Forgot to mention that the Mourn Blackhand account is the Blackwood Glade settlement owner.
These are both Kickstarter Destiny Twin accounts with all the daily deals, shieldmates, and twice marked of Pharasma.
This is just not the game I was hoping for.
Account 1 has 2 characters, already named: Mourn Blackhand & Malakith Telva. They are both male elves currently in Blackwood Glade. They both have a bunch of stuff in the bank as well as some +2 items.
Mourn Blackhand is a fighter 8, cleric 2, rogue 2 set up as an archer. He also has skills in tanner and tailor. Dex of 11 and 22,000 free XP as of 3/1.
Malakith Telva is a wizard 6, cleric 2 rogue 1. He is an Armor smith 6. Str of 11 and 16,200 free XP as of 3/1.
The account has 16-17 months of game time left.
Make me an offer by PM please.
Account 2 has 2 characters, already named: Sakina Silverrain & Celayna. They are both female elves currenty in Blackwood Glade. They both have a bunch of stuff in the bank as well as some +2 items.
Sakina Silverrain is a cleric 8, fighter 4, wizard 2. 11,000 free XP as of 3/1.
Celayna is a crafter. cleric 1, fighter 1, rogue 1, wizard 1. smelter 7. 64,000 free XP.
The account has 14 months of game time left.
Make me an offer by PM please.

I really wish you would reconsider this course of action. No one wants to see you guys leave the game like this.
Someone obviously wanted them gone or this wouldn't have happened.
People need to understand, this is a griefer game in that in order for one group or person to derive any actual entertainment value someone else has to suffer grief.

That flat out is not remotely true. I enjoy gathering. I enjoy playing with TEO. Doing so does not cause anyone grief (except Cheatle, I annoy him for fun some days).

Basically the game stuffed up the company/settlement interface and leadership in a way that made two Keepers tower hexes which were very close to Blackwood Glade impossible to attach to Keepers for 48 hours and Golgotha came down and semi camped the hexes to take advantage of the 24/7 PvP that was a result of the game bug and hit a few adjoining hexes while they were at it. BWG were not the target but took the brunt of the attack.
This thread is not an appropriate place to argue the details however as Mourn is trying to sell an account.

This is a tempting offer, though I feel if I bought an account associated with settlement control, I fear people would question my legitimacy as a leader... as perhaps they should.
Edit: Anyway, I probably couldn't afford to be the highest bidder. There was someone offering $500 for a settlement earlier.

The majority of the current settlement leaders got theirs because they bought a guild pack or two in the kickstarter. I wouldn't worry about legitimacy. There are very few "legitimate" leaders at the moment.
I can only confirm this. Thod is NOT a legitimate leader. It should be Theodum. I still haven't figured out how this dwarven usurper managed to get control over MY Pathfinder lodge.
Outrageous

Well, the argument could be made that someone who bought accounts for a guild of people who voted for them in the land rush has a much more legitimate claim to leadership than someone who buys a town that won a spot in the land rush after the fact... but I am always in favor of anyone questioning their leadership.

The tough part is you'll need combat PvPers to be viable with such a late start, and so many of those people have already chosen a settlement.
You have to ask yourself what you can offer that could draw them away from their previous settlement choices.
According to Ryan's PFO-U talk, there are also thousands of players not in settlements, but I have a hard time picturing them being avid PvPers.
But if you recruit unaligned folks, maybe they'll get territorial and you can convert them to PvPers.

Given the location the settlement is more of interest to one of the two top existing settlements who presumably would move several companies there if they won the bid.

It would probably be a better strategy for them to just buy it out and dismantle it, less settlements = more towers for them. Unless they want to use it as a barrier or a staging area.

I am glad you were able to sell it. At least you got something back from this unfortunate debacle.
I do however believe at some stage GW needs to look at settlements being attached to one account and transferable to the account buyer. It could in some circumstances be exploitable by unscrupulous players with excess real money.

Having real money to buy in-game items, including settlements, is not unscrupulous (imo) it s just an advantage that some have.
There is a person in another Kickstarter that has offered to give away the $10,000 Kickstarter reward of having dinner with the developers and he has also offered to pay for the airfare (round trip) from anywhere in the world so that the person has no cost to attend.
I see selling the account with an attached settlement as being something worth $1000+ especially before settlements can be fought over and potentially lost.

It's generally not seen that way. World of tanks eventually had to scrap their "gold ammo" despite making a fortune off it as it was detrimental to the game.
If your faction can become dominate simply because you live in a country where your players have the cash to simply purchase every other settlement in game regardless of your actual ability to play the game it is counterproductive and the game will eventually fail.
GW allowing players to achieve political dominance through real money is in fact endorsing cheating. There is no other way to describe it.
