...From Windhounds #116

I was poking around one of my old computers the other day and came across two text files, one named messages.txt, the other messages2.txt
In them I found a substancial amount of correspondance from my first account, Windhounds #116, in RWL's First Era.  I wish I had my responses as well, but finding and reading through these again was fun.
People were much more in character playing the game then than now.  Heck, even the clan invites were in char for the most part.
I scrolled through and randomly copied those that caught my eye.  Some of them would have been concidered classified at the time, but I'll assume noone cares now

Question:



What did I ever do to you, in the, what, four days I';ve been in the game? You could've waited at least a week, surley, before launching the ''master stroke'' which has irreperably crippled the military & construction industry of a newbie?



Yours,

Commeander Raine Valthurak

I know you would have had heaps of other offers, bribes, etc. From other clans, but would you consider joining mine?

I created it yesterday and don't have a single member.

Thanks for your time,

I am afraid that my attacks cannot stop, as I have much land that I must recover. Bogfoot attacks me daily and takes over 10,000 acres. Fortunately we shall soon be rid of Lord Kalagon's Tyranny, as he is to be destroyed by Stormclaw.

Advertising! Yay!



You aren't in a clan and you aren't pooling your defense with anyone-if you want, you can join our clan, -TBV-, a.k.a. The Brotherhood of Vermin. We are currently: the fourth most powerful clan and we are also currently recruiting members to build up our defense pool to even greater heights. If you want to join, just send a message saying so and I'll give you the password!



~Rokkar

P.S. there are two diplomatic positions left-I may fill one, but you never know.... there'd still be one open, correct?

The new code (of the Beatles clan) states that I must retaliate for every attack made upon me, exactly the same number of times. In your case, this means 1 attack(s), regardless of success of either side; which will be executed promptly. Please understand this.

I will tell you, but with one condition: peace between us. That is, you, and me. 116-458 peace treaty. It's a foru-pronged strategy, and the explanation is simple.

 

At Thu, 19 Dec 2002 21:28:17 -0600, a messenger from The Beatles! (#458) brought this to you...

Ok, then. Staots have OP 5, DP 3. So, that's why. My strategy is:

1. GO stoats only. Management should be: 5-10-70-15.

2. As many huts as barracks.

3. Wildcat species.

4. No savings, no extra food - all on stoats.



In a nutshell, that's it. I'll tell you more later.



Top secret, of course. And darn simple.

I'm doing pretty well. 1.3 mil stoats, 1.5 mil weasels, 1.3 mil rats, 200k leaders. Sovereign Allegiance attacked me today and I repelled him. I saw he penetrated Deathclaw though. I think I can bring him down with some murder attacks, then leader attacks. He probably can't penetrate me with anything but his rats. I don't know.

Urgh....I just got attacked by Revolution of Valiant Light(587) and he took about 4000 acres of land from me. Main reason I messaged you was to give you fair warning. I am pretty sure that Alliance has some problems with EVTF, and they are probably go after our stronger members; You, Deathcalw, Mossflower assassins, and me. So I am going to talk to Deathclaw about what we should do about them when he gets back tomorrow. *Leaves whimpering because his economy was perfect and now sucks again.*

egad..I just attacked another 5 times, and now my losses are half my troops and 10,000 acres of land. *cries some more about how life is so unfair* But I did ask Blueeyes to help me out a little, considering we have an alliance with EO and I am on pretty good terms with all EO members. Hehe if I get help from EO i can get my land back from #587. *sinister thoughts are being planned*

Hey. My recent attacks on others reduced my army a lot... I don't have to worry about someone taking my rank because the person closest to be has 10,000,000 less networth. Steal from 796. He has over $3,000,000,000. It won't let me, as it gets foiled... when you do it you will get a few hundred million... maybe $250,000,000 $300,000,000.

Windhounds, I am going to make you leader of EVTF. I am going to Vermin United. If you wish to leave EVTF or do not want to be leader PLEASE appoint a new leader, and let the clan live on. I might come back someday, but now this is best to keep Alliance from attacking me. I have posted a topic about it, and hope to come back. I'll stay on the clan forum. If you need to know anything or need my or VU's help, message me and I'll do my best to defend the honorable EVTF Alliance.

 

At Mon, 13 Jan 2003 10:59:15 -0600, a messenger from Ereptor's Raiders (#61) brought this to you...

To the following warlords. #227 #269 #536 #116.

EVTF and Alliance have split. Members from both leaving to the new clan VU. Alliance in order to stay afloat has attack on someone other than VU. VU is strong, but i don't think all of the members are interested in the same thing. Vu does have the strong 3. Delor, blueyes and Austin.

This puts us other warlords in a position to be used as farms. Last night alliance and vu decided to farm me. I don't think i can survive thier armies. I suggest we do something. If we ally together we might be able to last a little longer. If we join together in one clan and ally with either alliance or vu we have a even stronger chance of survival. Even a chance of overthrowing one of the other clans and becoming a strong clan ourselves.

