  • Now.



Interviews

We have the following Interviews:

Exit Strategy, Founder of *CENSORED*

Why did you leave Impervious HellHounds

Exit Strategy said:
Hell hounds had at the time a combined 54 leaders every issue had a vote and resembled the us congress .. Absolutely nothing got done and everyone had an opinion. We believe that to make an alliance work it should have one Voice and one goal. So it was not for us.

Why did you name your alliance *CENSORED*?

Exit Strategy said:
It was our alliance name in us27. Mods changed our original name so we went to the name Censored

What are your goals for this world?

Exit Strategy said:
Our goals are to kill kill kill !! [Insert curse word] a crown !! We call them Tiaras !!

You usually play on the US server. Why did you decided to join the EN server?

Exit Strategy said:
The speed was what we wanted.

What's your favorite candy?

Exit Strategy said:
If you don't like Hot tamales then [insert curse word] you !!

That's Exit Strategy's Interview!

Now we have Fate of Anubis!

Fate of Anubis, Leader of Fury

What made you want to join this world?

Fate of Anubis said:
Well. I was cut short in Olynthus, had too many RL issues to deal with the game. SO i handed my account out. After a few months i felt like i had to come back to show what i can do. Taras came out, perfect world settings. Joined in the second day seeing a great challenge ahead, envenom, tsunami and countless other high quality alliances, what best to do, join the underdog and beat them to completing all the world wonders!

What are your goals for this world?

Fate of Anubis said:
Funny you should ask. To prove Envenom can be beaten.

Do you think this alliance will reach world wonders?

Fate of Anubis said:
Yes. We have the foundations for victory, time is the only factor.

What is your favorite candy?

Fate of Anubis said:
Chaos Theory Popsicle

Nice interview, Fate of Anubis! Now....we have mountfordave!

Mountfordave, member of Dark Judgement

What made you decided to join this world?

Mountfordave said:
Long established friendship with all the Dark Alliance team

What are your goals for the alliances?
Do you think your alliance will reach world wonders?


Mountfordave said:
Yes we always do, we did in Lindos, we have the same team

What previous experience do you have?

Mountfordave said:
Lindos, Troy, Sinope, Pandosia, Mocholos, Eubea & Kos

Won WW in Lindos & Kos

What's your favorite candy?

Mountfordave said:
Candy????????????????????????????????? are you serious? you must be a yank?....

Thanks Mountfordave! Now we have ......*drumroll please!* Bond 007 with the last interview!

Bond 007, Founder of Dark Infinity

What made you want to join this world?

Bond 007 said:
Several reasons. My main world Mochlos was dying out, plus it had good settings.

Do you think your alliance will reach World Wonders, or will you quit right before?

Bond 007 said:
Difficult to say. The world has just opened, and major changes are happening all the time... top alliances disappearing, alliances merging into each other, etc. Can't say for sure. What I can say is that we probably won't even try for Wonders, as a) we won't stand any chance, and b) its boring. Our team would continue fighting if we are still around at that time.

What are your thoughts on both gold trading and instant buy?

Bond 007 said:
Only heavy gold users will benefit from them. Normal players MIGHT have some advantage by trading gold for resources, but they won't be spending too much.

Most of Inno's income from this game probably comes from gold users, who get advisors every month and the occasional halving construction time. With Instant buy, it has made it more expensive for them.

In short:
Heavy golders = even bigger advantage
normal gold users = lesser advantage than before
non-gold users = sucks for them

Do you think Taras will reach world wonders?

Bond 007 said:
Of course it will. And it will be even more chaotic than Rhammus. Core alliances will struggle IMO, winners will probably a big alliance who builds their wonders on the rim (like Equilibrium on Rhammus). Thats the thing which seems to be happening these days unfortunately.

What is your favorite candy?

Bond 007 said:
Umm, what?

Probably M&M's, I like Skittles as well though.

I looove it when people say we won lindos, in fact no one ever won it, no one actually built 7 wonders out of 7. The only people that stayed in lindos till WW end, are the noobs on the rim that never had any impact on the world, they were just the left overs of the original players who left after the world died.

:D No one won Lindos? Who ever ended up with 6 of the 7 WW's before it closed I think was way ahead. Naturally it died when there was no hope left for the rest.
