Nope. Red Corsairs attacked Eldar first.

Ulthwe hit once, tit for tat.

Then CSM hit 3 Eldar more times.

Don't start making stuff up like 1had does.

I AM NOT THE REST OF CHAOS, just a loose alliance. Just putting that out there, Ulthwe attacked me unprovoked, my forces personally had done nothing to them, now the Eldar as a whole must reap the consequences. If I am automatically to be considered a target for what the rest of my "faction" has done then so must the Eldar.

You can see on page one that the Red Corsairs were brokering for an Alliance with the World Eaters, showing that we are separate. At least that was my impression that we are a lose Alliance, with no over all head, unlike the Eldar who seem to have you at their helm.

Raven Guard withdraws from the nid infested ruins of Iyanden to set a new course.
Malfunction of the drives sends them into the EoT. Regroup and reinforce is ordered.


-move to Ultramar
-move to Eye of Terror
-re-enforce


Armageddon (alpha)
Red Corsairs (CSM) 13

Craftworld Iyanden (beta)
Kraken (Nids) 21
Biel-Tan (Eldar) 6
Ulthwe (Eldar) 9
Blood Axes (Orks) 13

Ultramar (gamma)
Zandros (Eldar) 10
Goff(Orks) 14

Eye of Terror (delta)

Raven Guard (SM) 5
Cadians (IG) 18
Night Lords (CSM) 11

Alveus Alpha Alpha Sextus (epsilon)
Vostroyans (IG) 19
Freebooterz (Orks) 15


Still confused why the Eldar throw themselves into the maw of the kraken, the Raven Guard isn't willing to lose Valuable forces to a hungry infestation of a bunch of wrecks. To investigate the cadians and their move out of the imperial battle lines will be a secondary
objective.

*Cpt: Demand identification of stationed vessels. *
*Officer1: why are there pre-heresy pattern vessels? Shouldn't Cadias transports be factory fresh?*
*Officer2: data research started..........identification incoming........access denied. =I=. *
*Cpt: What? How did THEY get into our data storage?*
*Techmarine: We should cleanse these systems, our data have been tainted....*
*Cpt: Any answers of the hails ?*
*Officer 1: not yet.*
*Officer 2: The transports and escorts a standard IN pattern. Should be the cadians...*
*Cpt: and the rest?*


more tommorrow...

Sooo, you want to have your cake and to eat it also. It is easy to claim that you do not speak for others, but when you act in the coordinated manner that Chaos has demonstrated it makes the claim of independent action look very false.

In essence your seeking to say to your allies, that they must honor their agreements but you do not have to honor yours.

I honored my agreement, I didn't attack the Eldar until I was provoked, then I realized I was to be held responsible for the actions of the rest of Chaos. So the Eldar must too.

I have not received any message from the rest of the Chaos players save one two days ago asking me to attack Saim-Hann when everyone else had piled on. I didn't, due to computer issues and the fact that as far as I was concerned I was still working with the Eldar against the Imperium.

You and I personally never entered an agreement, there was a minor one between John and myself at the start, which seemed to gain the support of the others, but not that the Eldar seem to have united against Chaos I will not honor it.

Our "coordinated manner seems more like attacking comon enemies and assisting allies. But there have been no messages between the others and myself, I haven't even seen one from the Orks, I'm simply not attacking them.

For the record, I don't speak for Eldar at all, and I guess we're a "loose alliance", too.

BrotherStynier why don't you have a rank?

Yet you hold the others to be one whole group responsible for the others actions.

VikingScott wrote:BrotherStynier why don't you have a rank?

Because I'm Excommunicate Traitoris

Wow BrotherStynier...

I don't represent all of chaos...

Though you represent all of eldar!

Now you have to pay, but I don't! Bwahahahahaha!

No, it was my realization of that I was being held responsible that provoked my attack. I am saying that if I am to be held responsible for that so too are the rest of you. I've said that in almost every post so far, learn to read.

Aboard his ship Slaughter Lord Shamanos struck the prisoner with his fist, the red clad xenos made a whimper. It spat its weak blood onto the decking. "You betrayed us, we had a pact." it complained in its haughty voice. Shamanos grinned. "We made a loose pact, but any fool knows never to display weakness." "Betrayer" shouted the xenos in its rage. "No, that name is for another, I am Slaughter Lord!" A flash of movement and the eldar's head was on the floor. Shamanos reached down to the corpses chest and plucked the cyrstal stone there. He looked at it as it glowed. He watched as he crushed it in his gauntlet the light ebbing as it drained from the stone, before the last of it was gone he spoke. "Embrace Chaos."

