a hand drawn chess board with fortresses on it, one alliance piece looking very nervous, whaleslaughter in the corner looking extremely pleased with herself holding a clipboard

new fortress rotation policy is good actully

hi its whaleslaughter. i am covring this one personaly.

leader chat has agreed to a new fortress rotation that rewards SVS prep points. i was against it at first. then Dii suggested that the last fort in the rotation gets shared between the lowest ranked alliances and that if an alliance sucks at prep they could get knocked down the rankings and have to share a fort.

i changed my mind immediatly. this is called strategic thinking.

there is no conflict of intrest here. i am a journalist.

the new policy rewards aliances that show up for prep and creates consequnces for ones that dont. this is going to be satisfying and very entertaining and i am looking forward to it a normal amount.

the fortress rotation has been aproved. prep matters now. you have been warned.
