Hello my wonderful viewers, I Hope today find’s you in good cheer, and high spirits. A lot has changed in our cheerful little world as of late it is my hope I have been able to catch and record those changes in a sign cant enough way that I can relay it back to you.
One such example of recent changes is the power houses of E.T. and pch have fallen to the road side. So it seems we would have some splits and merges due to these actions. Also dream is gone, as ILL stands tall as the victor of that northern battle that will be remembered for ages in the future. Merges are something always talked about and everyone always says such and such world merges too much and these merges are ruining such and such world; Which is similar in a lot of ways how older people talk about how the younger generation is bad. Well merges take place on every world and while most might not like or agree with them the fact is that they make the world and the tribes that shape the world, there a fundamental part of the makeup of this game.
Rankings
Enough talk let’s look at the top 5 tribe rankings.
1 Happy : This seems to be the largest splinter of the once mighty E.T led by xenthyl this tribe seems to be growing steadily and seems to be pretty solid member wise. They have a semi low member count of 31. And seem quite confident for the future, there greatest challenge will be solidifying there K’s so they can then move on outwards and maybe challenge some of the larger tribes in war. They seem to have 4 inactive members with their duke internalling one of the 4.4 is also the number of people they have in the red for the weeks running total of growth.
2 Infamy : It would Seem that PCH has split with the larger of the two parts joining infamy. Infamy then kicked some of there in actives recently, while the amount of members has gone up some it seems they tried to limit this as well, they firmly control 4 k’s with a presence in others. They have a large amount of members which is often seen as a negative but it seems infamy knows how to control their members and this isn’t much of an issue for them. They only have two accounts in the negative for the weeks total. There inactivity seems small and hard to catch, but then again maybe it’s just hiding in there bulk of members. It will indeed be important to watch this tribe and see what they do in the future, but for the time being it seems infamy has a firm spot in this world.
3 4Play : A formation of some smaller players, in the east and a couple of the former pch members near them they started off with a bang by attacking train and forcing them to disband. With a few good members and the solid leadership it seems to have this tribe is indeed off to a good start. They need to secure there region a bit and fill in the gaps between there players. They seem to have 4 players in the red for this weeks growth period, as well as 2 in actives.
4 Ill : the proud victor of the war of the north , they seem very strong and very proud. At the start of their war no one would of guessed the winner, but with dream gone, only Ill remains now. With strong control in the north they remain a bit spread and could use some condensing and cleaning up there region a small bit. But this is indeed a tribe that is holding their own in this world. They have no members in the red for this week’s growth and seem to be very active and very dedicated.
5 Lucky! Former where members, and former raov and former e.t. this tribe is indeed a nice mixing pot of various tribes in there region. They have a nice area of control they could use with some strengthening in their core region as most of the top tribes could. They have the smallest member count of the top 5 tribes which is always a positive, don’t seem to have many in actives, and only have 1 player in the red for the weeks growth. We will see what the future holds for them and if they will remain in the top 5.
It seems things are shaping up and even out. For yes dear readers because from the looks of things that time has come on w57 that has come on many past worlds, the core is starting to crumble a bit and the rim tribes are stepping up to bat. This may be a time of unrest and change , but from experience in past worlds things will start to calm down a bit after this now. But then again every world is difrent, but it could be that we are truly leaving behind the early days of our world and stepping into the mid-game era. Times change and everyone has to change with them or else you end up with the dinosaurs
top players
Now let’s see what of the top 6 players remain from the last time around.
1 TheIlluminati in the past this player seems to have gobbled up a lot of internals, while keeping a high ODA count. Lately they seem to have been munching on barb noblers in there region. It will be interesting to see how they hold up in the future and if they will keep there rank 1 spot, or if they will be forced to actually fight active, dedicated, good players instead of picking on the weak and those that have quit or gone barb.
2. noobsonice: banned
3. DontworryIamnotverygood this player has recently merged and gave the account two new co-players. It seems to be ran 24/7 and is very active; there growth has slowed now that the merging of the two accounts is over. They seem to have a solid area and could use some expansion maybe towards the west and Tw Player who seems to be there biggest competitor and whom they have attacked in past wars, but maybe not as train disbanded and their targets have found refuge in Vodka, in fact ex-train seeking safety in vodka could slow the growth of this account, time will tell as we keep an eye on them.
