Feel free to spin it however suits your needs, Malek. A man isn't to blame for defending his home, even if those who seek to wrest it from him take to torching the rest of the city around it.

Thats exactly right, which is what I had to do for gwendalynn after she quit aesir and your own alliance mate hucbold who declared the war and probably did so from SV and changed it to I am Spartacus, decided to attack gwen for leaving. I had to arrange protection for her. 

Its irrelevant that it was a feint, how was I or gwen to know that when he sent the troops, its the fact he sent it in the first place, let alone the traitor medal he gave her.

I should say that any player attempting to wrest control of your account via sitting rights should not be allowed. I don't care how benign they believe it to be, that transcends the bounds of normal game mechanics, and should be viewed as harassment, just as coercion of prestige would be. 'Buy me 60GBP of prestige or else' and 'give me (limited, but meaningful) access to your account or else' both have RL implications. While the former goes without saying, the latter means being forced off your account for a period of time, and incidentally gives them access to any prestige items you might have accrued.


Exactly! Them asking for sitting rights is beyond reasonable. This is one of the reasons I have brought it to the forums. That can't be within the rules of the game can it?

I agree fully! I wish I had known this was in the plans, I would have dropped out before that happened. I have spoken to Aesir members and I tried to reach out to the last remaining SV member. I have not received a response from the latter yet.

You were out there telling everyone that people will help you, I guess they turned you down, or you were lying in the first place. 

On behalf of the sindicate, the deal that was in place is now off the cards. Reap what you sow. 


Hello there Malek. I did indeed approach you in global chat peacefully at first when people suggested your name. I then sent private messages to the armies enroute.

I mention the hurricane only because I was not here as a result of it, and thus unaware of anything that was going on in game. I bring it now to the forums because you and your confederation have made outrageous peace demands. Denying my offer of gold and trade goods.

Hey there, thank you for your response!

I did infact politely ask them what was going on when I returned to the game, and they insisted on continuing the fight. As I mentioned in my post above. When I learned what people meant when they said IGM, I did indeed send a game mail, which I copied into a google doc for everyone to read.

I did reach out in private messages politely at first, and frustratedly later on. As I mentioned in my lengthy post above.