This is in our hands if we want to survive or not. The choices are. 1. Depend on your own relations for your own personal survival. 2. Ally together 3. Join together in one clan ( yet to be decided ). 4. Die

I see no other way at this point. Please get back to me ASAP.

Yours in good faith,

Ereptor

At Mon, 13 Jan 2003 22:42:52 -0600, a messenger from Ereptor's Raiders (#61) brought this to you...

Ok 269 has not replied. 116 has stated he does not want to change clans. 536 and 227 have made it clear that a new power needs to rise in order for us to survive. I propose we make a new clan. instead of someone joining someone elses clan, we will start anew. I will make the clan as soon as you two write me back. i will ask high members of my clan to join and i am sure 269 will join and others will join soon. I think the clan should be called "Union". Standing for the union of the clans together. Write me back with your opinions. We will become the secound largest clan. No doubt. If 116 joins us maybe he can bring his alliance with VU to us and we can defeat alliance and become the 2nd larest clan. Chow.

Windhounds,

If you join us you have the power to shift your allaince with VU and EVTF to VU and UNION. We could really use you. I offer you shared leadership. I have managed to gather members from many clans together. this is imparitive to our survival. 536 will join if you come. we could have a very strong alliance. please re think your decision.

Ereptor

[Ruddertail]

I think it was probably a result of being newer, both to the game and to the people you're playing with. Those both lead to a lot of formality, which you lose as you gain experience with the game and familiarity with people. Just look at the way a new player writes today (those that aren't the annoying kind, anyhow.) I bet you'll find they're pretty close to that old style...

Experienced players, on the other hand, tend to sign their universal name, rather than their account name, and address friends in shorthand, or skip address altogether.


I also found it amusing how "a lot of money" was $1 billion... brought back memories of how I used to think a bill was a lot of cash. Now? $1 bill? Pocket change, except for the first run out of protection.

[Immortal]

haha reading this prompted me to go read my old forum posts.

In fact, I found that you (windy) were around when I played despite your forgetfulness when you replied to my hello post :P hehe. evidently I made you have to reset your emp count during whatever round it was.

The troop numbers were also tiny with a large amount of troops equating to 5mil or more ^^. I was also in Loren with wolf and holby! and i somehow forgot that.

The weirdest thing I found out was the change in myself? did you see any of that in your messages windy?

I'd post the most random things and coupled with IFman, we were probably the clowns of the forums at the time... In fact, we made a clan called Lazy Noobs and actually tried to compete with the top clan of the round :P haha, avg nw was the same but we clearly lost :P funny how at the time avg nw was what i used to compare clans.

And sending l33t monkey ninjas of DOOM at Volkov! :P that gave me a good laugh. Same goes with the time some top players posted that RWL was a bit boring and I posted something really random and inflammatory and my reputation was at the point where Holbs and otheres thought I was amusing. I even made a RWL Oscars post that made it to Germania's Fun Stuff page. Looks to be some parody of Forum Awards.

Strange how much you change in a few years. I really can't believe the difference in number nowadays though between troop #'s, nw#'s and food and cash#'s. I read a forum post that said that I had 2 bil food of nw and nothing else and I ran and HPR strat which I'm assuming is leaders and food. Mmm also, theres alot of ppl who I seemed to talk to but dont' really remember atm. Ahh and making an rp website with Peace. How'd that end up going Peace? Is it still around?

Btw, what does HPR stands for? I can't recall what the term means.

Ahh last but not least. LAppren! How could I forget that. That's such an amazing idea, having an open clan for newbies and people looking to learn to join. And then having resident masters to teach them. Backed by the pretty dominant emp clan to prevent unwarranted attacks. Would be nice to start something like that again if not for the lack of players.

[Holby]

I have all of mine, too. But no way am I going to separate them into quotes :P . I also must make note of windy capitalising his own name, in order to force an apology from him for telling the rest of us off for it. :)

-EDIT- I might just keep the good ones, too.

To various powerful, non-allied warlords:
Let me first explain why you are recieving this message. The fact is that we all know DI is nearly all powerful. We also know that the other tiny clans have no chance of defeating DI if they attack each other.

So I have a proposition. Let us all join in one clan together, we powerful non-allied warlords. Let us forgive past offenses that we have committed against each other, for they will get us nowhere. In this way, instead of fighting petty fights among ourselves like we have been doing, we may rise to the top, perhaps convincing already allied clan members to join us on the way up.

So what say you? Will you join me in this quest to overthrow the reigning regime? Respond to this message please. If enough people respond with good intent, then the clan shall form.

As first diplomat of the Delor Independent Forces, I would ask that you activate the option of using your forces for ally defence. This greatly helps in defending other members of the clan when they are attacked. Only 10% of your forces will be used, and that many of every other member's troops are already committed to defending you and any other clan member under attack. Thank-you.

Hmmm, destroying takes more effort. Here's what I propose. 1000 stoats for every time I attack him (I'm being lenient, one attack takes me about the doouble of that), plus 15 million food and 20 million bucks.

