I find it funny that one of your requests when I asked to move this to the forum was that it be about houses, and not be personal, when the quote above is very personal. It is just another example, even now, of TCA playing the do as I say not as I do game.
Countjimula,
You pleaded with everyone to turn on CTA, most specifically H2, and sent half the server messages against the problem with one house domination creating a borring and unnatural world.
Now H4 has become the undisputed hegemonic leader, and many of the proud H2 leaders have left their house leaving mostly players even newer than me. Albeit most likely unintentionally, you have become part of what you claimed you wanted to fight against and the world is unbalanced and is boring once again.
So like I asked you back then when I was just a Baron, was/is your true motive simply to gain political power or do you genuinely want the world to be more competive and fun.
I think the problem with this world is not one house or another...its the lack of competition. The leaders think the war is why players are leaving; I don't think its either and suspect its the overabundance of houses...but I do still want the game to be fun.
So without any secret agenda, I simply ask what you think should happen next? Or have you changed your mind now that you are in control?
When I was farming in world 2 I was told that I had to drop my LL and that he was an enemy. I told my LL about it and he said that he had long ago stopped fighting even before an official surrender agreement in place. All my LL wanted was to be left alone, but TCA said there was no such thing as a neutral. Later I was told that he had attacked one of them so they attacked in retaliation, this was a complete lie, my LL attacked in retaliation after they had attacked him first and being the players vassal I knew the timeline. Latter I missed a message asking for ID from my LL and all his villages were razed in the area. The player that did all this later became the house Marshall of H2, it was not a rogue bully. I am not saying that everyone in TCA was a bully, but that it was accepted and widespread in TCA.
Compare that to now when I have a former enemy player who captured and razed far more villages than most players in the area in one of my parishes. That player has 15 villages, but surrendered, and is being left alone. Try to tell me that it is the same, just under new leadership. TCA should be very happy that their enemies now do not treat them like they treated others for so long.
I find it odd that so often when arguing on the forums with TCA I felt like I was walking a spoiled toddler through the candy aisle. If you look back most of what we said was in response to some new CA argument that often contradicted others TCA had completely (like this thread for example). If an argument by TCA could not be backed up they just ignored it and tossed out a new one. I also find it funny that nobody said anything like "we do not stand behind what player X said" even with such poor and contradictory arguments.

As I believe I came up with the idea ( I think ) it was intended to do a few different things. First it was to add a new and unifying purpose to our alliance. Most of our enemies were dead or dying so we needed something to help hold everyone together.

This is just some of the quotes that they said here in the public forums, and I was the one being called a crybaby?xX MAHMMOUD Xx wrote: we made rules that is helpful to everyone in this game and every house agree about it
and who didn't is an enemy
In the end I do not know if my posts on the web and Emails to the officers and generals did any good. Few read the forums, and if it did do anything I think it might have prolonged the time players stayed in TCA, although I have never talked about it with anyone. I will soon go back to my home world 1 as was always my intention and will not get involved in a world other than world 1.
