Medieval War Lore

February 13-20

This week began with SamyaChakrabarti attempting to make peace between the growing leaders of Nightly-Knight and RaufUsSabid7. The meeting did not turn out in the best way. Nightly-Knight was convinced that The Ches Mafia is not good for the world with their warlike nature. Samya had already sided with TCm but he just wanted peace. When Rauf heard of the peace talk that Samya was organizing the reply to Nightly-Knight about their allegiance to YWK he said "Ok sure GL"

Nightly-Knight said in a conference meeting, "Obviously Rauf has no cares about the world, only his pitiful kingdom"

The Operation Love that ended on Monday did not do what it was meant to do. Those that agreed to it sneakily attacked small countries. However, those that did not agree to it actually heeded it. It was those that suggested it t hat back down from their word. An example is Road to GM. They attacked Passion on the day before Valentine's day and during that time a peace talk was going on between Samya, Nightly and Rauf. No one seemed to notice R2GM's treason which was good for the kingdom as they did not need to lose the support of the countries that support them.

For the rest of the week the deal with TCM and YWK went quiet as Rauf, the leader of TCM, went on a tour of the world again. Probably scouting out their enemies in secret. Although he's made a big thing of it, there is reason to believe he's up to some trickery now.

At the end of the week was the first Multi-Club Arena in which G1 was the battled for territory, however, since the site in which the MC arena was attempted (chess.com) was a glitch as usual the Arena was cancelled. Many showed up for it, though, but they were declined the ability to join in. Some have guessed that the reason that this happened was a sabotage done by RaufUsSabid7 during his tour he is currently on.

The world grew quiet this week after the large surge of announcements on the television last week. Several new battles were made but there was a very large quiet time due to Rauf's tour. Apparently those clubs that are a war are only at war to get to TCM and destroy it. Or they just want to get to those that want to get to TCM so they can destroy them. It seems like the War is building two empires now, the TCM empire and the YWK empire (aka the Anti-TCM empire)

A study has been done this week by the International War foundation: R2GM (Road to GM) has 12 Ongoing battles while TCM  (The Chess Mafia) has only 7. so contrary to popular belief, R2GM is actually the most warlike tribe.

R2GM territories: A1, A2, E5

TCM territories: H5, H6, G6

Some Kingdoms are so peaceful that they are not even at war!
