Sheeps and the Wolf

[Bearcub]

The story starts from the world8 where me and Lachlaan decided to unite and build our place together, tho it took too long to flatten 100*100 area so we'd finished by the world wipe only. Since the world9 we started to play with the formed group of 5 people to don't spend too much time on cooking, hunting,mining etc... The group seemed very polite, friendly to anyone who might have passed it. The leader of the group even let the random newbie to settle nearby us. All seemed good as the farm was rising wider and wider, bread was on the table, smelters were always lit and cupboards overfilled with all kinds of meats. Everyone seemed satisfied as we were getting higher and higher qualitative resources like water, clay, ore but the only person did never care about it.


The leader of these 5 named Cyd who was always focused on the order on his claim (once our base didn't have the village claim). The most he was ever interested it was the outlook of buildings/piles/whatnot placed on our small area.

Bearcub never minded about the order on the claim but the most he was interested was the rising of the quality of the stuff we use: smelters/ovens/meatgrinders/whatnot and that was the reason of the first conflict. Yeah, I do understand how childish it sounds to seed the hostility by the oven values but it was never meant to seed any. The leader just declined to use good mats we had for it no idea why. I tried to get the answer but he was just too stubborn to try to explain. I guess he was just careless same as about letting the random newbie settle in a range of ~40-50 tiles from us.

There've been other stuff we'd argue about whether other 4 members stood aside ready to agree with any final solution. There were never big conflicts so none from them could lead to the break between 5 and 2 of us but I was already bearing a thought of leaving them (the other reason was having a Hirosima very close to the base but no one cared that much). I thought to leave for a better place with more hard working people as ore/water/clay was actually discovered by me and Lachlaan but my plans were violated by the pile of cat gold.

I don't think any of you could imagine any serious conflict about the use of cat gold, such a shitty curio and controversialy attractive paving material. But there was one that led to the murder. The argue was actually about the use, where I find x2 cat gold is not too bad curio if you can't play for 24h for a reason. Cyd thought opposite and wasted all good cat gold for ugly paving. Being a miner I was offended by a such egoistic behavior as the best part of that shitty stone material could be stored but it wasn't. "That is the best we could get on the 1st cave lvl" - I said. And that is necessary because in the pace we developed I'd only dream about 2nd or deeper cave lvl. For now it'd take at least a month to get some wax. "That's nice paving" - he answered. At time I argued and further called by Cyd :"Trouble maker" I got him standing close to aggro me and put "the miner" down with the bronze sword I smithed for him once.



I'm not sure how often such stories happen in the average groups of players but above had the place to be. Afterwards my corpse was stolen by my alt and buried without any problems for the new newbie story to begin. I don't know if that group is going to move but for anyone interested to try new siege mechanics and use summon kill (as scents are on the claim) you're welcome. It's on the s-e from the Hirosima.

I don't have that much to say about other 4 members of that group as most of them were thinking more thoughtful or just more latent without any desire to argue. You and them would decide themselves but as the kill didn't make any conflict among them I can only think that it's not the first time that the major solution was made by the Wolf and never meant to be discussed with Sheeps.

You got killed over cat gold. I feel like something is missing from your story. I hope your killer comes and tells his side.

[Bearcub]

Well, seems like I was bothering the leader too much to care more about stuff. But everything he'd say was like "We just want to get a fun from the game. We don't want to make the work out of the game"

[Glorthan]

Curio aren't for studying they're for decoration. I would have killed you too.

[azrid]

I see his point. Game can quickly become a quality grind and then it becomes boring for that type of players. Death is an easier fate for you than playing with people you dont mesh with.

What's wrong with peaceful expulsion from the village? If they try to be annoying after that perhaps, but killing a villager over a difference of opinion is pretty low imo, unless they request a 1v1.

[Thedrah]

you should come join me in my hermit village, i got 30q tin/coal and started a growing trees a few days ago. chalcopyrite and iron ochre nearby too

[azrid]

I agree with you I practice peaceful expulsion myself. But there are problems with that too. Perhaps the one being peacefully thrown out doesnt want to leave empty handed. Maybe he feels like he is owed for the work he did for the group.
In this case the people involved probably know better. From the information the OP gave I would say the leader was very unfair to him.
So again the attack from the leader could have been a preventative measure so OP cant fuck shit up at the base after being asked to leave.

I do understand his point, I do care about raising quality but I'm never in a rush, I like to concentrate first on making the base and planning both design and defence and once I'm happy with that, then I begin the grind, though still always making time for other things such as exploring and socializing otherwise where is the fun ...

However, killing you over it does seem terribly unfair and you should have been given the option to just leave.
I'm glad you were able to recover your body at least and good luck moving on.

I think cat gold is ugly but of course it's personal preference, I wouldn't use it as a curio either way but if you have nothing better or space to fill I don't see why not. Hiroshima is a raiding village so living nearby them will end poorly at some point, maybe they didn't know this place existed until now. Fair trade I'd say, they take your life you take their safety.
