Massive performance by ZIP during the last 10 days! }D~A{, SFV and Legend keep losing against RASP/W.C.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Klouwe: Hello Xillin! For 3 months in a row you are at the top of the Netto Nobler Ranking. Congratulations! Is it hard to keep such a high nobling rate?
Xillin: Yes, you run out of nobles
Klouwe: You have now +200 noblings versus the enemy in 3 months, which appears to be very aggressive. But with the last 50 noblings you only raised 1 mil ODA. And your ODD is 3 times bigger than your ODA. Do you consider yourself an offensive or rather defensive player?
Xillin: Stats are misleading, in war you do what you have to do. Taking villages weakens my enemies more than just killing their troops. My playing style is obvious to those unfortunate enough warrent my attention … let’s leave it at that.
Klouwe: You have a quite widely spreaded frontline with }D~A{, SFV and jotad. Against which of those 3 tribes do you prefer to fight?
Xillin: Very observant. Yes … my villages are not clustered like most other players. My enemies surround me so I enjoy killing them all with equal pleasure.
Klouwe: Reminds me of the joke: “Sir! We’re surrounded!”… “Excellent! Now we can attack in any direction!”
Xillin: Exactly!
Klouwe: RASP has lost plenty points. Recently their points are stabilizing again. Do you think that the main RASP-players are still able to win the war?
Xillin: Point totals are not relevant in this war. The {RASP} fighting spirit and battle tactics will win out over our enemies in the end.
Klouwe: What’s the first thing that you do on your account after you logged in? Check forum/mail/reports/incomings/…
Xillin: Blow up as many villages as I can and sort the other stuff while I wait
Klouwe: How much longer do you think you can hold n°1 in the Top Netto Nobling Ranking?
Xillin: I’ve never played TW to statistics or rankings. I know alot of players are obsessed with them. So being #1 nobler isnt really important to me. So who knows… What is important is if I’m planning to noble you …
Klouwe: If you die and rebirth gives you the chance to return to earth as an animal. Which animal would you choose?
Xillin: Godzilla! Being 500 ft tall and having lazer breath is just totally cool
Klouwe: Thanks for the interview and good luck nobling the enemy!
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
I’ve “excelled” the weekly results from the power rankings in the blog. Union contains all big tribes. There are no splintertribes (except W.C.) included cause before the declaration those small tribes were also not included + I haven’t got perfect information in my blogs about these splintertribes (cause they come and go…). In the 3rd graph you can see more about the influence of splintertribes.
First graph:
Total points (since declaration untill now). RASP loses many points but keeps n°1. Short after the declaration THB is gone. And after a few weeks some RASPians leave and form W.C. who stands on RASPs side.
Second graph:
Relative points raised/lost for the big tribes (since declaration untill now). This makes it pretty easy to see what the policy of tribes is:
* RASP: kicked MUCH dead weight, after 2 months again steady growth
* ATTERO: gained plenty points in the first months, but loses some points later. Since last week growing again
* LoD: constant growth
* ZIP: constant growth
* OZ: almost no changes
* jotad: lost some points short after the declaration (due to some dudes returning to ATTERO), since then a good growth
* Legend: gained 70 mil by recruiting THB. After the merger they are going down but compared to all other tribes at this moment they still got the biggest relative growth (since declaration)
* }D~A{: almost no changes
* W.C.: since foundation a permanent growth
* THB: merged into Legend short after the declaration
Third graph:
Relative points raised/lost RASP vs UNION (since declaration untill now).
RASP: RASP + W.C.
UNION: ATTERO + LoD + ZIP + OZ + jotad + Legend + }D~A{ [SIZE="1"](+ ~THB~)[/SIZE]
Splintertribes: difference in points between RASP and UNION
In total RASP lost -90 mil and The Union gained 76 mil [SIZE="1"](so at this moment the splintertribes still contain about 14 mil, which can be used to fake temporary a growth?)[/SIZE]
In the first weeks after the declaration, RASP kicked plenty inactives (about 60 mil) causing a temporary stabilization for RASP. But as you can see, the splintertribes keep getting pwn-ed by the Union. Later also RASP start again to lose points and after 2 months they kick another 45 mil dead weight. Since then RASP has again a regular growth. But the splintertribes keep losing plenty points.
The Union has since declaration a permanent growth. Therefore soon we’ll see if RASP had again only a temporary stabilization or if they are really growing again. So you only have to look whether The Union loses points to know if RASP (+ splinter tribes) is growing or not.

