About a week and a half ago, I decided to start playing again. I joined a few of my old friends who had a tiny base somewhere in this world. I found out they didn't really have alot of natural resources so I decised to go out and search for some "good" nodes to settle next to and so I did.
I found a spot I really liked and we all went there. It's located in the very North-west corner supergrid of this world. On our way there a few guys spotted us.
When we arrived at the spot (containing a cave), we started settling inside that cave and building a base right next to the entrance.
After a while, when I (Belgian) was sleeping, my friends (americans) bumped into two dhelmers in our cave. They were here not to make any trouble, just to make sure we were of no harm to "their" supergrid.
This village invited us all to join them, what everyone but me did. I don't really like living in villages, I prefer things on my own or with a few friends. So I decided to stay at the cave.
All went fine and I got back into contact with Anoel and Genocide, my two best friends in hnh. They wanted to join my little cave and so they did. Meanwhile I kept having contact with this village, especially Nomad (or Gary). Nomad became a good buddy to chit-chat with.
Three days ago, my rl friend and my brother started a camp right next to us (total newbies). They were
getting the hang of this game quiet fast.
Then. Today. A dhelmer walked by my rl friend. I immediately messaged Nomad to ask if it was any of them, but it wasn't. The dhelmer killed my newbie friend. I told Nomad.
Nomad told me to add a HS which I did. I let him oath over to help us out and what happens next was just disgusting. The guy that came to help aggro'd me. He didn't get through my defence at once so I took a run for it and was ae to escape using my squirrelskills.
After this happened Nomad told me this guy is allied to them and he was going to track him down to take revenge.
While Nomad was tracking the perp, Bryce (LS) came over to get some scents from the perp. Then the immaginable happened. Bryce attacked me. The village I thought I was allied to had betrayed me. A friend just attacked me.
But I managed to survive again.
I contacted Nomad once again to calm Bryce's tits. Nomad told me Bryce attacked me due to me bringing trouble to their grid. I never did.
Never did I even accept a trade through my idol.
Never did I ever even leave one scent in their grid.
Never did I ever forage near their village.
Never did I ever do something wrong.
Then it happened. Nomad kills Anoel. Nomad, a friend who I thought was a good man, I thought he was my friend. Never have I ever felt this betrayed in my whole hnh life. This is not only bad for me having to evacuate this place, but I also felt hurt. trust just blown into dust. A friendship shatters into a million bits.
Now they claim one of my old friends (who joined them) ha ben porting items from their village into mine. Is this a reason to kill me (who had no access to their village at all)? why not just talk first before ruining a great friendship?
What did my newbie friend do wrong? what did anoel do? why is it always the innocents who have to pay for it? why.

Why did I write this thread? For you to know the truth. To know if you ever come across a Bryce (or Anton, alt) or Nomad in NW grid. Don't assume they're friendly. Know they're total dicks.
