poor placement sucks >_< (newbie mistake)

[maxgor]

We started around 2-3 days ago (3-4 irl friends). We are all in university so not much time to play [some in pharmacy and engineering, etc]
We made the newbie mistake of starting our own little claimed land around north of "Fort Escape" and brought with us the stigma of being "russian and evil"

We aren't Russian, we are a group of Canadians, and we have given seeds, etc [when we ourselves only had less than 5 wheat seeds] to help other newbies to the North, etc... Sucks that we might have to relocate as we got ganked by a group of people at war with Fort Escape~ But we talked afterwards and realized it was due to our poor placement~ *sigh*

Just trying to leave a message for people here that we aren't associated with them and are just trying to use our meager amounts of spare time to get bigger ^-^ and maybe help in not getting us raided so we don't have to relocate to the south,east.~

PS: To the people that raided us earlier yesterday and killed us, yeah it sucks for us~ but we do realize it was collateral damage. So no problem~! And thanks for letting me talk normally today with you, even though you were chasing me around to tell you our situation and giving us some tips!

PPS: We are going to place a bunch of stone things around our waterfront area so as to mark us (for good or for bad *sigh*) and hopefully we won't have to relocate then ^^

Thanks for reading, or not ^-^

You're taking this pretty well for being a victim of collateral damage. If you ever have a village claim up, I can use one of my alts to help you a bit.

Where the heck is that Fort Escape?

"Russians" stuff is just a casus belli, nobody cares if you are actually a Russian or nor. If you was claimed to be Russians you should prepare for war. Or, mostly, genocide. It's just like to be called a wood-murderer. I would recommend your to be more cautious with your neighbours. But anyway if you are still alive then they are not going to kill all of you yet. Also i think that "to mark" is not a good idea. You'd better mark it with inpenetrable brick wall, at least.

Funny, that is such a typically russian thing to say!

Sharpens blade.

[Killface]

Yeah sorry guys, that was me.
I still suggest moving though. =P

Where the heck is that Fort Escape?

its in the north-west grid. the furthest one. about the middle and on the right of that grid i'd say. Ive had quite a few people (refugee's and travelers) to tell me about it.

[parapheen]

Oh, thank you.

I could suggest to look for "Crossroads" villagers through this forum, bunch of nice Canadian guys with a strong leadership, maybe you could restart with them :>

[Sarvoth]

Northwest eh? Could some kind person provide a screenie of said location? I might know where it is at and I want to make sure I stay away...

pretty much anyone in this general vicinity is subject to random murder.