Last period was successfull for The Union! In total The Union has now already about 550 noblings versus RASP. If W.C. tribe wouldn’t be included in RASPs stats, then RASP would be already 1k behind in the stats.
Now the stats of the individual tribes:
No changes in the overall ranking. Still bronze for Jotad, silver for ZIP and gold for ATTERO!
Only 2 tribes with negative stats: SFV and Legend. ATTERO won this week, pitty that they came 1 nobling short to have 100 netto noblings…
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Klouwe: Hello Carlini! ZIP became this week a major power. Congratulations! Short after the foundation, ZIP had 27 members and 108 mil. Now ZIP has 31 members and 168 mil. How you achieved this rapid growth without much recruitment?
Carlini: Heya, the recruitment has obviously added a majority of those points. Everyone in ZIP is putting the effort in to grow and keep that toal rising, I generally look at village count more than points as it shows a more true power.
Klouwe: OZ and Legend are also part of the Z family. What is their specific relation with ZIP?
Carlini: Well I guess technically in TW terms, very close allies. OZ are run their own way due to disputes long in the past but we try to work as a single unit as much as possible. Legend is a place to grow before advancing to ZIP, life is generally easier but all will make it in eventually.
Klouwe: RASP could show the previous period positive stats versus The Union and this week it appears that they are growing again. Is this just some temporary luck for RASP? Or do you think that the fronts are stabilizing?
Carlini: The fronts are obviously becoming more definded. It was always said early on in the war just wait for the fronts to be fully determinded and then the real war begins. I am obviously more concerned with the west front and over here, apart from the breakaway {RASP} tribes, there is really only me and a few villages left until a true front is all that remains.
Klouwe: Recently W11 got half prized nobles. Have you voted “yes” or “no”? And will it have a big influence on the world or not?
Carlini: I voted yes, not that I really need more nobles, just that it makes the game more fun. More nobles means the world will finish sooner so I can join the RL game again
Klouwe: If you could pick one celebrity to go on a date… Who would you choose?
Carlini: I hate to be that guy…. but it has to be the beautiful Cheryl Cole. Not for the reasons other guys would want to though. I support Newcastle, she is a Geordie, Hawt.
Klouwe: Thank you very much for the interview Tiger!

Since last blog, Legend has been added to the ZIP F. This results into ZIP F. being plotted with the green (#3) color.

The challenge of last week (best joke) is won by BLOODHAWK91
A Illinois man left the snowballed streets of Chicago for a vacation in Florida. His wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him there the next day. When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quick e-mail.Unable to find the scrap of paper on which he had written her e-mail address, he did his best to type it in from memory. Unfortunately, he missed one letter and his note was directed instead to an elderly preacher’s wife,whose husband had passed away only the day before. When the grieving widow checked her e-mail, she took one look at the monitor, let out a piercing scream, and fell to the floor. At the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen:
Dearest Wife,
Just got checked in. Everything prepared for your arrival tomorrow.Your Loving Husband.
PS. Sure is hot down here.
Other notable entries were from:

