Transparency.
#4776

You spend a great deal of energy, far too much really, trying to goad the

fighters of Thakria into facing ridiculously long odds for your

entertainment. Your petty threats, childish insults, and general idiocy you

spout, shout and intone are uselessly transparent to us, and to those you

would try to influence with your rhetoric. You willingly vilify those a

quarter of your size, with fighting experience measured in months rather

than years, hoping to illicit some sort of enraged response that enables you

or your citymates to kill or rob your target. It is transparent, it is generally

useless and the rest of Avalon can only roll their eyes at your posturing

and chuckle. Give it a rest already.


I wonder now, after thinking about it further, to whom this post is really

directed. Perhaps I have taken it too much at face value, and your post is

really intended to be read by the flagging Springtown fighters who have

been getting shipped out of Thakria on a much more regular basis now

that our citizens are reaching a quarter of your size as opposed to

labouring under a might disadvantage of eight to one. Perhaps this,

coupled with the loss of tens of thousands of troops in your failed invasion

to no gain has the old guard in Springtown concerned. I can see now that

your post is actually a veiled effort to raise their spirits. Keep up the good

work. If recent history shows, they will need all the encouragement they

can get.
