by Azkanan » Mon Aug 16, 2010 5:24 pm We set up two days ago and have had a very decent start. We spent pretty much the entire day setting up, we have all the starting resources; leather, farms- yeah. All that.
Yesterday, we awoke in our (palisadeless) village to find runestones in the middle of the road. It had the skeleton of one of ours old villagers - he had 1/1 HP because he was a newbie and actually killed himself - which these russians had decided to claim as their kill. The runestones said to pay 20 Bone Glue a day or be killed. Another said "rest of you die tomorrow!!" or some stupidity.
I decided that this was a ruse to have us online so they could chop us into little chunks. We set up about building a massive palisade (1200+ tiles long) around the village, far enough out so that they couldnt sling us from the outside. They didn't come that day, so we decided it was a joke by one of the members. Nethertheless, we had a palisade with two gates. Required anyway, right?
So today I thought I'd have a day of rest and enjoyment, finishing my Oven and having a good time. About thirty minutes later, a villager told me that some guy was at the north gate asking to come in.
Skip the chat log here, but he was basically trying to keep our attention/trick us into letting him in to "make best village over world" or something. I told him we knew he had friends scouting the wall - which was a bluff/guess - and he ran off down the wall.
This is the part where stupidity comes into play, because we didn't seal one of the gate's cornerposts, whereas they then blocked us in and shot at people, luckily missing. The rest of the corners are sealed and we are now under siege.
============================
TL;DR
Russians are t-bagging us defenceless pioneers, when all we want to do is be left alone. We think we are in the Sodom area, so if anybody around there wants to give a hand, would be grateful.
We're not worth the kill due to our shitty lp/stats/so forth, but I'm sure these bear-cape'd necromancer-robe'd Russians, at least three of them to the count, are worth the kill. If not for the LP, our gratitude.
We think we may be in the Sodom area because there are a number of villagers near here, or were here, linked to some Sodom threads. Draconium, Blockland... and a few others I can't remember. A guy was stolen from and was left a runestone near Blockland's ruins, saying "<name> of Sodom stole from you. Bye."
There's a few "scaredofsatan" or something runestones around, too, if that helps.
