Jeremy Leite: Hello readers. I’m here with BlazingRAGE1386, a recent addition to the T.D.E lineup who moved over when NOB!! and ~RAID~ merged into A-21.
Welcome Blazing, and thanks for agreeing to this interview.
I would like to start off by letting the readers know a little bit more about you and your history on w39. Would you mind sharing a bit of your TW past with us?
BlazingRAGE1386: Yeah, W39 is one and only world that I play on! I remember when I first started this world, having been brought to the game by the original redfernj. I had my one single village; my first experience was being wiped out by Southafrica2010. At the start I was very naive to the way Tribal Wars worked, thinking people would be intimidated by points. I learnt the hard way, and always learnt from my mistakes, making me stronger and wiser to the tactics involved in becoming a dominant player!
In the beginning redfernj was kind of a big brother to me, if I was in need of troops he was always around to help, especially when it looked for a second time that I may be taken out by GANG!, a tribe that surrounded me. redfernj (in LosT) not only supported me but sent mail that must have been very persuasive as it gained me an invite! As time progressed we battled ~ACID~, who were one of the best tribes at the time and gave us a great fight! Leadership became very quiet, ops became non-existent, and therefore it was time to move on. I love being in a tribe that has direction and strong leadership, I love being the soldier and being given orders to take a player out! This is when I joined up with my friend redfernj in LosT, where we took out quite a few tribes including AAGPR and their penis rocket!
For quite some time I grew within LosT, taking out the trash, fighting against SIKE with whom we had a large Eastern border. Eventually again leadership disappeared and the tribe had no direction, thus leading for us to join up with SolidJP90 in NOB!!. This brought about on and off fights with T.D.E, producing for myself success of 88 conquers to 10 losses. But as seems to be a reoccurring theme, the leadership fell, ops were not very well thought out and lead the tribe to very little success; as a result of this and being in contact with King Dragon, I learnt of how well run T.D.E was, how when ops were carried out they were always successful. I soon became very much drawn to wanting the tribe with realistic tactics and members that have the motto ‘all for one and one for all!’. I have grown from strength to strength within K67 and eventually K68 knowing how important having a solid core was. Now I look forward to the future within T.D.E – to growing, dominating and conquering World 39! Bring on the fun and games!
Jeremy Leite: How enthusiastic of you.
I guess this next question is rather redundant now, but I’ll ask it anyways: Why did you choose to move to T.D.E instead of to A-21 when RAID and NOB merged?
BlazingRAGE1386: Simple answer is that I knew how strong the leadership was and that T.D.E have members that will always fight no matter what! A-21, a little unknown but I know statistics speak for themselves, those that joined A-21 and didn’t come over to T.D.E did not put their all into the fight! To me that was not good enough. Also as leadership wasn’t brilliant in the end at NOB!, it would have been a game-ending move to go over to A-21. Don’t get me wrong I was a little worried about mine and my brother’s location when I joined T.D.E, but King Dragon reassured me that losses would be temporary and that the tribe would support us till the end. And it does look like the losses were temporary, I lost a few villages in K86 that I could never defend so was happy they went, but then the troops came out to play and I have had fun taking on A-21 and ripping them up!
Jeremy Leite: Speaking of ripping up A-21, you have been doing quite well so far against them in the war (currently up 53 villages); however, some of the other people who went to T.D.E haven’t been doing so well (SolidJP90 -37, kevinlobo1387 -77, juayfai -143). Why do you think you have fared so much better than these players so far?
BlazingRAGE1386: Location is quite a big factor! Although I have a few players around me, the only real threats I have tried to demoralize, and this has worked extremely well. Big Brother House was the main player trying to attack, he tried to conceal his true objectives and the location of villages he had his eye on; luckily for me due to a high amount of activity I was able to pinpoint every village he was after, and thanks to support from T.D.E members the villages were fortified! Juayfai really had no chance, completely surrounded by A-21 and they were inevitably lost! SolidJP90 has lost quite a few villages but in comparison with the amount he has been attacked it is very little, and with some help, he has been able to keep losses very low! kevinlobo1387 villages were a little bit too scattered, making for a tough defense!
But having said that they have lost the villages, they can all be taken back and they will within time. Obviously juayfai’s villages may take a little longer but eventually they will land in the right hands!
Jeremy Leite: Good to see such confidence in your tribe.
Well this is obviously a busy time for you, so I’ll let you get back to the game. Thanks for letting me interview you, and giving us an opportunity to know a bit more about you!
Best of luck on the battlefield.
BlazingRAGE1386: Thanks, talking of getting back to the game I may have a few more A-21 villages by the morning, best get my nobles warmed up.
Hello w39ers, how nice to see you all again. My my, there were lots of changes while I was on vacation. In this edition, we’ll explore these changes, and speak to some of the people that made them happen.
To speak with us about the war as seen through his eyes, here is the Duke of T.D.E, King Dragon:
This week I spoke to BlazingRAGE1386, who is currently ranked 11th in the world with 989 villages and 9.841.026 points.
