Well you haven't seen the worst of brodgar imo lol. At the climax of the "war", Robben was suspicious of anyone who joined the village that was new to the game. Not to mention his campaign of shit posting. If you disagreed, you will get flamed by the "Lord Rube".

This was something I tried to stomp out, robben constantly harps on about spies in an open village with a skype chat of over 50 dudes. It was to the point where people were checking skype profiles and googling them to try to find people who might be "the spy" because they live in the same country as attackers.
His defense of skype as the text chat program for brodgar included the fact that he could snoop on members profiles to check for spies.

well I mean, didn't you know, literally every single other player is just an arinran alt, were only talking to keep up appearances, it's poor robbin all by himself against the world.

Ainran should be proud, I've seen some damaging raids but this has gone to the point of PTSD where everything is Ainran, and it's actually pretty funny if it didn't involve snooping around peoples lives over a video game.

Nice thread ... I heard all much the same things from residents of last worlds Brodgar and did try to persuade some of them into posting what was really going on but, can understand why they felt they couldn't.

So, at Ronin, are you now the leaders of New Brodgar or of a separate group. with Bordgar having failed or regrouped elsewhere?

Brodgar is regrouping elsewhere, while a group together with jade that includes all the players kicked from the brodgar conversations is setting up elsewhere.
We're not making brodgar over here, we're just trying to get something setup for us exiles.

Thanks for the reply and good luck moving forwards. :)

This world start was difficult enough for casuals/newbs without having to deal with you and your friend.
Even stronger more established groups like Odditown had issues with early raids.

There's nothing more challenging for large groups than self-entitled players constantly insulting their peers. I'm not sure why it was necessary to go on in our chat about newbs having down syndrome, players being pussies, and demanding that anyone and everyone do everything you want, when you want. I'm not sure what you expected playing with New Brodgar, but you clearly were misguided, and have clearly taken this very personally.

We got our butts kicked by organized, persistent, and motivated attackers. Defeat sucks, but you can't always win. You learn more about how to improve from loss than from victory.

I will say we learned who we want, and did not want, to play with. It's been enormously more congenial since we left your and Sabinati's group.

"The Rube", "The Vagina", "The Brodgar Vets" and "The Downs" are sorry we disappointed you. You've disappointed us too.

Good luck.

Wow, you sound totally delusional right now mate.

This account of your incopetence and lack of capacity as a leader seems to go along the lines of your past failures as a leader.

Last world you could not even provide a bloody brick wall for NB that would totally solve all your raider issues.

You are like the worst person to be put in charge, I feel sorry for the newbs that are fooled into following you into their inevitable goresome deaths!

That was a very well written thread, and
I would love to read more of your adventures!
I'm also sorry for your experiences with
Robin, I feel somewhat responsible for the
events because of what transpired last world.

I hope to see you standing strong in the end!
