Salem

Hi, Im in about 10 days in a game. I see lot of claims with fresh evidence beeing robbed all around the area no matter if its completly week with no defence or or big town with decent def..
It should not be posiible but I see claimstones beeing destroyed in those settlements. As far as I know ciamstone can be only destoryed if you commit crime but I dont belive all this noob settlemets were criminals. or ?
I find harrasing new players like this quite bad and its sad.This person is doing it obviously just for fun.
Makes lot of people leave the game with feeling of beeing helpless. I have spend few monts in salem in 2013 and it was all the same never could reach any progress due to constant robberies. I have extremly high patience and resistance levels but this has to drive away 99% new players.

Is there somone who can offer help ? Maybe chasing out that moron ?

Something tells me I know what area you are in. If it is the same area he is already dead.

Also claims that are unpaid can be destroyed. As long as the claim is paid it cannot be destroyed. So the claims that were destroyed are of players who are A: careless or B: not active/playing. It is part of the game. A claim should not be indestructible. Also if you do not like the neighborhood move. If you think the area has a random thief frequently moving around then I suggest just moving. You can call someone in to ranger the area for you but you had better trust that person not to harm you.

Also some advice pick up a scent waste/ larceny see if the criminal is online. If they are not right click the scent on the ground anywhere. You may see a message that the criminal is dead. If he is you know he paid for his crimes. If you are in the area of the recent crime wave I noticed the criminal is from a town north and a little west sitting on the edge of a cliff with a giant waterfall. That criminal is dead.

Thiefs are everywhere, but if it is one that only hitting inactive claim(hence the destroyed pclaim) then you shouldn't complain. Since you are a new player you can use that to your advantage and pick up the scraps. You should spend time building a decent wall with torch post first or move out. Why would you ask for help when it isn't even your base.

I have a suspicion that he does not have a claim yet so things keep disappearing from his logs.

well was online recently I could track him. I can see arrow pointing to his claim. using tianguation I can aproximate his base location but it looks like its not very close to area to area of his attacks.
another thing is he would not leave scents every where if he would just destoying unpayed claimstones nope ? he seems to be in town as I write this right now ...

Keep your eye one him through the scents and just see if he is still alive. I would also suggest you take the scent and lock him in the stockades. You can also track him then go to town. See if he is in the stockades. If you lock him up once and post a picture of him here in this post everyone can go and whip him he will get the idea that robbery in your area is probably not a good idea.

Seconded. It's really no fun to get stocked, and if he's green it might actually kill him as a consequence of disease/madness too because he might not have prepared for that.