So a pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel on the front of his pants. Naturally, the bartender says “Hey, whats up with that wheel? Isn’t it annoying?” to which the pirate replied “Arrgghh!!! It’s drivin’ me nuts!!”
Klouwe:
Two Irish guys are fishing. The first guy reels in his line and sees that he’s snagged an old bottle. As he’s taking it off the hook, a genie pops out and promises to grant him one wish. “Turn the lake into beer,” he says. The genie goes “Poof!” and the lake turns into beer. He says to the other guy, “So what do you think?” The other guy says, “You jerk. Now we’ve got to piss in the boat.”
jesse885:
Three men came to Heavens Gate, there the Apostle Peter stopped them. He said, “There is only one space left in heaven, so please come to this tent on the side one at a time and tell me how you died. Then I will choose who deserves the space.”
The first man is taken to the tent, and he starts telling Peter how he died. “I was sure my wife was cheating on me, so I came home early from work one day to check on things. My wife was in the shower, and I started to search through the house. I checked in every room in every imaginable hiding place, but I didnt find anything. So I went onto the balcony, I lived on the 6th floor of an apartment building, feeling horrible due to suspecting my wife of something that she didnt do. But when I looked down, I saw a man in his boxers hanging onto the edge of the balcony with his fingertips. I started stomping on his fingers in a rage, but he just wouldnt let go! So I went inside and got a mallet. After a few hits, the man finally let go and fell down. However, he landed in a tree, and was unharmed!!! So I went inside, blinded by rage I lugged the refrigerator to the balcony and pushed it off the side. Bang! I got him! After a while, I realized what I had done and in my depression I flung myself off the balcony too. And that is why I am here.”
“Interesting story” Peter said, and led the man out of the tent. The man left the tent, and the second man came in and started telling his story: “Im the athletic type, I especially enjoy workouts. I dont like publics gyms due to hygiene though. So I bought my own gym set, and I set it up in my room on the very top floor of an apartment building. After I finished setting it up, I had a very nice long workout. I went onto the balcony to cool off a bit afterwards, but the rail gave way, and i fell down. The next thing I know, im hanging onto the balcony of one of the lower rooms. I was amazed by my luck, and was just gathering the strength to pull myself up when a man appeared above me. I dont know why, but he got very angry when he saw me, and started stomping on my fingers! I had just cheated death, so there was no way I was letting go. Finally he stopped, and disappeared, i could finally breath a sigh of relief. Then he came out with a MALLET!!!! I just couldnt hold on, and fell the rest of the way down.
But then a miraculous thing happened! A tree stopped my fall, and I was completely uninjured! I was bewildered by my luck, and was thanking God for this divine protection when I looked up and saw a fridge falling towards me…”“Thank you or your time” Peter commented, and led the man out. The third man came in and started his story: “Peter, you wont believe this story! Imagine this, your sitting naked in a fridge………”
This week the challenge is…
As you’ve all probably noticed, each blog starts with a banner. Currently it’s the green one above. I’m looking for a new one and that’s your challenge for this week! Requirements for the banner:
Send me link via In-game pm or via forum mail. I will choose the best one and the banner will be used for all the W11-blogs in March.

