Magistrates Case Archive / Re: Mocking the Magistrate decision

« on: April 30, 2012, 04:05:16 AM »

Dear Players, 
     I do not feel i am "mocking" the magistrate's decision.  Those words are rather harsh.  I did disband some of the militia, but ran out of funds.  I then explained the defection of the remaining Summerdale troops in character, having them join our realm because of the freedom it offers as opposed to the oppression of Summerdale, being led far away from their homes to be an occupation force.
      I recieved some gold from another player in order to rebuild my forces so i could continue disbanding militia. But the pending attack by our enemies. has left me with the feeling that disbanding them now would be a betrayal of my fellow realmmates.  I earlier did  destroy the recruiting centers in Mt Black, that i had constructed.  I'll abide by whatever decision you say, deleting the character, leaving the game, whatever.  I've enjoyed the game since 2008, I have never cheated, and do not feel i have at this time.  Indeed, I wonder how many ore "power gaming" having multiple characters in Dwilight, when we should each have but one?  But that is another story, for another day...

  Regarding this action, I would like to express what I did, and How I saw it in game.   First of all, I want to say that I play Battlemaster as a fun diversion for exactly the reasons stated on the entry page.  I don't live or die by it, nor do I lose sleep over it.  I enjoy the role playing and character development that we all put into it.   One thing which does have me a little unhappy is the thinly veiled accusation that I cheated.  I don't play the game seriously enough to put that much thought into such a plan.

This is how I saw the situation.  Summerdale had takem over the province But as an oversight had not installed a new Lord. so taking advantage of my position as lord, and (as I assumed an oversight by Summerdale) I closed the recruiting centers, and using the politics prompt, switched duchies back to Libero.  I was unaware of any Bug as it is not my custom to read bug tracker data.  I don't know where to find it, or probably wouldn't understand any technical data.

I wanted tp voice my perspctive on this, I do not like being accused or labeled a cheater.   If a bug allowed me to do what i did, then we will do what we need to do, then again, Perhaps it can be played out in another way as well.
