Attacks on FDU members

It hurts me to say this, but another of our members has started suffering from constant thieving raids. The player "Klandestine" has been hit (so far) a total of eleven times, with the thieves clearing out whatever was not protected by her vaults.

The fact that there are players who would not only pick on newer players (who still have little or no way to protect themselves, especially as diplomats cannot be stationed at allied towns), but also on players who are in a training alliance, is something Illyria needs to come to terms with, and identify & eradicate such damaging attitudes.

It's a shame that these things happen on a daily basis here. Shame.

Personally I wouldn't discuss ways to defend yourselves against one kind of diplomats.  Eventually the attacks will move onto another nuisance, such as sabotaging.

Make sure counter intelligence and interrogation is researched

Start building up your basic diplomats

I even build up scouts and spys, no one is allowed to know whats going in my town without my permisson.

Most of your problems in Illyriad will come in thieves, it is anonymous and if you are not active enough, untraceable, unless you catch and identify. Set your ward to 500 on thieves and stack some thief defense and/or move your goods to a city with the thief defense. Or if you do not have enough for whats being taken... spread it out... use it... give it to people who could use it. EDIT: Of course... for future incursions...  This is pretty public and the thief would stay away from this if they had any sense...

What this guy said...

The very best thing to stop folks "farming" you... (although if there is anyone in this game who believes they are in that status, we need to create a forum for them)... is to get seeking or destructive runes.

Bottom line is that you just need to speak out loudly and you WILL be heard.
