A Formal Complaint to the A.D. Union

Actually someone wrote an analysis of what would have happened if Germany had defeated Russian in World War II. Keep in mind this is speculation though since there are many what-ifs.

2 - yes... it usual practice... melee agro, rangers take target and wait if target try to run away - KO.

Well, I agree with most other things you have posted. People always have to keep in mind this is just a game even for the leaders of big factions (others however have the right to make drama out of that fact too, leaders like you will just have to deal with that ^^).
What you mention here however is not common practice. I know I and probably everybody else in Sodom would feel threatened enough, if they get aggroed or even worse a bow aimed at them that they would either run or fight back. It doesn't matter if they did something wrong in the first place. You should reconsider that policy, with skilled soldiers you will still manage to KO someone even without preemptive aiming or aggroing.

With all the power AD has it doesn't need to agro and aim at the people they are talking to. If they did something wrong and need to be killed, just use the scents. If they didn't, don't scare them shitless.

Some people enjoy bullying others.

If there will be no kills right there on place, there will be more drama and destroyed villages...

If you want to talk peace, unequip your ranger bow.

Warning: TLDR post
Alright, this just doesn't seem right to me at the moment. From what I can gather so far is this:


The caravan lost a wagon. They went looking for the wagon in the direction they believed it went missing in which is xymop. They encounter a guy there who barely speaks English, and must of felt threatened.

Now here is where it starts to get confusing. He feels threatened, so AD is called in. But according to the guy who can barely speak English, Sodom was used as a threat. This is before, as far as I can tell, any English translators arrived on scene. As far as i can gather from this thread, the only time they claim that Sodom is mentioned is when they say that the wagon and the supplies in it had been supplied to them from Sodom.

Would rather like to have a chat log of this moment. But as far as I can tell, there should be no way for them to know what he was saying, but rather most likely say the name Sodom and perceived it as a threat.

This seems to be the basics of what happened I can gather from before the rangers arrived.

Next up according to Salaan's post they set up a small camp near xymop, which Im guessing was with the intentions of camping out and waiting for the LS to get on to sort this out. Ignoring the warning on the runestones (were they in english or crylic?) But instead the rangers came to try and take care of this situation. So afterwards they begin to run. Which would seem to me this is where the entire situation should of ended. They were leaving, but rather you used aggression to keep them around.
Fast forward a bit:
We have all these guys koed on the ground. And Im guessing you were all still waiting for a translator to arrive on scene. What seems to happen from this is that one of them got up right before the message telling them not to get up appears, and in retaliation you kill one of the people who were still laying down? Which also brings up the question, if none of them are able to speak english at this point, how are you telling them not to stand up?

Whole situation seems confusing and wrong. Might edit this post with more thoughts and corrections if i can come to any other conclusions. Also as a side note, saying Xymop is a peaceful village is not an entirely true statement, I've had problems with stuff being stolen that I have tracked to xymop lands, so my post may contain a biased view against them.

All Russians are EVIL and should Die

haha was waiting for this

russian?

Aggroing and shooting people before asking question would scare anyone, so it's perfectly understandable that they tried to run. Sending a translator-less party to sort things out is just asking for misunderstanding. Executing without scents, and a different person from the one that didn't follow instructions is very rash. Basically, the whole operation was a fuck-up. Fuck-ups happen to everyone, but the important thing is to make amends and rethink your procedures to ensure it doesn't happen again.
