YARR’s Curmudgeon Expresses Regret in New Siege on ‘Popular’ Player Gwendalynn

A leading YARR warrior has apologized ahead of time TUF’s Gwendalynn for attempting to raze her city of Cow Palace. Earlier, YARR officials noted the landing of Curmudgeon’s siege forces in Pawanallpa:

[00:00]<System> ** News Flash: Gwendalynn’s [TUF] large city of Cow Palace – SF is now under siege by Curmudgeon’s [YARR!] large city of Landsmeet

Later on, the Herald’s siege section noted Gwen’s name change for the city:

Gwendalynn [TUF]

Yarr is afraid of 1 woman

[871|-1800] in Pawanallpa

Curmudgeon [YARR!]

Fri 27 May 00:00

YARR officials explained to the Times that the operation against Gwen is designed to further challenge TUF’s ability to defend its position in Pawanallpa, stating that YARR ” . . . will take opportunities where we can, TUF up to now has only had to defend against 1 siege at a time, this will be the time where we get to see how they handle 2 sieges at once.”

Lead sieger Curmudgeon, however, struck a more mollifying note in separate comments to the Times for attacking what they perceive to be a “popular” player:

Prior to Yarr! sieging Gwendalynn we openly apologised for attacking a popular Illy player, but explained that her ongoing attacks, diplomatic actions and thieving against Yarr’s smaller and less active members in particular could no longer be ignored.

We stated that we enjoy a friendly game but that friendly requires both give and take.

We would hope, but not necessarily expect that Gwen will acknowledge that Curmudgeon in particular asked her repeatedly to stand aside from the war if she did not wish to be involved.

TUF leader Agalloch has not immediately responded to Gwendalynn being sieged, but stated in earlier remarks in comments on the Times: “lmfao . . . for those of you that cant read between the lines what the above means is that they have failed to even clear our exoed towns in pawan from troops and we cant even dodge and so they … they what? ….. ask them :)”

  1. what is illytimes smoking?
    we are at a war why should I make a statement on every siege that lands?

  2. Respect for a previously peaceful player who got conned into war by Agalloch is not fear or whatever spin Aga wants to pitch it as. We have only attacked TUF leaders until now while they have hit our smaller members and those who asked to be non-combatants. Anyone who has not caught on to Aga’s BS by now and is still in whatever TUF is called today can expect to be targetted if Aga declines to label them as non-combatants.Of other interest is how many troops Gwen held back for her own defense and never helped her alliance with.

  3. How can an alliance member be “conned” into participating in a war when that alliance was ATTACKED? There would BE no war except for YARR’s opportunistic attack on an aliiance already depleted by our conflict with Dlords.

    No one in TUF was “conned” into anything. We play together because we like each other. Period. You don’t like Agalloch, fine. We do, so we fight with him.

    And the whole “non combatant” controversy. Our non combatants dropped out of the alliance at the start of the Dlords war. If YARR wanted non combatant status they had EVERY opportunity to have their non combatants do the same.

    “We have only attacked TUF leaders until now” Well DUH Your whole war is a personality conflict. Like I said, you don’t like Agalloch, so you’d be perfectly happy to talk ALL his alliance friends into abandoning him so you can team up on. Why? Because he is a better player than any three of you combined?

    The Curm spin on this smells worse than the 250,000 head of cattle just north of my home.

    Its this in a nutshell… we kicked Deaths butt after all their big talk in GC. So they they merge into a much larger alliance, wait until we are damaged by a conflict with another alliance, and then jump in.

    Sound stategy!… I’m not faulting that at all! There is NO honor in war except victory. But why all the BS spin? Why are you just too chickenshit to say you took advantage of a situation to jump a player you don’t like? Why not stop all this freakin double talk and just own up to the truth? Its just a game, and all the verbal twisting and weaseling and lies really make it annoying. And worse than annoying when you harass and bully others:

    By the way, bullying a lovely and facistating 60 year old woman; and all your mails were threats and bullying, no matter how nicely phrased they were( yes, I read them, we are friends, even know each other in the real world); what a freakin pussy Curm…

  4. Love the spin Yarr tries to put on things but smart players will always know the truth.. Respect for a peaceful player includes razing her towns (plural) out of Pawa? This was a Deathmonger’s issue with Gwen that predates Curm. Gwen is a cool player who helps newbies and others before herself. Being told to move out of your alliance ‘or else” is actually bullying by definition: and remember bullying is a perception hence what one person sees may be different than another. It is what it is, purely revenge on a nice person. Seems the trend these days Illy becoming Evony.

