TUF-RE in Full Mêlée as YARR Siege on Josh Broken

a portrait of Blaxx Stoneaxe

RE’s Blaxx Stoneaxe appears to be taking the brunt of a shotgun approach to sieges by TUF, playing host to a string of operations against her in Elgea that seeks to capitalize on her isolation from the rest of the RE homeland in Westmarch. The Herald’s siege section is reporting on no less than 7 independent sieges, most of which are taking place in Perrigor:

Blaxx Stoneaxe [RE]

Easy isolated target

[192|-264] in Perrigor

Spektor [TUF]

Sun 17 Jul 22:15

 

Blaxx Stoneaxe [RE]	Target of unbowed scrub	[190|-269] in Perrigor	Xander [TUF]	Mon 18 Jul 02:01
Blaxx Stoneaxe [RE]	Isolated easy target 2	[316|-241] in Perrigor	Spektor [TUF]	Mon 18 Jul 02:12

 

 

Blaxx Stoneaxe [RE]	Target of unbowed scrub	[189|-271] in Perrigor	Spektor [TUF]	Mon 18 Jul 03:33
Blaxx Stoneaxe [RE]	Just bored	[217|-267] in Perrigor	Spektor [TUF]	Mon 18 Jul 06:06

 

Blaxx Stoneaxe [RE]	Easy isolated target	[190|-265] in Perrigor	AianNick [TUF]	Mon 18 Jul 08:01
Blaxx Stoneaxe [RE]	Banished from bl moses?	[-46|341] in Norweld	moses [TUF]	Mon 18 Jul 08:54

The Roman Empire will be hard press to defend these cities and break so many concurrent sieges at once in Elgea.

Meanwhile, TUF has also appeared to have smashed yet another siege, this time breaking what looed like a robust attempt on Josh in Clarien. The siege break is yet another big defensive win for TUF, who is defying the odds against the triple-threat of YARR, RE and SIN by aggressively attacking what they perceive to be a weak RE, breaking sieges by YARR, and largely ignoring SIN. Even if SIN remains successful is sieges, TUF’s decisive wins against RE and YARR will allow them to outpace any losses and keep their momentum going.

Footnote: Persona Non Grata Razed Again

SIN officials shared a raze report from its recent siege against persona non grata:

Original Message:
beggars at my gates?, belonging to persona non grata which was located at 508|-2775 has been razed by OleBlacklord.

Because persona non grata left TUF prior to OleBlacklord’s sieges landing on the city, the raze will not count toward scoring on the TUF-SIN War Score Card, until or unless persona was to rejoin TUF. Because persona non grata formed the [way] alliance, declared war on SIN, and suffered a raze, the Times will publish a new way/SIN War Score Card to track sieges in this appendage of the TUF-SIN war.

Mjo Alt Persona Non Grata Leaves TUF, Declares War on SIN on Eve of Siege; Goldy1 Re-Defects Back To SIN; RE Loses Again

nCrow member .Mjölnir.’s alt account is persona non grata, which was dropped out of TUF and used to form a new alliance at war with SIN just ahead of a second siege, the Times has learned. SIN officials provided proof to the Times of persona non grata’s identity, as well as previous correspondence indicating that he might in fact be considering rage quitting after being targeted twice by SIN sieges.

However, it appears that the account instead has been used to set up a proxy war with SIN. persona non grata established the warrior’s way [way] on 14 Jul 2016 00:58, and declared war on The Hashashin on 15 Jul 2016 at 05:00. way currently has no diplomatic relations with TUF.

In a message to SIN that was provided to the Times, persona non grata explained (the following is a paraphrase by the Times) that he had joined TUF out of friendship with Agalloch and other players and suggested that he never had any intention to go to war with SIN, RE, or YARR. TUF declared war on SIN on 26 Jun 2016 03:47, while Mjo put his alt into TUF on 28 Jun 2016 20:34 two days after, calling into question the veracity of persona’s statement.
