Obviously Elders won the first part of the war against LaF, LaF had just been hit by 10 suiciders and was in netting mode whereas Elders had prepped for a war against SOL. It fits in perfectly with the theme of "Elders only picks fights they can win." Once SOL, Stones and iMag came in (i.e. a fair war), LaF recovered to end up finishing with more net than Elders.
LaF was never going to win the war on their own, that's not what LaF had prepared to do that set. But with SOL, LaF won. And Elders lost, despite bringing in 2 war ready alliances. And unlike LaF, Elders came into this set with the goal of beating a war alliance, which it failed to do, yet again.
Lemme start just by pointing out that I did tell Maki I thought sol would win the war. Or at least I thought in advance elders would at least get rolled out. We also didn't bring in imag. They were already coming. Also stones was going to hit someone so having them come in on our side made more sense to make the war more fun than coming in and dropping a g on the other side. End of the day, I'm about fun factor. We managed to take a pile of unfair wars that were to happen this set, and made one big fun contest. And again, that's what matters most to me. Stones was ready to pound something and had they jumped imag or elders, we all would have had significantly less fun. Less chances to wall for your side and just a general smashing. Idk. I'm totally fine with losing if it is a good time. The set prior to this should be a good example of how to build a war that wasn't fun for either side because it was so 1-sided. This war was anything but and therefore was more fun for all, win or lose.
It's interesting to me, Maki, that you don't count SC. Granted their presence was chaotic but Stones was pretty focused on killing them while elders and imag essentially killed sol together. In a sense you aren't counting the ally that bailed you out haha. I still say they scored as good a win as any.
Also, after laf was tk'd, they we're virtually left alone while the other arms of the war raged on. I would hope they'd be able to salvage some Nw after hardly being hit at all. Just saying. Once you die once, we move on. No pride in killing busted up restarts. Sometimes we kill syko a couple extra times but we had, for the most part, moved on. Elders got tag killed much later in the set.
But yeah. I think we all won by having a fun war. That was good times. Two snaps. Sc will be along to confirm shortly.
