Hello w19…long time, no update.

First things first, I’d like to say sorry for not updating in so long.  RL has been a little like the TW w19 for a while now—one thing after another and boom you don’t realize how much time has passed =)  There’s been a ton of things going on in w19 recently, and to get the blog up to speed, here’s a shortened version of the recap:

A short war between UNSF and UWA started and ended in about a two week period (there were many rumors suggesting this was a staged war due to the low number of conquers and OD between the involved tribes, but I have no proof either way so I won’t speculate as to the truth of this rumor or the legitimacy of the war).

A few days after this declaration died down, multiple tribes began attacking the rank 1 tribe of w19, Asylum.  The attacking tribes have been lovingly dubbed the BBC (Bonded Bum Chums) as a short name for this coalition.  The attacks were led by the coalition tribes in the south and east, specifically UNSF, Bonded, EP, and UWA.  A number of days later, the Brains family began attacking also.

Not long after that, Pandas began attacking the top 20 tribe Just in the far NE corner of the w19 map.  All* have also declared on Virtus/Origin, and the recently formed EARTH (in the far NW of the map) have declared on ~TA~ and Cc.

Of the former tribes Bonded and UNSF, several players from Bonded joined UNSF and renamed their tribe to OutFit.  The leaders of Bonded and OutFit have described it as consolidating their active members into a single tribe.  Shortly after this move, XLR declared on OutFit/Bonded.

This is just a quick recap of new happenings since the last update.  There are still of course, wars that were going on before, such as Candy vs. Virtus/Origin and NIR vs. Brains F., but I really wanted to touch base on the newest wars.  Now a quick look at the maps:

If you compare that to the maps posted in the last blog update, there have been some real shifts.  Let’s also have a look at the Power Rankings, courtesy of Persempai (thanks!):

Thanks again to Persempai (who has much nicer power rankings than I).  I didn’t receive any answers to the last blog question (which asked for a prediction of where you see w19 in 6 months)…I suppose it was too big of a question, as evidenced by the changes we’ve seen since last update which was nowhere near 6 months ago!  I’ll make this week’s question pretty simple and straightforward: What do you think of the new version 6.0 updates? Love em, hate em? Do you have better ideas? Let me know how you feel (ingame mail or forum mail to Chrisparty)!  I know this blog update is a bit on the short side, but player interviews will be returning soon, and I’ve got a couple other ideas you should be hearing about shortly.  Have fun and happy clicking w19!

Aloha W11! This is Klouwe with the Weekly W11 News – The World’s Only Reliable News! Besides the usual updates on the Power Rankings and the War Stats, we also have interview this week. We could catch Xillin (top nobler against the enemy) for some quick questions. And don’t forget to enter the challenge!

Player of the Week; Xillin

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!

3 months after declaration…

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.

Player Of The Week: Carlini

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!

Challenge of the Week

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:

Omfsmthefsm:

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…

A brief summary about the current wars:

1.Axes (rank 2) and O-RLY? (rank 12) v/s Knock! (rank 4)

2.OCD (rank 3) v/s ABAZA (rank 15)

3.Motive (rank 5) v/s S3X (rank 6)

War for domination of the northern frontiers, the outer rim and a war to prove the world which the best tribe is:

AXES v/s KNOCK!

AXES = Green

KNOCK! = Grey

OCD = Red

PwN = Blue

S3X = White

Motive = Yellow

ABAZA = Purple

Hiraya = Maroon

O-RLY? = Crimson

Unreal = Black

This war has been much awaited with these 2 top ranked tribes trying to settle it out in the battlefield. AXES, the former #1 tribe, through a very good diplomacy, had, till now, chosen to stay away from their main wars, swiftly cleaning out their Ks and decimating other tribes. KNOCK! on the other hand, have been at war since their creation and have been successful so far, taking out larger tribes in the process. Now the question is “Who will emerge victorious?”. In many people’s opinion, there won’t be a clear cut winner to this war, it will end in a NAP or even if there’s a winner, it will leave a lot of scars for the victorious tribe. Continents majorly involved are K25 and K35 with a few noblings in K15 as well.

AXES, according to many, have been by far the top tribe of this world. With an arsenal of top players from previous worlds, they’re sure to dominate here. KNOCK! are ex- world 23 players who have quite some skill in them too. So, all in all, its an even match. Though AXES have a lower member count, their members are bigger and at the start of the war, they had a 10 million point advantage over KNOCK!. Unreal, a tribe west of AXES have been helping them in faking the members of KNOCK! with occassional nukes and also supporting. They haven’t been directly involved in the war so far.

Jonathan1979, of AXES, made the official declaration and though this has been a slow war, AXES have the upper hand so far. Most of the caps have been taken in K25 and K35, a bloodshedded battlefield where nukes and nobles are going splat and nobling and re-taking are occurring continuously. These 2 tribes did have a mutual NAP agreement prior to starting of the war, but it was evident that a huge battle for supremacy for only a matter of time.

Stats since declaration:

Side 1: AXES  72

Side 2: KNOCK! 38

O-RLY? v/s KNOCK!

