The West (as of 3/09, Bat Country will be on World 8)

[Xanthippe]

What's with the Coppers?  Spent all day yesterday trying to get KO'd.  One guy dueled me a little.  There aren't even any Coppers in our town at all.

I even went up to their town to try to get knocked out but ran out of energy.

I feel spurned.  There's someone else they're lavishing their attention on, I know it.

Is it over between us?   

[Der Helm]

I suspect they are rallying their large alliance against us.

[Reg]

Hah like it's going to make any difference if they do. As long as we concentrate our attacks strictly on Coppers and ignore anyone else in their alliance they get no benefit from it.

[Der Helm]

2 of them are back. 

Also some people belonging to other towns. 

 

[Samwise]

Your town is being suppressed by the Federation of Marshals because of your continual vicious 'farming' of unarmed workers. MUGGING WORKERS WILL NO LONGER BE TOLERATED IN ANY FEDERATION OF MARSHAL COUNTY.
By Order,
The Federation of Marshals

 

(edit) This was from Geronimo Jones, a Copper.  I replied thanking him for his lawkeeping efforts and told him that there's this town 1 county north of us called Copper Creek that they should lay the smack down on.

[Reg]

What's the difference between being "suppressed" and business as usual?

[Samwise]

It's SERIOUS BUSINESS. 

[Righ]

Doesn't make any difference to us if the Coppers farm duels on our workers or a large alliance does. It just demonstrates that the rest of the alliance shares the hypocrisy of farming workers first, stating that they do not and claiming to be retaliating for transgressions supposedly made against them. I wouldn't want to befriend people who operate based on that sort of crass stupidity anyhow - there's so much poison among them that they'll be feuding each other soon enough. We'll take out beatings and keep on giving back in kind. Their pick-up town populations will fragment faster than we will.

Ask the "marshals" why they tolerate their own townsfolk mugging workers, which started well before our reprisals did.

pi-man does not have an aim/shooting build. He has a pure dexterity/fine motor skills build. His aim and shooting skills are the value of his level plus his equipped item bonus. Because he sit atop the fine motor skill ranking table, it is easy to calculate his dueling stats. :P

[Reg]

That's right. The whole reason for this vendetta is that the Coppers violated ceasefire after ceasefire either because of lack of internal communications skills or simply because they're lying assholes.

[Samwise]

I think it's both, personally -- they're assholes who lied about having internal communication.   

[LK]

Well they've moved beyond arrogant threats to arrogant decrees, I guess.

[gryeyes]

Do not forget arrogant begging.

I tried to send this message to your boy Spamwise. He talks just like he fights, like a COWARD! He blocked my messages just like he hides under his bed when anyone tries to duel him. But he is really brave when it comes to attacking builders. Read it and make sure you understand it.

"Hey dude we are just giving back what your mayor started. We let you guys off the hook to let things settle down and possibly move on but you continue to attack our workers. And you can't claim ignorance. The reason I ko'd you is because of your attacks on our builders. If you want us to go away then you had better get the message to your townfolk that unethical play will not be tolerated. And as long as you assault our builders we will return the favor. The towns of the federation will have their duelers camp out in your town until you do. This is not a threat it is a promise. So if you have any chance of talking sense into Lorekeep, I would suggest you do so."

You're a good role-player. Have you looked into any local LARP groups? I'm sure they'd love to have you.

What the hell is unethical play? Shit.

[Reg]

Isn't Jumping Joan Collins their spokes-thing anymore?

[LK]

Geronimo Jones     On 5/5/09 at 11:57 PM

Do you have a natural aversion to speaking on topic? Or is it even possible to have a reasonable conversation with you?

Lorekeep     Today at 12:02 AM

You want me to take this game seriously?

Ok, one sec.

...

Sorry, I couldn't muster the nerd rage.

[Mrbloodworth]

[Aez]

How about an other ceasefire.  



It's clear, THEY started it.  

[LK]

Geronimo Jones     Today at 12:16 AM

Well then why don't you go do whatever it is that thirteen year old girls do to amuse themselves these days and stop playing around on the internet.

 

[Hawkbit]

unethical play

[Der Helm]

pi-man does not have an aim/shooting build. He has a pure dexterity/fine motor skills build. His aim and shooting skills are the value of his level plus his equipped item bonus. Because he sit atop the fine motor skill ranking table, it is easy to calculate his dueling stats. :P

His bio states that he respecced/ is respeccing. It might be a lie, but he DOES hit hard.  

