What Happened To You Today?

Reyson

If we eliminate Lyrin, then it's only fair to get rid of Rangor, and it ends up being even! Silly sylvans.

Renek

Picked up the harvesting and remedies tradeskill. Thanks @Mhaldor for making me feel like a legit forestal as a sentinel. Oh and replanting 131 rooms sucks btw

I'd honestly be on board with easier replanting....so long as they bring back the ability to set forests on fire >>

Kiet

Did we really get 131? Seems like a small price to pay for andrasteoth trying to uproot totems at 8 am semi-daily.

That's what the logs said. Between EI, Black, Darkenwood and a few others yeah. Also thanks @Kiet for lvl 78 lol

Cooper

Yeah. That was a direct response to Greoth and Andraste uprooting in city totems at 3-5am 4 separate times when we didn't have a single person online.

You can expect us to retaliate a few more times.

It's actually not that bad right now. Since you can't overharvest and with the rules we have set it's already easy enough. Takes about a minute for each room.  Plus when you have 5+ replanting at once it goes by quick

Just sucks when we don't have the power to fight back but I understand the whole attack while they are not there. I look forward to more fun!

Kiet

We attacked when you had potentially  2-3 times our numbers and several people with experience leading, that's hardly us attacking when you're not there (unless you mean their attack on us while we were literally not there).

Also you can have your level 78! Good trade for a few % at level 99.

Nobody wins when you start the game of off-peak griefing. It just escalates endlessly.

The retaliation wasn't off-peak griefing, just regular-timezone-skirmishing.

You guys had just about 25 possible defenders off your cwho, and repeatedly attacked us with groups of 10 or more. The biggest our group got was 11 at the same time. This was peak online time, just after serenade on a Saturday.

Like usual @Daeir doesn't have a clue what happened but jumps into the conversation anyway.

What has 3-5am got to do with it? You do realise there are people that play this game outside of the US and outside of a standard 9-5 working day?

Time zones are a cop out in the "You did this, so we will do that" argument. 

Tahquil

It tickles me when people say 'so and so did this at x am/pm '. I do understand and feel empathy for the frustrations of being attacked at a time with low or no defenders. But noting an exact time of the attack makes me giggle a bit like they believe that the world marches to their personal beat or that it is the same time all around the world.

Because they came in and uprooted totems when we had 0 people online. Not 1 or 2, 0. We've had to re-ink probably 50 totems, implant 10-15, and uproot several of theirs.

They also flame sigiled about 40 pairs of panties all around Mhaldor.

Nothing about what we did was over the top. At the beginning of our attack we made sure they had plenty of people around to defend, it was peak playing hours, and I set a max time limit of 2 hours for us to skirmish/exterm. We only ended up using an hour and 10 minutes of that time. The time they did it was irrelevant, the 0 people for us was the relevant part.

Ankhareoutef

I don't think noting the time of attack has anything to do with someone being self-centric. Peak times for each city are pretty easily definable.

Marisella

Does not seem like it's an unfair retaliation. Should do it more, because I hardly seem to be around at timings when these things actually happen!

Jenkins

First post.

As a new forestal, I've got to say that last night's exterms were a really enriching experience. Obviously it would have been better if we had been able to stop you, but it was great seeing Eleusis rally together. It's the most community-building I've seen in my relatively short time here.

It also helped me realize that I really need to learn how to fight, since I was basically stuck spamming thornrend like a useless idiot. However, this blind squirrel somehow did find a nut in the form of @Cooper, which is just fantastic for my story equity.

Sorry about the lucksack shot, @Cooper.

Cooper

Haha, it's all good. We held off targeting you until the end of each skirmish because we knew you were newish. I did get bodied hard in one of the last skirmishes.

Kiet

If Andraste/Greoth only played at 5 am EST, it'd be sort of understandable.

They have playtimes spanning several hours every day, and very obviously try this when there's no one on QW MHALDOR.

You're naive or obtuse if you think this has anything to do with them being unable to play at 'better' times. Mhaldor is only fully empty about 1-2 hours a day, and they did this repeatedly.

Frederich

5am EST I usually see like... 4-5 Mhaldorians on QW.

Usually Reyson, Vika, Alrena, and Kiet.  Don't get me wrong, I ain't defending them because I've been hearing shit of Andraste griefing anyone that raids.  Killing them for infamy until they're not infamous.. then taking the city bounty placed on them to kill them some more.

All in all, 9/10 would have loved to watch.

Kiet

My schedule's irregular, but the one time I caught them doing it it was closer to 7 AM EST, so you're right.

Utianima

EDIT: Disregard. Thought Renek was Reyson.

Cooper

Harvesting is definitely a no-no in Mhaldor. I think Renek is Eleusian though. He just meant thank you for exterminating because it gave him the pleasure of replanting.

Yes, you're right. Edited my post.

Rangor

Good thing we're getting even! How dare they uproot totems while someone is asleep!

Lol.

Slap on something IG though, dropping panties around Mhaldor is just outrageous.

Every new player has to learn that uprooting totem is fun, but reimplanting your own as a consequence is not as much fun. Uproot our totems instead!

I'm not saying you have no room to be pissed, raiding / damaging a city in a multiplayer game when you know there isn't anyone to oppose you is poor form. I just see no need to post times, it's very.. American centric of you

Honestly, the only thing that is funny and awesomely so about this whole thing.

You right @Cooper and @Kiet our cwho did outnumber your cwho. But our defense group was 2-3 short of yours when I joined up. And I was more referring to your groups combat ability against ours. Most of your group was known for 1 on 1 abilities sans like 2 or 3 of your group that I have never heard of. Our group had like 2-3 decent people.  Also leading experience does not equate to combat experience. It's very easy to say follow me and say target x person. Most of Eleusis group combat consists of <insert hunting attack here> with very few people actually hindering/venoming properly. Its something we are working on teaching new combatants but usually when something like this goes on we tell all the little ones to run and hide. Plus not everyone was defending last night. A good group of people were rejuving and harvesting to be ready to fix everything.  But don't get me wrong. I enjoy a good challenge and fight. I expect people to raid/exterm us. Its what I excepted as part of my IC ideology. However I cannot speak for others in this city nor will I try. /forumrp SO BRING IT ON HEATHENS. DEATH DOESNT SCARE ME/forumrp.


my log counts 18 people when I logged in. 4 of those being small noncomms and 2-3 of them harvesting or afk. We had like like 11 of us grouped to attack. To your 14. 

Renek

But like I said. I ain't mad. I enjoyed it.

Morthif

I counted 21 non gemmed Eleusians when they started. Though I might of recognized 3 of them
