Screen Shot 2015-07-20 at 10.05.35 AMSHARK has racked up its second siege with an impressively planned operation in Meilla against SIN’s Sir Goldielocks. In spite of the town likely being isolated from the reach of SIN siege breaking forces, SHARK pulled out all the stops, setting up five siege armies and two blockades on the highly favorable small hills, mountain, and building tiles around the city.

The following were the siege armies set up against the town:

Sir Goldielocks [SIN] spare me oh mighty SHARK! [-336|108] in Meilla lsxrule [SHARK] Mon 23 Nov 18:36
Sir Goldielocks [SIN] spare me oh mighty SHARK! [-338|107] in Meilla SRT8 [SHARK] Wed 25 Nov 21:33
Sir Goldielocks [SIN] spare me oh mighty SHARK! [-338|106] in Meilla lodi [SHARK] Thu 26 Nov 06:09
Sir Goldielocks [SIN] spare me oh mighty SHARK! [-338|108] in Meilla lodi [SHARK] Thu 26 Nov 06:12
Sir Goldielocks [SIN] spare me oh mighty SHARK! [-337|106] in Meilla SRT8 [SHARK] Thu 26 Nov 06:16

lsxrule picked up the capture, as he arrived on scene first. The city is now named, “We haven’t started yet.”

An anonymous tipster to the Times who claims to have had access to the general army counts of the forces noted that, ” . . . the siege is a host and the blockades are legions. Estimated that the siege engines reduced 200 pop in 1st bombardment.” It is unclear which siege the tipster was referring to, as this tip came into the Times almost a day ago.

Sir Goldielocks changed the town name to “Spare Me Oh Might SHARK!” around the time that the full contingent of siege pieces arrived on the scene. No resistance has been reported or observed.

The siege of Sir Goldielocks was similar to an earlier operation on SIN’s ChuckNorish and shows SHARK’s ability to mount multi-square sieges on targets. However, to this point, SHARK has seemingly held back on this level of planning for other operations in the Broken Lands, focusing instead on engaging He-Man’s desert cities in Kul-Tar.

SHARK-VIC operations continue in the desert against He-Man in the hopes of registering a defeat against the top-ranked defensive player in the game, buoying morale.

Screen Shot 2015-07-14 at 3.43.42 PMAfter a relatively long pause in battle updated since the recent posting of a new VIC siege on He-Man in Kul-Tar, SHARK is making headlines again by targeting an isolate SIN city in Elgea. News of the new siege flashed across GC earlier:

[18:36]<System> ** News Flash: Sir Goldielocks’ [SIN] small town of Im already capping Venita is now under siege by lsxrule’s [SHARK] legendary city of Giant Ones
SHARK is once again taking advantage of opportunistic siege targets, similar to their successful siege of ChuckNourish’s town in southern BL. SIN has virtually no chance at defending Sir Goldielocks, who is likely the alt of Goldy1.
Sir Goldielocks’ cryptic town name “Im already capping Venita” doesn’t track with current sieges in Illyriad, as the Herald’s siege page does not indicate that he or any other SIN members are currently sieging a Venita city, however, rumors swirl that the current ops being carries out on ex-SIN member Sinister Star are because that account was in fact Venita’s alt, which had according to that account’s profile page had been in SIN since September 27th, 2014. SIN has been sieging the Sinister star cities in Fellandire aggressively, and currently has two underway:
Sinister Star They took it all [687|-2360] in Fellandire OleBlacklord [SIN] Mon 23 Nov 16:42
Sinister Star They took it all [689|-2359] in Fellandire OleBlacklord [SIN] Mon 23 Nov 16:43
Sinister Star They took it all [688|-2361] in Fellandire OleBlacklord [SIN] Mon 23 Nov 16:50
Sinister Star They took it all [689|-2361] in Fellandire OleBlacklord [SIN] Mon 23 Nov 16:51
Sinister Star They took it all [687|-2361] in Fellandire OleBlacklord [SIN] Mon 23 Nov 12:48
It remains to be seen what the connection is exactly between these two sieges if any, but the drama underlying Venita, this Sinister Star account, and Sir Goldielocks appears to be progressing.
