We're a group of people from a forum (
http://www.rpgcodex.net ). When we joined we setup a private forum (for members only) about this game at our forums. Delamore's been demanding access to it ever since to prove we're "not in league with Xanadu" (with whom we've setup a bunch of trades since we started because they seemed nice and were very helpful to us as nubs, who had no idea what we were doing).
He's claimed we're nothing more than a 'Xanadu n00bie town' (That Codexia == Xanadu).
The short answer is:
- Delamore subtly threatened us for access to our private forum otherwise "something might happen". He also reminded us ever so gently that GOONS attack people (and are one of the only groups that do).
- I told him no. I'm not giving out forum access under threat. Anyone I find who has given out access will have their account and all posts deleted, then be perma-banned from our website.
- We are neutral. And in fact have been encouraged to trade with GOONS by Xanadu (of all people). We're not interested in becoming anyone's army. Just in being good world citizens.
Initially he demanded access, otherwise we'd be punished. He changed tack a while later and started offering Q250 Thane Rings to anyone who gave him access to our private forum with the caveat that we should give it now 'before things got out of hand'.
He never really attempted to trade anything else. It came across mainly as demands. When we didn't respond to his threats, Delamore obviously decided now was the best time to make an example out of us.
This is the last conversation I had with him (Sorry, didn't have an IRC client so images are the best I could do at the time).
UPDATE: I now understand GOONS / Waynesville are killing the people of Innsmouth who we also traded with.
