A misunderstanding

[Krantarin]

EDIT: Really, it all doesn't matter, they're just seeds.

Fayt, a representative of Pinevalley settlement, and Niltrias, were guarding one of the three patches of new plants by the ROB. While they stood there (they did not claim the land, as that would be a dick move and would prohibit newbies from getting seeds) another player, professedly new, by the name of "superspiff," claimed the area while Niltrias and Fayt stood guard. Now, at this time I came down to see what the matter was. Standing by Fayt in his decision, I asked him to unclaim. We only requested two seeds. Superspiff and Acathla started to tell us that we could just take stuff by force, and might makes right and that we should get off their land. They started to wall in the area with wooden fences. Their continual pestering eventually came to "threaten us, and we'll let you have two seeds." Acathla said he wanted to be the one to harvest, but we would be able to have two of the seeds. I said that that would be fine if I could aggro him, because otherwise he could harvest all of the seeds and log out. Despite my aggroing him (and not attacking) we still professed nonviolence, requesting only two seeds. The two goons called for help at this point (we're still not sure why). Many goons came, including Bob Bill, or something (apparently their leader). They started talking about how we were trespassing on thier land, and asking how we would feel if they walked into our village with battleaxes. We once again repeated that we only wanted two seeds and were there long before they claimed. The Bob character threatened us with attack at first, told us to leave the land immediately, and in the end, threatened us with war.

We stayed there for two minutes and then decided that war with goons was not worth it (even though we probably could have killed them then and there) and left. Upon heading to the other patch, we found out that this patch was also claimed. Bravo, the guy who claimed it said he would have given us plenty of seeds, but we maid Delamore mad (apparently this Bob guy?) and he needed to follow his orders. He continued that the seeds would go to the same goon/4chan group that the other seeds.

Now in my point of view, this monopoly is an asshole move, but our settlement is not going to go steal seeds or declare war on gooncastle (even though it is very, very tempting). Instead, I'm putting out a request to Jorb or Loftar: Please place more spawns around the map or give Pinevalley seeds to share with the non-goon/4chan populace. Allowing this monopoly was not what was meant to happen, I'm sure, and these seeds should certainly be spread about.

[Jackard]

devs will probably add more spawns once the new crops actually do something

don't worry

Delamore = Bob Tim or whatever the fuck his name is ingame.

This comes as no great surprise to me. Griefing for the loss.

Either way, I do have some oinions, and once they are ripe I'll be glad to share Hack : ) I was unable to get any of the other crop because, as you said, one field was claimed and the other was not yet ripe when I looked (Fayt was there guarding it, and it was unclaimed - so yes, the Goons came last).

If people weren't such asstards this wouldn't be a problem.

Edit: ALSO JESUSFUCKCHRIST THE FORUM IS SLOW.

Definitely.

And hopefully, Jackard's right. For now, griefers are winning, though.

Goons != 4chan

Were they deliberately trying to keep anyone from getting seeds though?
Or were they simply being self interested?

It's not like they ran into your camp and stole all your seeds that you'd planted there yourself.

Have you offered to buy some seeds off them or someone else? (Laketown or Bottleneck) The nicer settlements might even give you some seeds for free (good will and all that)

[Blaze]

Laketown and Bottleneck also have patches of said plants, so there is no monopoly, just a small amount of time between now and the future availability of seeds.

On a personal note: I think it would be fun (For me) if there was more heavy-handed conflict between SA and other players. Don't get me wrong, a majority of the players are decent, save for a few rear-ends-in-top-hats that exist on BOTH sides. Of course, casualties will appear, but nothing that'll break the game itself. In the end, most of said violence will be carried out by the aforementioned PITAs. A little violence now and then to weed out the undesirables.

[Delamore]

I asked politely for everyone to leave the claim for a moment, I was refused every time when I spoke politely.
I plan to give these seeds out actually, the claim was to stop them all being taken.
You could have had as many as you wanted, but you all stood there on a claim you did not own, it was all very hostile so I acted hostile in return.
If anyone wants seeds just ask.

[Krantarin]

The simple idea that seeds that were meant for public use now need to be bought appalls me. I guess that my settlement will wait and see...

@Blaze-I'd be happy if you started a war, and my settlement would be eager to supply you, but we'd rather not be the targets...

And Delamore beat me to the punch. Delamore, you did not own the claim either, yet you were eager to kick us out of the area that we had staked out first. There was no need to claim the area in the first place! I'm not taking your BS.

We never threatened or attacked. We simply stood in the area that we had been standing in for over four hours, not claiming so that everyone could enjoy the public resources. And were kicked out by people who came after us.

I think the rudeness is coming from the other side.

I believe Krantarin would like some seeds, I'm asking on his behalf, could you please see your way to giving him one of each of the new types?
