Esteemed members of The Great Alliance,

I have not been active on your forum, as I see no reason to spam you with the details of our conflict with the NOO. I have waited several days to reply, saving up many issues to address all at once.

1) To those of you in the New Orc Order who are visiting this board and believe that we have asked TGA for assistance: If you will read my original missive, you will see that this is not indeed the case. We need no assistance and have asked for none. from TGA or from anyone else. My message was simply a courtesy letter to inform the members of the Great Alliance that one of their previously-declared enemies was being assaulted and that if they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, it was there. Whether they wish to take advantage of it personally or as an alliance or not at all is, of course, completely their decision.

2) To the person who commented that I was probably a nine-year-old: How many nine-year-olds have you met that can write with proper grammer and spelling or who have the patience to type a letter of significant length? I find it likely that those who fill the boards with obscenities are more likely the nine-year-olds, as words with four letters are very easy to spell and name-calling requires little thought on the part of the agressor. I'm certainly flattered that you missed my age by about twenty years to the young direction, though, instead of the other direction, which would make me an grumpy old lady.

3) On the eleven people who have quit the NOO or are showing invalid user: One has returned. He was apparently on hiatus due to being grounded. (Was someone discussing that OUR alliance was made of children?) One, Azman666, I know for certain quit as a response by predations made almost entirely on my part. Of course, he was complaining about these before we went to war. The war and the remainder of my allies attacking him was somewhat the last nail in the coffin of that account. But it was the Dogs who did it. The other nine, who knows? All I know is that we have received messages from the NOO to our leadership stating that their goal was to see as many "invalid users" in our ranks as possible, so that must be a standard for "winning", at least in their perception. By my count, of those NOO and Dogs who were members the day before we began our sabs for the assault (last Wednesday), 10 have quit from NOO and 2 from Dogs of War. So, by that definition, we are "winning".

4) To those who want to know if we allow orcs into the Dogs of War: Yes. We have members of all races. Our leader is Thug_Ironskull, an orc. Cedric_Ironwood, who someone mentioned above, is also an orc, and we have several others, none of whom will I name, since, as has been mentioned above, we don't post our membership list to a website. In our opinion, that is the height of either pride or stupidity, depending on how you look at it. We have never made a secret of having orcs within our ranks. I was chosen to speak with the Great Alliance out of respect for your views on orcs, and to not pollute your forum with the distasteful warmongering grunts of their race, a respect that I note the NOO is unwilling to afford you.

5) To those who wish to know our numbers: We have, as of this morning, 149 members divided into several companies. Of course, as we don't publish our membership lists openly, there is no way for either the NOO or TGA to verify that number. You will have to take my word at face value or not, but it matters not to me. It does not change the number whether you believe it or not.

In conclusion, I respectfully thank you members of The Great Alliance for your time in reading this lengthy post, as opposed to many smaller, and in my opinion spammier, posts that I could have made over the last few days.

Dark Elf Wench



 

Greetings, members of The Great Alliance,

My name is Dark Elf Wench, and I represent the alliance, the Dogs of War. Friday, we launched a concentrated attack upon the New Orc Order and met with some successes. Of course, we did not go into the endeavor half-heartedly. The attack was preceded by two days of viscious and stealthy sabotage which paved the way for our assault and hamstrung their ability to retaliate.

Some of our successes in this endeavor:
- 11 fewer orcs roam the land of Chaos (11 more INVALID USER accounts as a result)

- Their leader, Errtu, has been trashed by our leader to the point that he is having to spend money to get more defense to keep from being attacked repeatedly for his treasury...an endeavor at which he is currently not being successful.

- The average power of their orc members has decreased (average ranking of exising members dropped by several thousand points when considered as a whole).

The New Orc Order (or as we have taken to referring to them, the "Newly Owned Orcs") are hurting. We continue our assault, and we strike from secrecy so they have few targets to retaliate against. They are at a loss, and  their feeble orc minds cannot wrap around the concept of having a hidden member list. We have their list and are pounding it mercilessly...they have only the names of members we have given up to them through attacks. We are, in my estimation, winning this war.

As such, we formally ask for no assistance from you. But I have heard rumor of your longstanding hatred for the Order, and tales of a thrashing that they attempted to administer to you in the past. If ever there was some retaliation due to these foul orcs, now would be a fine opportunity.

I just wanted to make that opportunity known to you, so that you may take advantage of the confusion and devastation currently among their ranks, either as an alliance or on an individual basis.

May your blade find the heart of your enemies,

Dark Elf Wench
