I was that miner, and really enjoyed this. Kudos back Karst

We do our best, but real life is ruthless. Few months ago when I was juat at home our activity was over 30 days monthly, at some point DHC was the most active faction on the server. Now when I study our activity oscillates around 3 days. It's not exclusively our problem, many factions experience shifts in activity level depending on real life's needs, not much we can do about it except waiting for more free time for gaming.
As for pacifism, it's not that simple. It isn't an art to play DHC by "arrgh, death to IMG/BMM/<someone else>"
While it's obviously true some of factions are our rivals we decided to currently take more secret path of roleplaying out our rivalry. Ore thieves found inside our fields will be dealt with, but looking for a fight without reason is a no go at the moment.
I wanted to organise skirmish with USI in Bretonia or Kusari this weekend though, to portray that more open warlike part of Daumann roleplay in-game, but again, real life made it impossible. We'll try our luck the next week.
In the meantime DHC tries to be more visible in RP forum sections to compensate lowered in-game activity in that great task of contributing to the server.
