Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
KOTH Primitive versus Alneyan: In short, I have been utterly defeated, and surrender to Primitive at once. Put me back at the bottom of the hill Asmala, and ready yourself Ragnarok, for you shall fight against my Fool League and all my silliness!
As issued in Sapience: "The League made her Last stand, and performed her greatest victory of the whole war. Here is a report from the General Smashed-Handkerchief:
"Our fully trained fleet made an impressive performance for the worst battle in this conflict! Standing at a wormhole, with more warships than the opponent, our armada made the astounding feat of takind down no less than seven enemy battlecruisers! Your ears did not betray you, we took down seven invincible enemy ships! Our meagers forces composed of fourty odd warships, standing at such a strategical location, had not expected to do half as well, and the bets were on three enemy ships destroyed, four at the best.
Before this major victory, the spirits of the fleet were at their lowest when preliminary simulations reported a 73% chance of them winning the day without suffering a single loss. We have proven that treacherous statement to be ultimately wrong, as seven harbingers of our doom collapsed at the hand of our righteous men and women. With this victory to build up our trust, we can surely hope to stand up to the enemy fleet, and eventually drive them off from this galaxy. Henceforth, our Armada shall be known as the Seven Keepers in honour of this battle."
When asked about the consequences of this battle, and the enemy fleets marching on our worlds, the General merely replied that "'Tis is a trifling matter when we scored seven kills against the enemy warfleet! We have more pressing matters than the defence of our transient nation and its billion denizens, and we shall strive to launch another offensive with the intent of destroying at least two more enemy warships. This would bring their casulaties in this offensive wave to nine, and perhaps even ten, which is a perfectly fine record when you know they have two hundred warships at their disposal."
It is our sad duty to report the demise of our beloved General, which was disavowed for his word by the Consulate, and sent to the nearest blackhole for trial. As we are going to press, the Consulate has yet to issue a formal declaration to the League, but gossips alude to an unconditional surrender to the Primitive Horde after the loss of the Second and Third BattleGroups, while the Fourth Battlegroup is being involved in a fool's errand. We pray the gentle reader to forgive us, but with such rulers, this overthrow is no wonder. As for now, if you will, your most estimed servant will make a swift departure and will seek asylum somewhere else before the Wraiths of the League arrive."
