I was double thinking about making this thread because it would reveal who I am. (This happened 3-4 days ago)
Anyway, so at the time I had opened up trade relations with a village to the south of me, I was trading tin for materials and stuff like that. I had just started being able to mine in the cave that I inhabit
One day I log on and my friend Cublan who was the leader of the village started talking about being attacked, I was like "I am sorry can you repeat that ?" Up to this point I had not really heard of extreme aggression towards neutral villages.
After some frantic messaging I learned that they had to evacuate the village because it was being destroyed and that they could not defend themselves against these people. However 2 people were accidentally left behind. And one of them was the friend that introduced me to the village.
Naturally I wanted to save her character so I grabbed my boat and headed south to go and pick her up fast so I could get her away.
Unfortunatly on the way I met one of them, he had taken one of the village members (George) "Hostage"
He was without clothes and started harassing me with phrases like "do you like sucking ---- you -----" (Censored) and blocking my travel. I was informed he was a killer and that started to make me worried. But I was more concerned about my friend.
So I (After some maneuvering to get past blocking me with his boat) managed to get to the city, and the amount of red assailed my eyes. It seems these griefers managed to take down a pally without a sledge or ram.
Turned out she escaped to a hut north of me and I was afraid to go back as there were now 2 of those guys chasing me, threatening to kill me and whatnot so I got out of my boat and hearthed, but not before they took my boat.
About 30 minutes later they turned up at my place..... I ran into my caves to lose them and alert any miners near me. My stuff is intact but as for items....... Well lets just say I practically got to find some more seeds, ores, wax, food, fibers and leather.
Anyway I am scared fecal less by these guys and I think the group that evacuated are as well.
This is not a help me thread, as we are already screwed. But a warning to others out there to look out for these people, and if you see them RUN! Do not walk , to your nearest logout button.
(Though some help rebuilding would be nice)
