Defend my mother!

Alrighty guys,

My mom decided a week or two ago that this game I talk about and play looked pretty fun so I got her set up and she has been enjoying herself. However, there is a prick in her neighborhood that has started pillaging her colonies. When she tried to reason with him (because she isn't a pirate like some of us are *cough, cough* and plays this game to build the cities and trade with others) he isn't much for listening. He replies with some BS about its a military strategy game learn to fight or stop playing. Naturally, this has kind of annoyed me. He is attacking my mom for goodness sake!!! If anyone happens to be in this guys area and feel like pillaging this dork in defense of my mother his info is:

Name: Lsag
Alliance: none
Towns:
Krig17 [55:88]
Rantanplan [55:88]
nhack [56:88]
The highest level town is 8 and he has a military score of 13,084. I have spies en route and when I learn what he's got I'll update. I am also planning on sending some troops the 9 hours to him as well. I'll just kick down production to soak the upkeep. Just tell him to leave Valintha (my mother) alone if you attack him.

Thanks guys!!

I sent him a message:

Read the above as: just ship back what you took, don't do it again and we'll look the other way, and if you happen to be randomly assaulted by a member of the TGA you can cite your good behavior as a "get out of one pillage free" card.
.
You won't get much in the way of diplomacy with TGA. Typically, those who don't heed polite warnings just get trampled under foot as our pillagers rush for choice selections of treasure, women, and luxury goods. Unless your goal in life is to become quite intimate with the cobbling of your street, you have about 24 hours to respond in a positive fashion.

Re: Defend my mother!

I love your message Rincewind and your titles.

Im to far away to do anything with my military. If Rincewind gets involved I can ship supplies to his colony close to mine to offset costs.

Lol! Maybe I should start being more diplomatic in my messages instead of answering them with one or two words.

Sorry Aruncado, I'm not anywhere near those towns you named, so I wont be able to help I'm afraid...

Re: Defend my mother!

I have committed to a present attack, Let me get my logistics once this is done and try to recoup some of the 120K this endeavor is costing. I will gladly do what I can!

Re: Defend my mother!

I can slap an 8 hour blockade on his butt. Let me know what your spies say about his navy so I can send the proper amopunt of ships.

Re: Defend my mother!

Wow! What a turnout! Thanks all for the support. My spies are a little over 10 minutes from arrival and I'll see what I can find out for his stuff. As far as my mom goes her player name is Valintha and her towns are Perneese [55:89], Crystal Cover [55:88], and Bay Vineyard [56:89]. The offers of supplies and support are very kind but she is fine on goods and was smart enough to get her stuff on ships before his troops got there so he has only stolen some gold from her. She just wants this dude to go away and stop raiding her towns. So I figure if he doesn't apologize soon we can all send a wave of assault his way to teach him a lesson.

BTW my mom thinks this is so very cool that you guys are coming to her rescue. She made offers to bake cookies etc. for everyone and put them in the mail.

I'll get back when I have more info.

Re: Defend my mother!

The attacks are coming from his Krig17 [55:89] which is higher level than his capital Rantanplan [55:88] and his other town nhack [56:88] is very fledgling and is only level 1 ATM. But he has been attacking from Krig17 with 15ish swordsman, a handful of slingers, and 2 rams.

And the spy reports begin!

Rantanopolis (as of 14.04.2008 19:08:30)
Garrison - 15 slingers and NO NAVY
Warehouse (lvl 5) - 3,720 wood, 534 marble, 301 sulfur
Treasury - 1584 Gold
Level 7 Wall
Level 1 Hideout
Level 3 Barracks
NO Shipyard
Level 1 Trading Port

My spies have also arrived in Krig17 but they are still way to hot to attempt a mission yet. Give me a few hours and I'll have more intel there.
