Bottleneck invades Xanadu

[jorb]

I would like to extend a heartfelt congratulations to the people of Bottleneck for stamping out that brazen liar of nations.

My guess is, though, that the crash was due to the 'entering <village name>' crash bug.

Except that's supposedly fixed? I haven't had it happen since I last posted there, at least. (Which, coincidentally, is the day you died I believe).

If you're still getting it too maybe it's worth looking into again.

[Martinuzzz]

It has still bugged me, after I got killed.
My alt lost another boat, I think 2 days after that.

Well.. Me, the Lawspeaker killed in this matter.. My client crashed with a Javascript error when I was trying to run to village gate, and escape from my assailants.
I am not saying that anybody crashed my client on purpose, but I sent a PM to Jorb, directly after my death, to check it out.

My guess is, though, that the crash was due to the 'entering <village name>' crash bug.

Loftar.. Ever since the village update, the client crashes about 50% of the time, at the first click you make after moving / teleporting into village bounds.
I am 95+% sure, that it is directly linked to the 'entering <village name> message.
It has cost me 4 boats, and 6 chests now, and maybe my 100 PSY char too. Although it is very possible, that without my client crash, I would have been killed as well.. I just can't tell, since I crashed, and was dead upon relogging.

But that does not really matter. Losing is fun.
What matters is, that I am very proud of our people of Bottleneck, who have shown: Do not mess with us.
To those goons that disrespected Sabinati's orders and attacked us, even while we had an agreement: Just gtfo.
I told you when you were chasing me, that we belonged to Bottleneck, and had an agreement with Sabinati.
Your only reply was: 'Sabinati... Sounds like a girls name'.
Sabinati: No grudge held on my part towards you. I respect your choice of leaving Xanadu over this matter.

You took it like a champ though, but yeah, we didn't use any bugs to get in your personal claim.

But seriously, you think that razing our village is going to make us want peace? You've left us with nothing to rebuild with. All I destroyed was a two-bit personal claim. You don't have a very good understanding of human nature when they've got nothing to risk.

Of course, that's what makes this game so fun.

You hit him, he hit you back harder... seems like a pretty good understanding to me...


Can't find the quote but there's something in enders game about striking back at someone so thoroughly that they are incapable of ever hurting you again...

the only way to do that in this is breaking their morale

[niltrias]

I dont recall it from enders game, but Machiavelli said:

"Men must either be caressed or annihilated;they will revenge themselves for small injuries, but cannot do so for great ones; the injury that we do to a man must therefore be such that we do not fear his vengeance."
Something like that?


@the goons: A point of curiosity, if the guys who robbed Martinezz found keys to his place, why did they hack holes in his palisade?

[KillerofLawyers]

That's easy. We bashed them down. With a pick. More accurately, my accomplice did. Actually, would you like the entire tale? I can give it's detailed account as sort of a prelude to all of this.

That begs the question, tho. If you had the keys, why bash the walls? I mean, i dont care if you had the keys or not, the crime was the same. I just cant figure out the key+wallbashing thing.

And by all means, tell your tale.

[Spazbomb]

I can clarify a little. The keys were to our bottleneck-allied village. The key robbery and the attack on Martinuzz were separate events.
