Yeah I have to agree with you nakshtra. Im in world 8 and have had dealings with FoM.
First off, it was said about attacking adventurers is ok by kittenkicker in this thread. We had one soldier duel one of their better equipped, high dueling level adventurers. Our town frowns upon dueling workers and adventurers as a whole UNLESS they have the dueling level and equipment to be a dueler in sheeps clothing. Several FoM towns came to our town and proceeded to KO our workers and adventurers while sending nasty messages the whole time to our players about why they are being dueled. A simple message stating that "You are being dueled because person X dueled one of our workers or adventurers" would be a perfectly fine message to send. Not these guys, these messages were down right rude and obnoxious.
We had one dueler hit a worker of theirs. Once we found out about it, a message was sent to the specific dueler in question about our stance on dueling workers and adventurers. We still had FoM come to town and duel our workers for over a week. I get the retaliation and am fine with it, but why not go after the dueler first. As they were never attacked once. Plus a week long retalliation, when we try to make sure our duelers/soldiers dont hit workers and adventurers in the first place. They give the excuses that some mistakes will happen, yet that ONLY applies to them and not everyone else in their minds.
Another thing they have is workers and adventurers in sheeps clothing. Meaning they are pure dueling stats. Yet if you hit them, they still scream bloody murder. if they win a duel, you are messaged by half of FoM calling you names and rediculing you for losing a duel to a worker.
They always throw out the word "ethical" yet they dont believe in true ethics. If they attack a worker, its a mistake. If you attack a worker, you are unethical. Double standards FTW!!!!
Its just a way to BE A BULLY while claiming the opposite. Hypocrisy is not a word in their dictionary, unless they want to use it on you, then its page 1.
