BREAKING NEWS
LOWKEY'S BETRAYAL!
The one story that has attracted much interest from the external forums here, is the situation over in Check Mate with player LoWKey, or as he is known in game, Stealing your city. What happened as I understand, is that Lowkey did not like something the leader of Check Mate, "Move", was planning to do. As he was a leader in Check Mate, he knows most of their future plans. Obviously out of respect, he has not published these future plans publically, however some people consider what he DID post to be too much, on the other hand, he has not revealed what others could never find out. Because this is a rather public case, I have interviewed Move and Lowkey, plus a few anonymous players from Check Mate, about their relations with Lowkey. Here are some of the responses:
He's a good friend, got to know him on this world as the previous world I played was Rhetymnos and before that Omicron, and he played on neither of the two. He is a very gifted tactician, and I admire that as well as a skillfull attacker. I truly am sorry this situation got out of hand, but I'm even more sorry that he is no longer part of this alliance. Well hey, what can I say. S*** happens.
-----------------
Well me and S (which i will call him as a cba for the whole name
) is a very good mate of mine, taught me near enough everything i know in grepolis today and also how to lead and co lead alliances which i have done with him. S can easily lead alliance to greatness or crush existing ones and a very good player in my opinion. I think the whole situation is blown out a little bit and that maybe both S and Move should have listened more to each other, i see the point that we dont want anymore pacts but S and 44 is a key part to our alliance as any single layer should be, a founder should value the alliance and the players higher than himself. Im loyal to friends and my alliance and i shall leave you at a cliffhanger -----------------
From what I have seenStealing your city is a great player for sure and from looking through the forums externally and internally a nice guy
I believe he's played with the group before so nothing knew to the team unlike me and even was founder when he demoted himself and decided to leave. A very experienced player who is a good asset to the team to cut it short. The small situation crises In my opinion I believe is what it is. No way we can change his decisions because he feels that way and some or most would agree ;p but I do not and even though demoting himself and leaving can be seen as negative it is a personal choice if that's what he wanted its fine. Not something I would do from a sort situation without much consent but what I do not believe was right is including others and making the situation out there especially through PM and external posting was a good move because it wasn't. Not knowing SYC that well it changed my opinion on him not necessarily disliking him because I know he's a nice guy and its only a game but the idea that he jumps to conclusions and is impatient because this matter should have been addressed much more with the council team because they are there for a reason remember
As you can deduce, most members had friendships with him, but remain loyal to Check Mate, and loyal to Move. I do not wish to talk about what I don't know about, and in terms of this I know very little about this whole scenario apart from it ended with Lowkey leaving Check Mate and joining an alliance in o44. Should these alliances clash in the future, a very interesting war may take place. Will he want to move his new alliance into o55? For now, follow the interesting debates regarding this news on the external forums to keep updated until next weeks issue! Make sure to follow what is being widely regarded as the biggest story of the world already!!
SPECIAL INTERVIEWS
-MOVE-
Do you know why Stealing your city left your alliance?
Yes, because he wanted to force through his ways and obviously forgot about his position in the alliance.
Free speech, open to suggestions and discussions, but ultimatums the way he did it is immature.
Do you wish to comment on this matter, or defend what you said that he published on the External Forums?
I stand for everything I said, although some of my statements should have been forumlated differently and clearer.
Is there anything you would like to say to him right now?
No I have no interest of publishing any chats or enter any propaganda war against him. I think what he did was extremely immature, both what he published on the externals and what he sent to his former teammates after leaving.
I have more than enough quotes and statements, but ruining his own name and reputation is something he can handle all by himself.
He'll do his game, we'll play ours. I just hope he can't do too much harm to his new alliance which seems like a decent crew.
-LOWKEY-
Can you tell us why you decided to leave Check Mate in a short summary?
Why I left checkmate is simple. Kris can't see what i see, and doesn't want to listen to me. My job in CM was as a strategist. It was my job to make sure we have a good offense, and defense where it is needed. I can't do my job then no sense staying. This game is to be fun not an argument.
Posting some of your private conversations publically made some people comment skeptically. Is there anything you would like to say to these people?
They were posted for a reason as I stated when I posted them. I can't get to much into this without letting out info that shouldn't be out. I will just say this is why i left CM, and it did trigger the response it was supposed to that should just make CM stronger.
Finally, is there something you want to say to Move about the case?
For Kris: Your skipping steps, and making bad moves. You need to study the map, and other alliances pacts more. No matter how good your offense is it will never be good enough if you forget to protect your borders where they need protected.
WAR STATISTICS
CHECK MATE 37-0 ACTIVE ELITE (including academy)
BLACK LEGION 25-4 JUGGERNAUTS & THE ELDERS
So far Check Mate have battered quite literally everyone they have faced, and there was a lot of hype surrounding Active Elite not long ago, and this week the 55 based alliance has battered the Active Elite academy and took a couple of cities off of the main alliance, whilst losing non!
The 54 battle is still on going, with Black Legion taking more cities by the day, whilst the response is next to non. Also, The Rear Admiral has left Juggernauts, and as he was the only player to take cities off of Black Legion, you would predict an end to the contest in this war in the coming spring weeks!
Next week I will add many more wars. I intended to do it this week, however I ran out of time as I was out all day Saturday. It will be set out in oceans, so look forward to it!

Ocean Analysis
Ocean 55
This ocean is still being fought over, although most will argue that Check Mate have it covered. In the North West, Check Mate have their strongest presence, in South East, Active Elite and Lost Souls have fairly equal domination.
The frontline here is the center, in a diagonal line, from South West to North East. If Active Elite and Lost Souls team up (or are teamed up) they could give Check Mate something to think about!
Ocean 54
All action here is close to the core of the world. In north east 54, there are no cities from any of the top 3 alliances! Wargasm have the south border in cities, then just north, Juggernauts and Black Legion are mixed, fighting for a foothold. The winner here will have a very strong presence in 54, and the rest should be very easy to take care of!
There is no clear frontline here, and it's much more of a free-for-all than 55 here!
Ocean 44
44 is the same as 54, with all action close to the core instead of the outer borders. BD Bellum se ipsum alet and Guardians of Hades are mixed in the south east corner. Grim Reapers have a small presence just east of these 2 alliances. Also, Black Legion have a couple of cities north of them. They could get cornered in, if they do not act quickly, with Friggin Spiders and Check Mate approaching from the south!
Ocean 45
45 is the only 'balanced' ocean, with the top 3 alliances spread across the ocean. Friggin Spiders have their core in the north east, Lost Souls in the east, and Potential Death with a very large amount of unchallenged cities in the south west.
Again no real frontline here, although you could draw a west to east front line seperating Friggin Spiders in the north from Lost Souls in the south (of the front line).
That's all from me this week! As always, please leave feedback, I do work very hard on this
