It angers people when you do anything.
Such is the disco life.

Gallia pushing into Bretonia is like a lot of placed stones inside opponents territory, trying to contest it... but connections between these stones and their own secured stones are pretty weak, what may lead them into being surrounded and "dead" or captured.

"but but devs don't listen to faction leaders, they're awful"
"but but devs are listening to faction leaders, they're awful"

I ain't angered or anything like that, I'm just confused, and not by the impact of the outcome of such events, but by the whole gallia lore.
Gallia indeed possesses a lot of interesting content and all that but as far as I see it, it was wasted. Galllia shouldn't exist at all or at least not in its current form of being a vast space that barely sees any player activity (except for leeds and events).
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but having a house pop up out of the nowhere, backed up by a "questionable" lore of how it stayed hidden and so on, and then invading half of Sirius with poor reasoning, is not something that would intrigue people that much, at least not anything outside of new pvp grounds. That being said, whether or not the outcome of such events would be a factor in deciding the inRP "future" of the involved, I salute them, its still a great way to boost activity and be a source of great fun, kudos for the events.
*gets some coffe and awaits the hate that will soon come at him for stating his opinion about gallia*

Well I mean the alternative was letting Liberty win and then I'd get my inbox spammed for the next five hundred million years about how Liberty is a broken house who doesn't follow roleplay because all they do is win everything. Back when we first drew up this roleplay (when it wasn't a set of events, but actually a large collection of stories), it was intended to create an interesting and unique storyline in which the war in the West would actually change, but not to the point that people would be seriously affected. However, since the devs have now begun to make storyline events, I was approached by them regarding turning the storyline that myself, LN, BAF, and GRN leadership had drawn up and crafting it into a set of events to put the storyline into motion.
Would it be better if the community was left to decide? Maybe, maybe not.

Wow, i mean, wow. So with Oulbi going poof, we will just see a battleship honhonhon outside of leeds? I mean what is even the point in Oulbi going poof, also you in cali will lead to massive complaints with the lolns, however i guess the amount of pews will be fun.
