Well-known Illyriad personality Titanic informed the Times that he has left NSE for TUF, and provided insights into the current progression of the Death/NSE war.
In a note to our editoral staff this morning, Server Time, Titanic indicated that he was leaving the embattled alliance. “I am now former NSE member,” explained Tinantic in his private message. He went on to claim that Death attacks were en route to at least one of his cities: “[I] can confirm on my end to the attacks — Death enroute to Titanicvilla — my capital. Not sure how many in NSE are under attack, but I am for sure, was almost instantanious. Death began threats months back, dispite the fact that we are not a BL alliance.”
At the time that Titanic sent his private message this morning, he had already left NSE and joined The Unfettered [TUF], a militaristic alliance with a growing footprint in the Broken Lands and founded by Elfs Bane, an ex-Stomp veteran. The Times followed up by asking if Titanic’s move to TUF was indicative of their willingness to back NSE in the war. “TUF will only get involved if things get worse,” Titanic replied, but added that “as they stand now, however, they have not progressed to be worse.”
Titanic also explained that his departure from NSE was directly tied to pressure from Death and the ensuring war declaration:
I left NSE over the constant threats from the Deathmongers that kept continuing. In a recent situation a player that was unaffiliated with an allinace desided to thieve a NSE player. After asking him to stop we caught him by tracing him still doing it- so the action we took was to launch an attack. He immediatly cried fowl in GC in which Deathmongers sent him an invite. Death then sent us a warning to stop attacking him or they would seige us, all this for defending our guy. We made a deal in which we could complete the first assult, however they went back on that and rather then stick to the deal desided to take out Sithlordcharlies men, despite the deal saying they wouldn’t. This in turn lead to things happening. In GC it was pointed out that NSE was attacking an unarmed player, to which it was mentioned that the unarmed player had been thieving the NSE player and thus the attacks stemmed from that. I further pointed out that we had been threatened for defending out guy in this way by Death. The Honey Badger saw this and right away cried fowl and declared war on NSE over that statement that was a true statement as seen in the past by others.
The Times is unable to confirm any of Titanic’s claim at the present time.
Death leader Honey Badger, however, has rebuffed claims that his alliance has specifically targeted NSE prior to Death finally issuing a war declaration, which appears to be in response to these accusations. Later today, the Times was sent a tense IGM communication between The Honey Badger and Sithlordcharlie that has been purportedly circulated to several people in the game. (WARNING: profane language!)

Original Message:Sounds like you can’t taste your own medicine. You sent attacks at a player with only 2 cities.
Welcome to karma if you are quitting, allow me to show you the way out. There’s the button for you to go press, if you don’t plan on fighting back.
Cheers.

Original Message:Well, I don’t like you. I think you have a bunch of conspiracy theories. That are false. Your alliance claiming we did everything. Absolutely wrong. Your alliance crumbled because you allowed it to. You can only cry lies so often, until someone gives you a reason to cry wolf. Congratulations. We gave you a reason.
