Last night a wind from Lammermoor came roaring

up the glen

With the tramp of trooping horses and the laugh of

reckless men

And struck a mailed hand on the gate and cried in

rebel glee:

"Come forth. Come forth, my Borderer, and ride the

March with me!"

I said, "Oh! Wind of Lammermoor, the night's too

dark to ride,

And all the men that fill the glen are ghosts of men

that died!

The floods are down in Bowmont Burn, the moss is

fetlock-deep;

Go back, wild Wind of Lammermoor, to Lauderdale

-and sleep!"

Out spoke the Wind of Lammermoor, "We know the

road right well,

The road that runs by Kale and Jed across the

Carter Fell.

There is no man of all the men in this grey troop

of mine

But blind might ride the Borderside from Teviothead

to Tyne!

The horses fretted on their bits and pawed the flints

to fire,

The riders swung them to the South full-faced to

their desire;

"Come said the Wind from Lammermoor,"

and spoke full scornfully,

"Have ye no pride to mount and ride your fathers'

road with me?

A roan horse to the gate they led, foam-flecked and

travelled far,

A snorting roan that tossed his head and flashed

his forehead star;

Then came the sound of clashing steel and hoof-

tramp up the glen.

And two by two we cantered through, a troop

of ghostly men!

I know not if the farms we fired are burned to

ashes yet!

I know not if the stirks grew tired before the stars

were set!

I only know that late last night when Northern

winds blew free,

A troop of men rode up the glen and brought a horse

for me!

Paradoxia Vult! Death to the enemy!

So TOP, why did you not take the perfect opportunity to betray the Grämlins by canceling/DoWing on MHA in our defense? :P

Just joking.

Good luck, Purple Alliances! ;)

Is anyone else not surprised TOP didn't come in until the war was already grossly in their side's favor and that they attacked alliances much smaller than them? Way to protect your precious tech and infra, TOP.

Calm down.

You would have been on the list if you weren't tied to OG.

Am I to guess that, and I quote, TOP are asshats?

I'm also surprised that you think so little of the people we declared on.

When a man hath no freedom to fight for at home,

Let him combat for that of his neighbors;

Let him think of the glories of Greece and Rome,

And get knocked on his head for his labors.

To do good to mankind is the chivalrous plan,

And is always nobly requited;

Then battle for freedom wherever you can,

And, if not shot or hanged, you’ll get knighted.

Glad to see you boys step into the fray.

1) I don't know how grossly on one side's favor it is or is not.

2) We are one alliance of 200 nations. We are attacking 4 alliances with many more members and a combined NS that is greater than TOP's.

Meh, war isn't fair. We'll do our best, though.

I'm rather surprised that you completely forgot to factor in the other alliances the ones you've declared on are fighting. I know that we're now taking on TCB, TAB, FOK, Orion, and TOP. Invicta's NS is 3,591,810. Combined, those against Invicta is 25,857,955. Yes, I know that the full strength of all of the alliances involved will not be brought into play, but 7 times the total NS, just to strike down one little alliance? This is blasphemy. This is madness. This is life, ain't it? :rolleyes:
