Don't worry, I don't take comments about cowardice seriously from someone who was always with others. We did fight alone, always in the wilderness, and a couple of times you did make me flee, otherwise I killed you or made you flee. I honestly would sit there laughing out loud when you would get a group of outlanders together, set a blatant trap on Imperial Road, which you did often enough, and sit there trying to goad me into walking into it so you all could gang me down.
The number one reason Empire took a hit is the same every cabal does at times, people decided it was a good time to delete their Imperials and play their other characters, and hey, thats just the way its always been in CF and it always will be.
