Thats like telling someone that works at McDonalds that they're better off farming their own wheat,processing it,making it into bread, herding cattle, butcher it, grow tomatoes and pickles than asking his employer to give him a 99c cheese burger for his work because that's too much of an expense to others. Who even understands the purpose of a village here? I offered to join the top 3 villages , which by its position one can assume has players that can easily amass large quantities of food without effort, hell, carrots grow like wildfire. If you told me "hold up there we aint giving you a Q100 Battle axe and pearl curious until you show your worth" thats understandable, but saying its too much to ask for food is incredibly petty. I cant walk 10 feet on my newbie character without stumbling over half a dozen rabbits , or herds of chicken running up to my feet , looking me in the eye and whispering "eat me". "Id love to, chicken" but all my cupboards are full and im overweight now, self conscious and walking at a turtle pace. Whos really starving in HnH? Id like to know, you can come take safe refugee at my hermit paradise I set up 1 day ago thats overflowing with food, we'll refresh you with some q10 water, the most delicious rabbit meat this side of the Serengeti, and here have a few dragonflies , on the house, I know times are tough.

In any case, it was a "take it or leave it" offer. people can act like Im asking too much but its their loss. It was nice to get a perspective of what village leaders and active members consider important and valuable. Now off on my way. Ill keep you guys updated on my progress.

Players make this same proposal you did, and after they get in the village they disagree with LS policy, or have arguments with other villagers, or get raided, or a huge number of reasons, or simply get bored and quit, or move, or betray, and the whole village investment goes down the drain meanwhile the player has grown at its expenses.

I, for one, used to gear up in silk our new villagers, just got tired of feeling that I was asked to provide and after got not even a thank you in return.


I agree with you, you're the only one that gave a very valid and logical argument against my offer. but from my stand point I wanted to let my loyalty speak for itself (thought thats a little too much to ask on the internet), and be a reward to whoever accepted . Although at this point it doesn't matter, I already started my camp.

My question is relevant, if you have intelligence enough to draw basic inferences (which I am not too sure is the case with you, sir.) If none of the "top 3 villages" offered you a position, then it is a reasonable inference that they did not find you as valuable a commodity as you seem to think you are. But then, my question was largely rhetorical, as doubtlessly none of the "top 3 villages" have invited you... not that you even know which villages those are.

A lot of ironic talk of intelligence and inferences , thats real cute. I made this thread and closed it within 24 hours based on feedback and already have a camp set up somewhere...people moved on, no one tried that hard. Do you yet understand how your question is irrelevant? try using basic inferences or whatever else you think helps. By the way, intelligence isn't as brute as you think, its not rhetoric and questioning other for the sake of it. Sticking to the path of truth and not being tainted by emotion is intelligence. Intelligent people dont try to slander others to make themselves feel better, this is what a child does.

You had one comment to begin with, thought not very intelligent, one worth entertaining regardless, so I did. It was

"Man power is more valuable when the men don't think they are the commodity that deserves to be fed, equipped, and taught at others expense."
Yeah, thats called a slave, No ones signing up for that. You dont think man power is a commodity? are there any parts of this statement that's not laughable?
How many institutions/businesses in our modern world clothe,feed and equip its members? Hint, A lot.


I replied to your original comment with a full paragraph, gave counter arguments, none of which you debated. You took a random part of the paragraph (an irrelevant one at that) and ran with it for the sake of having some grounds of criticism or offense. What are you really asking when you ask "Let me know which of the "top 3 villages" sent you offers." to a closed thread that was open for 24 hours? Im not going to even go through dissecting the last post cause its full of insecurities and passive aggressiveness. Since you're pretty intelligence and use inference so well tell me from this post

"My question is relevant, if you have intelligence enough to draw basic inferences (which I am not too sure is the case with you, sir.) If none of the "top 3 villages" offered you a position, then it is a reasonable inference that they did not find you as valuable a commodity as you seem to think you are. But then, my question was largely rhetorical, as doubtlessly none of the "top 3 villages" have invited you... not that you even know which villages those are"

from an objective view, are you really debating or defending a point of view or desperately attacking?
On the other hand if you want to have an intelligent conversation with exchange of ideas without the flamboyant and flagrant childishness please feel free,..who am I kidding, youre a retard. Im just kidding please hold on to your feels.

I would bet a good amount that you find yourself saying this a lot, when you fail.

lol no I'm pretty sure someone defined intelligence and this is not it. That is called APD or being a sociopath.

I stopped reading at "someone defined", I really should have stopped at "I'm pretty sure"
