[UPDATED] Bimoda Exits Stomps; Roster Down To 13

Yet another high-profile Stomps player has left the alliance roster. Following the departure of Josh on Wednesday and Agalloch yesterday, now Bimoda has joined the ranks of active Stomp warriors who are either moving on or going back to their permanent alliances.

Bimoda was arguably the most all-around effective player for Stomps in the war. In Elgea, she singlehandedly mounted two sieges against Phoenixfire, reducing the first city of Grayditch but failing at the last minute to storm the city, and prevailing on the second one, capturing PF’s city of Harrenhal.

Bimoda also played a key role behind the scenes in convincing Phoenixfire and House Stark to dissolve their land claim and exit the war. After downgrading the Stark claim to a simple claim-free zone that Stark calls a “Declaration of Homeland” or “DoH” for short, PF remarked, “We changed the policy after I was persuaded by bimoda on how the land claims are being abused.” Bimoda herself made an official post about the peace agreement between Stomp and Stark:

Stomp has accepted Stark’s request for peace.

Stark’s change in their stance to a Declaration of Homeland where they will not force other players from settling in their declared area, and their statement to us that they do not agree with the practice of land claim alliances forcibly removing cities from their claims, is evidence to us that there no longer a need for war between our two alliances.

Stomp supports their policy for a DoH and recognizes this as a preferable alternative to the closing off of large sections of the map to other players.

Bimoda’s exit from Stomps now leaves the alliance with 13 members and a dwindling footprint in the Broken Lands.

[UPDATED 17:05 ST — Bimoda indicated in a comment that she has not permanently left Stomps: “I have not left the war or the effort. Just a temporary leave to fulfill a promise.” Since then, she has joined House Stark, who is currently at war with Shu-Han.]
