How can this be fair?

Hello folks!

Okay, so a bit of history here: I joined the game some 8 months ago or so. Presently I have 6 towns with a total population of 23,000 and some change. Nothing spectacular for sure. But I have worked hard for my gains.

I joined a "training" alliance called the Screaming Valkeries back in January in hopes to learn the game a bit more. Unfortunately, it wasn't much of a training alliance, though they did answer questions, it wasn't a structured experience, and didn't provide a lot of information forthright.

Along comes September, and with it, Hurricane Irma. I was forced to evacuate my home as I was in a mandatory evacuation zone. During the time that I was away. Which has been the entire month now, the alliance Aesir declares war on TA2IN.

My alliance SV, apparently also declared against them, though I did not see it in the news section before I left. The one I did see though was SIN declaring war against SV.

When I was able to touch a computer again these past couple days I come back to find that I have one huge army sitting outside of my town Qeynos which houses half of my 20k population for my entire account. Quickly I began asking around, and they suggest I leave the alliance, so I did.

But that has not helped anything since SIN is now claiming a "PPP" policy, which basically means they persue you anyway. I asked for peace 7 different times in private messages, and in global chat and all of them were refused. Flustered and frustrated with what I perceive as bullying a newer or vastly weaker player I got angry and called them out on their atrocious ways on global chat. People kept telling me to use IGM. but being new I thought that meant in game message, which I had assumed I had already done through private message.


Well, so I was wrong, and I sent an in game mail once i learned of the error and still they make ridiculous demands for peace against someone that has nothing to do with, nor wants anything to do with, the war they are presently involved with.

They want access to my account through "sitting" rights, and half of my entire progress in the game for nothing. I have never taken a hostile action be it militarily, diplomatically, magically, nor comercially against a single active player in my entire time playing the game.

I would happily fight if I was fighting an equally, or even a 10k population higher player, but I am being assaulted by 8 people, the smallest of which has magnitudes more power than I do.

So I ask yall, is this the game? How are new players supposed to stand a chance if they get wiped out just as they finally start getting towns in the 9k and 10k population range? I have two towns with any population to speak of. Kelethin and Qeynos.

Anyway, their terms of surrender were that I give them sitting rights to my account and lose half of my progress in the game. How is it not against the rules to demand access to someone's account?
