Not-A-War by Numbers

On April 10th, the din Kolesi lineage attacked House de Draak. This is de Draak’s first conflict as a lineage standing on its own, and I could not be happier with the performance, drive, and dedication of my people. As a lineage, we are content to let our weapons speak for us; we neither feel the need to spew vitriol, nor put anyone down.

We are, however, very passionate about numbers. And spreadsheets. All the spreadsheets.

We track things religiously, and while we can’t claim our numbers are perfect, they’re quite accurate to the best of our abilities. At the outset of the fourth week of this conflict, we have plenty of numbers to report. I’ve personally fielded a number of questions about the current state of affairs; in an effort to clarify what actually is going on, House de Draak has decided to present some statistics. The reader can decide for themselves who, if anyone, is ‘winning.’

Blood loss totals are an amalgamation of absolute losses based on current blood + amounts necroed.[1]

At the beginning (ish) of Week 4, blood loss/necro totals[2][3] are as follows:
Image
Difference: 89,117 pints

Of the 105,000 pints necroed thus far by din Kolesi, 37,000 were necroed via Blood Potion, for a total cost of 2,810,000.[4]

Of the 46,759 pints necroed thus far by de Draak, 8,000 were necroed via Blood Potion, for a total cost of 1,208,975.

Weekly Totals (cumulative)
Week 1 (April 16th 2018)
de Draak: 70,558 pints (including 14,130 pints necroed)
din Kolesi: 111,121 pints (including 40,000 pints necroed)
DIFFERENCE: 40,563

Week 2 (April 23rd 2018)
de Draak: 86,507 pints (including 26,647 pints necroed)
din Kolesi: 149,356 pints (including 61,000 pints necroed)
DIFFERENCE: 62,849

Week 3 (April 30th 2018)
de Draak: 97,963 pints (including 43,475 pints necroed)
din Kolesi: 175,289 pints (including 73,000 pints necroed)
DIFFERENCE: 77,326

PRESENT (May 2nd 2018)
de Draak: 113,483 pints (including 46,759 pints necroed)
din Kolesi: 202,600 pints (including 105,000 pints necroed)
DIFFERENCE: 89,117


ZEROINGS
Eli Hartley - April 15th 2018 [INDEPENDENT] [5]
Kali - April 30th 2018 [DIN KOLESI]
NightTerrors - May 1st 2018 [DIN KOLESI]

CONFLICT GOALS
As stated to Daly during our meeting to discuss terms of engagement, de Draak will consider this conflict done and dusted once Orion is brought to zero.

CLOSING NOTES
I have a journal with day by day blurbs I may publish at the close of this conflict. The idea was blatantly plagiarized from Seyda.

As previously stated, our numbers are not perfect. Minor discrepancies do creep in; we miss things like nibbling on humans, or a few scrolls here and there. We invite din Kolesi to publish their statistics if they feel these are incomplete, inaccurate, or in any way misrepresentative, and we will edit accordingly.

_____________________________


[1] Numbers are tabulated at the close of day, roughly midnight EST.

[2] A Void contract was taken out on Ezra after the initial attack; we are not bothered to parse out Void hits from dK hits, and thus Ezra’s losses include those attacks carried out by the Void. At the time of writing, she has been hit by 36 Vials of Holy Water, 10 UVGs, and countless Scrolls of Turning (affecting not only Ezra, but Anders, Vex, and Aida as well). Friendly fire happens and we also aren’t parsing that out.

[3] NightTerrors’ blood loss is included in totals. 3707 pints were shed from him by the Cartigan family and his friends during his zeroing. Feel free to adjust totals accordingly.

[4] Since a blood potion costs the same regardless of how much is actually regained, we’re counting a used potion as a full 1000 pints necroed in terms of costs.

[5] Eli Hartley is in no way affiliated with House de Draak. He is not included on our roster, did not hit alongside us, nor is he a member of the lineage. He attacked solely Orion, and was zeroed from 1897 pints (starting BP: 2399); feel free to adjust totals accordingly, as we were not and are not tracking him.

And also as stated by Daly during our meeting to discuss terms of engagement, de Draak can fuck right the fuck off buddy.

Eli Hartley hit with your waves, if not with then coincidentally around the same times you were moving, and if he is independent then you've been breaking the terms as this was supposed to be an inhouse thing only. No one gives a shit what you stole from Seyda, and no one gives a shit what Seyda has to say, or what she has to do with anything about this. I knew since the beginning of this you would end up saying something, and the only thing I have to say is this:

If you're not willing to go as far as possible to protect your childer from a group of pansy fucks whose words hold no value as they've proven time and time again that they're lying sacks of dogshit clucking like a bunch of chickens in a hen house, then you have no business being a sire.

Nice grab for attention, sweetheart.

Eli hit on his own because he dislikes Orion, and started attacking, as far as I'm aware, prior to our discussion.

Sounds convenient.

Instead of talking about what is part of the discussion or what is agreed upon or not, what we really should talk about is Ezra attacking with her thralls. That's the real story here.

This is a poor attempt at misinformation. Ezra has never once used a thrall to attack anyone, din Kolesi or otherwise.

I'll happily elaborate on this accusation for the sake of total transparency. A thrall belonging to Ezra displaced members of the Void over a week ago. The Void is, as far as we're concerned, not affiliated with din Kolesi, and not part of this conflict. We, of our own volition, set a meeting with the powers that be (RavenBlack) regarding the incident, and any involvement of employees of Ezra's was immediately halted to avoid further issue.

A displacement is not an attack. A displacement would not affect the numbers presented herein.
