Salem

So this goes under the headline, Don't **** where you eat. Especially in Roanoke.

A group of friends of mine were setting up a new mining camp, and were busy little beavers, digging and mining when their place got hit. Someone stole a boat, took 2 chests full of nice inspirationals out of a lean to and cut up all the fish they'd been saving for some reason. That person then sailed away, then blew the boats and chests so they couldn't be tracked and left nothing but claim tracking. They thought they'd be safe back in the darkness over the mountains but as we'll see the mystery deepened.

My friends called on me to hunt down the perp, and their trail led to where the darkness used to be, but since it's been moved it was relatively easy to get to and will be relatively easy to hit. My guess is a single member of the Town called 'The Order of the Crimson Rose' hit a claim near them without permission and thought there's no way this newb digger has Ascent to the Summit or can go this far in the time it would take. But they didn't expect me. Bwuhahahhhahahahahhaha (evil laugh).

These fat rosie faced monks are ripe for the picking. It's a sweet 3 biome base near the darkness with a nice big lime pit next door, Their town is 4x4 cells in area and is larger than most that I've seen. They have a lot of fences, not a lot of Braziers that I saw, I counted well over 50 piles of coal so there's probably a mine somewhere in the middle, there were many roses and they're prone to leaving all their gates open for people to just walk right in and look around. I got 2 fences deep before I even hit the town. I could have summoned and killed the jackass who robbed my friend but then I, the lone hunter that I am would leave evidence for them. And who wants to be hunted for the next week. So here's how this is going to go down.

Either:

1. 'The Order of the Crimson Rose' pays me 10,000s (5,000 for me, 5,000 for my friends) and never hears from me again as long as they leave my friends on the hillside alone. Their location and screenshots of the mini-map stay hidden forever.

2. I now have a homestead claim in my pocket. I will plant that claim, expand it and let any group bounce there on my homestead secret for the right price. (Russian, MM tribe, or any other big group of raiders that want to make a name for themselves, I'm looking at you Vikings) These guys aren't treaty members, or at least haven't followed any treaty protection protocol that I know of. They have literally wiped out whole forests of Maple trees, and scarred the Earth for miles around. The bidding starts at 2000s to compensate my newb friends. Please Pm me with any offers, Bidding stops next Wednesday , when I will take the highest bidder. You can stop the bidding at anytime by meeting the 10,000s price.

3. If there are no bidders I will simply post their exact location coordinates, screen shots of the mini map, and possibly let anybody who wants to bounce out there to mess with their town or so that they can plant a spy near their town and take whatever they want at a later date.

I await your offers.

The 3rd option here is the most plausible one.
Usually there's not too many pilgrims interested in PAYING somebody for the location of a perpetrator, it's the other way around. Unless it's actually somebody's foe.

This is true, and that's probably what'll happen. I may even charge 50s apiece for the homestead secret. All of the Coal and much of the fenced in area was outside the town claim and barrier stones, so that tells you how big the place is. I know the MM are moving into the Server and may need a nice base like this, Plywood fence in place, mine in the middle of town. it's right on the lip of the darkness and all that lays out there. It's pretty far away from the CoD so that works for all the big tribes also. My guess is 4-5 guys could take it out and build it again. You also don't see many 3 biome spots in the Darkness. Like I said ripe for the taking. And I have plenty of evidence for people to summon up the rosie cheeked monk or monks and kill them in their sleep.

Just reveal a little more info about them in this thread a day until they pay up

lol post away no one gives a *****

That is a great idea. I'll reveal a little bit more information until they get more and more worried. Maybe tomorrow I'll show people the 50 coal piles laying there for the taking and then the day after that the nice plywood wall surrounding 16 cells just waiting to be taken. Who knows maybe the CoD pays me 3000s and says "let us port 10 raiders there". Boom town's down. At the very least people now know they're raiders and will treat them accordingly. My friends had absolutely no skill in C n D so they were completely innocent and were 40 minutes away so they posed no threat. They didn't really get away with that much, just a bunch of high end inspirationals (Cricket fiddles and such), maybe a new hat from the open beta package, some dry boards, the boat and a bunch of fish for some reason. No iron, no money, no tools. Why risk being summoned by robbing someone so near to you. They clearly didn't think the people there would have Ascent to the Summit or be able to travel in light darkness and they couldn't but they had friends that could. Hell I didn't even need the torch I brought. It did take me awhile to get there but I made it with 6 minutes to spare. Now I know where they live and can give anybody their location and could pluck that guy at any time, he's still offline right now, and I was able to get within sight of his lean to without having to break down a wall because of open gates. All that for 2 chests and a boat which they blew up anyways so they wouldn't be tracked.

They'll give a *****, If I summon the thief. they'll give a ***** if the Russians come knocking. Is this your place Dallane? Somebody'll want that info. Maybe somebody'll want a spy next to the town just to mess with them.

If it was mine you and your buddies wouldn't have a place left.

As i said no one gives a ***** if you want someone to pay you to get the info.
