With the completion of our 4th wonder, IS has officially "won" world Lambda. And I would like to thank all of you for making this possible.
Within our own ranks I must start with our fallen warriors, my only regret being they arent here to see this. In no particular order: Ubuk, cyryl, guru warrior, jeffrey braithwaite, satla, ericwjp, rog1, klevy, ares154, diabola, jpizzle, greymon94, and micomona all stand out in my memory, I am sure there were others. We couldnt have done it without you. As Dr evil once did, I would pour some of my 40 on the floor as a salute to my fallen homies.
In our remaining ranks, ddd, sokm, loganos, monimon, randy, cyrus, dimi, and kwis all stand out as my oldest fightingest team members. Along the way we picked up many more, too many to name here, but everyone currently in our alliance deserves their spot as winner of Lambda.
And a big tip o the hat to all our allies, we couldnt have done it without you. First and foremost, a man no longer here, Eneid , old leader of Imperium was our first major ally. His crew of drakulle, grende and gladiator were always tight with me, we had some great join ops. Scotzman, twoclicks, sakuk you guys rock. Fenris you are my personal hero, your exploits on here made me laugh half a world away.
And to our enemies, who now number few but once were many, you made the game worthwhile. While I personally wouldnt call any of you friends (sorry thats part of how I play) many of you have grudgingly earned respect as persons that JUST WOULD NOT DIE! How many times did I have to organize ops to take half your cities, just to have you fill them back up with ghosts or inactives further away? I salute your tenaciousness.
Well now my mind wanders back to how it all started. Everything changed with purplehaze.
We started as GRE56 or some such nonsense, one minor wing of a massive MRA that everyone just really hated. Sokm and ddd rose to number one quickly in 056 and I joined on. We defeated all competition in our ocean and ruled it easily, the only alliance I remember defeating was atlanteans, and there was another. But after we ruled 056 we needed to expand out of it. To the north was SWAT who was getting hammered by the marines. We joined in and helped the marines finish off SWAT, gaining a foothold into 055. The marines were predicted by everyone to win this world with ease. I talked with eneid, ruler of imperium who had 046 in hand and secured an alliance to the west so we could concentrate north. We ended our association with the MRA we were part of and became Infectious state.
Looking for action, sokm boldly took an inactives city off the marines, and that was it, the war was on! They declared on us, sokm asked me to organize an operation against them as they attacked him. I chose purplehaze, one of their larger members with many cities on the front line near us. Now I wont toot my own horn here or go into detail of how I do my ops, but I will say I am very experienced in how to make these things work. We targeted 8 of purplehazes cities and shocked the world when we actually took 4. Back then that was much bigger than it sounds now. The marines were stunned. They took us seriously and their biggest player, kurb, and friends came after me with a vengeance, throwing everything they had at one of my cities. Big mistake, it failed, they lost tons.
After that was just repeats. We did op after succesful op, and defeated their return attacks again and again. I made friends with justagame, a lone holdout north of the marines who defied them also, and he shared some defensive tactics with me. Justagame gained friends and formed savage warriors. I contacted social gamers club, the number 2 alliance to get them to join us, but they declined. Discouraged, marine leaders started quitting and eventually the marines fell apart and we ate up their cities. Some of the refugees fled into savage warriors and social gamers club who became killer instinct. Predictably these refugees stirred up those alliances against us and they attacked. So it was KI and SW against us, but the same formulas that beat the marines took out first SW and beat back KI who changed to knights of freedom and tried to rally the rest of the world against us, getting mainly order of chaos to join in. But imperium allied their western neighbor, hekate warriors who became imperium of hekate and they took care of ooc and ki on the west while we hit them on the east. They were pushed back out of the core oceans, and knights of freedom fell apart. then the wonder race began.
Along the way their were some side battles I wasnt involved with. To the south hades tried to bite us in the butt, but fell apart at our first major op against them. To the southeast we did the same with a similar alliance whose name I forget. To the east Juggernaut waged war with apollo and myriad and we had a hand in those outcomes, poor apollo was caught in the middle and didnt fare too well.
And that about sums it up. Im sure I left a lot out, that is just the history from my personal viewpoint. Thank you all for your parts in quite an entertaining world and story.