Klouwe: Hello Amanda! Have you actually played the game and do you like it?
Amanda: O.O Played the game? THERE’S A GAME?!?! >.< Do you mean by hugging everyone? I thought that’s how we played… Yes, I’ve played ^_^ I started on W6 about… 3 years ago I think. It was before the start of W7. I love this game, although since I’m me, not so much for the actual game play, but because of the social networking you can do. I have friends all around the world now, and I really love the aspect of TW that lets people from all different communities come together. I should point out that playing the game for this long is much, much different from being any good at it >.>
Klouwe: But someday you decided to apply for a moderator job. Why? Do you still like it to be a moderator?
Amanda: Well, like I said, I’m in this game for the social aspects for the most part. Since about W8 I’ve been a lurker on the TW IRC channel (y’all should go, it’s awesome), and so I got to know a lot of the mods, both in game and forum. I’ve been here for 3 or 4 CM’s (can’t exactly remember who it was before Gar…) and known them through IRC, and I was generally pretty cool with them. Then I was also in some skype chats with a lot of mods, so the more I heard from them about it, the more it became something I wanted to do. Not that I’d ever been on the forums or anything… I think I had less than 20 posts before becoming a mod >.>Do I still like it? I dunno. I love my forums (No, I will not pick favorites). Both W11 and W15 have some awesome members that I really adore. But y’all are both so gosh darned repetitive. Some days it’s like banging my head against a wall… But overall it’s pretty cool and generally something I enjoy doing… so I guess that means yes, huh?
Klouwe: Who is your favorite poster in the W11 Forums?
Amanda: Well… consistently, I’d have to go with Charles the Bald. He has awesome posts in general that don’t make me wanna bash my head against a wall for reading the same thing for the 10th time (now if only he could make them shorter at points… >.>). Forever? I’d have to go with MasterFireFX. He’s posted on there somewhere (totally biased there though)
Klouwe: Although a moderator should be neutral, who do you favour: RASP or The Union?
Amanda: I actually really like RASP, for all the crap I get from some of it’s members. I really like their duke there, unlike some other tribes (they know who they are >.>) and it has some awesome members. For the record though, Jbak is not for the win (shake). Who’s gonna win tho? I dunno, hard to say. Union is currently kicking butt (way to go y’all) but RASP looks like it might be turning things aroung. Besides, RASP may soon be getting (or have recently gotten) a new player >.> Won’t name names or anything, but he’s a friend of mine and is pretty epic.
Klouwe: Most likely W11 will soon have half prized coins. How will it effect the world?
Amanda: Half-priced coins? Well… there will probably be some whining on the forums about it (my main concern here). But I honestly don’t know. I’m sure it’ll up barb enoblement, especially w/ PR’s recent delete. It might really hurt RASP if the Union (Seriously, who named this group?) can pull together and do some sort of epic op. I’m hoping it means since RASP looks like they’re getting their crap together that their ennoblements will go up and whatnot though.
Klouwe: What’s your favorite day of the week and why?
Amanda: Tuesday without a doubt. I’m gonna guess no one here knows it, but I play a lot of pool (billiards, w/e you wanna call it) and I’m even a member of my universities pool club. We meet on Tuesdays. I stay at the campus pool hall generally around 6 hours then (yes, I have no life, I understand) and it’s epic
Klouwe: Thank you very much for the interveiw! It was nice talking to you!
Amanda: Nice to talk to you as well. Shout-out: Channy, I’m gonna kick your butt on W46. You too Trip

In the graphs below you can see the results of all tribes during January. In the first graph you can see the total points. The 2nd graph shows relative growth during January. You can see that RASP lost about 50 mil. Also ATTERO and Legend suffered losses. Lod, ZIP, OZ and jotad have a good steady growth. Finally also the pie charts. On the left you see the points at the beginning of January, on the right at the end of January. It’s easy to see that RASP lost some pie.

Hallo! This is Klouwe with the Weekly W11 News – The World’s Only Reliable News! This week we saw Phantom Revenge (ex-n°1 of this world) turning barb. Not cool, cause he was a great warrior and now nobles will be wasted on the big grey area. Special this week is an investigation about how the odds changed after 2 months war. We also had a closer look to the bigger tribes to see how they changed last month. And off course, don’t forget the challenge… Have a good read!
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
There were plenty changes this week. RASP suffered a huge loss after seeing Phantom Revenge (11 mil) turning barb. But besides that matter, also a few more RASPs left and joined small tribes. The ATTERO Family is very close to take the n°1 spot in this world.

