Welcome to the third edition of our World 52 Blog. There’s a good amount to cover this week, but our main point of discussion will be the departure of Purple Predator from TW and the downfall of : P. Over the last week, many more players nobled, and there have been a total of 285 ennoblements so far on this world. The top tribes have shuffled around a bit, and we have a totally new top 10 players. I’m sure that you get you’re all busy, so let’s get you caught up on all the recent events!

In mid-September, roughly 2 weeks before the world started, Purple Predator announced that he would be leading a premade in his final world of Tribal Wars. Predators rose to power fast. Within a month they had achieved the number one rank in both points and opponents defeated. On the topic of how long : P would be here:
Beyond several months is a possibility but that really will depend on how the world shapes. It has yet to get interesting.
-Purple Predator
Predators were on top of the world, literally. Then everything fell apart. Sneggy and Kingsam were nobled and Purple Predator got banned. Without their leader and two best players, : P was in pieces. No one stepped up to take over leadership, and so : P came to an end.
An comments from inside : P would be much appreciated.
Its a Small World…
1. Afjlas
This tribe has nobled the most villages in the world so far, befitting of the number one tribe. They have also lost some villages, leading to a still impressive 27-4 nobling record. They will face their first true test this week in the form of World 53 opening. How many of them will leave to play 53, and will they retain the number 1 rank next week?
2. Tactic
These guys have been very quiet externally so far, while nobling their way into the number 2 rank. They are a wee bit too close, but have plenty of room to spread out. Wala20 recently nobled out the formerly number 1 player – Dvergr. As a tribe Tactic has posted a 15-0 nobling record.
3. -RIP-
Wll this World 52 family tribe does not seem to be loved by everyone. As a tribe they have amassed an 8-2 nobling record, and the number 1 ODD rank. 5 of their 8 conquers have been barbarian villages.
4. Dalek
This “teaching tribe” has this week made its first appearance in the top 5. They have a very low OD rank for a top tribe, only ranked 18. These guys have been quiet and have a 4-1 nobling record thus far.
5. NiNi
Kustard King’s prediction for most promising tribe (see interview below). MTAR leads these guys so they should do well. They have statistically the best nobling record so far, at 20-0. Last week, they showed their ability to defend as two players tried to cotrain Bcardi and neither had any troops return home. Rumor has it that it was Mattcurr and RaoulDuke, two big names from afjlas.

1-On-1 With Kustard King

Me: So Kustard King, why don’t you explain to the readers who you are?
Kustard King: My name is Kustardus Retardicus Kingius, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.
Me: Well, you are known as the biggest spammer and most feared pirate in all of Tw. Thoughts and comments?
Kustard King: Spammer is such an ugly word. I prefer to refer to myself as an ‘enlightened troller’. I enjoy myself, this is true. I seek attention, perhaps, and the sheer volume of posts I have made over the past few years might land me the title of ‘spammer’… But really, I’ve never thought of myself as one. And I’m not really a pirate – Though I do love plundering booty.
Me: So what do you plan on doing now that the Caek has gone stale?
Kustard King: Heh. Love the pun. Well, I’m going to be quitting W52. I have a premade lined up for W54 (Or 55, if 54 has those god awful churchahoozits), so in the interim I will be playing World 53 solo. I don’t plan on making a tribe there, as I know I won’t be able to stick around long term – I hate getting peoples hopes up to ultimately leave them in the dirt. This will be an interesting change of pace for me, as I’ve lead a tribe in every world I’ve played. I tend to put my 100% into leading, so I’ve always neglected my villages. I’m hoping World 53 will be a test of my combat skills.
Me: So will your upcoming W54/55 Premade be more serious than most of your tribes usually are, or will it be the same fun-loving Kusteh? Do you have any plans as of yet? Directions, time joining, etc…
Kustard King: This may come as a shock to some of the readers, but I’ve always tried to lead a serious tribe… Well, OK, maybe not W24 Squeak (I was due to quit, so I was co-leading for the lulz), but otherwise I’ve always tried to keep some degree of seriousness. Unfortunately, a lot of others didn’t see it that way, which meant that in recent worlds a lot of players left for new worlds and didn’t give it their 100% in my tribe. I’m hoping to advertise LOVE (W54/55 premade) as a more serious tribe, and to recruit based on players who I believe to be in it to play to the end. It will still be as fun as you’re expecting, but I’m hoping the players I recruit will take it seriously this time.
Me: So, do you think it will be difficult to balance your jobs as Duke of LOVE and being the honorary admin of nothingness?
Kustard King: My role as Honorary Admin of Nothingness is a simple one. As the name suggests, I am the Admin of Nothingness. I oversee Nothingness, in all its lack of glory. As a result, the people of nothingness pay homage to me. They bring me daily tributes of glue and razor blades. I tend to combine the two to make a nutritious breakfast. I can safely say that my new diet has helped me lose a bit of weight. It hasn’t done wonders for my digestive track, but you know what they say – No pain, no gain.
Me: Well, congratulations on the weight loss Kusteh. So, your tribe hosted the creation of one of the most “interesting” guides ever, Irontusk’s Guide to TW mechanics. What do you have to say about his work?
Kustard King: His guides were absolutely amazing. As far as educational content goes, you’d probably have to read it and then translate it into normal terms, but otherwise they’re the best I’ve ever seen. I’ve actually gone and read over them 4 or 5 times, and shown non-TW friends, simply because they were some of the funniest things I’ve read in a long time and were easy to read.
I’m very grateful for him having made the guides for us, and I’m still silently clinging onto the hope that he makes more of a similar nature in the future.
Me: Well it was in a follow-up to his guides, that your long, exciting career as a pirate was revealed. So, in the opinion of Kustard King, who is the most promising tribe in World 52?
Kustard King: I think we’re still a week away from being able to make such a prediction. Hoppers are still in the process of hopping in preparation for World 53, and as you can see by the disband of CAEK! even tribes you might have thought would do well (Saying this based on the “most promising tribes” topic) are still dropping. Out of the current tribes in World 52, NiNi. But I have my doubts about their staying power too.
Me: Alright, well thank you for the interview. Are there any last words you would like to say to the citizens of World 52?
Kustard King: Good luck to all the newbies out there. Just remember that emotional blackmail might work on me, but with others you’re not likely to be so lucky :3

Final Thoughts
World 53 will open on November 2nd. How many players will we lose to a new world? And which of the high-ranked world hoppers leave for more desirable settings? The departure of these players will open up the ranks for some of the newer players, and the top tribes will shift accordingly. Im always interested in reader feedback, either here or on skype @ thedrcox. Once again, thanks for reading!
Correction, I’m the biggest Spammer!
MWUAHAHAH!

Can’t wait for the next entry!
