Good job! There are many interesting things about The Badger and his 4 helpers. Watch them, test them to discover them. Then share what is known to everyone as we all put this together. 

(windy did a lot of work which is what took so much time. Ok, ... a lot of that was thinking about what to program, but he did an amazing job. Let us just hope he did not put too much AI into then and they don't take over the internet or anything!)

Everything had become sleepy around Redwall with The Badger still not arriving. Some went back to their normal jobs forgetting about becoming ready for war. Others were so stressed out waiting for the pending doom they formed a new cult called "We Are Road Kill". The Admins and Mods kept working making plans in the Admin Castle. Maybe a bit more relaxed than they had been since they had many more breaks for occasional yoga classes.

The calm was broken with a storm. First a soft sound from the distance, then the yelling kept echoing by others until the words could be made out. "The Badger is here!" was being yelled by everyone. All the Admins ran to the window to look down into the courtyard to see if the battle was in town. There were citizens running around yelling as they made their way to their homes to grab their swords. Except for one, it was Firetooth slowly walking carrying a sign "Buy your goods at Tooth & Brother General Store."

All the Admins looked at each other because they could not see The Badger or what was exciting all the townsfolk. Holby walks over to the window, "I don't recall that mountain to the west?" In slow motion everyone looks up to see a badger the size of a mountain.

Back to the planning table they all run. Ideas where being shot out and quickly shot down. "Even with all of our forces put together we have no chance," said Shael gravely, "we are doomed."

Shadow rips out is abacus, looks at it then tosses it in the fire place. No one had a workable solution. In walked Northern Hordes with the daily mail and he noticed the gloom in the room. "Why are we not charging to war?" he asked.

wolf bite with his muzzle in in paws glanced up and said, "In all my years of being the Emperor Slayer I have never faced one where I am as small as their toe."

Thoughtfully Northern Hordes replied, "Surely you have not thought of all options? Such as there are the 4 armies flanking our town. Do we know what effect attacking them will have on The Badger?"

Straightening his back wolf bite boldly said, "All options are cannot be excluded until we know all the facts. Test them I say. To war against the minions!" With that he charges out to battle.

With a smirk Shadow laughed, "He keeps exiting out like that ... but he is right. We don't know all the information until we fight what we can. All warlords to the castle gate as we prepare to attack The Long Patrol!"

In short time all the warlords were standing side by side waiting for the horn of war to blow. With the trumpet sound the battle is on!

Yup, it is 14 years as of today.

When did you first come on the site?


Wolf Bite

Other people are welcome to jump in here with their thoughts.

We really need to look at who is making things unpleasant. From the time I logged back in, almost every one of my posts or actions have been attacked. My words have been twisted and taken out of context and I am even accused of thoughts some people think I have. For some reason all the untrue, derogatory and insulting comments which have been made against me are over looked and every word I say is nit picked with added meaning put in behind. But I have spent the time addressing every untrue concern. It is like political talking points being thrown at me even after I have proved repeatedly they are not true.

Everything was peaceful for the 2 weeks after woof and I had a truce, all past was forgotten. Then there is a sneak coordinated attack on me from woof without notice or even any disagreement going on and degrading posts of victory against me made in RP. I could have yelled and rightfully made a lot of accusations then launched a greater counter attack against the woof greater assets. But I calmly wrote the clan leaders, stopped any counter strike and posted on the forums trying to calm everything down. I am spending a lot of time working with you on this.

Your clan being upset at you for bringing this drama is not something I am the cause of. There is a lot of effort being put forth here to not make an unpleasant environment. Maybe the question is are we working to work things out or just a forum to try to prove some evil intent I supposedly have?

Thank you Sharptooth for your thoughtful response.  I really don't disagree with your viewpoints and can see where they came from. Communication brings understanding. Please allow me to perhaps fix a few misunderstandings which I had not prior seen.

1) The term "living in their mother's basement" is an American colloquialism, or maybe more an ongoing joke. It is used when someone in their mid 20s has not left home yet. Such as used in many movies like Wayans World.  It was said as a joke. Prior when Firetooth brought it up I thought he was just being overly picky, but now I can see it may translate differently European. For that I am sorry. I did not foresee how that could be taken as anything but a joke. I am also sorry that I thought you guys were over 25 where it would be rather strange to still both be at home.

2) We call all accounts using the same IP a "Bro" account. Reasonably there is always a suspect to all "bro" accounts. I have a "bro" account myself and it is also suspect, as it should be. Bloodwake is related to me. But because of being suspect, we almost never have worked together in the game. Well, ... there was that Scarwake clan. But even to this day where he lives 1,000 miles away (and recently literally moved out of his mother's basement) we still don't work together. I never asked him to join my clan or be part of any wars. That is not saying we have never done a coordinated attack, but I think I have done more coordinated attacks with windy than with Bloodwake. I would like to think that my time here, all I have done for the game and the server that my "bro" account would be beyond suspect. But it is not and I go through extra lengths so there will be no question. There is nothing wrong with me being suspect of ALL "Bro" accounts, and more so if they are doing coordinated attacks.