[Hawkbit]

I noticed that the other day.  Anytime they want to get their panties in a bunch about having their workers shived, they can fondly look back on what started the whole thing.  They agreed to a treaty with no intention of upholding it. 

I hope FOM likes having liars and backstabbers in their little sorority. 

[Xanthippe]

They're taking entirely too long to KO me.  I've been vulnerable for two whole days, even moseyed up to their town to try to duel them, but they were mostly all asleep.  Talk about cowards!  Sleeping cowards!

I feel so  unproductive while I wait for them to KO me.  Maybe I should taunt them.

They all hit like little girls with pigtails wearing pinafores!



As a member of Bat Country, I'm enjoying myself immensely.

[Xanthippe]

Can we get a spy back in there? 

[Reg]

Maybe it's time to head over to the West forums and publically humiliate them again. 

[Der Helm]

Maybe it's time to head over to the West forums and publically humiliate them again. 

It is more fun if they start this themselves.

Study for their Bat Mitzvah?

[Righ]

Their whole town seems to have a fixation on young children. It's disturbing.

pi-man:

Click on ranking, select fine motor skills. He's number three with 136. He's wearing 23 points. The rest is from 32 dexterity and 81 fine motor skills. He's therefore spent 15 points elsewhere since hitting grave robber.

That's the downside to being in the top 15 for some skill.

[sidereal]

Help help I'm being suppressed!
Come see the violence inherent in the west!

[schild]

So, I just unlocked "Guarding the Fort" and decided "hey fuckit, I'll do the union flag quest."

Got it in my first 2 hours.

[Samwise]

Fuck you.   

[schild]

schild wins the duel, gains 41 experience points and steals $70 from kuku3.

Don't attack the builder!

[LK]

We're starting to get to the end game development of our town. After that people can start focusing money on buying equipment. We don't need new residences and after the next bank slot we should have a good amount of safety on cash earned. Hotel is almost maxed.

[DirtyBirdy]

I suspect they are rallying their large alliance against us.

You suspect wrong.  We are busy fighting larger town's in the western part of the world.

Their whole town seems to have a fixation on young children. It's disturbing.

pi-man:

Give it a rest.

Maybe it's time to head over to the West forums and publically humiliate them again. 

I don't remember you humiliating anyone.

Do not forget arrogant begging.

Are you high?  There was never any begging.

We're starting to get to the end game development of our town. After that people can start focusing money on buying equipment. We don't need new residences and after the next bank slot we should have a good amount of safety on cash earned. Hotel is almost maxed.

End game for your town?  You haven't even finished half of it yet.  Copper Springs on the other hand has finished our tailor, general store, and town hall, the final residence upgrade will be finished shortly, then the gunsmith will be finished within a week....42,800 I would think within 2 weeks.  You will be finished your town in about 6 weeks, good job.

I think it's both, personally -- they're assholes who lied about having internal communication.   

You are right, we are assholes.  You are the best.  You win. 

I suggest that everyone who does some duelling upgrade their weapons ASAP.

If you look at the mortician stats, I just did 770 points of damage in a duel (against a builder, all headshots) and I also have the lead on the highest damage on a single hit 140.

PI-Man still did more damage with that special gun and his semipure Aim/Shooting build. 192 (to me, I nonetheless knocked him out yesterday, because my gun has less spread damagewise)

Glad to see you boasting about knocking out a builder...seems to be par for the course in Bat Country.  Your members should be focusing more on donating to the treasury then purchasing high priced items, in my opinion.

On a personal note:

I would focus on completing your town and less on continuing a 'war' you can't win.  Thanks for the chuckles, it's been a blast catching up with y'all.

[Mrbloodworth]

You seem to forget, all of your attackers have attacked me to the point of a KO. They target me constantly. This was going on before this "war" started. I'm a builder. Congratz.

Not complaining, just saying, your a bunch of hypocrites.

Would you like me to post a screen shot of the log?

[LK]

They don't care that they started it, that they are hypocrites, or that if they had showed some semblance of patience, intelligence, and good communication skills we'd have avoided all this headache. Instead they like being internet tough guys. Also, passive aggressive posting.

Also, the peanut gallery comments are kinda stupid.
