You know, exactly what Codexia was doing... and notice how the only people that didn't like codexia were goons and the germans? huh go figure
staying hidden just makes questions pop up, like the most obvious "what do they have to hide? probably something bad"
I dunno, after statements like NaoWhut's admission that he did go around rampantly murdering people simply because they were goons as well, I can see how advertising the fact that there's a NEW GOON TOWN would be akin to covering myself in bloody fish guts and jumping into a shark tank.
God knows if Xanadu had just staged a raid on my town, the last thing I'd feel safe doing is broadcasting that there's a new one somewhere out in the wilderness. All it would take is a mapmaker with a couple of days to kill, and a grudge against me, to kill off any hope I have of rebuilding in peace.