Last week was the Union can claim a small victory on RASP. Besides the fact that the membershiplist of RASP is a bit smaller, also the remaining RASPians suffered some 1.5 mil losses.
Now the stats of the individual tribes:
ATTERO took the lead in the ranking. Congratulations! OZ could finally after 2 months change their color into green. Well done.
jotad did an outstanding job last week. While being <100 mil, they took +100 villages of the top-tribe of this world.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Some random numbers (RASP vs World declaration => RASP vs Union now):
Below you can see the maps when the declaration was made and the current map. The borders have changed a lot. Most remarkable are K62 and K63. RASP was very dominant in those continents but now lost definitally its grip on them. Also noticeable is that almost all presence of RASP in OZs area is now gone. Cause the stats RASP-OZ are not big, we can conclude that RASP must have kicked lots of dead weight over there and OZ cleaned it up nicely.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
xTARTANx requested to keep track of the change in players in the tribes. By comparing that with the points, it’s easier to see how good tribes are really doing. I’ve done this for the biggest tribes ({RASP}, ATTERO, LoD, ZIP). You can see the charts below.
The growth of LoD and ZIP was not limited by losing players. They gained 16.3 mil (LoD) and 12.3 mil (ZIP) this month. ATTERO had more struggles. You can see (when they didn’t lose players) that they have a steady growth. But losing some of their members resulted into gaining only 4.5 mil during last month. The fall of {RASP} is understandable when you see their loss of members. Last month {RASP} lost 44.1 mil.
Some claim that {RASP}s core members are still growing. So out of curiosity I looked up all the points that were lost due to players leaving {RASP} or members turning barbarian. When you compare that number with their total loss then you can see how many points the remaining {RASP}ians have gained or lost. The current {RASP} players have gained 4.0 mil last month. So they are indeed still growing. But the growth is less than the other big tribes.

Hallo! This is Klouwe with the Weekly W11 News – The World’s Only Reliable News! Besides the usual updates, we also provide a nice map which can put things in new perspectives. This week we could catch HCTP (the duke of the mysterious tribe W.C.) for some questions. Hopefully the interview makes the situation about W.C. a bit more clear. Have fun and don’t forget to enter the challenge or Adam Tucker will destroy you, like he did with MCD and is doing now with RASP!

Although RASP did lose points, their active players are setting up equal numbers of noblings against the other side.
Now the stats of the individual tribes:
Nothing changed yet in this ranking, but OZ is close to set their numbers green. ATTERO catched up with ZIP and is now only 2 noblings short to take #1 in the ranking.
ATTERO did amazing last week. ZIP, jotad, OZ and LoD can also show good stats. RASP eats }D~A{, SFV and Legend for breakfast.

On this map all top-10 tribes are plotted + their conquers on the enemies.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Klouwe: W.C. was founded about 2 weeks after the declaration of RASP on the world. Why a bunch of active dudes left RASP to fight in a separated tribe the same enemies?
HCTP: Ah right to business, well the truth was I was close to quiting tribalwars. I was getting bored. I was losing the reason why I play(continue playing) tribalwars. I play for the people and while in {RASP} it got lost over time. The people in W.C (pronounced dub-cee) are people that I have been playing with for over 2 years and we all have gotten close. I wanted to go back to the basic of working with my friends. There are a few other reason but out of respect I will not be replying about those.
Klouwe: So you formed your own tribe. But you are still allied with RASP, probably having a shared forum and fighting the same enemies.
HCTP: Yes we have a few shared forums with {RASP} that is correct but no we do not have the same enemies. Of course you have to also understand that I came from {RASP} so emotion of the enemies that {RASP} had traveled with me and my tribe mates. In {RASP} I was one of the first barrons, I lead the north so I had a lot of feelings and choices of what enemies we took on in the north. So I can see how the world believe that we share the same enemies. I really don’t know if the world would believe me if I told them otherwise.
Klouwe: Is it okay to say that you are on “{RASP}s side” in their war against The Union (=rest of the world)? Otherwise it can be interpretated that (cause RASP declared on the whole world), W.C. is also an enemy of RASP…
HCTP: I have tried to stay very unclear about our relationship in the pub. Partially to let peoples beliefs place us where they want. I think {RASP} declaration was not quite clear enough. ZIP family, ATTERO, LoD Jotad }DF{ the major factions were made enemies after that. I never saw every single tribe on the world made enemy during the end of my stay in {RASP}. {RASP} declared on the world but was WWI and WWII involve the entire world? Truthfully, I really don’t care what side of the stats W.C. is put on or if they are even involved in the stats. I and my tribemates are here to play with each other till rimmed or boredom takes us away from world 11.
Klouwe: Although W.C. has only 8 members and is facing much bigger tribes, you guys are doing great with stats 384-60 since foundation. What has been the key to that success?
HCTP: Team work is the main thing that has gotten us those stats. I also would say we got lucky on who we hit. We hit some people that seemed to have just thrown their hands up after receive a number of attacks. But back to the team work, when one of us asks for something everyone offers help. I have been in many tribes where you ask for support and out of 90 players 2 people respond. In this tribe we all respond.
Klouwe: On the nobling map (see below) it’s very clear that W.C. (pink) has nobled tons of villages in K13. It looks like taking K13 is one of the goals of W.C.. Do you think Legend will be able to hold dominance in K13?
HCTP: Legend would have to get there act together and slow down the nobling. It is hard to slow an oposition that has a head of steam. Just as {RASP} has seen with ATTERO and ZIP. In any manner taking over K dominance is a long and slow process.
Klouwe: What’s your favorite midnight snack?
HCTP: Well when I was 5, I use to cover myself in a blanket and eat suger out of a bowl. I have now upgraded to gummy candy.
Klouwe: haha, lol. Thank you very much for the interview HCTP! And good luck in the war!
HCTP: No problem It was enjoyable for me also

