Well, (if you're a member of UDie on SS5 and reading this, PLEASE go ahead and tell all former members of Jaq-One I said this) s31 had quite a few idiosyncratic players who kept claiming Lv. 10 NPCs as their own. One guy even started complaining to me when one of my alliance members farmed a Lv. 5 NPC on one day (ONE LEVEL FIVE NPC "BELONGING" TO A GUY WHO PLAYS 24/7... and he gets crazy?!). He nearly caused a crisis point when THE HOST told him he could leave to hit a SISTER ALLIANCE.

My universal response:
Fine, it is your NPC.
But I control it. And it's well defended.
Whatcha gonna do now, fool?

This is Evony, not FarmVille. I can hurt you in any way I choose to be most painful and demeaning as long as it satisfies the ToA.
