Belgadeth,

Dunccan may be talking a bit of trash, and you may even have a point with Eloire, but please don't go there with the hypocrisy lecture. Dunccan and I attacked you together, yes. We did so, incidentally, in your city with some of your city mates near at hand, and surrounded by a forest of staves. Nonetheless, you're correct that you were alone (for once) at the time.

Despite your apparent hatred of hypocrisy, you fail to point out that this was shortly after you, Koenen, and Caelred were teaming me (and later August and me) and still later Alcarindel in Springdale. If this was a one time event, his threats might be very over the top. However, you (Parrius) have made it standard practice to relentlessly team at every opportunity, even to the point of standing in teams outside stockrooms to stop people like me who can't put up any rits in stocks from even having a

chance to make it a fair-ish 3 on 1 fight where I can defend myself.

We aren't perfect people who never team either, and our cities are at war. While we didn't start the hostilities, we did start the actual marching, so you're certainly entitled to use this an excuse to team people silly. As an aside, a member of your barony, who actually has some sense and perspective has shared with me that he thinks you guys have gone too far using the war as pretext to team in non-warfare situations. Of late you have the advantage in numbers, and you have cleared Springdale of safe

locations for people to congregrate and defend themselves. Again, good for you. As I stated to both you and Caelred today, however, you guys have done this relentlessly to citizens young and old, and I, for one, am going to fight fire with fire when I actually have someone who can help me even the odds. So, team away, but by all means spare me the hypocrisy lectures. I feel far less sick to my stomach after a couple of grimleaf that I feel right now listening to your hypocrisy talk after being rep

eatedly teamed by you and your citymates.
