SIN Razes VIC and SHARK Towns As Siege Count Climbs; SHARK and VIC Sieges Still Firing

SIN successfully completed both of their sieges yesterday, registering razes on enemy combatants SHARK and VIC in two very different siege operations. SIN officials provided IGMs of the siege conclusions to the Times:

Io, belonging to Woolfie which was located at 344|-1867 has been razed by Stukahh.

For SIN, these are the 7th and 8th successful siege operations against the SHARK-VIC confederacy, and GC thug Stukahh’s third raze. For Curmudgeon, it is his first time on the siege board.

The “cow girl go go go” raze, likely the result of trolling SIN with a snarky town name just on the edge of their land claim, was just a footnote to the war, as no heavy fighting was reported by any onlookers in the war. For the Io siege, however, VIC did offer up resistance, breaking an early blockade. A comment by SHARK’s Josh also suggests that SHARK assisted in the defense of the city, noting: “Also: ‘VIC destroyed a SIN blockade overnight, server time, using its own forces’….. with help from the pointy fins.”

A second blockade never appeared at the Io siege, but the two siege camps firing were obviously enough to bring the city down.

SHARK and VIC will look to answer these SIN razes with two of their own, as both alliance continue their extended campaigns against Sir Goldielocks and He-Man in Elgea. VIC has completely decimated  He-Man’s city of Lining up VICtims, however, the presence of a wall in a zero-population city suggests that the desert orc may once again be hiding a strong defensive force, keeping the siege force from storming the city and razing it.

Much like SIN’s siege on bertny3, SHARK’s siege on Sir Goldielocks should be a slam dunk for the top-ranked Illy alliance.

Meanwhile, the SIN-Venita drama continues to unfold, with SIN launching yet another coodinated siege on the Sinister Star account, purported to be Venita’s secret alt who joined SIN in September of 2014 and only recently transferred briefly to GATE before being kicked out ahead of these sieges:

Sinister Star	Divorced	[737|-2346] in Fellandire	Sir Goldielocks [SIN]	Wed 25 Nov 05:35
Sinister Star	Divorced	[736|-2346] in Fellandire	OleBlacklord [SIN]	Wed 25 Nov 07:02
Sinister Star	Divorced	[735|-2346] in Fellandire	OleBlacklord [SIN]	Wed 25 Nov 07:02

It also appears that the previous siege on the Sinister Star account has been completed, as the city “They took it all” is no longer on the map.

SIN Strikes Back With Sieges On SHARK, VIC

Just a day after top-ranked alliance SHARK began a campaign on a SIN city in Meilla, the Hashashin have set up two sieges against the SHARK-VIC confederacy. The Herald has posted details of both sieges:

bertny3 [SHARK]	cow girl go go go	[692|-2502] in Fellandire	Curmudgeon [SIN]	Tue 24 Nov 03:11
bertny3 [SHARK]	cow girl go go go	[692|-2503] in Fellandire	Curmudgeon [SIN]	Tue 24 Nov 03:11

bertny3 is a new name in the war, and is likely one of a series of terraforming accounts that SHARK has used in the past, as when “bertny” is searched, a series of old abandoned “bertny” accounts show up, such as bertny1 (abandoned), bertny2 (abandoned), bertny9 (abandoned), etc. The town of cow girl go go go appears to have set up in Fellandire yesterday, according to bertny3’s growth chart. Given that the current town under siege is exactly y= -2502, the southern line of the SIN land claim according to their profile page, the SHARK town is suspected to be less of a tactical city for the top-ranked alliance, and more of the trolling variety. As a result, it’s unlikely that SHARK will defend against the siege.

SIN’s siege against VIC once again features GC antagonizer Stukahh, who followed up his provocative prodding in global chat yesterday with a twin siege on Invictus’ Woolfie:

Woolfie [VIC]	Io	[343|-1867] in High Hills	Stukahh [SIN]	Tue 24 Nov 07:07
Woolfie [VIC]	Io	[343|-1866] in High Hills	Stukahh [SIN]	Tue 24 Nov 07:07

Stukahh has set up in two forests of the west of the city, and the Times has witnessed moderate fighting around these camps. According to a VIC tipster, who asked to remain anonymous given the active nature of the campaign, VIC destroyed a SIN blockade overnight, server time, using its own forces, and apparently racked up impressive ratios in the battle. Currently, there is no new blockade.

In the meantime, VIC’s siege against He-Man continues to drag on, with the siege now coming up on its fourth day:

He-Man [SIN]

. . . . while SHARK’s siege of Sir Goldilocks in Meilla assumably set to begin in earnest:

Sir Goldielocks [SIN]

SIN STAR IS VENITA

[-336|108] in Meilla

lsxrule [SHARK]

Mon 23 Nov 18:36

The changing of the town name to “SIN STAR IS VENITA” may be an answer to the question of whether Venita’s alt account indeed is Sinister Star, who as the Times reported yesterday, had been in SIN since September of 2014.
