Auguthy2/Kafs: I am Kafs aka auguthy2, member of the carnage.

Justin/Jurasu: Recently several Plight members have been nobling villages behind the lines of C², mainly in K50. I understand that you are one of the main members involved in stopping this, correct?

Auguthy2/Kafs: Yes, they were quite near me even though I am not the biggest K50 player.

Justin/Jurasu: What’ve you done so far about this situation?

Auguthy2/Kafs: Well, once I noticed them I simply post on the forum and sent a message to the council. After that, I attempt fast nobling in the hope there was not any support in these villages so far. It didn’t work so well, but we were able to clear most of them eventually with our local nukes. Many players participated though, not just me. They (Plight) also jumped kind of gradually instead of having a strict timing, so we had less villages to worry about than we could have. Even so, there were a lot of inactive villages nearby and they were able to noble a few before we could.

Justin/Jurasu: Could you name some of the players from C² who participated?

Auguthy2/Kafs: Well, many players did. Vilkatistom, lamarth, bcmshrauwen, and bushwackers all helped. Those are the ones I can remember now. I have a pretty bad memory though. It was pretty much an individual contribution; we didn’t coordinate as well as we could have. Two villages from Plight are still alive in K50.

Justin/Jurasu: You already suggested that Plight planning was poor during this situation, and that it made it easier on you guys. Despite this, do you think that it was a good idea in general? Could it have worked had things been done better?

Auguthy2/Kafs: Their planning wasn’t poor, but could have been way better I think. They also didn’t use enough troops, in my opinion, to even try something worth it. Considering many players have an excess of packets now, it wasn’t that bad a decision for them, but it was a pretty hard operation to be carried out successfully. It could have worked, yes, and could have create some trouble for C² in K50; they hit a weak spot of an inactive player/ area (he went barb around three days later). If they had kept most of their villages, C² would have had to worry about them there for sure. No tribe likes to have an enemy in their backfield. It was also quite a few hours in noble distance. I believe I was the closest with a train, and a single train can’t always handle an invasion. However, knowing the world as it is, and knowing the results of the K87 operation of C², I think they just did that to annoy us a bit.

Justin/Jurasu: So you do admit that, in theory, it was a good plan and could’ve worked? If only they’d used more troops, and perhaps timed it better, it could’ve been successful? Was there anything else that could’ve been done in this type of situation?

Auguthy2/Kafs: Honestly, if they had timed a significant amount of support and had hit a landing date with a lot of accuracy, it would have been difficult for C². A weak spot is a weak spot, and if you use it to the maximum effect, then it complicates things for the enemy. If they also added a few more villages, it would have been even harder. But still, I must admit that they had a bit luck that we didn’t have control of the Pastie account, but that is something the C² council made a mistake for. It was their right to exploit that. It was a bit like betting in poker; their attempt could have been pretty bad and not even succeed in conquering one village, but they managed to do it.

Justin/Jurasu: Is there anything else about this situation that you would like to address that I may not have mentioned in my previous questions?

Auguthy2/Kafs: Haha, it was fun guys, and nice try! And, nice job on probably keeping your village crazyplayer…for now…

Justin/Jurasu: Thanks you for your time Auguthy. I appreciate it.

Auguthy2/Kafs: It was my pleasure.
