lol I'm surprised that no members from Storm Dragons have said anything yet, Scrooges sent out around 10 cs in an op, and all of them were destroyed. They got miffed because they realized that even though they had 89 members they couldn't take one city, so they dissolved the sister alliance and now its just a smaller group of the same individuals
One cs conquered successfully out of about 7-8.
So yes, the op was a failure. stuff happens, and the only people who seem to get rustled by it are you and Lethalsniper, who both decided to join Variant for dumb reasons.
The op was on the day after Christmas. Honestly, the failure of the OP isn't a surprise-- people have real lives outside of Grepolis. Not everyone stays at home for the holidays.
I'm assuming you already know this, but it's extremely hard to get tight timings when you're playing from mobile. Add being at Christmas parties to that, and it was just an overall stupid idea to plan an op for that time.
But you know what? That's fine. The op failed, so what. At the end of the day, everyone will fail ops, and I'd rather one failure early in a server weed out the people like you and Lethal so that you don't flip flop later on and screw people over.
