What is likely the final claimers siege against ex-Stomper Josh has led to their ninth successful siege and first city capture — only the second capture of the ongoing war over land claims. Early this morning, server time, the Times received a report confirming the successful capture of the PublicRelations’ city of Untamed Generousity in the High Hills:
From: System Subject: FW: Untamed Generousity captured! Received: 23 Jul 2015 08:05 Original Message:
Untamed Generousity, belonging to PublicRelations which was located at 635|-1824 has been captured by Thorgrim.
For Thorgrim, it is his first siege of the war. The city retains about 2,500 population.
Consulting the Herald‘s siege section this week, a number of sieges have been broken or aborted. Perhaps the clear winner in the war thus far for this week is CleopatraMurk, who abruptly left Stomps after Death laid siege to one of her cities in Pawanallpa, while SIN rolled two more sieges on her in the south. After leaving Stomps, Cleo managed to break the Death siege, and somehow or another break or avoid sieges on her cities in Jurgor. As of last night, these two sieges by SIN’s OleBlacklord were still listed in the Herald:
CleopatraMurk Sauna [859|-3140] in Jurgor OleBlacklord [SIN] Tue 30 Jun 03:05
CleopatraMurk Tanning Salon [886|-3109] in Jurgor OleBlacklord [SIN] Mon 29 Jun 22:00
This morning, server time, neither siege is still active, though the Times notes that a blockade is still in place on Tanning Salon, and Sauna appeared to have been reduced by some margin from its original population, though this cannot be confirmed. All in all, Cleo has exited the war without losing a single city in the Broken Lands — a boon for her, considering the resolute statement on her profile that reads: “I am out of the war and will not join STOMPS again until the war is over.”
[UPDATED, 10:32 pm ST: an anonymous Times reader posted data from an xml file for a siege report indicating that the two SIN sieges did in fact substantially reduce Cleo’s citites, and were reportedly recalled voluntarily: “As you can see, population [of Sauna] was 1795 on June 29 (considering that the file updates at 00am of each day). Now it is 1128. Per the same xml file, on June 29, population of Tanning Salon was 2095. Now it is 698.”]
