MM/RP ToP Blood Spirit/ Clan Wolf Strana Mechty HW 2538 (1605/1806) *COMPLETE*

[NVA]

Whatever.  Gratz on your win.  Wolves are defeated by superior numbers.

[tassa_kay]

Um, WTH?  "Superior numbers"?  We're at even FP!  

You know what?  Screw it.  If the Wolves want to surrender, I'll gladly take up the leash.  I'm tired of listening to people whine when they lose, especially when they do it OOC.  Getting ridiculous at this point, so I'm taking the above as a surrender.

RP post forthcoming.

[NVA]

Yes.  Superior numbers.  you know, when you guys added .7 FP into the fight to reeven it after losing the first round.  So, 3.5 CBS v 2.8 CW.  Last I checked, that is more FP.  You guys choose to take the hit on honor by needing to have your Khans elite unit call in more troops to defeat just a standard, veteran Wolf unit.  You did what you felt you needed to do to make sure you won.  I said, congratz, you win.  I too am tired of nearly every clan player telling me the Wolves are dishonorable, weak, etc, and yet very few are willing to face us in truly honorable and even combat.  then ,it is ignored that a 3 to 1 bid or needing to call down more force says 'Shoot, the Wolf is stronger than me and I need an advantage to beat them.'  Sorry Tassa...Your faction chose to toss aside some of their honor by calling in greater numbers when we grabbed the advabtage in comba  So, yes, superior number.

[tassa_kay]

OOC: Well, first of all, you need to learn how to deal with your IC problems... I don't know, IC, perhaps?  Do you see ME whining OOC because Holt exploited the rules to destroy half my WarShip fleet at Schwartz?  Do you see ME whining because Holt nuked the other half of my fleet at Roche?  No, I dealt with both of these issues IC, and I didn't get mad in the slightest.  I rolled with the punches, because one has to is one is going to play a game of this nature.

Now, did you see ME whining OOC when we started to lose the simres here on Strana Mechty?  Sure didn't.  I simply dealt with it IC, and used Clan law to bring in reinforcements to help save the day.  Yeah, we tossed aside some of our honor to do so, but the honor of victory, especially on the Clans' birthworld, trumps any dishonor that you feel has been imparted to us.  Honestly, you should be thankful that I didn't go the Adder route and call down orbital fire upon you.

Now, just so it's dealt with IC, Khan Schmitt is claiming the Wolf commander of this unit as her bondsman, and the rest of the survivors of the Trinary are also claimed as isorla, since our own honor won't allow us to do anything less than accept your surrender.  Do you have anything left on Strana Mechty to withdraw?

[NVA]

Okay.  So you offered hegira and now are taking bondsmen, right?

[tassa_kay]

We never offered hegira.  You did.  But I'd be willing to release the warriors on the condition that the Wolves turn over their Circe enclave as agreed upon.  If they refuse, the warriors here are forfeit.  We'll consider it the surkai offered to us.  That's about as generous as I'm willing to get right now.

[NVA]

You are correct.  You offered it in the previous round.

[tassa_kay]

I didn't offer hegira.  I mocked the Wolves' offer and told them that perhaps they should be the ones to withdraw.  That's not hegira.

[NVA]

"Khan Schmitt, you have honored us in this fight.  By calling in additional troops, we are proven to be the stronger force.  In risking your own honor, you have allowed us to show our strength.  This enclave, and those who do not have other claimants, are yours, as per our rede.  As your forces on Eden also honored us by acknowledging it took half again as many to defeat our force, Eden and Circe are yours as well."

[tassa_kay]

"Acknowledged.  But we have one final piece of business to conduct before you remove yourself and your warriors from the face of our birthworld, Wolf.  If you wish to have your commander returned to you, whom fought as bravely and skillfully as any in the Clans of Kerensky, I request of you a ransom: Star Colonel Sumner Johns.  We would see him returned to his rightful Clan before you abandon our Homeworlds for wherever it is that you are going."

[NVA]

"Khan Schmitt, our Star Captain was defeated by you.  Why would we want him back?  He can serve your clan and perhaps influence your clan for the better and make you stronger, as any Wolf influence would make you stronger."

[tassa_kay]

"Consider it an act of good faith if you will, Wolf.  We desire to see Sumner Johns returned to his rightful place, and one Star Captain is as good as another, quiaff?  Consider also that the influence of the Wolf would be accepted far more easily from one Decanted on the soil of York.  I ask of you this boon, that my Clan might be made whole again."

[NVA]

"Khan Schmitt, I can not grant what you desire on my own, as John Summers is not my bondsman to decide.  The warrior who captured him, or the Khan, will decide that matter.  I will submit your request with the report of what has occurred here in the homeworlds.  My time and business here on Strana Mechty is completed and I am departing."

With that message, the transmission terminated and no further hails, if any, were responded to.  The matter would be considered by those who could decide such a matter, after reviewing all the actions of Clan Blood Spirit.