4. Pain.Carbon Has a steady village growth and small villages overall, but lots of them seems to be a active farmer, getting a lot of res and coins to use for more villages, his noble rate seems to be about equal to that which he can noble or has troops to clear, in English he is doing wonderful and will probably rise a rank and will definitely stay in top 5.
5. wingedpig Has been growing steady, fighting in the amigo war, gaining good stats and nice conquerors, his growth is pretty stable and it seems he has excess nobles to keep his current rank where it is at.
6. lion lio spread over 3 k’s there growth has been nice and stable, they seem to have lots of excess nobles so there growth rate should remain stable, and should sky rocket if they can find a target to noble, or if they get any internals. Look to see them rising in the ranks a bit.
The lead of the top 5 is starting to widen, as is the amount of surplus that some of them have that will make a continued growth easier. Anyone can always challenge them but this may get harder as this gap starts to widen.
Interview Time
Next I have some pretty Interviews for you all too read; With various players and tribal leaders that I haven’t been able to talk with before. I am slowly but surely trying to get all the top players and top tribes an interview week by week.
First we have a interview with the leader of 4play, a very friendly and nice guy named chomp of the dontworry account.

miwok:
Hello
Chomp/Weiz:
Hi
miwok:
So you play the dontworry account?
Chomp/Weiz:
Yes I try to
miwok:
Orgianlly player?
Chomp/Weiz:
I am the orignal owner yes, have had many co’s come and go, Must be a problem with my personality as they normally don’t stay long but have now stablised with two great co’s. Danny and Belinda.
miwok:
Good to hear on the present part of things at least
Chomp/Weiz:
Thanks, I am trying to treat Danny and Belinda well
miwok:
Thats good
So do you see your growth as steady and consistent?
Chomp/Weiz:
Was at the start, but of late has come in big spurts, but now a few internals are finished :$ we should soon be on a steady growth path
miwok:
K
Hows your area? any big threats?
Chomp/Weiz:
Well without any diplomacy would have a few, you have recently moved in for one and a few of the ex PcH guys but hopefully they all love us. I suppose as they are untested I would have to say TW Player, would be the biggest player in our tribes K’s. Time will only tell
miwok:
Ok
Do you see a bright future for your account?
Chomp/Weiz:
Well Belinda, Danny and myself have all said we will see this world out so I really hope so, but this is TW so you never know what fate my deal you, but we are certinaly in a postion for a bright future I would say
miwok:
Do you see your self moving up in the ranks?
Chomp/Weiz:
Well with Noobs on Ice banned would say yes we will take No 2 and plan on giving your account a run for its money for No 1
miwok:
Ok , good to no
I think
Chomp/Weiz:
I am sure you will make it hard for us to catch you
miwok:
Maybe
Might have ot farm more and such
But shhhh I am Blogger not player for now
Chomp/Weiz:
miwok:
In your view how is w57 sorting out? is it getting better or worse? steady or rocky?
Chomp/Weiz:
In many ways W57 has been hit hard by the bans, but players being caught cheating and banned is actually better for the game long term. From day 1 there has never been 1 stand out tribe and for that reason and the bans there have been many changes and lots of (hug) but I think it is now settling down and hopefully the mid to end game will be much better
miwok:
Yes
Do you think w57 will be a quick world or a long drawn out world? or too early too tell?
Chomp/Weiz:
I would still say to early to tell, there have been a few tribe mergers that may bring a couple of bigger looking tribes to the front but as this world has already shown you never can be sure, Where? looked good at the start and now they have splintered. PcH had potential and the same has happened. I think there may be a few rim tribes that may have something to say in the long run if they can keep active and make the correct moves, I would like to hope it can be a longish world, or less you all want to quit now and let 4Play win then I am happy for a short world. (wasntme)
miwok:
Lol
Anything else you would feel like saying or think would be worthwhile for the blog?
Chomp/Weiz:
For now I would say no and good luck to all lets hope this world can get going now
Now do I get the job and whats the pay like :^)
miwok:
Nope
And good luck to you as well
And thanks for your time

Hello
Ryan/Krakatoa:
Hello
miwok:
What account do you currently play on w57?
Ryan/Krakatoa:
Krakatoa the Destroyer
miwok:
Tribe?
Ryan/Krakatoa:
~KGD~
miwok:
And you are one of the dukes there correct?
Ryan/Krakatoa:
Yes
I am the diplomat
miwok:
Intresting
Your tirbe is located on the rim correct?
