The point is the hypocrisy of criticising another clan's home maps whilst fielding similarly luck-based ones yourselves. Although it's not so much plural, more just nolefan.
Everyone has an opinion on maps and their "luck factor". I'm sure TOFU could play us on Lunar War and "luckily" beat us 80 times out of a 100. I'm sure there are a few maps that others would also consider lucky that we could play and do the same thing. So I find the notion of it being luck based (on either side) amusing, if it was all luck you would expect to see it much closer over time.
I agree with you entirely. Do note that I didn't criticise any map selections.

I'm unfamiliar with this type of term and therefore don't know how to react. I apologise if this is not fulfilling.

And it was a moment of frustration, seeing TOFU players grab 7 regions on their first turn to me and my partner grabbing 3 and effectively ending the game before it could get started. Lunar War is one of those "lucky" maps, there really isn't a question about it, when good one good turn of dice can jump your deploy from 3 to 9. I'm not going to debate City Mogul or WWII Poland because I don't much play those maps, but my experiences on Poland is that it's just like any other conquest map. And more to the point, my comment wasn't so much chastising TOFU for picking that map as it was general annoyance after a loss on a map I think is silly.
As far as our favorite CC5 spectator is concerned, he does nothing more than sit in waiting for a Fallen member to post so he can chime in to defend whatever clan we happen to be facing. He sat there in the LHDD thread for weeks giving Fallen members shit, and he's doing the same thing here. It would be different if he had substantive input about the war in general, perhaps some running commentary about wins and losses or close games or something. Instead, he just wants to be a pain in the ass.
Everyone gets frustrated with the luck involved in these games, even more so if the occurrence takes place on a map where the dice can play a much more significant factor. I simply posted due to the hypocrisy oozing out on all sides. For example, we lost Pot Mosbi to OSA due to two dice fails; the latter and more important of which was a 10v6 (not guaranteed, evidently) which would've eliminated a stack of 30+ by killing a player, who would then not have been able to kill another member of our team.
Shit happens.
Yes, that's exactly what I do! I'm sure over 64% of the views on this thread where just me in the morning, sipping my caramel latte and hitting refresh every 3.5 minutes patiently awaiting a Fallen comrade to comment. I choose not to comment on wins/losses because particular Fallen members seem to be having a 100m sprint to be the first to post with every new conquest. I shall not be the one to take that joy away my friend.
I find it amusing that you believe I have some kind of vendetta against Fallen. As it happens, I have good relationships with several TOFU and LHDD players, hence my support. There are players in the clan I like, others I don't. It's exactly the same with every clan here, apart from Aeternus, obviously. In the LHDD war thread half of my comments were actually about the score and friendly conversation with Hussards members. Sorry if that offended you. The heat didn't rise until one of your members decided to treat people I respect with disdain, in which case I got involved. Apologies if you believe that actions without consequences are the way of the world and when one man hits another the correct procedure is to clap and cheer.
Have a jolly now.
