Also, looking at the dueling stats is appears that Dat King has been on a rampage the last couple of days. Up to #270 in the rankings and climbing quickly.

Are you talking about that "sunday" group of towns?

[hoopsguy]

Yep, plenty of high level action down there - just not sure if you are looking for that kind of action.

Thanks, can troutville participate in the fort battles too or no?

Anyone can participate in any fort battle. Just travel to the fort and you can select whether to attack or defend. You can see upcoming fort battles by going to the Fort Overview tab on the right of your screen.

I'm working on finishing the town construction for El Dolado. If anyone wants to help, they are welcome. We finally got a good fort-battle gun, but it is level 73 minimum.

Once we finish Dolado, I'd still be up for starting a third town just for the purpose of having more shopping choices...though someone would have to volunteer to be a member of that town and respond to shopping invites.

Sounds like a plan to me.

[BrianD]

I just got dueled by El Torpedo...a worker from Angry Pants. I should send him a thank you note since he gave me 108 experience and $493.

[DeToxRox]

Just hit Level 46, then did part one of Kate's Ring quest to get 600 more XP and 1200 bucks. A good day at the office.

Can someone send me an invite to Troutsville? I need to pick up the Fancy Shoes so I can start doing Prison Guarding for two quests I have to do.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Just a heads up, a few minor housekeeping rule changes, nothing earthshaking that I see though. Figured I'd mention it though.
Important: Rule changes - Forum The West

Today we have made several changes to the rules. It is very important you read through the rules again to make sure you do not violate them. These new rules are effective immediately. This means that any violations of these new rules in the past do not matter (you shouldn't report them). Please also wait a week before reporting players who appear to be violating these new rules.

You can read the updated rules in full here: Help

In most cases the changes are examples and clarifications. However, we do have one new rule:
§4) Push duels

It is forbidden to duel players with the intended result of pushing the player with experience or money.

Examples
* It is not allowed to take your clothes and weapons off with the intent to lose a duel on purpose.
* It is not allowed to purposely let yourself be dueled in an attempt to lose money
* It is not allowed to purposely duel someone and lose in an attempt to lose money

The other changes are:

Rule 1: Addition of: "An account can only be played by one player."
Rule 1: Example: "It is forbidden to look after someone's account when they are on holiday.".

Rule 2: Addition of: "However, it is allowed to participate in the same fort battles."

Rule 3: Addition of: "We also do not allow advertisements/links to other web based games, referral systems or money making schemes. This concerns every area of the game where players can post their own text or graphics."
Rule 3: Example: "It is allowed to link to suitable Youtube videos"
Rule 3: Example: "It is allowed to link to web games operated by InnoGames GmbH, but no others"

3305 from Painful Gulch just hit me. I let their town founder know that any attacks on their workers are in retribution for this hit. Feel free to take some vengeance guys. I'll send a note to our allies as well in case they want to take a few shots.

Way outta my league I'm afraid. My dueling ain't all that hot & I'd get slaughtered pdq by most of their tops.

But I did take a look at least

[DataKing]

How long a ride is it to Painful Gulch?

It was either 4 or 4 1/2 hours from El Dolado.

[Poli]

I've got someone names saimonk who keeps dueling (and winning) against me.

It's a little annoying.

Assuming you're both currently wearing your usual combat gear, she shouldn't be beating you consistently unless she's incredibly loaded on her skills.

Are you remembering to change up your dodge & shooting patterns after dueling? If so, have you gotten predictable enough that she's picked up on your changes?

[Poli]

I haven't typically worn my dueling gear....I've been doing quest type stuff instead...but the duel gear is definitely coming out for an attempt at revenge.

[mrkilla22]

3305 just dueled me twice as well.

[BrianD]

He's got his dueling stats on his bio...something like 78-8. Makes sense if he is picking on workers. I'd love to see some of our guys messing up his records. He seems to like headshots when he is attacking.

3 hours from El Dolado with a quarter horse and dueler class (10% speed).

