This is Pendragon, welcoming you back to
Nidhogg ladies and gentlemen. Or should I say boys and girls? We appear to have had a little misunderstanding during the
Nidhogg’s break, so we wrote up another issue to refocus your jokes and insults on.
First up, we have the surge of Downers troops into Rise of the Dragon cities. As cities of ROTD fall to the U/D alliances, this report is left asking why? Is it because of overwhelming numbers? Perhaps the D/U alliances have been out warring the Dragons of late? For more on this story, I went in depth with a member of the Dragon council, who for security reasons requested not to be named. Our interview is as follows:
P: Hello --------. You’ve agreed to talk with me about the war over the past 3 days, on the condition of annyonimity, correct?
---: Yes. I’m afraid if I tell people what’s been going on, they won’t believe me.
P: Can you give us a hint at least? Why have the Dragon’s been losing cities recently? You appear to have lost several members in, due to their cities being taken. Do you care to comment?
---: For security reasons, I cannot speak to everything. But to be honest with you, we’ve been taking the weekend off just like Nidhogg. We gave the Downers and Uppers a 24 window to leave the alliance, and we would not attack them unless they started attacking us again, or they rejoined Downers. A few of them took us up on it, though we did have some requests for extensions in order to prepare their defenses against any reprisal attacks deemed necessary by D/U leadership.
P: Oh, so you used the 24 hours for a rebuilding period? Have Dragon troop losses been that bad?
---: You’re putting words in my mouth. I never said anything about needed a rebuilding period. We just needed a bit of a relax time. Its stressing, trying to take all those cities, and then rebuilding them to be high performance machines in the Dragon War Machine.
Estimation of Dragon War Machine Production
P: So you…did what? Rebuilt cities your alliance had recently taken?
---: Well, that’s what some people did. The rest of the alliance had a much better time. Turns out one of our members is a world famous distiller…and well, you’ve seen The Hangover? And not the sequel, the original one?
Possible Opening Ceremony of Dragon Weekend Party
P: Are you saying the alliance all took a shot laced with roophies?
---: Again, words in my mouth! I didn’t say anything like that! I asked if you saw a movie.
Was this More Like It?
P: Care to elaborate then on what you mean?
---: Sure. Don’t fight pendered, don’t argue with Kronos, and for all that is holy in the world, don’t challenge the Dragons Academy to breathe real fire.
The Dragon Party*
P: Sounds like your alliance had a good time this weekend, sir.
---: Yes we did. But hey, we’ve got to get back to the war planning now. This war isn’t going to win itself after all!
Dragons Returning to War
Well ladies and gentlemen, that is the scoop as I heard it form a Dragon councilmember. Will the alliance quit the partying of the weekend to reload and take the south of O55 away from Downers/Uppers? They seem confident in their ability. Perhaps they have a card up their sleeves…or a CS in a harbor. Either way, it looks to be a promising and hard fought war. From all of us here at
Nidhogg, we welcome you back and look forward to continuing our war coverage.
I’m Pendragon, you stay classy readers.
