Killed - For What???

[TreeHugger]

Hello all, i have been playing the game for awhile now, and since about a month ago started an alt to help with tasks while i played with my main. Dual screens = More work. A few days ago i came across a cave near my village and to my delight it had a mine inside, i decided to find the other exit and yet again to my delight i found an abandoned palisaded village, no calims. So i set up my mining and went on my merry way.

However, today i was building a village idol on the new area, and i see some stranger within the perimeter holding a shiny sword, and sporting a merchants robe, (Oh dear, i thought) i make small talk saying "hello", he says "hi" back. Next thing i know he runs towards me screaming ancient war chants (Dramatised Version) then begins to hack me to bits,

Dead!!!

I now fear for my other villagers on the other side of the cave, i have locked the entrance within a palisade so we should be ok, but if anyone wants to collect the scent i can trade for the mans head.

Thanks

Looks familiar?

This entrance belongs to us, along with the original idol. We've been building a line of banners down from the north to incorporate it as part of the "main" village. Last night I found a new unlit idol on the site and a lit hearthfire in the corner, so I destroyed the idol and went into our cave to see if the owner was still online (figuring he might be mining) but the server crashed before I could find him. It was pure luck that I caught you building a new idol today.

We've had problems with this site before and I couldn't be sure you wouldn't bolt on me and make it impossible to follow up, so I attacked. Hope it wasn't your main.

If you want to resolve this peacefully, we have a tin mine + XR we're happy to sell to you or your village. If you don't want to buy it, we're not going to vigorously defend the other three or more entrances to the copper mine's cave network. Just don't take this one.

Lol, ah the world is small, No this is not my main, just 1 of my Alts.

I am interested in buying the mine as the other option i had planned until i read your post would only result in more silly deaths.

I checked the whole place before i started building and i left it a few days too, it was dead as far as i was concerned.

What do u want for the tin mine???

The rest of my villagers dont know about my untimely demise and dont need to as they will only want some form of payback, If we get a mine out of my alts death then it was worth it, i guess, he was a miner at heart anyway.

Thanks

Silly mine thieves, you never learn... Ironically if you'd asked us first we probably would have loaned you an entrance (for a reasonable fee of course).
In future ask on the forums before taking a mine; it'll save you a lot of grief.

This is the second time we've had someone attempt to 'jack this copper mine. Frankly, we're willing to share it, but it gets mighty annoying having people attempt to steal it. Did you leave a single runestone? No. Did you follow the road leading there to see where it went? No. If you had, you would have found our village, and we would have happily allowed you access. Maybe in future be a bit more logical about this sort of thing, and you wont wind up getting shanked.

As this world has been going longer then i have been playing i frequently come across things that have been abandoned, a mine is just like anything else, i guess. I made an assumption that it was no longer in use. I wasnt trying to steal it.

I admit i didnt leave a rune stone, but as i said i assumed it was abandoned, and the only stone i could have left would have been on the inside, so it seemed pointless to leave a message to ppl i thought had quit.

I am happy to admit i made a mistake, and even more happy to admit i could have dealt with things differently, however its done now, and i dont intend to drag it back up again.

As mentioned in my second post, i'm interested in buying the tin mine off of you guys, just let me know what you want for it and we'll go from there.

Pm sent. It isn't payback or condolences, it's just business.

I can promise no one from Tiji will threaten you in the cave or in the mine(s) inside the cave, but please don't come through our entrance or try to claim/idol it again.

edit: and leave a boat on both sides of *that* river if you cross it. Walking for 10 minutes and then finding you'll need to go back for a boat sucks.

Well atleast the alt didnt die in vein, as it seems we have now 'met' some neighbors

Im sure we can all talk and get some agreement up and running, will be good to have some trade partners close by too.

Anyway, back to work, im sure tree hugger will be able to handle the deal himself.

If you guys have the time feel free to PM us any shopping/trade lists you may have.

so this mine is yours.... but it is not claimed, doesn't have a village over it, doesn't have a solid wall and your complaining that people try to steal it? sounds very weird....

[DatOneGuy]

If it's not claimed, it's not theft.
