Let me begin by saying that this post is very non conventional. If
anyone is offended by the nature of -how- I must express my beliefs, I
apologize. However, this issue is black-and-white, and there is no other
method I can envision to describe what follows; I wish to share:

To begin, I shall answer your question Alastra, "If you [The Alliance]
are so vastly superior to our low redudant mental capacity' (I guess
killing everyone over and over is kind of redundant), how is it two
Gods, two cities, the Duiran Council and three guilds' can't seem to
win?" Simply put, you are violating the war system by exploiting it.
However, you are not alone. Spirokai, Razhan, Daelar, Maliquai, and
company are involved.

For reference I refer you to ANNOUNCE 86. I quote, " Please note as well
that the war system in general is meant to be fairly well balanced.
There should never be a situation, in other words, where more you get
something for nothing - such as killing off a large division of enemy
troops while your own troops take no losses at all. No matter how clever
it may be, if you find a way to do something like this, it's a bug and
must be reported." As we are -all- aware, ignorance is never an excuse.

Would you care for a little evidence, Alastra? Ok, fine... you "win"
this time:

"Alastra has been slain by the might of a legion of ninety-seven undead
scourge."

"Maliquai has been slain by the might of a legion of ninety undead
scourge."

"Alastra has been slain by the might of a legion of eighty-six undead
scourge."

"Daelar has been slain by the might of a legion of eighty-three undead
scourge."

"Alastra has been slain by the might of a legion of eighty undead
scourge."

"Spirokai has been slain by the might of a legion of seventy-seven
undead scourge."

"Razhan has been slain by the might of a legion of sixty-seven undead
scourge."

During this time, I was around in mistform. Guess what? You had -no-
troops near the scourges. You were beyond a shadow of a doubt, "killing
off a large division of enemy troops while you own troops take no losses
at all."

Alright, let's break this down to the bear bones. What does this all
boil down to? The war system revolves around city based economy. It
takes commodities and resources to build and maintain an army. As a
result, a city who cannot make consistent efforts to maintain a steady
flow of such cannot hope to keep an army (or even, keep an opposing army
at bay). What you and your crew have done is blatant abuse to this, the
sole reason why you are "winning."

With unending concern,

Irawn.


P. S.

I currently have no idea how low the scourge count is or if they still
exist. I tire of wasting my time against the likes of you. On a final
note, your method is fine against city guards. Troops, however, are a
completely different topic as they are different entities entirely.