3) As to nicknames that other people called me, that is not being arrogant. Other people called me by "Grand Master" or "Emperor Slayer" starting over 10 years ago. Look at the same signature below this post which I had since before you started, it says "Grand Master", always has. As to "Emperor Slayer" please look at the RtR introductions when Ereptor (who has been gone 7 or 8 years) how after all that time he greeted me, he called me "Emperor Slayer". Sure, in game for the first time I put it all together, but it seems fitting now that we are fighting The Badger.

I hope that clears up some misunderstanding. The prior war was with woof. Woof formed a truce at which point all past history becomes irrelevant. One of the most dishonorable things in RWL is when a clan continues a war after the clan leaders ended the war. I am finding the past history being thrown at me to justify the attacks, which is not only now irrelevant, but I have no desire to continually defend my perspectives of the facts. Although I can see from above where some misunderstandings would found, I think if said in normal conversations they would not have been made such a big issue, and do not justify the attacks which came prior to my now clarified statements.


Wolf Bite

General, The thread was to talk about moving forward, which could not be done if Firetooth's actions had the support of your clan. So thank you for jumping in. I know how hard it can be to mix personal real world needs with playing a game.

I am almost afraid to post anything because something will be taken out of context.

The question is moving forward. It does take both sides to start a disagreement. Both sides may be reasonable in their thoughts gong in. But when a solution is come to, the past is put aside. I do not hold the past against woof and even was easy on the first mistake and accepted woof explanation without question with the honorable way it was stated. After the sneak attack, I stopped the retail attack my other clan members had which would have done the same dirty trick to woof (taking a lot more damage) that was done on me, because I have moved past the past and we are dealing straight across with each other. I seem to be having difficulty getting these point across to Firetooth as the one sided perspective of the past keeps being tossed at me. Maybe your past relationship can bring some truths over the rumors and get this to move on?


Wolf Bite

Back to off topic again are we? Changing the discussion to be an insulting personal attack does not change facts. Although I disagree with everything right down to you being cooperative at first, as apposed to threatening, which is what started all this and dragged woof in. But as to accounts ....

All "bro" accounts are suspect, and always will be because it is very easy to log into a Bro account on the same IP and excuse it as someone else. I believe it was me that gave him the approval when Sharptooth started. We know Firetooth has a brother, I have 2 of them, but nether of mine play RWL and don't use my computer because we don't live in the same house.

You tend to forget that I can see the IPs of those that post. After 14 years both accounts still sometimes log in under the same IP.

There are also 8 other accounts attributed to your IP (none currently in game) which also are flagged as a possible multi by the computer.

I have suspect for any "bro" account or anytime an IP is used on more than one account, as probably does all the admins and every player. A true statement.

Again I ask, trying to get back on topic, If woof does not approve, then where is the outrage?


Wolf Bite

Urg .... again.

Let us also try to keep factual ... again.

Myself, shadow, shael and windy are only Admins when we are doing admin functions. I even go the extra step to put (Admin Duties) to clarify. We can chat and have opinions. No one yells that an Admin is for or against a political candidate because they posted something. Let us not try to change or twist the established rules because it is me.

The words "I have always suspected is a multi-account" is a true statement. After all, when I left 5 years ago no one could verify you were two people and the Admins debated the issue at the time. If at some time later they verified, then fine. But to be accused, would be someone stating something as a FACT, not suspecting.

Thus, I did not accuse you nor was I acting as an Admin.

Let me think of an example of an accusation, Hummm, oh ... here one is: "an admin publicly promoting this conspiracy about me and sharp". Let us get past this who accused who shall we?

Just another example of things being taken out of context. Wanting to prove an opinion by twisting facts does not make the opinion correct.

Also trying to divert the conversation about the actions you actually did do by making unfounded statements yourself is not helping your cause. Even if it was true someone robbed a bank 10 years ago does not give someone else the right to run them over. Two unrelated issues.

I think the take away here is that no matter what I do or say, Firetooth will try to find ways to justify his actions.

I again, being back on topic, where is the outrage?


Wolf Bite

Oh, so ... this post has been rather quite. Meanwhile I see Firetooth just got a heap load of aid.

Should there not be a lot of outrage?


Wolf Bite

Here we go again, and again it seems. By now most of you are probably trying to read between the lines on the drama of today. Let us back track a moment. As most of you know Firetooth forced the Woof clan into a war with me and my Honor clan because he just could not tolerate me being peaceful. After I went after the woof clan's networth, the other players in the game had a problem with me destroying things. Around that time the Badger was announced and I backed down from the war. Made peace with woof and agreed we would all work as a team for the better of all.

Within 24 hours a woof member broke the truce. Being a fair minded K9 I accepted the woof explanation and did not even post about it.

Apparently there has been problems in the woof ranks where Firetooth still wanted a war. For what reasons beyond his ego you will need to ask him. The woof clan knew this, could not tame their member and did not bother to warn me. My intel tells me this morning he let his clan know he intended to break the truce. The management did not boot their member and did not send me warnings.

