Killerpoodle the issue is not that he killed some caravans. The issues is that he scouted and attacked people in the GOONS alliance. When they offered to truce him and even invited him to join their alliance, he said no and that he would attack anyone that hit him. So they attacked. He called truce and then started attacking caravans.

I'm not saying there aren't good reasons to smoke this guy. I'm disagreeing with this post:

This is the
general consensus among players, not because it is forcefully
established by big alliances, but because it does make sense....

If someone occupies a resource with their army and I then send a caravan which is destroyed because of it, I wouldn't blame that person. If I am collecting resources and an army comes and destroys my caravan, then I might be looking for a little payback. Lots of times the latter happens and the only way to protect your own caravans is to send an escorting army. This is fair and if it results in the loss of caravans who unknowingly wander into the area, it's a no fault accident imo.

Well I disagree with this whole army-caravan thing.
If no one sends armies out with their caravans, then sure people get bumped, but no one loses caravans in the process. If were all sending out armies with our caravans not only can caravans get destroyed, but troops can be killed. That's just an unnecessary loss of resources due to the having to rebuild caravans and armies - caused entirely by selfishness and greediness. As Eoga has found out having your caravans bumped is annoying, however having your city attacked because you decided to act like a jerk about it is even more annoying. So the smart option is not to be sending out armies and not to be destroying other peoples assets.

I destroyed so many caravans and many of my caravans got destroyed.
I could care less about caravans. I would make them again.
Just my point of view on destroying caravans.

While we are reminiscing about stuff that happened long ago and can't be changed anymore, let me post my very first sent item. Guess I never changed. If anything I got more aggressive later on. Sent By: | Eoga | Received By: | LordSabian | Sent: | 26MAY10 05:35 | Subject: | Re: Hello there. |
| Lordsabian,
I don't
know how you found out about where those diplomatic units came from.
However, I have a right to know which kingdoms I need to look out for
and why.
So I respectfully decline your request to stop scouting
you, because I will keep myself informed and thus I will keep sending
scouts on regular intervals.
I am afraid I am going to have to
decline your alliance invitation as well. perhaps in the future we can
have these kinds of talks again, but for now my nation will stay
independent.
you might want to know that I don't back down
because of a simple threat. Nor I am afraid to go into the offensive if
feel I need to.
take this message any way you like. - Eoga

Received By: Eoga > Sent: 26MAY10 04:49 > Subject: Hello
there. > Message: You find a letter from LordSabian hidden in your
sock. It reads;
Eoga, I have reason to believe that
diplomatic units were sent to scout my city from Eogalis. I consider
this a hostile activity and I would ask to to stop. - LordSabian
PS.
Would you be interested in my alliance contacting you for an
invitation? |
EDIT: hehe, looking at the dates I must be playing for about a month now. although the last week of them i have been under a constant barrage. which is about 25%!

FYI, Eoga complained earlier how his sister was being attacked because of his actions. I have since offered her sanctuary and she has accepted. I have been informed by NUME and GOON that attacks on her have stopped which I thank them for cooperating. The problem of his sister is resolved.
I would like to add that NUME and GOON have expressed concern that his sister's account is really just an alternate of his. I am giving him the benefit of the doubt until give reason not to. Selinia whether his sister or not will be safe in my alliance as long as she does not aid Eoga in his war against NUME and GOON. Should Selinia prove to be an alternate account and if Eoga uses this peacetime to build his troops and strike back at NUME and GOON, he will only have further complicated his current woes.
This is just for the record.

I just thought I post it since sneakypete hinted that I turned down their invitation by attacking them. However, at the time I wrote that no attacks had taken place yet. If people would like to help me, i will never turn you down. however public opinion has showed me that trying to convince people will not work so I will stop trying. that said, I would like to thank everyone that showed interest in this, and I
especially would like to thank Sharpnel for taking care of my sister. I
understand there are doubts about if that account is an alternate me,
however I assure you, she is not. I thank you all for your time, you have been very entertaining in these dark times. -Eoga

To be fair, Eoga. If it wasn't because of people like you, Illyriad would be too boring. Again, good luck in your future endeavours.

It would be kind of cool if Eoga was able to turn this into a real fight though. Not that I wish GOON or NUME ill will, but close battles are more entertaining.
