@ JohnSmith: I direct this at you specifically beacuse of the fuss you kicked up about our attempt at diplomatic relations with Russian speaking hearthlings and hope that this may somewhat sway your negative perception about our intent.
My earlier post promising to exact revenge on the balance of the members of "The Ranger Squad" is on behalf of new Russian trade partners that were established as a direct result of our call to diplomacy thread. They were robbed by The Ranger Squad of the cast iron that they traded from us for a heap of bricks they worked very hard at making, so that they may obtain metal.
Fyi, we don't really need bricks, but trade metal for it so that all noobs have a chance at getting their hands on metal. Furthermore, we did not charge a fee of any sort to travel, gather scents, track, kill and destroy the filth that raided them, we merely followed through on our promise that we will endeavour to protect those who wish to make a peaceful living in the central super grid.
I have personally traded bricks for cast iron with 2 other small Russian settlements in the central grid, who's existance we were not even aware of before the diplomacy thread.
I am merely one member of Sodom and not at the helm of managing diplomatic relations and was able to befriend and trade with 3 different Russian settlements within days after we agreed that we can do more, as Sodom, to bridge the language barrier. I do not know exactly how many PM's were received by Chakravanti & Burgingham, who are actually officially in charge of diplomatic relations, under the leadership of Juhubert, but understand it to be many.
Please do take note that this is a statement and not an invitation to troll this thread.
