Good fight from both zides. Crazy it takes multiple of the games best players/cartels to defeat one though.

The politics in this game is similar to "the other game" which is why the game is so stale. Need folk to start causing more arguments to spicen the game up.

Was a fun war but definitely revealed some flaws in the TT system that D has fixed and hopefully will spark a review for what is best for the game for future wars as well.

With no real events, bringing life to the game is super important.

Alliances are great and part of the game, but they encourage stalemate TTs, despite the recent TT changes to more regularly rotate bonuses.

I'd like to see more incentive added for Cartels to attack other Cartels. As well as a reduction in defenders favour in how score is calculated and requirements to win.

Was a lot of fun and no doubt there will be more fun wars ahead, bringing life to the game, courtesy of Cartels like Reyes.

Proud to be a pirate in a 1v4.

Imagine needing 4 cartels to stop 1 and being proud of how the war went 🥹

I (and the others I assume) take great pride in winning this war. If you were to combine the amount of active players in Reyes vs. Ravage, you guys are a much bigger cartel than we are. I understand that your leadership might have said that this war would be a so called "Walk in the park" or an easy win. And not to win after that, it's stingy. I get that and it is totally fine.

The thing that happened to you is also what friendship, loyalty and comradeship is. Just like when Carnage attacked Reyes's sub cartel and Reyes got involved a couple days/week ago. It's part of the game. It is what it is. It's not like Slackers didn't help you a little as well, so you guys weren't totally alone in the dark.

The pride of victory when taking down one requires the combined strength of three powerful cartels, TT bug abuse, and sheer numbers. We must remember that this was an alliance effort rather than a cartel war. That "walk in the park" line could have held up just fine in a true 1v1.

Although you brought up our size, Reyes relies more on action and strong leadership than headcount. Even after years of playing, your cartel is still unable to equal that. We're not responsible for that. That is a problem with your leadership.

Also, since when did Ravage become a sub-cartel of the other two? Must’ve missed the memo.

Sure, call it a victory. Don't mistake piling on for strategy, though.
Then again, if that’s what it takes to finally beat Reyes, I’d probably celebrate too.

First of all, I had a lot of fun the past few days. That being said, there are a couple of things I like to get off my mind:

1) We have never called it a walk in the park. We thought it would be a nice war and we expected the alliance to be involved.
2) Slackers barely helped us, maybe a couple of attacks lol.
3) After Diablo confirmed that you need the 960k target to take the territory, otherwise defenders win by default, it was the realization there's no way to win in 2 days, even with 20 of our own on the wall, so we took the L. 
4) I think a real war (one of the first to actually not be a complete steamroll) with 2 mods, active players and another developer involved will be good for the game, as we all gathered feedback from it.
5) I think we can objectively say that the Squid Game ending sucked balls. (This ruined my mood lol, had such high hopes, Panic at the Disco would be baffled)

Coming from the losing side (Yea, admitted it) some of your guys are very tasteless about it. I know you take pride, but we absolutely did not get humiliated. We had a 300k lead at one point until the bounties and the alliances started rolling in. 

**** talking and memes are fine, but those people (who know exactly who they are) should expect a response after everything has been settled because they've been very nice right to your face, but behind your back they're acting like they just won the world cup. Action = Reaction stuff.

Imagine attacking a cartel you knew to be allied with others thinking it would go well...

I think there's nothing wrong with our leadership (I might be biased since I'm in there). But the difference between you guys and us is that we've prioritized different things. If my members focuses more on int training, gym or rep than the other, I don't mind. Even if that will cost us later on. And you're right, that is not your responsibility, it's mine. We're here to have a good time and a long time. To form friendships and to have a place to "escape the reality". Not to make enemies, you probably know whom I'm referring to. And there was nothing stopping Slackers to assist you besides the fact that your strong leadership allowed your members to mug them (which I personally question because that to me is not how you treat an ally). 

Why I used the phrase "walk in the park" was because Jari had the decency to ask for our other territory a couple of hours after the war started. This to me signals that you guys thought you'd easily win. - A walk in the park

And it seems like Jari appreciated the alliance to join in because it "makes it better". 

This will be the last thing anyone's hearing from me regarding this war. What's done is done. And you have had time to experience the war system before going live against us (not my responsibility either).