Last week was almost equal between The Union and RASP.
Now the stats of the individual tribes:
In the overall ranking ZIP is still leading. SFV and Legend switched spots, making Legend The Lanterne Rouge of the competition.
Last week ZIP and ATTERO did a great job. Also LoD and OZ could show positive stats against RASP. jotad, }D~A{, SFV and Legend need to step up or they’ll keep getting grated by rasp.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Klouwe: Hello omfsmthefsm! You won the special challenge of the blog, so you won an interview. Please introduce yourself to W11 (and the other readers of the blog).
Omfsmthesfm: My name is Ben, I’m 17 as of January 9th. I started playing w11 (my first world) around December two years ago. I’ve always been in the tribes that merged together to eventually form Attero, so naturally I only have one perspective from W11 :p I’m the unofficial leader of Attero as all members and loyal to me and Aristice and Trauber run with their tails between their legs when they hear my name. In reality, I am on the council, so I share power with all the other members on the council (which is the leadership of Attero, the dukes just enact what is said there.)
Klouwe: cydrych [ATTERO] was the first to noble a RASP-village since the declaration. It took his nobles only 16 minutes to take the first village in this long war. So I checked more about ATTERO vs RASP stats and saw 24 noblings and 8 losses in the last 24 hours before the declaration of RASP. So there were already for a while struggles between ATTERO-RASP? And if RASP didn’t declare on ATTERO, then would ATTERO have declared on RASP?
Omfsmthefsm: It wasn’t really a struggle, it was more of taking what we were promised. RASP recruited a bunch of Pal and =NN= members (which ticked us off a little, but we really put no complaint to the members who were recruited far from our borders) and we were promised villages as compensation. The deal was that we would take 100 ARSIN vills (ARSIN was what annoyed us the most as he was RIGHT on our border and was under constant attack) and we would release all refugee claims. After a period longer than a month we received nothing so we re-initiated the attacks on ARSIN (officially on all PAL runners.) When ARSIN started taunting us in the low walls forum (shared with RASP) we went all out and started to noble him. So we were not really planning on warring RASP, despite members encouraging it, we just wanted SOME action.
Klouwe: So fights for RASPs eastern and southern flank was almost inevitable. But their northern-western flank was still napped/allied. Why do you think RASP declared instantly on the whole world making them extra vulnerable?
Omfsmthefsm: As far as I know, ZIP was also having problems with RASP. And I think RASP overestimated what they could do- dealing with a bunch of tribes without war experience (Raven, CQB) is different than taking on a bunch of war vets with more total villages than you and I think they didn’t anticipate what they were going to get, as evidenced by members deleting or leaving the tribe.
Klouwe: Enough about the war. Where does the name ATTERO come from and why this name?
Omfsmthefsm: Attero is the Latin word for destroy. Originally there were four Attero tribes, ~AC~ -AC- -AA- -AD-. Each had their own meaning (Destroy chaos, kings, anarchy and something (possibly destroy effort, I’m not sure)). So we merged the best players together to simply get ATTERO
Klouwe: What is your favorite aspect of TribalWars and the most hilarious tw-related moment of 2009?
Omfsmthefsm: Pretty much anything by Headvoid is awesome. I also like the strategy as opposed to just straight out attacking. Makes things a little more fun and complicated :p I also loved seeing Adam Tucker run rampant for a couple of months (“adam tucker sad to see it. MCD is number 7, can’t help but feel bad, it was all my falt”) <Favorite quote by him. There haven’t been many politically related funnies… I just like the excuses all the tribes make for their shortcomings =D
Klouwe: If you could change something about TW, what would it be and why?
Omfsmthefsm: More active players. The world would be so much more fun if people nobled each other and not just barbarians and inactive tribe mates.
Klouwe: Thanks for this interview! Keep giving entries for the challenge and good luck in the war!
Omfsmthefsm: Not a problem. Looking forward to being published in all my glory!

