We had been working on the transfer of Mechin for a week now (just no one was around at same time for direct transfer), so we finally just attacked. What Chris P Bacon did was 10 minutes before the battle was to commence (or even after it transferred as I I know you cant sell ina fief under atatck, may not be able to buy either, either way it had all the S&D 15 minutes before the battle started when we last checked) with an obvious big red attack on Mechin took all the S&D without asking if he could, trying to nab it before the transfer completed or just after it transferred. The timing was a little too obvious that he was trying to grab the S&D before the village switched hands.
No trade agreement allows for that kind of abuse as all the S&D built up in the 24 hour window before the attack (it was close to 0 when I initiated my attack on mechin) we had planned on buying disappeared at the time of the battle. It was a cheap attempt at taking our S&D hoping that some old trade agreement would cover taking it in front of our eyes just as it was being transferred.
I'm sorry but he is not going to get away with stealing 800 S&D like that. With our distance bonuses its like stealing 80,000 gold from us. You can talk to us on teamspeak tonight if you want, but what Chris P Bacon tried to pull was pretty cheap considering his timing and should have been pretty obvious he needed to talk to us with it being under attack for 24 hours when he did this.
P.S. had you talked to Remnant about another trade run to Mechin they could have told you about the transfer so you would know not to do another one. Not even sure what kind of agreement you had with them, would be glad if a remnant shared that. But the heart of the matter was it was taken as the fief was finally being trasnferred after the 24 hour buildup to the attack either 10 minutes or less before or even after the attack finished. We have plenty of open trade fiefs, but mechin is not one of them.
