@mommunism thats not why im calling you a troll but ok troll ^,^ what ever makes you feel happy. i actually said the same thing about ending it, seen a couple comments up, but i decided to keep you company. my point was actually they were AT LEAST at fault equally or the army was more at fault with the mercs/mc still being at fault for things as well. the only part where i said theyre equally at fault is the mc and knight leader. thats not the same as saying theyre "all" equally at fault like you said.. you could have ended this awhile ago by agreeing they were at least equally at fault because we're never going to convince each other the other is wrong.
can you also address some of the topics youve completely brushed off instead of answering? even if you feel like you answered them i feel you didnt:
1: the lord, the army, and the knights failing to even ask for information on this monster
2: splitting the army when the army was mostly new recruits with little combat experience is what caused the massacre
3: brought up by boogle, if the entire adventure guild knew everything about this monster why didnt the army? why wouldnt the army know about the dangerous monsters from the surrounding area even if its a bit further away then right next door? the knight leader or the squad captains should have asked information about this but didnt
4: why was the army even sent out for this? knights defend lord/family/castle. army defends city/ from enemy armies, adventurers hunt monsters. just send in the experts and all this avoided.
5: the mc and the girl with him were delayed to heal the soldiers they originally went to help by one of the other soldiers possibly a squad captain. this lead to the main force and at least 2 other squads being wiped.
6: this is the most important one. the knight leader is at fault because hes the leader. it was his job to plan and lead the battle against this monster. apart of planning is gathering information on your enemy. as the leader his responsible for victory or defeat. the entire time before engaging the monster all hes thinking about is restoring his honor and when he finally fights the monster he has a break down preventing him from being useful at all as well as getting more people killed.
so far every time i brought this up you brushed it off either ignoring it or said the mercs should have just told them/helped which isnt addressing the point at all. all of your comments can be summed up as "ya but the mercs should have just _____" and "its the mercs/mc fault because____" why does it surprise you this led me to think you were denying the knights were at fault at all. your comments include parts of the knights f'ing up but then you go on to say its the mercs/mc fault. it was only on page 5 you actually included comments about the knights messing up. your original comments have been all about the mercs/mc causing it and nothing else. youre entire argument prior to page 5 has been mercs mercs mercs.
also, " justified the knights' behavior by defending the mercs" so, youre saying that because the knights made no attempt to work with them, who were professional monster hunters, causing the mercs to not tell them their plan sucked is totally justified for the knights to choose not to work with them because the mercs chose not to tell them their plan sucked after the knights chose not to work with them. incase that was too confusing. a caused b, b justifies a. seen in chapter 6
"Just because the knights went out for their own reasons doesn't mean
"any" of this is their fault. "
please reread the section starting with "so far" as that covers this. and again. incase you didnt read everything. prior to page 5 youre comments didnt include any fault of the knights/army. which is why i said youre saying they f'd up but still saying its the mercs fault.
"Power = responsiblitiy and whatever."
positions of authority are forms of power. such as the knight leader, the squad leaders, the general, lord and the guild leader.
"This is a very very simple concept to understand, yet you keep missing it."
this is how ive felt about you since the 2nd comment.
"I'll happily leave knowing another comment would just be time wasted on an illiterate moron."
^,^ this is how ive felt since just before calling you a troll. well not totally since ive had fun with this
you however seem to not be having fun
