Neiro and Austen

[AustenG92]

People want to know the story, so I'll give it to you from my side. Read this and decide for yourself.

I first started Salem in late November of 2015, as a new fling. I lived alone, as a hermit, for the better part of a month and a half, trying to learn the game. I was approached on the forums by Aerow, a member of a town called Elysburg. He noted my interest to learn from older players, and put me in contact with Spencer (a.k.a Mr. Talmidge). I was soon put "on trial" as they called it, to get to know me before I was voted into town. All was well at first, and I was accepted. I never had the intentions of what happened to become. I lived in Elysburg, later renamed Newcastle, for months, attempting to learn and grown, but finding myself hampered by "rules". Aerow was my initial mayor, and as he was active sparingly, he allowed Spencer to help him lead. I feel that this is when Spencer began using the town to further his own needs. I was placed in charge of tasks to fulfill, and if I was not like clockwork on it, I was questioned regularly as to why. Neiro joined the town after I had been around a while. He soon caught on to how things were run, not by a council as told, but by Spencer's desire. I tried to learn farming, but he limited me so much on where I could try and how and when. Couldn't get in the way of his beloved cotton fields or his money. Spencer used the town to make clothing for his store and sell to make money, which he claimed was for the better of the town. I never once received anything for the help I did getting things for him to slot or make. I tried to hold conversations about the way I felt things were, but Spencer turned these back on me, saying I was quick to get angry and assume, and constantly threatened my stature in town. After a while of this, things got heated to the point where nothing was able to be discussed anymore, because it was instant arguments from both sides. What Neiro and I chose to do, was not for self-improvement or to raid, but rather to free a town from a leader who was corrupt, who used his town members for his own gain, and was hard headed. It was intended to hopefully teach him to appreciate those around him, not take from them through hard work for no return, and to give this town's other members a chance at a fresh start. Few in the town support Spencer still, but we have many that are still around, and ready to move forward with this town to start anew.

That is my side of the story, and I'm sure Spencer has his. People asked, so I figured I would tell it how I felt.

If you want to know more, feel free to ask. All I ask is that you hear my side before you so quickly judge.

Sincerely,
Austen.

I KNEW IT WAS JUSTICE! I can smell justice from a mile away.

Or wait... Are you sure you didn't just want his scalp?

[Cawalox]

What?!

Killing someone for his scalp aint justice no more?!

Or wait... Are you sure you didn't just want his scalp?

his scalp was neither goodlooking or strong enough to be interesting.

WTB Scalp of marp though...

Nice story though, but it seems you two just wanted to be Caliph instead of the Caliph.

Neither me nor Austen will be mayor of Newcastle.

Few in the town support Spencer still, but we have many that are still around, and ready to move forward with this town to start anew.

Well then. What would we be, as outsiders, to judge how a town organizes itself?