Side 2: The Union (ZIP OZ Legend LoD ATTERO SFV jotad }D~A{)
Timeframe: Last week
Total conquers against opposite side:
Side 1: 277
Side 2: 375
Difference: 98
The Union is doing a bit better than RASP. Last week they’ve nobled roughly 100 villages more than RASP nobled from The Union.
Now the stats of the individual tribes:
ZIP is leading the overall ranking! But also ATTERO, jotad and LoD have done a great job. RASP has been doing very well against SFV, Legend and }D~A{.
More recently ZIP is still doing great, same as ATTERO and LoD. Legend has been suffering many losses (mainly due to W.C.). Other tribes are also losing to RASP but with minor losses.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I’ll clarify the updates in the World War with the Conquer Map. All the blue dots on the map are conquers for The Union (ATTERO, LoD, ZIP, SFV, OZ, jotad, Legend, }D~A{) on RASP ({RASP} and W.C.). All the red dots are conquers for RASP on The Union. Only noblings of last month against opposite side are plotted.
Many noblings are located several continents away from the real frontline. So although it’s possible to see RASPs area, it’s obvious that the frontlines are still being shaped. The first stadium of the war already caused 3 changes in continental dominance:

___________________________________________________________________________________________________
In this ranking the personal noblings on the enemy are counted (since the declaration up to 7th Jan 18h00). So for RASP players all noblings against The Union count. For The Union players all noblings against RASP counts. Only the players with 30 noblings against his opposite side are listed. Congrats xillin with your current n°1 spot in this ranking!
1 ) xillin [{RASP}] 102 noblings
2 ) Phantom Revenge [{RASP}] 96 noblings

In this small article I would like to point out the major changes in points during December. Only Major and Mid-sized Powers are included in the sexy graphs. In the first picture you can see the growth of all these tribes. In the second picture you can see the relative growth of all these tribes. And finally the third picture represents a yummy pie chart of the change of power of these tribes during December. Since the declaration of {RASP} on the whole world, {RASP} has kicked much dead weight causing terrible results for December. But you can also see that in the second half of December the points are stagnating. So most likely this will result again into a steady growth of {RASP} during January. In the relative growth graph you can see that only 2 tribes had a decent growth: ATTERO and ZIP.

Bonjour W11! Since the declaration of RASP on the whole world already 44 players left this world (thx to MyPetWorm for this information from his updates in the Countdown w11 topic). This week RASP lost again a huge amount of points. For more information about RASPs side, we have an interview with RASPie Elmo. Also don’t forget to send me an entry for the challenge!

