I came across a noob in world Zeta when I was playing in there. He was by far and away the worst noob I have ever come across. I moved on to an island where he had 2 cities. I quickly built my troops and ships up but I mostly ignored him being on the island. Now I did hit him a few times but it was just for BP as his cities were to small to consider taking. I didn't think much of it really, however he decided to try to spy on me using 1000 silver, now I had about 10 cities at this point and I do regularly store silver so there was no way on earth he was going to get through like that. I sent him a message asking for the silver to be re-paid. He didn't answer so I hit him, cleared his harbour (including the 2 colony ships which were there
) and generally made his life hell.
He then messaged me and asked me not to attack him so, I agreed, so long as he sent me 2000 of each resource each day as rent
.
The next day when I didn't recieve the resources I sent this (after I'd hit his city)
----------------------------------FINAL DEMAND
-----------Final demand notice for ground rent payments on Severn Island
blueconia & Valdeckania
Dear Mr Valdeck,
Due to non payment of ground rent for the above named properties it has become necessary to send the bailiffs to collect the outstanding monies. Please be aware that this process carries a administration charge as detailed below.
Further non payment will result in the administration charge being charged for each day that non payment occurs. If when the bailiffs visit you do not have enough resources to pay the ground rent on the above properties then a demolition team will be sent round to begin the dismantling of your properties.
-----------------yours sincerely

-----------------------------Payment breakdown for ground rent
Required payment--------------
Daily rental fee = Wood-2000
Daily rental fee = Stone-2000
Daily rental fee = Silver-2000
Administration fee = Silver-500
Total Charge for 28 January 2011 = 6500 Resources
Thankfully, the bailiffs managed to collect sufficient payment to keep the demolition crew away. However, you were short of wood to make the payment. So, as a gesture of goodwill, silver was taken to replace the wood shortfall. The bailiff crew were a little over zealous today so the excess resources taken have been returned to you.
We would like to take this oppurtunity to thank you for your payment and we hope you will continue doing business with us.
Have a great day, best wishes
------------------ Severn Island payment recovery team
(which did look much better in game) (and yes I actually did send the excess resources back
)
Now, once he'd recieved this, and the visit from the bailiffs, he sent me a message.
He told me he would build another city on the island which was just for me to plunder if I left his main city alone :heh:
Now, I couldn't resist this so I agreed on the basis that he called the city "Im Diomedes Biatch" (Diomedes being my name in that world)
Now, when he actually did this I really could stop laughing
So, you can probably see that this guy was, by far and away, the worst noob I have ever come across.
