What The . . ? SIN Mystery Alt Gets Raze But No Duece on Dual TUF Sieges

SIN went 1 and 1 in its recent siege operations against TUF in the south of the Broken Lands, razing kaven’s city of just stolen while losing their siege on AinNick’s city of Freiburg. SIN officials provided the raze report for just stolen, which according to Dilly Tools was a city of 18,000+ population prior to the start of the battle:

just stolen, belonging to kaven which was located at 439|-3071 has been razed by What The DEUCE?.

SIN reported heavy fighting on both sieges, stating that “millions” of troops were involved in the operation. “The siege on Nick was much, much smaller than a normal SIN op,” explained SIN leader Jejune in comments to the Times. “For us, our main objective was kaven and we were successful in that endeavor.”

Rumors abound of who What the DEUCE? — the mysterious account that sieged the city — might be. while SIN themselves had no comment, sources for the Times who have insights into SIN suggest that the account is the alt of a prominent player, with rumors ranging from Pellinell to Kodabear. None of the rumors can be confirmed to any degree.

In GC after the raze, TUF leader Agalloch looked to downplay the raze, and vowed to find out who What the DEUCE? belongs to and take revenge on their main account:

[09:02]<Agalloch> wait till i find who is their main
[09:02]<Duran> Now, now, you leave DUECE alone.
[09:02]<Agalloch> i ll take a large deuce on his main

[10:05]<What The DEUCE?> DEUCE DEUCE DEUCE
[10:05]<What The DEUCE?> https://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/#/World/Map/43910:05%5D<Agalloch&gt; big deal
[10:05]<Agalloch> come back soon
[10:05]<Agalloch> the days of SIN are a thing of the past
[10:05]<Agalloch> I am going to own all your asses

The Times will update this story as we gather more information.

For the Freiburg siege break, SIN shared that the final break came from ThorOdin, known to AinNick’s alt, revealing a combat report showing 60,000 of ThorOdin’s stalwarts finishing off the second siege. The Times is unaware of who broke the first siege camp.

SIN Opens Up New Sieges in South on TUF

After a long hiatus from siege operations, SIN has launched two new sieges on TUF in the south. The Herald’s siege section is currently reporting two different locales:

AianNick [TUF]	Freiburg	[207|-3143] in Shardlands	OleBlacklord [SIN]	Sat 27 Aug 04:00
kaven [TUF]	just stolen	[438|-3071] in Jurgor	What The DEUCE? [SIN]	Sat 27 Aug 04:00

The city of Freiburg sits in the middle of forests — a seemingly good location for SIN’s operation. However, TUF appears to be faring well on that operation, as the Times observed two sieges earlier, one of which is now gone. It is possible that tUF is using its vast reserves of infantry to gain superior kill ratios around Freiburg. At present, there are no blockades on the city, but armies appear to be coming in from the north.

Over at just stolen, SIN has set up on the only small hill around the city, which is two the west. Reports into the Times indicate heavy fighting here, but actual numbers are not currently known.