O-RLY? declared on KNOCK! the same day as AXES, a side war, but the major war that this tribe has entered in so far. The war is in the eastern rim, in K28 and K38 mostly and a couple of skirmishes here and there in K37. O-RLY? dealt the first blow, but then KNOCK! have stabilized the situation and are currently leading in overall stats since the declaration was made. Recently, O-RLY? have been severely crippled by many players quitting and leaving tribe and going inactive. This will be a huge blow for them and whether or not they can recover from this and turn the tide against a tribe several times bigger than them, only time will tell.

Stats since declaration:

Side 1: O-RLY?  43

Side 2: KNOCK!  121

OCD v/s ABAZA

OCD are W12 veterans with lots of game experience and skill in their artillery. No wonder when you see this tribe’s ODA, its by far the most in this world even after being made several months later after the start of the world. Their motto: Take hold of the core and fight the hard way out, eliminate enemies by war, not by embracing them. This tribe has been at war since the dawn of times and have proved themselves over and over again. Member count isn’t too high, showing good co-ordination.

ABAZA are a group of 4 huge players, who broke off before the fall of the giant, Legacy and they have so far, maintained a low profile, both in game and on the forums. They have been quietly nobling and accumulating points. Skillwise, many say, they’re very good, will they be able to hold fort against the bigger and stronger OCD soldiers? So far, the stats show a drastic decline with 2 members out of 4 leaving the tribe and getting nobled out.

Stats since declaration:

Side 1: OCD  90

Side 2: ABAZA (including the 2 players who left)  1

Motive v/s S3X

This is the war for southern dominance. Motive and 4-Play had been at war with OMG!, but since then, Motive merged with OMG! to war 4-Play in a quest to be the rulers of the southern hemisphere of W41. 4-Play disbansion led to the rise of a few local tribes, who merged, settling their differences to create S3X. This should be an interesting war to watch, as both sides have skilled players and they’re quite evenly matched. Without external interference, this could be a long, tiring war that would determine the geography of the south.

Stats since declaration:

Side 1: Motive 23

Side 2: S3X 33

Stay tuned for more exciting war news, stats and results to come.

I love to travel and am interested in photography. Composing poems and articles is my hobby, as is cooking. I have my own blog in Blogger.  I spend a lot of time on the net doing blogging, playing 3 worlds and most importantly, chatting, so hit me up on Skype if you want to.

The daily ennoblement map looks like this pretty much daily, with -WE- nobling more than all other tribes combined, and controlling a land area of over half the globe.  It looks difficult to read so here is a secondary key:

Red = -WE-

Maroon = FxF (NAP of -WE-)

Green = NEK*K (Ally of FxF)

Blue = VF (remnants of PTT)

Grey = TATEC (noob tribe harboring remnants of PTT)

Yellow = SOCOM (3 fat targets waiting to get rimmed)

Black = PTT

It appears pretty evident that the PTT family is all but nobled out/deleted/inactive.  There’s not much else to say about this world now, other than to watch for the red to continue spreading.

Here are some basic War Stats from the past month (from twstats.com):

-WE- is beating PTT/VF/TATEC/SOCOM (also know as, “the rest of the world aside from FxF) by an ennoblement score of 1,136 to 76 for a +1,060 differential.

FxF/NEK*K is beating PTT/VF/TATEC/SOCOM by a score of  222 to 93 for a +129 margin.

People have been chattering in public forums about when the -WE- and FxF crews will turn on each other and war, but it looks like they both have a lot of villages in the southeastern quadrant of the game world to keep chewing on for a while. After that’s through I imagine a final FxF vs. -WE- war will be inevitable.

In order to put the net growth of all relevant tribes of the world into perspective, I have provided the following graphic which displays all tribes’ village ennoblement statistics for the past week.These numbers are from twstats.com and incorporate all gains and losses aside from account deletions/bannings.  The only missing statistic is that of tribeless players, which is not tracked by TWstats.

Hola! This is Klouwe with the  Weekly W11 News – The World’s Only Reliable News! Have a good read! This week we have an extra big edition. Check the usual updates and see that for the first time RASP is beating The Union. A new update of the Top Netto Nobler is calculated; congrats xillin to be still n°1 in this ranking! We also have an interview with the lovely W11 moderator Amanda. Next there are the sexy graphs which represent the results of January. And finally, don’t forget the challenge!

Player of the week: Casus Belli

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

Results of January

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!

Power Rankings

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.

• BH (1-man tribe from bratsch) recruited more ex-RASPs and changed its name into Cr*kUp
• a new 1-man tribe enters as a Minor Power: RH@D*

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:

Forever:

ATTERO took the lead in the ranking. Congratulations! OZ could finally after 2 months change their color into green. Well done.

• ATTERO: 457

• }D~A{: -250
• SFV: -362

Last week:

jotad did an outstanding job last week. While being <100 mil, they took +100 villages of the top-tribe of this world.

• jotad: 107
• ATTERO: 61
• ZIP: 34
• LoD: 19
• OZ: 17
• }D~A{: -9
• SFV: -34
• Legend: -37

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

2 months after the declaration: What changed?

Some random numbers (RASP vs World declaration => RASP vs Union now):

• 516 mil vs 1.139 mil => 420 mil vs 1.172 mil
• 50.909 villages vs 117.788 villages => 40.934 villages vs 120.313 villages
• 142 players vs 537 players => 69 players vs 463 players
• 781 mil ODA vs 1139 mil ODA => 954 mil ODA vs 1265 mil ODA

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.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Top Tribes: evolution during last month

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!

Player of the Week: HCTP

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