Ryan/Krakatoa:
K24 is our main continent, but we also own 23 (thanks *FL*), and K13
miwok:
Ok
So that puts you on the north centralish region?
Ryan/Krakatoa:
Northwest I would say
miwok:
Ok
Do you see your tribe as stable?
Ryan/Krakatoa:
Solid as a rock. I don’t see us going anywhere any time soon, other than up.
miwok:
Thats always good
Any serias competetion near you?
Ryan/Krakatoa:
We share a long border with Halp! and another long border with Dream.
I don’t know if I would consider them competition right now though.
miwok:
Fair enough
Any problems with inactivity?
Ryan/Krakatoa:
Well, that is our business, but no.
miwok:
Always good to know
Do you see your tribe as working well as a team?
Ryan/Krakatoa:
Extremely well, that is our greatest strength, that is the reason we are one of the fastest growing tribes on w57, and undoubtedly, that is why we are currently together as a tribe.
~KGD~ had a rocky road behind it, and the reason we are still here is the dedication each and every player gives to the team.
miwok:
Ok
What is your greatest straghn as a tribe?
Ryan/Krakatoa:
I explained in the last question.
miwok:
Ok fair enough
Greatest weakness?
Ryan/Krakatoa:
None
If I had to name one, I suppose I might say our current lack of villages in inhibiting our growth further
miwok:
Ok
Would you be bale to name 1 or 2 of your greatest tribe members? maybe not the best or the greatest just the ones that stick out
That kind of keep thinsg going be it tribe bussiness or just jokes
Ryan/Krakatoa:
Well, a special shout out to all members. In all honesty, we are a tight group. Everybody is active and contributes. We have a very active skype channel, our forums are healthy. Everybody participates and gets involved with the tribe on social and war matters.
miwok:
Ok
Good to now and glad to hear
Anything else you would like to add to your section of the blog?
Ryan/Krakatoa:
Well, we’ve done well thus far to maintain a low profile. That seems to be working for us right now
miwok:
Ok
Miwok:
have a good day

Followering up we have a interview with the duke of infamy kato
| Extra |
SelectShow> |
miwok:
Hello
kato:
Hi
miwok:
You are one of the dukes of infamy correct?
kato:
Yes
miwok:
In the past we were unable to meet for a interview would you say a delay in interviewing has bettered such a interview?
kato:
Yes now that i have more time its a better time.
miwok:
Ok
I ment in the last week you have had alot of tribe changes correct?
kato:
Yeh the joining of ex pch players. the dismissals of lower point infamy players.
miwok:
As rank 2 and having alot more members then the other top tribes would you consider yourself a mass recruitment tribe?
kato:
Lol no and as a matter of fact psycho and i talk about this daily. the addition of most of pch makes it look that way, but infamy has always ben a larger tribe. im very touchy on activity. if some one goes yellow i drop there privs or psycho does. after 2 days we internal them.
We hope to have infamy around 65 players
miwok:
Ok good to know
Do you see your slefs as having a solid area?
kato:
My self or infamy?
miwok:
Infamy
kato:
Well since the addition of pch players not sure on those fronts yet. we feel the next few weeks the ex pch players will get to know how we do things around here. psycho and i wouldnt of invited pch players if we didnt think it would be a good fit. we do things a little differant in here then other tribes normally do.
Our old front old infamy they have proven they know how to fight. im sure ex pch will prove them selves also.
miwok:
Ok good
And whats is your greatest weakness and streangh as tribe?
kato:
Weakness id have to say the fact we are believed to be a mass recruiting tribe. our recruitment has ben closed for months. we do not even contact players for recruitment and are not looking for new members. our strength is our team work and abilitys to attack as a tribe. from our smallest to our bigest we coordinate very well. ive stressed team work and the buddy system since day one in here.
miwok:
Good to know
Anything else you would like to add in?
kato:
As far as strengths and weekneses?
miwok:
Nah
In general about the interview?
kato:
I dont know bro its your baby u tell me how im doing lol. im not the tribes mouth piece psycho does most the pnps. psycho and i have great relationship we think a like. it scares me some times how in tune he and i are when it comes to decisions and the path of the tribe. in my mind u need 2 dukes willing to share the load of running a good tribe u know. psycho is the good cop. im the bad cop.
miwok:
Lol that seems a good enough comment
Good luck to you and your tribe
Have a good day
kato:
U to thanks bro
