Why hello there.
I have been asked to think about "what would be the best for Celestis", and been suggested that answering this forum post was definitly not what was the best for Celestis. That's why I have not answered this post before, like I would have done otherwise.
I've been told that I posted too much on the forums, and mostly to troll the Tribe (lol...), and that it was part of the reason of this attack. I've been told multiple times that Tribe would attack Celestis to kill me, also.
What is funny, is that I've been told by at last two Tribe members that noone actually even care about me, which is understandable since well, I'm actually friendly with most people as long as I'm not freely insulted or anything. That, and my main has 40 biles. And approximately zero scent to go for.
So, when the waste has been placed, well... I told it to everyone I knew, and also asked Tribe members (that I won't name as I don't know what they think about being named on the forum) what the hell was going on. I've been told that they wanted the rebels. Especially Lallaith ("and co"). I've been told that we didn't sign the Treaty. I've been told a lot of things, and actually, nothing related to Celestis.
So, let's try to answer PmP's post and then write a
gooder story than PmP's.
Ikpeip wrote:Good evening,
A few days back, a vile attack was carried out on an innocent stump farm. This attack was led by "RobertoKarlos," a member of the Rebellion hiding out in Celestis.
Tribe actually didn't know who was RobertoKarlos. They asked me multiple times who was living in my town, and they couldn't tell me basically "we know Emil is RobertoKarlos and that he lives here, give that rebel to us". Because they didn't know anything about it. The only thing that led them to Celestis, was the fact that it's the closer town to Biddas's town and stump farm, and that they concluded the dude who destroyed it was here.
So basically, this happened :
"****, someone destroyed our stuff. Let's attack that town and see if we can't call it Justice."
Justice had to be served.
...Yeah well uh.
It's late, so a more gooder story will come later. Short version is, braziers were destroyed, RobertoKarlos was killed, and we carried off some loots. 4 Snake Skulls total, but Biddas found 3 of those in stumps during the waste claim's defense period.
Don't worry about that mate, I'm taking care of your gooder story.
I present you [redacted1]'s claim. She is a 100% peacefull and neutral player, never attacked anyone or even talked bad about anyone, let alone about Tribe. Her area was around the town core, like everyone's personal areas are. It's been wiped because we didn't care about defending personal areas, as they don't really matter. So Tribe was free to do whatever they wanted here. Whatever, since it was empty anyway. Only hours of work wasted.
Ah. This is Emil's alt. Our only true defenser. He had killed Paul's alt, the one who was guarding the waste claim, so we could try to destroy it with alts. Welp, we failed, because we weren't very nicely organised. I'll explain why later.
This is Dark the mayor, me, and Emil playing on Lazi's character. We were watching Tribe running around our town core, as they couldn't attack us and the walls while we were here ready to defend, with our braziers. The char was only KO'd, and this little episode only managed to break the huge boredom of this whole siege. And it gave me a heartattack aswell, as the guys who were on skype with me can confirm.
My underwears
Bah, you know. We were locked inside our walls, Tribe was bored, we were bored, so they decided to loot our leanto's. Fun time. ._.
Ah, this is [redacted2]'s area. She also was 100% peacefull, and couldn't be there to defend because she had some family stuff to do, like most of us on the week end. Well I'm glad she didn't show up, as she would have risked her main's life to defend it. It wasn't empty because she didn't have the time to altvault everything. I guess that's were you guys found the 4th snakeskull left here by her mate, aswell as iron bars and other quite nice stuff.
Er... My apologizes to the owner of this area, I have absolutly no clue where or who's it was.
Hey look, this was mine ._. Well "mine". Actually it was Lazi's first, she had built a very nice area all alone. The inside of the house was covered with wallpapers, the red ones... But as the number of our townmates was reduced over the months, she left the area to decay and joined the town core. I reclaimed the house before its destruction and was currently rebuilding a few stuff of my own before the waste happened. There was nothing there except this wonderful house. Sigh...
...yep nothing in da house either, a couple of wood logs, 3 baskets, and wooden boxes. I wonder why the ***** you took the time to destroy everything as it was completly worthless, but I guess that you were so bored that you had nothing else to do. Understandable.
Still [redacted2]'s area. She still couldn't altvault anything, so well, these are part of the quite nice stuff you could have your hands on.
Oh look. Our mayor watching Tribe getting inside the walls without doing anything. Hrm, I shouldn't be that bitter towards DarkNacht but I can't help. And will probably never be able to help with that. Whatever. The church and its surroundings belonged to [redacted3]. He doesn't play on week ends so even if there wasn't anything of real value in there, he probably didn't alt vault a lot.
Still [redacted2]'s area. Gosh you liked to screen it while you destroyed it. Poor [redacted2] didn't deserve that much hate
Ah welp, her mate who left that here. Meh !
So now for the story, from my side.
Friday, 20h29 GMT+2.
DarkNacht shows up on skype, and explains to the town that "someone" had dropped a waste claim on Celestis. It appears obvious to me that it is the Tribe, since no one else would do that.
You've got to know that Celestis is and has always been a neutral town, with 100% trusted members. The only and major rule was to not leave any scent, and so, it was completly forbidden to commit any crime. Most people are traders, and peaceful people willing to build and farm their stuff without any bother. You'd ask me, why not signing the treaty then ? Because some of us, like me, don't like the Treaty and its limits. Also, signing the Treaty would make us allies of the Tribe, and Tribe being murderers and raiders, it wasn't an option.
So, here we were with a wasteclaim on us, peacefull villagers that have barely any clue of what can be done or not done. We still have a couple of strong people tho, so I'm confident that no harm can be done to us. It was without counting on the villagers themselves, that actually did more harm to us and themselves than the Tribe itself. You'll find out by reading if you still have the patience to do so.
