[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8919254, member: 6704184"] Well no, it is a victory. This mindset…I’m sorry but it exhausts me. There are victories that aren’t complete and without concession. A dead dragon was never the win condition. We pushed back, and we got more than we had before they pushed in the first place. If you like, the dragon demanded tribute to not burn the village down, and it would still burn our neighbors down and eat all thier stuff. We said no, pushed back, and the dragon said, “okay what about I patrol the valley every once in a while to keep every a little safer, and we drop the burning anyone stuff, but I’m still gonna eat all your neighbors cattle. We said no. Resoundingly. The dragon said, “okay heard and understood I will not do any burning or eating of thing a that belong to any of you, and also the mountain pass that I require a toll to pass through will never have a toll again. I’ve already put an anti-dragon fire shield over it, so I can’t take it back.” And then flew away. And you’re gonna refuse to call it a victory because the dragon didn’t move to another valley so it could never do any of that ever again. Because victory wasn’t complete and unambiguous enough for you. [/QUOTE]