The price is negotiable. Not all that much, but negotiable.

15 mil food, 15 mil money, and 1000 stoats until he's down to 100 acres. From then on, 100 an attack.

Okay. Tomorrow, I'll execute 15 attacks on longsters, #309. When he's under 100 acres, I'll start charging exactly 100 stoats per attack.

Thanks!

Hello my fellow clan member, Lets talk! Do you have AOL Instant Messenger? If not, a guess we can still talk over these messages...

Oh well.... Hehe.. It's been a while hasn't it Holby? I remember when I recruited you into DI. Dang, it has been a while.

Well, Yes... I'm trying to somewhat conceal my identity for now. Atleast to those I do not know or trust, or are not in my clan. So Holby--Are you my friend? Would you like to be my personal ally? We agree only to aid eachother. I find these kind of alliances much more affective than the actual clans, and I was wanting to know if you would accept my friendship.

Hiya Holby!

Longsters is too low. I get the message that my generals politely refuse, etc., etc.
So, please tell me how I should pay you back. It's better for me to pay you back in troops and not food, money. SO, please tell me what you need, and I'll see about it. OK?

Knowing that you are a weathered and experience player in the game, I extend to you an invitation to serve the Falcon as a commanding general in the royal forces of Faltriaday. Whatever your decision, please return notification with this messenger. My thanks are given.

Hello Hair Raisers, I am Wickedclaw, assistant leader of the clan Knights of Invicticus(KOI). Due to your apparent skill for this game, you have been invited to join the great clan Knights of Invicticus (KOI) If you are interested, message me back. I urge you to consider this invitation. Right now it is not an extremely strong or large clan, but it holds two of the stronger members of the game, Menatus Blackhorde and I, and it will become a great clan with time and effort.

Thanks for you consideration,
Wickedclaw

Excellent. I was beginning to wonder if you were going to respond, but I'm happy all the same. I'd be glad to have you join. You just have to agree to the following rules, pledge your loyalties to the Falcon, etc. If you find the rules perhaps a bit too strict, then I could make them slightly looser, but the basics hold.

1. Hordes listed as protected shall not be attacked under any circumstances. Should you be attacked by one among them, contact an official immediately and the situation will be regulated.

2. Unless the clan is at war with a warlord's clan or a specific warlord, attacks by clan members will be limited to 3 per day on any warlord, with a maximum of 4 every 2 days. Retaliatory attacks can be made up to twice as much as those originally suffered.

3. Failure to obey the rules may result in punishment as severe as immediate expulsion from the clan and execution by clan members in the most extreme cases.

4. Under healthy conditions, those loyal to the Falcon will not attack further than 15 ranks below them. In times of weakness, attacks are permitted up to 30 ranks below, never further. The only exceptions to this are clan wars or retaliatory attacks.


If you're alright with the preceding, then here's the password: falconfly
Looking forward to having you in the clan, Holby!

Yes. It's a given that I didn't bother listing in the rules. You'll benefit much more than myself from that, anyhow. Oh yes, forgot the cool letter closing thing last time. Let the Falcon soar with thee in the grace of glory.

Gave you a bit of aid there, just cause I was feelin' nice, and you're the first member to join the Empire of Faltriadary aside from myself. I would have sent twice as much money, but I'm running a bit low at the moment compared to usual.

I noticed the aid you sent me. Thanks for that. I also attacked starfire (#101) once for you, did a murder on them, and sent them a warning message. I'm not going to shield you guys completely, but in my opinion, they launched a few too many attacks against you from a position too high.

The password is "thoseloyal". You'll now see it listed under the clan news. As for starfire, I doubt you'll really have any major problems with them as long as you follow the attack regulations. Oh, and if you're wondering, leader missions do not count as attacks. You could do 50 murders on someone, and it would not be breaking the rules, though I'd advise against that kind of thing, except in the most extreme cases. Leader attacks do count, however. Basically it only encompases land-taking.

I could not do very much about Wildcat Army's predicament, as trying to attack them would basically destroy my army. Should they start attacking again, however, I will take some action, most likely in the form of leader attacks. As for your attacks against Red Raiders, I'll consider the fact that you recognized your mistake and sent aid to cancel it out. However, I'm not certain exactly how much authority I still hold over you. How has it come about that you are no longer a member of the Falcon clan?

I have received complaints from Deathclaw (Deathclaw's Empire #653) about you attacking him, Holby. I checked and only counted six attacks over two days, but it's still too much. There's no need for real punishment, but I have had friendly peace with Deathclaw for quite some time now, so I'll deal out a minor punishment to you for your slight slip, and a favour to him at the same time. I'd like you to stop attacking him for the next two days, and then to limit your attacks to one per day max on him after that. Thanks.

hey, you followed me up :)
why did you spend so long in the lower 40's anyways?
I think you sent me some food a while back, when you were in the top 20 before... if you want it I can send it back, I think it was close to 20 mil units or so... maybe I'm off...
Anyways, just wanted to say good job on getting back up, and good luck staying up here...
