Armegeddon 1,206 Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) We invited you... because despite what Balance... or specifically Winterblades members do with Jah and his alt toon "SockPuppet" using it as a spy, we realized it didn't really matter. Wegave you the benefit of the doubt. BTW, your name is similar to "Malefric" which is Angelmar, who is another Winterblades IC... who we just assumed was troll spying like Jah does. That being said. I would look at the Recruitment forums and try to find a community that fits what you are looking for. This is not a solo friendly game, and you will do much better in coms. What won't get you points though, is coming to the forums and making a salty post like this one... it's bad form. Best regards.. V/r uXa TLDR.. Join Balance or get in coms.. Because most people will just think you are a spy otherwise.... Thank Sockpuppet. Edited March 14, 2019 by Armegeddon 2 Malphrus and JamesGoblin reacted to this .

Ask Yawnie about Samiotis. 2) making spys with nearly the same name as a main account then trying to pretend they are not a spy? Well I guess that’s technically possible, but I’d only expect that from someone whose shown they don’t have a good understanding of how spying works in this game.

Press F to pay respects. All this finger pointing when everybody does it as though its required is odd to me. Just admit we are all poorly made socksbags and move on but this morale high ground posturing isn't fooling anybody.

KrakkenSmacken 4,668 Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) FYI, @Malphrus the reason you didn't get to see a siege, was there wasn't one. Order is so bereft of players right now, they didn't have keep walls up, so Balance just waltzed right in, put up walls for them, and waited for the siege timer to start. The other zones ended up so full, there was no way for a real fight to start. A 25 second siege might be a new record never to be beat. Also FYI, I was in the chaos group you followed. People get a bit testy when they think they are being followed to report positions/numbers.
