Meanwhile massive anti-war protests are rocking Tara. Concerns about the process by which the extremely addictive amphetamines that have the nation firmly under the tyrannical hand of Ottar are created have caused protesters to begin demanding cleaner, safer Methamphetamine labs... And dentists. Banners were erected all over the rural landscape of Tara, banners like this...

Quite late unless the point was to be sarcastic. Situation is way too bad allready so I really hope that members of dev team should be more polite. If you really want that this forum will be filled information you should really check your attidude unless you want this for only couple of posters. :o
I'm lost - me working extra shifts and posting news late is sarcastic?

Now someone did compain from my answer to that post. I will wait couple of days and then I will just remove my account from this Forum. i have been playing this game almost at the start and this Forum do have a lot of potential but devs should act as a mentors not make funny jokes. I'm truly disapointed.
Frankly, Zadar, you don't get to come on here with a pompous attitude and tell the dev team what
we're allowed to do.
Frankly, you should also bother to read things. I posted that. Not Azerax. He just found it funny, as I did, and posted it on the Facebook.

Nobody complained about it. I gave you a warning because your reaction to it was unnecessarily hostile to those who
volunteer their time making this game better. And frankly, you need to learn to take a joke.

There's jokes that you make among friends, and then there's jokes that you make to degrade someone else to others. This is the latter.
Yes well, over the years I've heard dozens upon dozens of 'jokes' about how SA/CE ruin Dwilight and Atamara respectively, sucking the fun out of the game for everyone, and there was never any stink such as this raised over that. Respect works both ways.

You obviously haven't been in any of those threads with those "jokes"... and typically a joke requires someone trying to be humorous, which I can
assure you in most of those instances was not the case.
I won't deny that, I'm just saying that it isn't one-sided, and the OOC jokes towards CE in particular have often been more poisonous than the ones flying around now.

This is a valid point. I haven't seen much in the way of jokes, but it's definitely true that CE is often the target of criticism on the forums, some of it quite harsh. I can see how this might lead to a defensive mindset for Cagilan players.

This is exactly why, in every testimony or warning I give, I note that the problems are much more expansive. But fighting fire with fire is not the answer. It looks like there's at least an impetus now (from the top down, even) to do something.
On a similar, somewhat related note, can we move all this non-news stuff out of the thread?
Nice banner
POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
Sadly on a Tyranny that would be a free ticket to the gallows.
peace!
(Thanks to the mod who moved this out!)
And now I'm wondering what kind of King sends one of his children to loot Tara and then just abandon him. It seems that this banner is just Silnarias new border sign and their government has just came out of closet ?
Answer: A king who didn't actually send his child to loot, but had a wayward child who refused multiple requests and orders to stop looting and refused.

What are you talking about? Josep was fined for looting in Tara and told to stop repeatedly. Then he went on a killing spree and was banned. He joined Tara and apparently kept looting.

Fixed that for ya.
For further clarification: "Josep was fined for looting Tara as a Silnarian and told to stop repeatedly."

No, it was definitely correct the first time. Unless Rogeshore is Silnarian now.
Both could be interpreted as true statements. It depends upon what is meant by 'in'. He was 'in' taran regions, looting. He was 'in' Silnaria as a member of the realm. Hence, my clarification. :)

Yeah, we've got a winner here. My badski!
Either way, sounds fishy.
Well you can all check this from the player of Josep or just keep whining.
Report from Josep Keuerleber (9 hours, 22 minutes ago)
Request from Merlin Silverfire (2 days, 7 hours ago)
Sir Josep,
As you might be aware, we're looking to go to war with Tara. Silnaria is disadvantaged and we need to strike without warning. Since you are my knight, I am offering you an opportunity to prove yourself to Silnaria as well as immediately turning the war in our favor.
Please let me know if you're willing.
Regards,
Merlin Silverfire
King of Silnaria
Royal of Silnaria
Duke of Coria
Margrave of Barad Falas
Orders from Merlin Silverfire (2 days, 2 hours ago)
Sir Josep,
I am glad to hear you're willing to sacrifice for our proud realm. Your mission is simple, enter Taran lands and loot for as long as you can, draw their forces south if it is at all possible. If you need to take refuge, Carelia will allow you to pass into their lands.
Should you be successful, you will be rewarded with gold and land that we take from the Tarans as well as being allowed to keep any spoils you gather from this mission.
Regards,
Merlin Silverfire
King of Silnaria
Royal of Silnaria
Duke of Coria
Margrave of Barad Falas
After this letter, I moved out to start looting. Then suddenly I was banned, scapegoated and abandoned by the realm I sacrificed for. Which is why I joined Tara and began to loot Carelia in retaliation to King Merlin's betrayal. I am a fool for doing what I have done, listening to a man such as he.

I call bull!@#$. It directly conflicts with the letter you already sent the League... And Silnaria isn't trging to pick a fight. Merlin isn't THAT stupid. I almost ordered a hit on Ottar for the sheer outrageousness of the entire thing.
Ban him and be done with it. If he stays in Tara there is exactly one logical conclusion: Ottar bribed/cajoled/otherwise convinced Josep to do it.

If you actually believe any of this, I've got about 2,000 shares of Enron stock to sell you.
You have 2k Enron stocks, Geronus? I'd have thrown those away by now, let alone admit I once bought so many. :P

Yeah, I also know some exiled Nigerian Princes who are looking for loans. They'll pay you back 10 times what you give them, once they reclaim their titles of course ;)
