mouser, thor and to a lesser degree (over the last few weeks) even heffernan have been clued in for two+ months about the particulars of my own raids and how to defend your town, nobody followed the steps given. a minor example would be last month when i told you folks the first thing to do was build a protected TBF to hinder material transport and keep their bell vulnerable. 6 days later.......
"oh, you were not going to build that?"
what the *****? yeah, it is my responsibility to defend the town of a dozen people who have never done **** for me but strengthen my rivals.
today i get a message that "they are getting in, come help us"
"ok have they left scents?"
no they have a claim on our wall........
there is a point where one must simply shake their head, deliver a hefty facepalm and wash their hands of the scenario, that was mine.
lasso's, bstones, darkenbears...... literally every single thing you got **** on with over the last two days are tactics i taught multiple key people in your group so that you could be aware of them and have a chance at defending yourselves.
each and every one of you (that i know of, i am sure there are others living there i do not know or have ever spoke to) including you have received pointers from me at various points that go completely ignored.
will not delve into the semantics of further issues as while i am quite annoyed with you folks i have no desire to embarass you further than this thread has already done.
at the end of the day since i am politically neutral i have no problem assisting people that ask for it, that along with the fact i like thor and mouser is why i have been so willing to "try" to assist your group, what i 100% do have a problem with is when my advice is completely ignored. you folks are now on your own.
for what its worth the same group that just flattened your town and killed all of you in a day at less than half strength has sieged numerous other players on the server that have been around for far less time than you folks have with far weaker defenses who have asked me how to defend themselves, most of them listened and were able to make it through just fine. i never even ask for anything in return, the satisfaction of seeing people do well by following advice given is the reward for me.
mistakes are one thing, it is how we learn. i have certainly ***** up a thousand times since playing and lost a number of characters in that process. doing the same exact thing over and over however (like getting ***** a half dozen times by standing in town afk for an hour or longer like heffernan) is something else entirely and makes it so nobody wants to waste time or risk assets helping you.
