Time has come :) Aisha gave permission for our people to attack
Now that the armies they have in Jesters core are weak compared to our armies...

Well, now we shall see did we wait too long, or should we have waited a bit more?
Do you guys have people back in core farming for large armies (Aloy or WarofDoom that we did not see in battles yet) or if not, you're gonna get run over by our armies pretty easily. Only time will tell.

Let the games begin!

Hey don't blame it on me, it was Aisha's idea to wait it out till you guys fight so we attack at the best time for us. And the bridge city you can thank to Minamoto for spending 2-3 rl days trying to cross over, that pissed us off so we did the same. And of course thanx to soccer for building a city so close to river even thought he clearly knew about the issue, but like he said before Jesters are just way too strong so they don't care. I did not think you guys would fall so quickly either.

I'm not complaining, bud. I've never and will never river jump, but I do wall jump, to me it's more a tactic than a bug, I just don't choose to river via merging as it takes too much effort, attacking a city across a river is easy, just don't find to many nubs like that.

I think I will change my name to Fail next era. I can't do an era without a monster fail in my gameplay. 

Not sure if you can river merge on this map. Use to happen all the time which made having fast good blockers more important. You did the right thing, DS

I like that 

Everything....including guides you can read

That is damn close. 

I almost never post on these things, but I feel it is necessary to give Collective a kind word of encouragement. 
--------
Dominion my friend, numbers do not predict who will be the victor or who will be the vanquished.
For strength, timing and battle are unpredictable.
And are you so sure the numbers are against you?
I see 4 of the top armies are Collective.

Most Powerful Armies	Most Powerful Cities
One Mr. Fred The Terrorist Uruk Hai Mr. Scimitar Warbird Warg Riders Ms. Aisha II Dark Spawn Elite Mr. Dominion Terrible Mr. Grozni Aloysian Swarm III Sir Aloysius LXIV

But alas, I do know the feeling of..
something perhaps.. that we feel in a war..
It is a feeling of being able to achieve victory but not being able to catch it.
And surely, it is the closeness of that victory that makes it feel so far away.

Can I tell you of the first era where the kingdom i was in won. And I mean won by killing 90% of all other players?  Ok thanks.
Well for the last 2 weeks of that era, I swear to you there were only about 10 posts in the Kingdom forum. Why is this important?
Because we as a team had gotten to the point where words were no longer neccessary.
I knew my brothers and sister playing style, courage and I knew without a doubt that any one of them would sacrifice their whole main army and every one of their cities for me. And I the same.

I began to notice that in a way now, even my enemies are like those brothers and that sister. I have only to look at where your armies are going and what you are doing to know that you do not have a solid plan. Please no disrespect, but even a bad plan is far better than no plan.
For Collective to win, there will have to be sacrifices, but it can be done.
Never lose hope until teamwork has been completely exhausted.

For a man will run away rather than die when he stands alone, but a man will gladly die for his brother if he stands with me.

As a new player I would like to ask why do you never post on these things?
Is there a reason why people don't communicate, and express welcome to new players on forums, so we can discuss things and get a feeling this game is less dead than it is. We as a kingdom encourage chatting on forums, and even giving out plans or information on forums, if that would help the game, to get people to start talking. We're on Mantrax now, and for some reason the thread for that world was never created and we're not making it, most likely there will never be a thread for that world. Why is that? Some would say people stopped giving a heck about the game? Why do you still all play it? I do not understand.

As for having no plan, I must say I do not understand why you would say that as well? What part of era did we show as to not having a plan of what we're doing? You're saying there are no posts on those forums for when you won, its because you all work well together. But this group of people in this kingdom are mostly new players with few vets, and we are learning about the game. Obviously we would make mistakes, but to say we have no plan is just plain disrespectful. Considering leaders are writing walls of text on our forums forming plans and making decisions that are keeping us alive so far.

What my friend was talking about, regarding numbers game:

Kingdoms in Fantasia
	Mad and Dangerous	13	Sir Aloysius LXIV	149
	The Collective	10	Ms. Aisha II	100
	Pariahs of Fantasia	5	Mr. Bran	88

It means that 10 of us have to fight 18 of you, I do not see how you do not see that we are heavily outnumbered, and even if our strong armies are on top of HoH, which I was told does not mean much, and people don't really look at HoT much. It just means when one of our top armies hits one of the enemy armies, we have to keep in mind that four or five more will come. That is what means to be outnumbered.