Firetooth and his "Bro" (who I have always suspected is a multi-account because what brothers still live in the same basement after 14 years) do a back stab sneak attack with 119 leader missions in what is called a leader suicide. Of course they broke through. Untrained archers can take out a swordsman if there are enough shots being fired. The damage done under the flag of Woof was $160 Billion cash and 1.5 Billion food.

Let us put in perspective how much this is. If all the cash purchased food at the merc price of $10 then it would be 310,000,000 net worth. About half of what the active members of woof have. They acknowledge the fault is theirs and should pay the bill I have sent them. Needless to say they can't afford it without destroying everything they have built. Just think how many skiffs it would take to carry all that loot.

One may say, "Shouldn't woof be more upset at Firetooth and his 'bro' then only booting him until next round?"
Another may say, "Wasn't the old wolf in last rank 2 weeks ago, how was the crafty wolf hiding that much net worth?"
My clan is saying, "Slay the evil dogs that let this happen!"

But the real question is where to go from here? With The Badger coming if I take out woof in retaliation then the meaning of this game will never happen. Waiting for woof payment after they break The Badger will just be table scraps. Attacking Firetooth who has nothing will just be a never ending waste of time.

Open for suggestions and discussion ....


Wolf Bite

wolf bite calmly sends a bill to the woof clan for the second violation of the peace treaty.

Firetooth's "victory" party is interrupted with an order from the Woof Executive Board to immediately appear before them.

[[The badger will show up without advance notice in about a week. There will be 4 other armies which fighting them will weaken the Badger.]]

Back at the Admin Castle all the Admins have been hard at work all week. Some have been organizing food and money storage as others have been training armies. "The Badger is coming!", keeps playing in their ears. In rushed Gen. Volkov, in his best outfit with the flowing cape and his round rimmed classes down to the tip of his nose. After him and wolf bite exchanged a stern look, than a nod, he approached the planning table.

"My scouts bring news from about The Badger," the General has a worried look and continued, "his main force is still marking straight toward our town, which we knew. But ... be intends to flank us!"

"This is direr news.", said Shael as she glanced up from reading her fan mail.

"It is indeed," said the General "He sent 4 armies to flank us."

"And they are all named 'Frank'?" Asked a bewildered Holby.

"But maybe not a bad thing," said Shadow as he pulled out his abacus and did some fast calculations. "The Badger is gigantic, but if he is spreading into 4 other armies, then taking those out will lower his forces."

"Which one is named 'Frank?'" asks Holby.

"Hummm, then we will need to concentrate on his minions first to reduce the size of The Badger" said the thoughtful General.

wolf bite boldly steps forward and pulls out his double broadswords and starts flipping them around in a skilled way then with all drama stabs them both deep into the wooden floor. "Then death to the advancing armies. I will jump on the back of the biggest one and slice at its neck until dead!" With that the wolf stomps toward the exit.

Shael does a loud (cough) to get his attention, "Then maybe you should remove your swords from my freshly waxed floors and take them with you?"

The wolf freezes realizing his mistake, slowly turns, and without meeting eyes with anyone slowly walks back to pull his swords from the floor. He slowly heads for the door and once around the corner his footsteps indicated he was running to make up for lost time.

The General continues, "My spies inside The Badger army tell me they will camp just outside of town for a few days, then suddenly storm us. We will not have advanced notice until he is here."

"About how much more time to get ready do you think we have?" Asked windy.

"My intel says about a week." Said the General.

Shael asks, "Should someone tell wolf bite to come back in here because there is nothing to fight yet?"

Shadow turns back to his abacus with a smirk, "He should figure it out when he gets to the front gates and does not find anything to stab at."

"I am still not understanding who 'Frank' is." Said Holby.

Poor windy has been in his blacksmith shop forging for weeks to build it.

[[On the scores page there is a tiny badger above rank one. Its size will be your best and only indication of how close it is. When it reaches full size it will pop into the emperor's rank.]]

The Admins and Mods spent that night around their table with maps and plans trying to figure out how large of an army The Badger Lord had. When daybreak came there was a cry from the south Watchtower. "I see something! I see something!" screamed TS.

Shadow ran to the window and glanced out but could not see what TS was talking about. windy reached into his utility bag (which had the symbol of a bat on it) and pulled out a telescope. Then with heightened vision Shadow too could see something in the distance.

"I am not sure what that is, but something large is out there. It must be The badger Lord." He said.

Holby had himself noticed an interesting spider web in the corner of the room and started taping it in utter fascination.

We must tell the citizens what is happening and let them know to get ready," authoritatively said Shael, "Call in the Town Crier."

Neo walked in and said, "Wow, I have never been in these chambers before. Even the tour I took does not let me in here. But that was some time ago. Hey, did you know there is a great sale on apples at Tooth and Brother General Store? I once saw a solar ellipse which seemed to turn the land yellow. Do you think I need new shoes? There was this one pair of shoes I once had that ..."

"Shhh," Said Shael. "You are tasked to tell every vermin in Redwall that The Badger Lord has been spotted. We now know how close it is. Tell all to get ready."