[Grammaticus]

In order to use the dueling weapons, if it has a level requirement of 50, does your actual level or dueling level have to be 50 or greater?

[DataKing]

Actual.

[DataKing]

Dola.

I'm rather embarrassed to say that I went to Painful Gulch last night, looking for some retaliation, and lost to a damn worker. Granted, it was obviously a worker with a dueler build, but still. Note to self...stay the hell away from people with Strength builds...my build is no good against them.

Waste of an evening.

Just a note, I'm off doing some shopping so if there are any town related issues that need tending (re: Fort battle), please let me know. Not sure how long my Mexican set shopping will take but I figure I'll be wandering a majority of the weekend given that I'll have spotty internet access times. Just want to make sure I'm there to help if we need to do any fighting.

[DeToxRox]

So I lied and was an idiot.

Can I get an invite back to Troutsville. I didn't realize they had corrosive acid there and I need that as I continue on with that set.

[JonInMiddleGA]

If any dueler finds themselves in the vicinity of "blackgunn" from The Shores of Avalon, feel free to administer an asswipping to him. A 399-102 loss wasn't a whole lot of fun for me, nor was the $48 loss.

[BrianD]

Can I get an invite to Troutville? There are a few set items I'd like to buy.

[Danny]

Wow, just hit a guy with dueling level 58 for 770hp in a duel.

Which town did you go to in order to buy a gatling gun?

[DeToxRox]

Okay, now I am ready for a Dolado invite.

[Danny]

Nice dueling day so far, 6-0 including that 770 above and I just beat Dick Van Dangle and hit him for 550 damage. Should I wait here and hit him to passing out here since he has attacked out workers?

Feel free to put that sumbitch in a coma afaic.

[cartman]

Heading to Saltpoint Creek to join you in some asswhuppin' once I checkout of the hotel.

[DeToxRox]

I went to hit Van Dangle but lemme know if someone else goes for the KO. I have an hour walk to get him.

[Danny]

I'll let you know if I get the KO, if not, you can get it, I hit him for 550 first time, we'll see if I can hit him for enough this time. He is a ranged soldier, so I am guessing I will be able to take down the rest of his HP.

[cartman]

I'm in the hotel for the next three hours, so I probably won't duel any more until the morning.

[Danny]

Dicky passed out on my 5th shot.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Night night sweet peckerhead.

[Poli]

Payback's a saimonk, saimonk.

[DeToxRox]

Can I get a Dolado invite? I am pretty sure I have everything I need.

6 more hours of Trading with Indians and then I'll be level 47. I'm cruising up.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Got a in-game message today, would appreciate some FOFC'er feedback before I reply (if another founder hasn't handled this already).

thanoswebb Today at 8:17 AM
Hey Luke, I am a long time member of the "La Vie" clan and I am currently stuck in the north at a CA member town and was hoping to come closer to home. I could stay briefly if you prefer or longer if that is not a problem. I would appreciate the invite.
Twebb

My initial reaction is something along the lines of "not a problem if you need a few days to recover from your journey" sort of thing. Along with "pretty much normal rules apply including, of course, no attacking other peoples workers".

I'm not much on acting unilaterally in the game though, everybody here has contributed too much to our relative success not to get some input.

So, thoughts?
( I just don't want to leave the guy hanging too long)

[CU Tiger]

asdrubale from La Vie Anarchiste just beat the shit outt of my adventurer

[hoopsguy]

Is it worth a quick validation with one of the folks over at the La Vie towns to validate that this was a member in good standing?

I'm just not sure why he would not stay in their own towns - am I missing something here? "stuck in the north at a CA town", "looking to come closer to home"? Are they out of town spots for their long-time members?

My worry is that this might be someone that they booted who knows that we had a good relationship with that town and is looking to create trouble. But that is probably just paranoia.

[JonInMiddleGA]

I'm kind of sitting on this one for now I think, hoopsguy raises a good point & I think someone who has a relationship with LaVie's leadership (which definitely ain't me) ought to have a short chat with them about the attack on CU Tiger as well.
