SIN Siege on BayNights Broken By Unaffiliated Venita in High Hills, Newlands Siege Takes Hold

In spite of Unbow’s recent spate of exoduses, SIN has managed to land two new sieges on Unbow co-leader BayNights, one of which was already broken by ex-SHARK member Venita. The first siege came later yesterday server time on a city that had exodused out of Newlands into an unsiegeable spot:

BayNights [Unbow]

SINcerely Concerned

[618|-1900] in High Hills

DillyTools’ Historical Data Viewer confirms that SINcerely Concerned is ID# 411893, which was previously called Lacedaemon. The city was previously located in a different location in the High Hills.

However, by 11:26 am server time, the siege had already been finished off by ex-SHARK leadership member Venita. SIN officials provided a combat report of the break to the Times:

SHARK Players Mark Sinister Star Wipe-out in GC; Pico “Targeting All Sin’s Alts;” Ron Fay Departs

Key metagame activity took place in the contentious war between SIN and SHARK-VIC yesterday, with tempers flaring in GC over the Sinister Star/Venita controversy. SIN has completed its operation against the Sinister Star account — the account’s cities have all been razed and the player relocated to the so-called “newbie ring,” according to the now-abandoned account’s profile. An anonymous tipster who caught some of the action in GC as SHARK went public in acknowledging the loss of fellow member Venita’s once-secret alt, and implicating SIN in what the top-ranked alliance claims was an injustice in decimating her account. It didn’t take long for SIN members to challenge that claim in GC, sparking a confrontation:

[21:25]<Pico> Sinister Star will be missed
[21:25]<Pico> great job razing all her towns
[21:25]<PublicRelations> R.I.P star
[21:26]<PublicRelations> may your light still shine bright in the nightsky
[21:26]<Sir Goldielocks> Thanks Pico
[21:26]<Silent Sword> Great job not razing any of ours.
[21:26]<Sir Goldielocks> I did a great job
[21:26]<heårtless> lmao SS.2
[21:26]<PublicRelations> you should be proud of yourselves… or something
[21:26]<Sir Goldielocks> she is still alive

SHARK Lights Up SIN City in Elgea

After 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

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.
