Just for the record, the offensive into Aurvandil had been in planning for over a month. It may have been what you had hoped we would do, sure. But we had already made the decision to do it before you invaded Barca.

This was planned before our invasion of the Grand Duchy of Fissoa, which in part was done to get D'Hara to attack Falkirk (Making them our wasp cake) and as an analogue to see how much damage we could do with a third of total forces looting overseas for a week.

All Mendicant and Allomere do is spend hours discussing plans based on everything we think our opponents might do and then deciding on what we think is the best long term course of action to ensure our complete victory under any circumstance. Aurvandil never does anything that isn't intended to have multiple consequences so that if the main reason behind it fails, the secondary or tertiary reasons don't, that we we always advance our war aims regardless of the outcome. The invasion of Barca, for example had about five distinct and separate reasons for doing it, and all them were successful. The invasion of the Grand Duchy had about four, and they were all mostly achieved.

Had Larur or Chesland been defended, we simply would have landed on a beachhead secured by Asylon.

For you, perhaps. Though you're about to lose an ally.

If I thought Falkirk was in any danger, I'd have sent everything Aurvandil has to defend them. Besides which, Aurvandil still has armies nearby if they're needed, we're not so clumsy as to throw everything against Terran, especially when we don't need to.

I'll believe all the nonsense about Falkirk falling when I see it. But Lex and his Averothoi don't fall easily and not to the level of foe presented to them currently.

Having Asylon raid Terran, withdraw and deny battle forcing Terran to advance on them was the plan from the start, alongside provoking Terran to attack Aurvandil in our own regions so we could defeat their army (As we hoped they would when we camped in Twainwood for four days waiting for them) force them to slowly refit with heavy casualties and captured nobles just before the turning of winter to give Asylon the maximum possible chance of success in a campaign against Terran. Almost worryingly Terran did everything Mendicant wanted them to do every step of the way since the start of the attack on Barca up until this point.

It's always nice when everything goes as intended.

That may be true for Terrran, but it is not the same for D'hara and Barca. Also, since Aurvandil likes to attack cities, militia is good for winning those battles.

Allomere is a proven wall breaker, no fortification has stood against us successfully.

That's funny, how come SA has all the friends, and Aurvandil is stuck with Asylon 

Isn't it obvious? 'Cause we're too cool for school, swag and all that (whatever the kids are saying these days).

A far better parallel would be that SA has convicted Mendicant of a crime, and as he is being dragged off to to the gallows, he is screaming that he doesn't accept it.

An even better parallel would be that Sanguis Astroism want to convict Mendicant and drag him off the to the gallows, but Mendicant doesn't accept it and stands in front of them simply declining, and Sanguis Astroism are powerless.

Sanguis Astroism sounds like the antisocial kid in the classroom corner.

Think of this like the Joker trying to get the Batman's attention in THE DARK KNIGHT. The Joker continuously blows things up, takes hostages and even attempts to kill Rachel in attempt to force Batman to retaliate. Batman kind of loses his cool a little bit at first, but by the end of the film he's just like "Meh. Joker, I have caught you in my net, so to speak, but I will not do what you want me to, I will not harm you. Instead, I will just leave you hanging here so that others may deal with you. I've got to go talk to Harvey Dent now, later!" So, as you can see, Indirik, the SA players desperately want to forge a rivalry between themselves (the Joker) and Mendicant (the Batman), however their shrill voices and pathetic attempts at mischief are of no avail and the Batman simply bothers to keep them from causing trouble -- nothing more. This is why you cannot make Mendicant your enemy. He simply does not care for your shenanigans. He is not the hero you deserve.

That is an insanely accurate and concise way of putting it.

He already is.

As I said, Mendicant's permission is not required. He can decline all he wants, but it is irrelevant.

Oh I'm sure Sanguis Astroism has convinced themselves of that, deluded fellows that they are.

He can decline all he wants. That doesn't mean that the label couldn't be hung on Mendicant, assuming that's what SA would want to do. You really have little to no control over how someone else refers to you, or how they view you. You can "decline" all you want. It simply doesn't matter. Mendicant has already done everything that needs to be done. No further actions is required, meaningful, or relevant.

Yers, they'd like Mendicant to be their enemy wouldn't they?

SA could destroy Aurvandil... Falkirk is basically dead, and now Luria Nova and Fissoa would have been ready to join in on the fight. But they would have needed to massively fund the 'moot for this to happen. As they didn't care for this to happen, and as the 'moot is pretty much going back to peace with Aurvandil, I can quite easily see the whole coalition falling apart, everybody taking Asylon's destruction as the victory required to go back home without the morale-crushing image of defeat and move on to other things.

Sanguis Astroism have failed every attack, can't raise the army Aurvandil can, can't fight a campaign so far south.

Falkirk is basically dead? Oh well, they're irrelevant. But they're alive as they need to be in order to be my wasp cake. Not that Mendicant will let them fall, it's not going to happen. Realms only fail after all, by choice, you never fall unless you intend to.

I'm not sure whether you're upset about something you can't change, or just misunderstanding.

It doesn't matter what Mendicant is, does, or says; it won't change the fact that he and Aurvandil have become a unifying common enemy for at least much of Sanguis Astroism. This is something that it's probably too late to change by any one person or small group; it's just become part of the common culture/mindset of SA.

The term is indifferent, not upset.

Sanguis Astroism can believe whatever they like, Mendicant just declines to be their next Haruka.

No, its cool. I seriously have never felt more insulted on this forum ever. Generally this !@#$ that I read about me on this forum rolls off but that one was seriously hit me super hard, because Glaumring might be a cocky asshead but I don't play my character like whoever said I was saying !@#$ like that... Seriously felt like wtf ... Im cool, but realize Glaumring is cocky but I aint no coward.

Yers, they would have Mendicant believe Glaumring was acting as the king of Asylon and Aurvandil. Mendicant knows better than that.

Well if it was SA telling you that, don't worry about it. They are aching so bad right now for a crusade. I have been chatting with Mathurin , chatting or ranting I can't remember which but we are hardly enemies in the sense that everyone wishes us to be. He did say I sounded like 'Allison Kabrinski' my retort is that his followers act like her... Either way there is a large contingent of coward players in SA  who wouldn't be able to beat this !@#$ out of a paperbag if it blew in their face on a windy day. And they use the church constantly to hide behind because they are incapable of surviving without it. They have an awful lot of jealousy and bull!@#$ that spews out of their mouths but they wouldn't dare fight as an underdog or even dare make a step out of line. At least in Asylon we take on half of Dwilight and we don't hide.

I can tell, Sanguis Astroism really want Aurvandil and Asylon to be their next League of Free Nations.