I still had to go off for family reasons, so did I.
Saturday morning.
My first concern was to warn everyone I know about that waste. Tribe members included. I asked one of them about what was happening, and why. He vaguely answered after a while that it was obivously the Tribe, and that I had to wonder who I had in my town. Welp, as they didn't knew about RobertoKarlos, I genuinely didn't know what the heck they wanted. Everyone was neutral, not antagonizing the Tribe, and being peacefully doing their stuff in their corner.
So the first answer I finally had was "you didn't sign the treaty". Welp, alright, that's a good reason enough I guess. As my own townies were starting to look at me for my forum posting, I also asked about that, but the answer was always "no, it's not you.". Glad it's not me, otherwise I would start wondering about what is considered being forum warrioring T_T
We started to set up some more defenses. Building a stone wall to cover the makeshift fence. Building a few braziers to protect this wall. Meanwhile, I was talking with the Rebels, to know what we should do or do not. [Redacted4] had the kindness to explain me the little trick of the brazier nerfing, and how to counter it. Thank you [redacted4] that was very nice of you btw. I've also been told to make some stomp alts to defend the town. So basically, what we needed was 1) a pclaim to port alts and 2) spawn a ***** of defensive alts. The Rebels also offered me to gather people and to walk to the town as they still had the time to do so before the activation of the waste. Unfortunately I had absolutly no power or authority on Celestis, and couldn't ask them such a thing as I wasn't sure that Dark would have let them in, and couldn't decently ask them to stay outside and risk their chars' life without anything in exchange.
So the rebels didn't come. Although I added Dark to their skype conversation, so he knew about them and about what could be done. We even had a vocal conversation for (very little) better organisation. I explained about the braziers, and about the pclaim needed. Emil alone took the risk to go near the waste claim and to spawn a pclaim for everyone to port alts. We tried to destroy it when it turned destructible, but well, with only 5/5/5/5 alts, and all villagers (me included) fearing to lose their char for nothing, it gave nothing. Welp, Emil killed PmP's guarding alt at least.
Anyway, the main word (from Dark and Emil, our two leaders) was "They can't enter, we have too much braziers, they can't do a ****.". So we kept looking at them from the inside and waited. Waited for what, I wonder, as it was starting to be obvious that only Emil was trying to actively defend the town, while Dark was doing nothing.
I spent most of my time talking with the Tribe members attacking us, who were Mikus, Biddas, PmP, and Brona. There was maybe Badger somewhere but he never talked to me so whatever. Ah, and that rude "greed". We decided he was PmP, but Brona said that he wasn't even a friend of the Tribe.
Ah well, that siege was so freaking boring that I invited Brona, Emil, and Simon to play Town of Salem. Was funny ._.
During my talks, mostly with Biddas, PmP on IRC and Mikus, it came out that what they really wanted was a fight with the Rebels. Too bad that there wasn't any of them here except Emil, and they didn't know about him. I've been told to bring them Lallaith, because it was obvious that she lived here, but as it wasn't the case at all, I've been called a liar for telling the truth. Basically, what PmP told me to do was to convince Biddas that this siege was a waste of time. But as Biddas was calling me a liar 90% of the time, I totally failed. Which I understand since Emil was still yelling insults at him and at other Tribe members over the wall. Not really helping I guess
So the siege continued. It was finally too late for me to stay here, so I had to go bed.
Sunday morning.
Now we are accused to host Ukrachild too. I don't have a single clue of who it is. Certainly not a townie. Anyway I have to go for a family lunch instead of keeping an eye on my town, and so do I.
When coming back, I learnt that Sarina Valentina, Emil's char, is dead. Probably during one of his numerous attempts to destroy the waste claim. Also, Tribe broke in. The first real walls, stone and plank ones, has been bashed, and three nests of braziers has been destroyed with the trick I talked about earlier. I asked Mikus how it happened, and no one was actually defending. The church and some of one towny's stuff had been wiped. And the Tribe retreated for some reason.
Monday morning.
As far as I know, they never came back. Emil finally managed to convince
someone to stop hiding like a coward and to go out of town to destroy the waste claim that was unprotected. He couldn't really do it by himself since two of his chars had been killed, and the third he was playing wasn't even his.
Someone finally did it and it's the only thing that
someone had done to actually defend his town.
Now what I'm gonna tell was certainly not supposed to go out of our town private conversation, but I'm actually mad enough to not give a **** about it.
I know that Emil probably brought Tribe to our town. Not a big deal, since it was only a matter of time before they would attack us since we were not affiliated to them in any way. Biddas was still telling me that Nemezis wanted to sign the Treaty but Nemezis had left the game months ago. I also know that the ONLY ONE who quite properly defended the town was Emil. And that the only rule we had to follow, was NO SCENTS. Emil never left a scent, except during the defense of Celestis.
Anyway, DarkNacht decided to fire him. I left Celestis 10 minutes after reading those news.
Since we were the two only "rebels" of this town, I hope that the Tribe will leave Celestis alone now. Maybe DarkNacht will finally sign the Treaty. Who knows. Whatever.
Faithfully,
-Vérité.
Edit : TL;DR : Rebels ported alts to scout and help the best they could. Emil aka RobertoKarlos actively defended the town all alone. All the other townies, me included, only watched Tribe going around and destroying the outer areas. We've been a bunch of coward useless townies. Emil convinced a townie to destroy the waste claim. Emil was fired, I've quit Celestis. This battle is over. Celestis still stands.
