ON THE RUN: TUF’s AianNick Double-Exoduses Away From Dual SIN Sieges

In the wake of settling peace with longtime combatant YARR, TUF has dodged two SIN siege operations, with boistrous GC antagonizer AianNick exodusing two cities — one from his main and another from his purported alt, ThorOdin.

SIN provided IGMs of both exoduses, the first coming midweek last week:

Your army named New Army 1 from 2. Far Far Away under orders to Siege target town Catch me if you can at location[208|-3129] in Shardlands has discovered that the target town is exodusing!

Your army will continue onto [208|-3129] in Shardlands where it’s orders to Siege are now to attack location [208|-3129] in Shardlands. Combat will resolve normally and your army will begin returning immediately after combat resolution.

Looking at the original placement of the city, it featured a building that likely would have made an optimal square for sieging the city.

Earlier this morning, SIN also provided evidence of a second exodus from one of its sieges, this time of AianNick’s main:

Looking at the terrain around Houston, the city was entirely surrounded by plains ecept for one small hill, making this exodus a bit more surprising.

This is now the third city that TUF has exodused away from SIN, with the first being Ken Rychard’s city of Segundun.

In earlier comments, TUF members mocked SIN for hitting what they perceived as soft targets in persona non grata and Dsasa, who they claim is a sat, semi-inactive account. “We can only congratulate Sin in their spectacular siege maneuver,” Nick said after the Dsasa siege. “Dsasa’s city was not protected by troups, we only concentrated to reduce some enemy troups. let s do the real deals and not kindergarten sieges on not relevant targets… but i understand Sin, they need any success now to keep up their reputation:)”

Agalloch himself made similar remarks during the Dsasa siege, quipping, “We hope SIN continues to waste troops on a sat account like dsasa, thanks for setting up on a forest guys!!! Keep up the good work!!!!

The fact that two active TUF accounts have double exodused away from SIN sieges after these comments may be evidence that the military alliance is looking to wind down its wars, after recently retiring its war with YARR after YARR leader Ranalos was reportedly banned for comments made in GC.
