surrender condition you offered her? Aka: With you as leader and you group of raiders, would you say yes to 100 diamonds?
There's 'The Ahkan' again, disparage, ignore directed questions/contradictions, change subject. You forgot your obligatory hashtag musthavelastword comment though.
ETA: What I -really- heart, in a terrible attempt to stay on subject, is how if you do something really truly horrible, and you have no remorse (pun intended!), over what you have done, you can just make a different character and keep logging in. We can call it the Shukron, but we all know it is also part of the Ahkan.
@Ahkan: I didn't have a plan because I logged in and ran with it. When Kinsarmar presented the desire to finish it, I said 'sure, but not emptyhanded'. My demands weren't unreasonable because I would have just ousted the troublemakers.
In your urge to discredit me and base your argument utterly on emotion and insults, you fail to observe my history of getting rid of people who go against my wishes while I am king of the castle. I don't blame you, but it is truly sad that you will stick to the same argument instead of rushing to label AM 'grieftown' because you feel a need to fabricate ethical and moral superiority.

That's actually the 'The Menoch." You really haven't raised any logical points of contention or demonstrated the ability to remain reasonable. At least Sarrius, Ambrose, Septus and everyone else (including me) can find mutual ground to agree upon, as we're all willing to admit there's a lot of murky grey area when you get into raiding. You're just rolling with your fingers in your ears , #thuglief, #insults #graffiti #daboss #yolo. To be honest, your demeanor is why people don't trust anti-magick :P

Deliverance. Can't get enough of it.

How Dem/Magick feels about fingers in ears?