  5. Ken’s angle has some validity as he doesn’t know the whole story and is a sucker for the party line. Viper’s is a little more upsetting since we spent the previous hours in PC and i was mug enough to think it was genuine. You can’t have it as Gwen is a cool newbie helper AND give us grief for hitting back when she or her sitter uses the account to use magic, thieves troops against 3 city players etc for many weeks without us hitting back. The Gwen account has cast spells on 20+ Yarr! cities, thieved at least ten and killed in excess of 10K troops while being asked repeatedly to desist. Diplomacy is done. Her city fell in 14 hours despite holding back troops for her own use that would have helped Agalloch and others defend.

  7. If you thieve and blight, you get burned. I agree with what Curm says that you can’t have it both ways.

    There have been plenty of wars, and in most of them non-combatants got time to move out of the alliance before things get rough. In other cases it was allowed to use certain ranks for non-coms, and those were respected, as long as no action of any kind was taken against the other side.

    I’m not talking about sending resources, that’s always allowed in my book.

Please note that I consider the 5 squares around my cities to be my space and it wil be treated as if sovereignty were claimed on it.

    Also note 10 squares is to close for harvesting. Please ask for permission. Especially when its my kills

    There’s no reason to be nasty. My understanding is that we were giving a 5 square allowance, on each side, and my harvester was outside of that distance. However, as I see he has been bumped, no harm, no foul. A number of my towns are settled near a number of yours, so, moving forward, it would probably be better for both of us if we opened up some sort of productive dialogue. I’m not sure what I’ve ever done to you to warrant negativity, but I enjoy being a pleasant individual and hopefully in the future we can develop a more cordial relationship. In the meantime, I will begin calculating the value of pi, by hand, to the 30th digit, to prove to all of Illy that I do indeed know how to count.

    Two opposing forces clash against each other.

    Cavalry comes into its own when able to strike hostile forces at will, and from unexpected directions – and nowhere is this more feasible than on open plains. Lightly armoured spear units, however, prefer terrain where there’s some cover available.

    Fighting defensively on open plains, cavalry draws strength from the ability to form and reform their lines of engagement depending on the direction of battle, and it is here where cavalry excels.

    3:20] yes

    [03:21] Hye hun, I’m really sorry but this is gettinng heated. Did you see my igm where I talked with viper?

    [03:22] right now I am trying to put out fires

    [03:22] and you’re right in the middle. I’m sorry

    [03:23] It’s same over here

    03:24] This war will continue. Some will be friendly and some not so much.

    [03:24] and about Urlond I did scout an spy him and looked at his growth chart and I didn’t see anything

    [03:25] Gwen I have multiple reports from your account that are attacks. I’m telling him it was a sitter but it’s not going to last

    [03:25] so I thought he was fair game, also looked at players around me, I would go after Kili, to small for me, unless like in death small players come after me

    [03:26] those attacks were when I still thought he was inactive,

    [03:26] what time did he get back

    [03:27] I understand. Unfortunately first attack of war was Karl against a 3 town player that I’m not allowed to say who it is

    [03:27] but Curm you guys declared on us first. so we did what we thought was pre-emptive

    [03:28] But if you attacked your own leaders son who was in our alliance, you can see how that would get wierd

    [03:29] just hypothetically

    [03:29] I didd not say that

    [03:30] Urlond Bloodaxe, I put spells on, and viper asked me to put a spell on I think vlad, can’t reember his former name

    [03:31] so I did, those are the only ones I spell, and Urlond is the only one I scouted, spied onand looted

    [03:32] and only 2 towns. and a third distroyed his army.

    [03:32] Where we are is that there’s going to be a more nasty war than you have previously been involved in. I told Viper that I’d ask you (not trying to bully you) to do a tour of other alliances for a couple of weeks, just like lots of other established, respected players have done and a re doing.

    [03:33] and only looted Khedesh

    [03:34] but isn’t YARR trying to Land Claim ALL of Pawanallpa?–never an answer of this one, but Yarr has moved over 50+ towns into Pawanallpa.– still won’t answer that one

    [[03:35] We’re not trying to do anything. Some are mean and others are having fun in a game

    [03:36] please answer my question about Yarr trying to Land Claim all of Pawanallpa, because as I read Ranalos post it seemd like it

    [03:36] I’m trying to say that nice people like you get run over in real wars and in games and I’m running out of time to protect/help–ok leadership of other alliance do you really try and protect people in other alliance or is this a nice form of bullyng, and this “HUN” stuff is BS

    [03:38] Ranalos made a shocking job of the war declaration. It is a reaction to a lot of stuff Aga wrote in anger including that all Yarr would get put out of pawa and I would get newb ringed etc

    [03:39] I know aga doesn’t mean it all, but he did say he doesn’t give a damn about any of you as long as Death burns too.

