Brighton Beach

[sarkum]

Would the LS of Brighton Beach PM please.

What have they claimed now?* Or do the Stealers of Boats belong to them?

...or are you too polite to dignify this with any response?


*I am still bitter about their clay node.

Do you know what's funny about this particular village name?

Brighton Beach, NY is the most heavily populated Russian city outside of the Motherland. It's also the defacto headquarters of the Russian Mob.

[sarkum]

They haven't stolen anything from me, or claimed anything for that matter. Was just out wandering the other day and ran across a portion of their claim. I did see a runestone I believe you had left Min. Something about stopping in for a pie if I remember correctly.

Is it a Russian settlement?

Is it a Russian settlement?

No one said that. He was just stating that the IRL place with the same name has a high Russian population.

[sarkum]

No he didn't say that. What I said was "Is it a Russian settlement?" Just a question. I'm in the US. I've made "friends" in Germany, Poland, England, and YES RUSSIA. In fact I made my first Spanish kin yesterday. W4 was my first start to finish world and oddly enough I ran into and traded with almost exclusively Russians. I don't have anymore problem with Russians than I do with Americans....that is to say the only people I have a problem with are the ones who are working against me. Be that grief, raid, murder, whatever. The fact that the majority of players I find working against me in W5 are Russians is just a fact and no fault of mine. I judge each player based on their disposition towards me and I approach each player with an open mind.

Aah yes. They invited me for pie, but weren't home when I went to call on them, and haven't said when they might be there (unless they left *another* runestone; I haven't been back, it's not exactly in the most accessible of locations ).

I've only encountered the Stealers of Boats once myself, and don't know where they come from, but as I've taken advantage of what might have been their dump of unwanted empty boats on more than one occasion, I can't really complain too much.

Also the gay capital of Britain..

The thing about the village of Brighton Beach is that they don't have a beach, which confused me quite a bit - especially since shortly before encountering the village, I'd been to Brighton and had lunch on the beach. Discovering that there's a place in America called Brighton Beach makes it all make more sense ... although to be honest I did prefer the mental image of a lot of tanned gayboys (although most of the people I saw on the beach at Brighton were really pasty-white families on daytrips from London, don't let reality interfere, eh?).

Haha yeah I it's the night life where 'they' come out I read somewhere that there's more gay people over 18 than straight people there and Brighton's always the targets of countless jokes, but yeah the village is either full of homosexuals or people from America is what i'm betting