This week I had a nice chat with Elmo, the winner of the challenge last week.
Klouwe: Hello Elmo! You are well-known on the externals and are recently playing the goldcorp account. But I assume a long time ago you also had your own account? In which tribes have you been in W11?
Elmo: Well hello Klouwe! I started around the K86 region, and joined a tribe called KOTT that was located solely on the fact a real life friend was a baron in it. I then was rimmed by LoD-NW so ended up in K70, i was in some small noob tribes before joining RSK~S which i thought was the biggest tribe ever (1.2 million). Then i started talking to KOA Anubis who was leader of DMNT (CQB=D=) at that time so ended up moving there, after he persuaded me. Then i moved MAFIA until jen had me move back to DMNT (CQB=D=). I then quit w11 as i had got bored, untill KOA rang me up saying return because he had me an account, so i returned to DMNT – then called AoD. I then quit that account to take on a smaller account, coplaying with a certain noob Pinrage. We both quit, so i went to juveleo and played with him for a while, untill i left to take on an account in W14. I once again returned due to Anubis ringing me up asking if i was gunna return. I came back to play Shellman221 with him, before being offered Goldcorp account.
Klouwe: Wow, so you’ve been playing on many accounts here in W11! So currently you are playing on the goldcorp account. Does this frontline account suites your playing method well or do you prefer to play accounts with more safe backyard villages?
Elmo: Well frankly, im quite inactive at this moment in time, however i’ve just been in contact with a certain Mr. Pinrage so i have found myself a brand new coplayer, who will help me come over my current disadvantage. I’m at a total of 1+ villages so far during the war, that i believe considering i’m in a total of 4 k’s that have a front with enemys is an ok achievement. i have had 1 sitter so far taking two hours off me.
Klouwe: Very recently W.C. was founded. They are located very close to you… How are they related to RASP and are you going to join them?
Elmo: When i logged on today i found out about W.C, i thought about joining and talked to Pinrage about joining, i thought that it would be a good idea, thinking that they might be against RASP and would be another front to fight, letting me get more villages. I checked the diplomacy and saw they were *Allies*, so i’ve decided to think about asking for an invite and concentrate on making my account better and sorting out my incomings. Later today I heared that HCTP decided he wanted to form a tribe of hard ass fighters with some mates so he did
Klouwe: I heared an incident happened in RASP-T so a new tribe was established: TSPU. Now in the main forum there was a discussion about this new tribe. What is your opinion about them? Are they a part of RASP (=under RASPs command), neutral or RASPs enemy?
Elmo: Like i mentioned earlier, i have logged on today for the first time in 3/4 days. They are not on our ally list, nor NAP or Enimies list, they are going to be free food when we turn our attention to them, making them a good target, they might be thinking that they will be able to join W.C, but meh, i don’t know.
Klouwe: Since RASPs declaration on the world RASPs side dropped from 525 mil to 467 mil (still including the points of not4u and W.C.). I can understand that leaving dead weight behind is a good job but losing 58 mil (which is +/- 12% of the current size of the RASP F.) is not very good… Do you think RASP made a good call to kick all those inactives? In the end they’ll have to spend 5800 nobles to regain that 58mil…
Elmo: We have lost points, all tribes would lose points at the beginning of a war with the whole world, many tribes would fall in the first week against the world, especially if it was at this stage of the world. The players who have left don’t deserve to be in RASP, so there dead weight! W.C are still our points, so there still in the rasp, even if there in W.C.
Klouwe: Suppose you would have the power of the admins for 1 day, then what would you do? Also suppose nobody would ever know that you performed those actions…
Elmo: I would ban AJ and Headvoid so we could take on attero without those monsters there!
Klouwe: haha, well, I wish you and whole RASP big fun in the war! Thanks for the interview!