    [03:39] so just Ranalos and no one else had input

    [03:39] It’s only a game and you’ve putt too much into it for this

    [03:41] No, Ranalos, Josh and Drax/Duran decided, but a lot was based on the igm’s passed up from me and others

    [03:41] it is a game, and I am getting tired of it

    [03:41] Aga trash talked a lot

    [03:42] no one will miss me if I leave

    [03:42] Yeah, and I know you enjoyed the game before and can again, so I propose you be in another alliance. (to me it reminded me of my brothers do this or else) bullying

    [03:44] If I wouldn’t miss you, Yarr’s war score would be better cause I’d have spanked your ass already:p

    [03:44] no, I am getting tired, and I don’t care if B/B sieges Pagan out of the game or Gwen for that matter, my health is more important then this game

    [03:46] then bring it on Curm, spank my ass so I can get out of the game

    3:47] It is indeed. My advice for what it’s worth is put your accounts into training alliances and help new players. B!B is easily sorted, once you’re not at war. You annoyed me no end early on but I’m happy to fight for you now if you’re not fughting me

    [03:48] sorry, bad typing, still not totaly over stroke

    [03:49] I am not fighting you Curm

    [03:49] yarr are fighting tuf

    [03:50] find a way to go visit and come back to tuf later

    [03:50] which again not my fault, just like it isn’t 1/2 of YARR’s fault

    50] find a way to go visit and come back to tuf later–again doesn’t have this right because he is in an alliance that is at war with me

    [03:50] which again not my fault, just like it isn’t 1/2 of YARR’s fault

    [03:52] some people are just shit disturber in RL and in game, bullies in game and out of the game03:34] Gwen I’m not trying to say right or wrong. I welcome you asking Viper for addvice
    03:52] some people are just shit disturber in RL and in game, bullies in game and out of the game

    03:53] it is what it is, we have people very sad at not being in yarr, but only alternative is to get Aga to respect non combatants, which currently he wont. I asked you to be effectively non combatant and you attacked one of our players. I’m asking you again to not do war as you are right beside me

    [03:54] well I could just quit tonight

    [03:54] I have had a rough year

    [03:54] I don’t want that any more than you do.

    [03:55] maybe I do

    [03:55] You found yourself in a military alliance because the game has changes

    [03:55] this is what I will talk to viper about quitting the game altogether

    [03:56] it doesn’t mean theres no fun in the game

    [03:57] Remember when Mac was next door and that was annoying

    [03:59] it ceased to be fun for me when death did that land claim, and I have been upset about that claim for almost a year, and TUF was the one in the neighbor. I like viperone and Agalloch, even tho he can be hot tempered

    [03:59] I choice TUF

    [03:59] Not everyone knows this, but my wife has MS and could die omorrow or last 40 years.

    [03:59] Ranalos wife has bad health and will probably not last a year

    [04:00] remember you have told me that with Mac when we first started this “friendship”

    [04:00] We choose our friends in this wierd online place and itt’s also a release from real life

    [04:01] So we can fight in the game but we don’t share that with everyone

    [04:02] It is your choice to quit game, but don’t do it because of aggro in game Please

    [04:03] 9:00 at night here and had physical therapy today, can we talk maybe tomorrow, if I am still here?

    [04:03] If life is too busy or whatever then fine

    [04:05] won’t quit till I talk with viperone

    [04:06] Never quit, just walk away with option to return

    [04:06] take time out
    04:06] ok

I complained that Curm is a lying piece of crap who for some reason has to try to look like the good guy when in fact he and YARR are the agressors. If your going to be the aggressor, be the aggressor and don’t go cry babying about how we attack small players, or cast spells, or wont respect non combabtants. If you don’t like the way we defend ourselves you chat pussies, then don’t attack us.

    What I really don’t get is why, when we are playing a war game, and you are doing a GOOD job of warring, you don’t just admit who and what you really are. Id rather be listening to a winner boasting of their skill, then hear this incessant whining from you and your feeble attempts to look like your the “good guys”. I don’t see ANY good guys here, its a freaking wargame.

    You think Ive fallen for the party line? are you kidding? I saw the emails that went back and forth and I understand why you might be a little miffed. There is NO PARTY LINE, dummass. I stick with Aga until we all burn because he is my friend, whether hes right or wrong, and that’s the only line…. friendship, loyalty, and honesty, unlike you lame ass chat spin jackasses who cant just fight a straight up fight without lying and bellyaching in GC and in the Times
