Anyone want a battle?

tuoply · 04-21-2008, 01:38 PM

I've been getting pillaged quite a bit from this guy:

"longair" from "New RC"
on the island of Strepios[40:84]

I've been playing mostly on the Beta server, but trying to get my colony on Alpha up high enough to get a embassy and join up with TGA.

Each time I try to get my military built up to fend him off, he pillages me and destroys all of my troops... If anyone's in the area and could keep him at bay for a bit, I'd appreciate it! I've got his port blockaded for the time being while I get more sulfur to rebuild again.

Thanks in advance!

I think someone should be able to help you out. Maybe we can get Rince to send a nice letter to him.

**Rincewind** · 04-21-2008, 02:41 PM

I'll send him something today.

I need some information on you, like player name and town name.

tuoply · 04-21-2008, 06:15 PM

This is me:

Strepios[40:84] > tuoplis
Player name is tuoply

He's been quiet today, so my port blockade may have been enough to ward him off

Please tag your cities with "TGA" It helps me out a lot

tuoply · 04-21-2008, 07:07 PM

Will do, I'm now 'TGA_tuoplis'

Is this even for people who arent yet accepted into the alliance (No marble to build embassy with)?

I was getting raided and it ended within a few minutes after I put up the TG tag on my town. It was kinda funny.

I sent a bit of sulphur to help you rebuild a bit.

He was the first one who attacked me without provocation. He attacked me in March quite a few times and stole a lot of goods from me. All I did was counter-attacked to take back what he stole from me.

After I have stopped attacking him, he sent his ships to blockade my harbor and a sea battle ensued. He won that time and then he attacked me again through another sea battle. I was prepared for the second sea battle and my city was defended (that was today).

I don't know when exactly he came to your alliance but I can definitely assure you he wasn't in your alliance when I attacked last.

I don't want any conflict with your alliance. I did what I had to do to protect my city at the time and take back what was taken from me. Perhaps you could also see the logic/justice in what I did. I was the one attacked first; I merely fought back.

I will say it again. I don't want problems with your alliance. But since I was trying to get back what was stolen from me in his initial attacks, I am also not prepared to send any of the loot back. Will I stop attacking? Yes, I have already stopped as I have mentioned. But in this ceasefire, I would also appreciate it if there were no more attacks on my city.

I know you said diplomacy is wasted on you but I have cited all that has happened so that you could understand where I was coming from. I hope there is a way we could resolve this without military force.
Thanks!

So I guess this wasn't as one sided as it seemed? I need to write my SOPs for diplomacy TGA style...

tuoply · 04-22-2008, 02:00 PM

Didn't mean to make it seem one sided, I was testing out pillaging in the Alpha account at the time (playing mainly in the Beta account). Here's the log:

03.04. 03:43 Battle for New RC
02.04. 20:03 Battle for New RC
02.04. 19:30 Battle for New RC

Here's the retaliatory attacks on me:

20.04. 18:22 Battle for tuoplis
20.04. 14:53 Battle for tuoplis
20.04. 13:58 Battle for tuoplis
20.04. 12:39 Battle for tuoplis
20.04. 11:14 Battle for tuoplis
17.04. 14:32 Battle for tuoplis
15.04. 13:16 Battle for tuoplis

So "quite a few times" isn't quite accurate

. Additionally, the 10k gold + resources that he got was much higher than the small amount of resources that I originally got.

At any rate, thanks for the intervention!
