Sad Yakuza

Kanto has fallen with a whopping 30M difference in favor of South Korea!https://app.warera.io/battle/6a57740cc02d0da6e7be179a

Really appreciated to all who participated an was part of this project. Narratives doesn’t matter, numbers are facts and in the top 5 dmg dealers of each side, Japan have 455 users for Japan or 109 if you don’t want to count Venezuela, and 97 for South Korea side. If wanted to take top 10, things just skyrocket, but seems more to made appearance or hit for bountys than others thing.

On a little note aside wants to congrats to the top 3 dmg dealer of the battle. Specially to my countrymen https://app.warera.io/user/681e7c27f6f19b81b6939a81, https://app.warera.io/user/681d5552470bf2a142e5244a and https://app.warera.io/user/681d8c27470bf2a142464a62. Mention to https://app.warera.io/user/68291a2ce10d9906653b5f47 who was stealing red loot before the war like he knows the battles will come xD

Now, a little reflection

You are not ronin anymore, just a sad Yakuza. And just like the modern Yakuza, your time has passed.

The "neutral" label you use to call yourselves "mercenaries" and therefore "untouchable" is nothing more than a blatant lie to hide in your little corner of the map. A country that has dealt 1.7 billion damage worldwide cannot seriously call itself neutral. This is not a zero-sum game, you don't magically become neutral just because you maybe will hit the other side for a price. Especially when you've openly stated that you wouldn't accept contracts against countries like Venezuela or Poland for example. That is a deliberate decision to take sides. You can change the narrative all you want, but reality remains reality.

Just mafia

Now, your mafia-style approach toward countries is honestly creepy as hell. "Hire us before your enemies do." That's a pretty obvious attempt to extort communities into paying absurd rates, acting like the neighborhood bully shaking down whoever is desperate enough. The way you intimidate and treat other players is ugly, and it's one of the reasons we decided to do this.

In realitty your rates are simply 0.15 and extra 0.17 for "protection".

There's always something satisfying about putting the school bully back in their place, the one who thinks they're far more important than they really are. So congratulations on your new roleplay rebrand. I'm already looking forward to all those fancy Yakuza profile pictures.

And on my side, I'm genuinely sorry to all the nations around the world that had to put up with the flood of insults, threats, and pressure they received because of our attack. It was completely unnecessary.

The myth of the "elite fighters"

Something else that became very clear is the myth of the so-called elite fighters.

Anyone who gets fed with bounty money far above the normal market can hit hard. Everyone knows that. And it was demonstrated quite clearly when, after almost nine months of collecting the highest bounties in the world, you're all basically bankrupt.

You had two specific advantages that gave you a huge boost early on. First, you were veteran players, giving you a massive comparative advantage on lvls over players who were born several months later. Second, you have outstanding PR, and I'll gladly give you credit for that. Whether it's because of the country you occupied, global Japan culture, and the daily effort you put into promoting yourselves, your public image has been excellent.

But that's all it is: PR.

Once everyone else caught up in levels, there was nothing left behind the curtain.

This is simply the consequence of your own actions. If you want to cry about it, go ahead. You wouldn't be the first, and you certainly won't be the last.

Take this opportunity to read some manhwa instead. There are some really good ones, I can even recommend a few.

Your revenge will come soon enough.

To my friends

To my friends and to all the groups that stood by us, thank you so much. The friendships built in communities like this often last for years, and I'm truly grateful that I got to build those connections with all of you. <3

Oh, and by the way, here's how this whole master plan came together, in June:

"Hey, after the next MU Cup, should we attack Japan?"
"Sure."

Three days before the MU Cup started:

"Don't forget, after this we're attacking Japan."

During the semifinals:

"Hey, want to join us? We're attacking Japan afterwards."
"Sure."

Then during finals:

"Oh... it's a long weekend. Should we attack on Saturday?"
"Nah, there's a football match."
"Right... Sunday then."

And that's how, ladies and gentlemen, a true master strategy is born. Pure champagne strategy.

Anyway, now that we're in Kanto...
