War Update: R.E.D.D. Forfeit and Ending

FC War Update

---

Last night after battles, myself and the rest of the War Council came together for an impromptu forty-five minute meeting.

We have essentially deduced the following: the R.E.D.D. does not have the operational capacity and activity to continue a meaningful war against the Brotherhood. That conclusion was reached by a number of reasons and facts, but in any rate the High Command of R.E.D.D. believes it cannot continue due to lack of qualified leaders and activity issues due to the numerous Triple-A game titles that have come out and will continue to come out. Numbers are already down, and R.E.D.D's leadership feels it will continue to drop in strength. The following was not an easy decision to make on behalf of R.E.D.D's High Com's part, but it will leave some time for R.E.D.D. to rebuild it's numbers in the coming weeks and prepare to fight on a more even keel. Well, here we go.

Field Marshal GhostHammer officially forfeited Imperial forces on Reach at 9:46pm EST last night to Field Marshal Maxdoggy and the B.L.U.E. is victorious on Reach, thus ending another war in Forerunner Conflict.

----

That being said, I would like to congratulate the B.L.U.E. on another well-fought war. It has been fairly even up until this point, and I am under the impression that if R.E.D.D. was in a better state, this war would have lasted way past Christmas. We do not plan to be in peace time extremely long, but a time table has not yet been set to re-initiate hostilities and it will most likely be at least a month.

I know there will be many of you in R.E.D.D. who feel you could have kept fighting, but this is a decision on the basis of your High Command and I feel it is a wise one. This will give us time to move on to better and bigger things, and we have numerous additions to this community we will be adding in the future that you should keep an eye out. Overall, it'll be a recovery period with some goodie bags. Game nights will be common place, and I hope you guys all get ready to start beating each other up on Battlefield or talk Skyrim Chatter over Xbox Live.

Once again, congratulations to the B.L.U.E. and pats on the back for R.E.D.D. who fought so hard this war.

I hope REDD can build up their forces once again. It is no fun winning on a forefeit

Peace time should be the normal amount of time because if they need to forfeit then they could use the time to recruit. Also rebuild there army. Also the only reason why i posted this is because i was unaware of what you meant kuhblam. When you said not a extremely long time because there is two ways you could have used that which are

1). That it will start really soon because you want to get the next war running fast or

2). How long it will take because of all the new games coming out.

Good fighting REDD, It was a great time fighting against you. Both armies should be proud of the accomplishments that they made in this war.

It was fun. Lets do it again sometime, dinner and a movie. ;3

I am not too happy with these results but i can also completely understand them. I will continues to practice with my squad in the hopes that we will become a more effective band of brothers in the next conflict, even if I am not the one leading them to victory.

Good job blue it was fun. Even if we did lose in my 1st ever war.

The length of peace-time is still be decided upon, but the general idea is pretty much agreed upon.

Either way, great War. A lot of people did not find the fun factor, but I had many memories made this War, and I thought everyone was pretty well-rounded skill-wise and I was happy about that.

Also, a lot of ideas are being bounced around in the War Council, and I know when I couldn't see War Council stuff, I always sat there wondering what was being talked over. But trust me, some big changes and new ideas are being worked over, and I think you guys will like the changes =D Once again, if you have any ideas to improve the community or help better the community, post them in the Suggestions area. It is listened to and I thank everyone who utilizes it!

No one likes a forfeit. But this decision was made for the better of the entire community. And that always trumps a single army.

NOW! We rebuild....
