Well, there was no criteria or objective that could be used to measure who 'won'. The whole event was just for fun. Just goes to show what admin backing and endorsement can do for an event as well.
If the factions had organised this fairly vanilla combat event themselves without any admin involvement they probably would've attracted half as many people. If that.
As for the story announcement, that would've read allied victory whatever the result had been. Needed to in order to justify future events that directly result from this.