Regarding having no plans, you must mean the north. That is again because we just do not have enough people. We had to put Pegasus up north against all you guys, just now we are sending few more to help him, and your army that got to our core was able to cause some damage only because we did not have anyone to go that way, we have to cover way too many places. What did you actually do, take 2-3 cities, when in reality you had over a day to run around our core, you only did very little damage, why? Because of the locusts and our troops rushing in to defend. That is not teamwork?

Why did we manage to stop Mental Alchemist that had 60k Archmages when our armies were not that strong? Because as soon as we hit one of their armies we get mages to do army of the dead, almost after every hit. That is not teamwork? That is not having plans?

You guys are trying to move from different areas, one army going above the mountain, the other on the south passage, and we sent one person to defend up north, the other one down south, while third army covers back in case some of them pass, like one army did till Leila managed to smack it. That is not teamwork, that is having no plans this era?




Edit:
To explain: Reason why I say HoH armies mean nothing is because at this moment Mental Alchemist might have most powerful army on the map, and he's not on HoH at all...

Well let me sum the era for you quickly
Kingdoms and members:
Collective - 10 members
Jesters - 16 members
MaD - 10 members
Pariahs - 2 members

That was the start.
So from there, wars started and diplomatic relations started.
We as a kingdom have a policy to fight all, no alliances.

So Collective wars Jesters 10 vs 16
While MaD NAPs 2 member kingdom because they don't want to kill such a small kingdom. Then MaD becomes 13 members and Pariahs become 5 members.

Then in middle of Collective Vs Jesters war you jump in to attack.
Jesters ask us for CF, we refuse. We retreat for a bit to regroup, and we hoped for a war that would last longer, that would give more trouble to Mad And Par but they won way too fast.

Then we moved in with much stronger armies, and we would destroy all your south armies if Mental Alchemist did not have such a large AMs army. That caused us to have to move back slightly, but still we have strong armies to bounce his army, so we're not giving up. So to correct you, you reached this current situation but NAPing the person you could have war-ed. Still we would do everything the same, its much better to win the era with no allies or a single person like last era on Nirvana, and win it by killing everyone on the map. Indeed we are new, that was I think my third era, so you are indeed fighting a kingdom full of new players.

I am greedy?
Could you please explain how? What move I did this era labelled me greedy?

We are still here...

these same issues affect all of us. we arent a 6 member kd in effect since one guy is so new that he needs to learn more than help with fighting. other 2 are inactive or just landed. so we are basically a 3 member kd. MAD i cant speak for them but they spent most the era farming and even now arent having a great impact in the war due to their location and seem to have only a few fighters

WALLS OF TEXT... MY EYES...

never fear, blings here to feck things all up.

you cant have negative intelligence shyers!

Hmmm, so when you get out of the pool on a cold day your pee pee is just 0 then? It doesn't indent and crawl back up inside with your Undecended testicals? 

my female has all my testicles

To comment on what someone said earlier about why people don't do this whole stream of conciousness onto forum bit, probably because a lot of the people who tend to play quit caring or don't like it to begin with.

Pegaz,
Are you saying you are not greedy?

You pawned a neutral player and took his 5 cities a day or two after he got out of protection.
You let me get into your kingdom's core instead of turning your main army back to stop me.
And you keep taking a mine of mine that has no strategic value.

I encourage people to write on forums, to discuss the era, in good friendly way. If you're gonna argue and troll each other on forums, showing no respect to one another, then I will not have it. Pegaz, that was your last post on forums regarding that matter. We have a rule on our forums which clearly states there will be no arguments on forums. Discussion closed.

someone just got bitch slapped.
for reference... forums were designed to be trolled. If you want a princess party, this forum aint the place for it.
Now.... are all MAD bottom feeders, because Pariahs look willing to bend if MAD will send

So, in a total wargame, at the top level, where blood guts and glory litter the battle field in the name of total victory, we all holding hands now singing happy camp songs ???

I think I can win. Starting late era with no chance, I'll still give it a fight for what its worth... even if its only a week so be it... all in the spirit of the game. someone comes along bigger and badder than me, so be it.

As to where I went, I moved from the UK to the states, spent a year going around the country before finally settling in Vegas.
