We did not lose a single tower we tried to defend. InVigil did not capture a single tower that was defended. I hope they are not feeling like they are some kind of PvP Giants for capturing unoccupied towers.
I killed someone's primary toon with my 1000xp alt, one-on-one. Then my partner finally joined and we fully looted his husk, and killed him a second time. I call that a win, far more than having captured 100 uncontested towers.
The truth would point to something different. You are absolutely correct that you killed one player hanging out on a tower. (me) And you got loot (stuff I scavenged while waiting for you all). You chose to target one person, rather than the groups who were capping your towers. In other words, you fell for classic diversionary tactics. (Hence why I didn't even fire back)
Later, three of you came to another tower where we had six. One person did fight (until his armor and sword disappeared) but the other two ran away as soon as they saw a force...

Mbando, I've thought about making my way up to OZ to try gathering for mobile resource nodes, but you don't seem to have enough players to make it worth the trip. :(
Except when you try to do something coordinated. We seem to have been there (and victorious) pretty much every time you have tried. Just Lucky Ducks I guess....
What is the big deal? You assisted at a failed attempt at our towers. We came south to return the favor. You were not there. That is not anyone's fault but your own. We know that at the very least, one of AGC was on while this happened. This is less than a month into these activities. I am sure that towers will change hands (on all sides) many times. No one over here feels invincible. We aren't going to sit by when you attack our towers, our mobile resource nodes, or the same to any of our friends. We are not going to sit still when you kill crafters of any company or settlement (near us) in player towns. We are always ready when our friends want to do a joint operation or they need some extra help.
I noticed that your groups have a PVP window that is set for when most people are at work. That is a smart move, although not very courageous.
Our PVP window is generally set for prime time. Just not on days when we have schedualed meetings during that time. One of your close allies moves thier window often. I have not watched yours at all yet. Before AGC joined you, I had very little interest in Aragon's window.

The best thing is that we don't need to feel like or be PVP giants. Things have just worked out for us those times. Isn't that funny? AmIwrong? :) We have very few experienced PVPers ourselves. We are in T1 gear. Just as was pointed out (by your guys) last time we defended our towers.
Despite your spin on this, I believe that most people can see how things are shaping up. You like PVP, or so some of you claim. When you win, some of you talk smack. It is starting to look like what you really want is just to win. There is a long, chaotic war ahead of us. A little smack talk is pretty harmless.

I think it's undeniable that Kathalphas exiting the NAP has made things way more interesting, just as promised. So I say kudos to them for taking the plunge and winning someone at Goblinworks a bet.
I'm not in on the details of the GW pool that Ryan reference jokingly, but in most parts of the world, an agreement between multiple groups is not considered over because some of the parties withdraw from or break it.
As far as I know, the NAP still exists, and two settlements have decided not to be part of it.

Actually we did capture a tower every night we went for one [editors note- actually we missed one by under 60 pts and the timer ran out. :(]
Not sure where you got that information from, but it's wrong. The fact that GPunk and the gang couldn't take them back is why you dropped the NAP in the first place. If he was face rolling us, I seriously doubt there would of even been an incentive to go for our core 6. [editors note - removed the comment about Bludd. I know he's not a child because I met him. Irregardless of what I think of his recent posts. lol ;) ]
But Ozem's Vigil has never been about PVP with some PVP and a cup of PVP to dump our PVP in. What we have been about is trying to be honest, friendly and enjoy this game the best way we can. That friendship paid off last night. And I assure you it will be reciprocated ten fold. That's how we roll.

You mean the world doesn't revolve around those guys?
Are you sure?

Yeah. The NAP still exists across 90% of the map. The thing is, I bet the pool was for the first major incident resulting from it, or something similar - and this would certainly count for that.

mobile resource nodesI love this. Is it new?
I thought this was about the tail wagging the dog, and the dog saving face by wagging itself when everybody noticed.I think it's more likely that Aragon's tail started wagging (i.e. AGC announcing it wasn't content with the NAP) and Aragon realized it was going to have to make a tough call: Cut off the tail, or give up an NAP?
Yes, AGC definitely put all this into motion, but this doesn't look like it's about "saving face". It's about choosing between some valuable, active players and a pact that, in my opinion, is no longer needed.

We are bandits, we are looking for loot, not towers. Player Husk Looting is our goal. When done in tower hexes with open PvP windows, no rep loss..... Joy!We do not value what many of the other players value. That is why many of you just don't get us.
Oh really...
I honestly wish I could make this stuff up.
Our belief is that the contest of controlling, capturing and even losing alpha six towers will generate the PvP opportunities that the system was intended to create...Are these supposed to be contradicting each other? Because they aren't. Even ignoring that these are different people with different ways of expressing themselves (and likely some occasionally divergent opinions), and even ignoring that different goals will be focused on in different posts (making the ignorance of context kind of a problem in this case), they don't contradict. They are two distinct statements. At most, you could voice a thematic contradiction, but again, different players, different posts.
Also, Bluddwolf may have been speaking mainly for Aragon there. You know, the settlement he...
Very perceptive of you Kobold. Bottom line, Freevale wished to get out of the NAP, we discussed it within the Council of Aragon, and there was the probability that some of our sponsored companies would violate the NAP again. The Goodfellow, Talonfox and I came to the same conclusion. Better to withdraw from the NAP and address all of our interests, even though each was at a slightly different angle than the others, but addressed the same issue. We are really not that interested in the WoT other than it allows for Rep free PvP hexes, and the opportunity for banditry.
It's like $45, buddy. With that kinda monedas, I could buy three more months of PFO!
Anyway, could be my knowledge of screencap software is just really outdated. But I'll totally be using Twitch or "OBS" when enter the game today or tomorrow. Wish me luck! Let's see if I can make it safely to Tavernhold without tripping over the bodies of people who get in my way.
He rolled out of the barrel, kicking it spitefully as he went. He could feel warm blood trickling down the sides of his head. "Killed by my own barrel," he muttered. "That'd be a new one."
He stood up and looked around. To his confusion, he was not surrounded by the familiar sights of Tavernhold, or even of the Highlands. He had, in fact, never seen this town before in his life.
He wiped some blood out of his eye. "What the hell happened last night?"
