War Games. Working w/what you got. No fun sucks. There will be fire.
Things you write in a guild/alliance after a weekend of outside Drama Llamas, Game Trolls, & Burn Parties.
As a player you decide what kind of an experience you hope to have. Something brought you to this game, what was it? If you're a serious war gamer intent on kingdom domination, this may just be a stepping stone for might growth. I landed to get points for another game, but stayed because I liked the people & this guild.
What is your commitment level? From the current drama we encountered, some people breathe, eat, sleep this game to a level of seriousness that is a fun suck. I may pop on a lot, but it's on a device I carry 24/7. Real life comes first. This is a past time. Activity level & might have reqs in some guilds, this one does not. So, play when you can, we're always glad to see you when you log on.
Most war games wind up in some huge kingdom wide battle. Big guilds, small guilds - everyone gets burned repeatedly. Even the biggest bad ass in a kingdom eventually meets a bigger bad ass & gets burnt. Get too big, bully enough people, they message game celebs & someone ports in & becomes hero of a kingdom on a livestream. Fans made. Accolades. Yay!
So what about us? We do not play well with outside dramas or guild bullies. War games take a twisted sense of humor & madness. If you grow in a more organic fashion like we do, you play a bit more outside the box. You shield, defend, attack when you can, and make em burn res, troops, speedups, ports, tempers, and cash. Victory isn't always determined by high stats. You can make an alt and kill lots of troops to raise kills. So, I don't take much stock in player numbers.
War games are more than just troop building and raids. In a real war, a company or unit is only as strong as its members. We come under fire, we watch our castles burn, our armies die, but it's what we do afterwards that counts.
We may curse/laugh, but we dust each other off & keep growing. We share a few laughs, check-in on each others days/nights. It becomes a gaming family if your lucky. Some of us may be going through some very heavy things. In fact, some players have come and gone because U-U was what they needed at a difficult moment, but were able to regroup and return to RL things. So thank you to the members in here who may have helped without knowing.
If you're here, you're here for the people, and to pretend to be a War Lord of War Goddess. You have a life outside this game & aren't spending it in here except during down times, pass some time, or shoot the breezes. Game devs provide the game field, you create the fun. We're a mad house who does things differently & occasionally makes friends on the map who don't mind our antics.
And all who come for us...well, we'll surely give them hell in what ever brand we can serve it until we're built to roll out massive armies to dance with theirs.
You are all an amazing lot. As long as you keep plugging away and playing, so too will I. It is an honor to play alongside you in this mobile war zone. I can't imagine a better group to play with.
