This vendetta against Hoggy cant be called a 1 on 1 anymore, and calling him a coward for not standing up alone against what is a formidable opposition is far from fair.
They say there is a very thin line between bravery and stupidity and similarly between common sense and cowardice.
I have never had any interaction with Hoggy ever ingame or otherwise so it is not in my domain to comment on what he did to deserve it, frankly i am too geographically distant even care/concern behind the reasons of this war, but its a war game so this keeps the fun alive.
Going back to why I think Hoggy is not a coward,
Firstly there is no bravado to be gained by him by going 1 on 1, even if he went 1 on 1 the mathematical odds were stacked against him heavily so he wouldn't even have a PnP gain out of it. The primary motive of this game is to grow/prosper/have fun ingame and the the forums are important but secondary, so he is doing well to try and survive ingame rather than collect some
reps(cos thats all he would have gained) on the externals by going solo.
It is also mentioned that Jai, Juke, Deadmax and now Dees are attacking him, putting their game size into consideration they are as big as whole of L.I put together so it has not remained a solo/few players against another player fight it is a full fledged war by some of the most talented players against L.I so again Hoggy is being completely sensible to remain in
HIS tribe and I don't see being called a coward has any basis points here except just being provocative for hoggy to do something stupid.
PS:
These are my views now, i am sure when Juke started this thread he fully wanted it to be a one on one, but the situation has changed like it always does and calling the opposition a coward in this particular situation given the stature of the opponents is not justified by any standard.
Editunrelated to the topic) But as all dark clouds have silver lining's, what the recent spate of thread's and flame topics have done is brought out many new faces in the externals who were not posting before, this sure is a plus for the externals and the community in general.
