EXCLUSIVE: Leaked Communications Reveal How Lorcan/Odo PvP Led to SHARK/TVM Escalation

IGMs, PCs and in-game private conversations leaked by TVM and SHARK between key players involved in the current standoff indicate that a Lorcan siege on Odoacer in their proposed pvp matchup was the touchstone for what could lead to full-scale war in the Newlands peninsula.

In a forum thread started by Halcyon on September 14th, the SHARK leader indicated that the current conflict between his alliance and TVM was the result of TVM aggression against Odoacer — a claim that TVM leadership has contested. “I would like to make it clear that the only reason for the current conflict in NewLands is that TVM has attacked SHRKr,” stated Halcyon in his first post. He went on to note that Lorcan’s motivation for engaging in a pvp duel with Odoacer was the result of Odo’s town placement within TVM’s land claim: “Their pretext is that SHRKr towns have been placed inside their land claim.”

In a later post, Halcyon expanded on the situation between Lorcan and Odoacer, stating: “The PVP agreement between Lorcan and Odoacer did not include relocation of towns and I have proof of THAT.”

To add context and evidence to this situation, both TVM and SHARK submitted to the Times the communications that took place prior to the pvp that reference the claims made in the forums.
