You're being a bit harsh there SunStorm about the foresight,I think the heart of the issue lies with _duQ getting tired of the game,being convinced to stay, and then deciding that if he was to continue,that he would campaign to remove towns that were near to his cities.Ordinarily this could be a trecherous path to take as it may upset people,but if you have reached the point ingame of being passed caring,then it probably translates to doing things your own way and not concerning yourself with the consequences,breaking the shackles shall we say.Still,when veteran players leave the game it only means that the rich get richer and ultimately the poor get poorer,it is driving a wedge further between the elite and the also rans.

I do pity him now, but feel as though he has brought most of this upon himself.  And he is still attacking Berberos ~ trying to finish what he set out do in the first place...

At one point (during the beginning) when Lorre had requested a 1 on 1 - he named his price.  He intended to raze _duQ's capitol and nothing more...as a warning for the future if he continued to raze the cities of defenseless players.  It is unfortunate that Valar let him stay under their wing as long as they did - as raising _duQ's capitol was the city in question concerning the H? member.

Actions lead to consequences - and in regards to this, I feel _duQ lacks intuitive foresight.

Everyone has a time limit playing this game,it would appear _duQ has reached his.And so Illy loses another established player,the pattern continues._duQ,for or against him,has helped create an interesting tale in Illy, which has entertainined many,solidifying some and separating others.No game rules were broken just a matter of the community's moral opinions (and propaganda) colliding with an individual's,there was only ever one outcome.Good luck _duQ,supposedly we are better off without you,pity the bully police couldn't work out a way to preserve all concerned.

Your shocked quartermaster reports that - in case you hadn't noticed it - a cloud of locusts swept through your city earlier today, devouring or carrying off 14888 Food, 11 Livestock, and 6 horses.


***Based on the Time stamps: The plan as far as I can tell was to cast Plague of Locusts.  I don't think he did his homework in that I had six cities within range.

Well I never had it sent to me and I never contacted anyone about it. In fact, I am not even writing this post

I also had it sent to me but I contacted darkone instead having had previous contact with him.

"I value your aggressiveness and your wargaming mentality but I couldn’t see in you the political shrewdness of the likes of H and Dlords."

Ahhh, that just makes me all warm inside.

And from the messages  above i'm of the opinion _duQ is just about as selfcentered as a supermassive black hole. So because you were incredibly militant and had 4K troops at about the same time you got your 2nd city (the gold upkeep on that must have been massive) you believe everyone has exactly the same capabilities as that.

And i share your sentiment Dhenna. Cowardice is a sad sad thing.
