Wars and Stats
Another week goes by and Shadow Legion refuses to go down. Sesame Street and The Muppets took 17 cities each for a combined total of 34 conquests this past week. Dewil 94, vnfmsrhdrks, and Arrakos were their main targets as they took most of their cities.| War Stats | *The Puppets vs The Shadows |

A new war has been announce, Najistan versus Unknown. Najistan made the first move and attacked Unknown which gave them the advantage and were able to take four cities from Unknown. Both sides recognize the enemy's potential and are certain that this is going to be a hard war to win.

Reservoir Dogs seems to have decided to pick on the little guys rather than face "The Puppets." They have been taking cities in Ocean 35 and by the looks of it they have decided to change their zip code. So far they have targeted the Sons of Odin and their sister alliance Honour of Odin. It will become much easier for RD to take cities in 35 since those two alliances seem to be on their fall as some players have already left both alliances.

It looks like "The Dragonz," Tito, and Anonymous allied themselves to take out Templars Lethal Agenda, however non of this was confirmed. Either way TLA certainly took a beating from these guys which led them to their fall.
It looks like Reunited has decided to make a move against Renegades. So far they have taken four cities. According to .Sepow. they are not at war.
Only three conquests were made this week, two in favor of Legion and one against. The war against the Silver Knights has certainly slow down and Silver Knights still stand tall.

Interviews
Sesame StreetBlackbeards Crew had over 20 more conquest than you did this past week and are only 170K points away from you, are you worry they might take first place?
Blackbeards Crew has been very "successful" this past week, and I use the quotes because we define success differently. They have chosen to target small over rank 20 alliances pick on and get easy takes, while we have continued to fight top 12 alliances and have continued to take many cities from RD/SL and grow steadily even with BC supporting them. I think that says a lot more than 20 more conquests from small alliances.
You just had some successful operations against Dewil 94 and vnfmsrhdrks, why were you so successful?
We were successful because we are a successful team, we have been tried in war since the start of the server and know how to work well together against tough foes, those ops were the final blow to SL and they were delivered expertly.
Would you like to comment on your current status with BC?
Status with BC is the same as it has been a NAP is in place.
Are you okay with Najistan going after Unknown?
Naji told us beforehand they'd be going for unknown, and I have no problems with it, we are not allied to unknown and have made no promises to protect them. That war should be good for both alliances.

BigAl333 was one of the players you picked from THE BORG, why did he quit or what did he do to have all his cities taken
BigAl333 quit because of RL, it happens to the best of us and grepos worst enemy.
You conquered more cities than Sesame Street this past week and are really close in points, are you looking to take the number one spot?
We did conquer more cities than Sesame Street in the past week and we also conquered more cities than Sesame Street in the past 4 weeks actually. We never play for second place - ask any serious alliance that. It's also a marathon, not a sprint and we are fluctuating in our work rates, trying to find that sweet spot.
Lukjackm, former leader of Shadow Legion, recently joined you, was he invited or did he asked to join?
Lukjackm is an experienced player and has a lot of potential and skill. The way he joined - I'll leave it up to him, he can say if he wants to let people know how he joined.

Are you going after Unknown?
Yes.
Is Sesame Street okay with you taking more cities in their core Ocean?
Yes.
How were you able to move into Ocean 66 so quick?
Several factors, but was mainly due to our awesome skill.
Will you push Isitaos Gods of War out of 66?
No, we only have 68 cities there and they have 30, still plenty of food to be had there before something like that becomes an issue.
So far you have conquered four cities from Unknown, how would you rate their defense?
I would rate there defense as good, for the most part they all have/had 25 wall and tower, and they seem to have also had a good turn out for support.
Have they done any conquest attempts?
They did try some offence stuff on us today, lots of land nukes returning with 1, 2, or no transports left.
Yes.

