The Westfalen

[Jihadjoe]

My opinions on Westfalen are rather mixed.

Westfalen was handed to the LN as the result of the Bretonia/Rheinland conflict, at the same time as the Bretonians lost LD-14 to Kusari. This was a logical move, in my opinion, as it gave consequences to the whole situation. Consequences to actions are good for the roleplay environment.

The Bretonians and Kusarians had an event regarding LD-14, which the Bretonians won, and as a result they regained LD-14.

The LN and RM had a transport based event (which was far too easy for the LN really, the event could have been better balanced) to supply the Westfalen. If the LN had failed, they would have lost Westfalen again. Instead the LN won.

The LN owning Westfalen, led to a lot of stupidity in Hamburg. That stupidity I believe severely damaged the attitudes of both sides. Leading to the situation we have at present, which involves hordes of highly annoying caps, being lame to one another. That happened before, but it got worse while the LN owned Westfalen, and has not improved since.

I would have appreciated an event to hand the Westfalen back to Rheinland, however given the plot's failure to actually move on with regards to that war, it seems odd to me that the LN did not retain it with the new update. That event could have been weighted heavily in the RM's favour for all I care, but at least something to cause the transfer...


Essentially, I think the Westfalen thing was the cause of a lot more problems than it should have been. the war with Rheinland is now exceedingly stale and highly annoying to play as a result of the poor attitudes of certain parties, which I blame partly on the Westfalen being in LN hands for a while.


Connor, while this thread is overall a good idea, I'd suggest that arguing with whoever's alt that is, is a tad unwise. As to the alt-account-person... Is there a reason you're using an alt? I've not looked to see who you are, and nor am I likely to bother.
