you of all people this refers to. you and most of these jokers couldn't last in a stable village for the longest time. till someone opens their doors to you in what i can only consider as pity.
so yes. unless you were with a village from day one, you were just leachers who deserve no credit.
I'm not really understanding you here. Falacrine was pretty much successful, maybe not completely, but it went along pretty smoothly for a while. It's not like we were Sodom or some stuff, just some peaceful village. Before I died I had an iron, copper, and tin mine, a couple of allies, and some pretty nice resources. The village was up and running for quite some time.
Also, I will admit I didn't do loving stuff at Emberwood. I mined a bit, was pretty inactive and sat around. But now you're just spraying bullstuff everywhere.