Najistan has confirmed that you two are at war, how and why did this happen?
I can confirm that our two alliances are currently at war. This all came about when Naji started to attack our cities, they claimed "as a new source of BP" we of course attacked back - Naji claimed that they didn't want any of our cities and still wanted a peaceful outcome. Then one off our inactive cities was taken and from then it spiraled into a mass attack from their alliance. The attacks started when they Allied with sesame street.
So far they have conquered four of your cities, why where they able to do so?
Yes 4 cities have been taken , two were inactive players and never said they were been attacked -- so unfortunately it was bound to happen, the other 2 cities were been defended quite well but due to the players RL commitments they weren't on to tell us about any more attacks, so inactivity, and well organised attacks was our downfall there. But we have so far defended quite well, considering that naji have been i wouldn't say simmering for awhile, but with ocean 65 having no enemies. They had a considerable amount of offensive troops still in tact to engage us with.

Anything you would like to say about tetra response?
Yes, I agree with tetrahydrocarbon420, our defense has been very organised considering the over whelming attacks we have received, especially on the first day. We did try a tiny offensive not very organised and stopped when we saw the amount of support was been poured in. This has been our first time been attacked from a major alliance and so far we are fairing well. We are aware that it's going to be a tough challenge to make in roads but this is our time to shine or back to playing farmville.
And to the response to returning back with 1, 2 transports we have many reports of the same thing from their side.

You have been losing a lot of cities to Sesame Street and The Muppets, are you doing anything to prevent the loss of more cities?
Blackbeards starting to attack SS would help the most. We do our best to defend and if you been watching shared tab, that's not easiest task to do.

Legions has taken a lot of your cities but haven't been able to defeat you, why haven't they done so?
We stand tall against them and we never die as we always rise again.
Legion still attack but we stand defensive as such they were unsuccessful.

Why did you left Shadow Legion?
Shadow legion has been struggling for a long time, and even though I know SS do not have the class or skill actually take a city off a active player like myself, I can not be bothered with a possible speed 3 world on the way, to actually stay around like a insomniac any longer.

What Do You Think?
As some of my loyal readers might recall I did this section before. I ask different players what they think on a particular subject or topic.
Topic: The Unwritten Rule
The following quote comes from the PnP "w6aja, the noob that tried to conquer me" made by posiden1239.
"the unwritten rule where 100K+ players shouldn't attack sub-20k players because it is unfair even without morale."
Question: Were you aware of this unwritten rule? Do you agree or disagree with it? Why?
Its a game, grow a pair.
It's a dog eat dog world out there ain't my problem if your a chuwawa and I'm a German Shepard.
Never heard of this rule in my 4 years of Grepo. Its a wishful thinking.
I disagree. I have seen 10K players attacking 100K players, so why not the opposite? This is not a kindergarden it is a war game. Let me give you an example: in war, your 20-men unit spots an enemy soldiers (single) defending a strategic position. Would you wait for the enemy to grow in numbers and match yours or will you eliminate the threat immediately gaining your own strategic position?

I actually only asked this question about morale yesterday funny you ask me today.
I think if you want to play in a no morale world thats what you get i guess.
I agree with it when i joined this world it said no morale so i knew what i was up for as my first world was no morale in helorus.
I guess a no morale world is up to your alliance and team work to survive you cannot play the game alone like this.
but i guess you probably Could in a morale world as you have an advantage a small player(not that i have played one before)
I think it would suck playing a morale world all the complainers that arn't happy dont sign up to a no morale world i guess.

I am unaware of any unwritten rule, and to state that is unfair goes against the nature of the game.
After all this is a war game and cities can become very strategic to the progress forward or to holding a front-line. These strategies are often overlooked by noobs who are more interested in "how pretty their city is' rather than understanding that their city maybe very important to their alliance. In my three years of playing this game it is a rarity for a noob to step forward an offer their strategic city.
As an enemy it is our responsibility for our alliance to exploit the enemies weaknesses wherever possible. If they leave it easy for us to get behind their front-line to do this, all the better. After all it is always the victors who write history.
To ignore or under-estimate the effects of moral is to show the lack of understanding of the issues. Many good alliances in quite a number of worlds have exploited the moral issue through junior players to gain a strategic foothold into the enemies territory. Many experience players know how frustrating it can be, when they are consistency harassed by such a junior player on the same island. They know that they cannot retaliate because of the issue of moral and the severe loss in troops.
I personally adopt a policy early in the game to burn as many small cities on the island that I am on to stop this problem latter in the game.