Also, You stole a theatrical death from me this game and interfered in a fight that was not yours.

There is a mother named "Payback" waiting for you two in the next game.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha.

No one cares. I attacked Eldar/you once. All other attacks have been against the Imperium. I love that your so offended.

Say what? You're quoting me and trying to use exactly what I've been saying the whole time against me so I'll give you a different bigger version.


WHEN WE STARTED I WAS UNAWARE THAT WE WERE ALL AN ALLIANCE, NOW THAT I AM AWARE AND WAS FORCED INTO IT I AM MAKING THE ELDAR AWARE THAT THEY ARE HELD TO THE SAME STANDARDS.

No need for caps lock big man.

JohnhwangDD does NOT speak for all of the eldar, so when he stated that he was blaming all of you.

You jumped into blaming all of us. So... how are you making things better, or should we just continue this petty circle until game two?

WAAAAAGH! You're all dead when da Freebooterz gets to ya! Stop fightin' and save yer strength for da Orks, or you'z all gonna die!

No one cares about yer petty complaints! It'z time to arsk yerself, "Am I a humie or a small grey fing with a tail and a pink nose?"

Not upset, Just laying some ground work for game 2.

Though Freebooterz can.

This is fething awesome. This is not an endorsement of Chaos or meant to offend focusedfire in any way (I liked his "I will be avenged!" fist-shaking, too) but this is just fething awesome. You guys are great. I love the narrative stuff. Shout out to Capn Nottwotch here, too.

@1hadhq: Those Raven Guard need some names, I think!

Meanwhile: Strange that no one seems to mind the growing threat of the Devourer . . .

Thanx Manchu.

The devourer is safe because viking scott is a nice guy.. Didn't even kill Saim hann. Doesn't tell people they are stupid or doomed. He is the perfect greyman.

BTW you are all dooomed!

(Done with the arguing, gonna post some filler until my next turn)

The Night Lord Captain makes a slicing motion to his Communications Officer signaling him to close off the Vox link to the Eldar forces, too much time was being wasted on words. It was time to begin preparations for their next move.

Meanwhile on the ground the Lieutenant's forces were busy hunting down the remnants of the Saim-Hann forces that had been prevented from fleeing to their craftworld. The striplings had put up a decent enough fight but would not last until day break. Movement caught his eye, his bolter barked at the shadow and with a wave of his Dark Blade he motioned his Astartes towards the building, more trophies were to be had.

I wish...

If the Orks survive until the endgame, I can see them easily getting smushed by Chaos or Eldar. They just don't have the maneuverability to finish the victory.

How do Erasoketa and EF fit into this equation? They have been perfect gentlemen the whole game yet your statement here could be construed as a statement otherwise.

And yes, Death is inevitable

Odd... Nothing from DDRE, Manchu, or Era. and it's less than a half hour until day's end.

@ff, if you're on, you might as well go ahead and set up a move for Biel Tan before the stroke of midnight.

@NW, I think you're sandbagging the Ork chances.

Well...we can't perform all three actions at once. Eldar and Chaos can. So Orks have to choose between reinforcing and attacking, meaning a potential stalemate.

Turn 1: Eldar/Chaos R 1, A 1
Turn 2: Eldar/Chaos R 1, A 1

Turn 1: Orks A 1
Turn 2: Orks R 2

We can't pull them down below us, but they can't beat us as long as we continually reinforce.

Its not just about being a gentleman a grey man is someone doesn't get much attention.

As to those two.

Erasoketa took Space marines. That automatically makes you a target. The only way he could of died faster is with the Ultramarines handle. (I am tempted to take that next game for the lols.)

EF in my eyes spoke for the Imperium alliance. No one likes the imperium haha. He doesn't now, because he said so.

This game barely works on logic, it operates on emotion and in-universe bias. Logic would have all the weaker mobile groups eldar, space marines, chaos to target the slow juggernauts before they reinforce their way to immortality. But the battle lines were drawn and opinionated people get targeted. Not saying its bad though. I quite like the drama I have been witness too.

@NW: Yeah, there are lots of stalemates possible, with Eldar, Chaos & Orks, due to each being A1 and everybody being able to Reinforce pretty quickly.
