The forum was a sea of despair and frustration. Messages flooded in, each one more grim than the last.
"How many brothers from Feather Village died?"
"All of them! There were too many thieves, we didn't stand a chance!"
Another voice chimed in, filled with anger:
"Our Blackrock Village players were on the flank. The thieves hit us hard; we're wiped out too! The death penalty is brutal. We lost everything!"
One post captured the helplessness many felt:
"I don't even know where I am anymore. I don't know who I am, and I sure as hell don't know which thief killed me!"
Someone else vented their frustration:
"A thief hit me with an arrow from the shadows. Why won't they fight head-on like real warriors?!"
"Fight them head-on? Are you crazy? I heard there are several extraordinary thieves in their ranks. I got one-shotted by one of them."
The tone turned accusatory.
