It's more like Novigrad settled south of us, because there was no Novigrad when we settled there; we beat it by a full week, and it was at least level-8 when we chose the location.

A village could really only defend itself against vastly superiour military power by either paying the levy to the "feudal lord(s)", or simply escaping by being obscure and hard to find. The third option, really, is to become stop being a sheep and become a wolf too.
If it were straightforward RvR, I'd gladly take it, and adjust accordingly. But it's not even RvR, it's griefing -- the difference being that RvR respects the game, while griefing seeks to kill it.
I think a few people in this thread think that losing a winepress affected me, while in fact it did not. What it did illustrate, however, was to which lengths some people would go for their griefing, taking so much trouble to steal/destroy an utterly meaningless object that could so easily be replaced, just for the sake of demonstrating that they keep tabs on us. What makes it so annoying is that it's utterly pointless; like cutting down the trees in our common area, no crippling blow to our collective effort was delivered, it was just done to piss us off. Well, if they get their jollies doing that, I guess I just have to move on to something a little more constructive. I certainly see nothing good that could possibly come out of a game that tolerates this.

If I remember correctly, you're a Goon, right? I've seen Goons in action before; but for those who might not know them, Goons have this unfortunate tendency of showing up in games and telling other people how it should be played, looking for every loophole to make damn sure they do. Because "The Internet Makes You Stupid", right?
