I never once said it wasn't good strategy. In fact, I believe in a few posts back I said it was good strategy.

I was just stating at the degree of ease it was carried out under, and pointing out that its hardly something to boast over.

I am well aware of the problems with having a guild in the wild. And, yes, believe it or not, I prepared as best as I could. I had been building the fortifications for ages, but one person's work, wasn't enough to hold off that of many.

As far as me making poor choices, I was a born a Brigand into this situation. The Brigands and rangers had long hated each other, well before I was a member.

I was beaten and stripped when I couldn't even yet reach the treetops. By every ranger that was my superior. Where do you think I learned these tactics?

It is the actions of these 'honourable and respectable' rangers, that have breathed life into what I am now. It is their own fault for creating such hatred.

But unlike them, I do not constantly torment their young with stripping, verbal abuse, and I haven't made a point to keep all of them on dp, either. You people don't even pay attention to what is actualy going on. You believe everything you hear, and for the simple fact, you don't like me, it makes it all that much easier to take in and swallow.
