There's a lot of speculation and hypocrisy in this thread:
- The Randulf issue wasn't Mortis turning on him. Sometimes players aren't good fits for an alliance and this was one of those situations. It was unfortunate, but there is a lot more to the story than the one-sided leaked pm's that I assume made their way to everyone in the server.
- Saxons complaining about gold use, when almost all the gold I use is traded to me on Baris from a member of the Saxons. Thanks Jim!
- Saxons saying we've played the server by avoiding challenging wars when we are red to everyone and you guys sit there in the south and start a war with Phoenix and then back off when you decided to fight us after talking about a merge. C'mon now. I am all for playing the game the way you choose, but don't pretend that you guys are interested in going all attack when you're all turtled up down there.
- A member of Olympia complaining about Mortis being simmers (seriously?) That would be crazy coming from anyone in that alliance, but when it comes from someone with a whopping 43,000 bp, it's just laughable. At least you guys have Saxons helping you defend now, I guess.
- Lastly, we are still having fun in Mortis. I will say though, that I have spoken with several people from the other three major alliances and several prominent players in each of those alliances have told me they are frustrated with this server and are beginning to hate it. Players in Olympia and Saxons have been the most vocal about that.
At the end of the day, Mortis worries about Mortis and our allies...not our enemies. I think this angers our opponents, because we don't reciprocate the attention that they give to us. Either way, we'll continue to plod along and do our thing.
