W40 Weekly Paper

[Kuchiki Senbonzakura]

Hey Boys and Girls.

The start of world 40 was an interesting one, with Alot of players joining due to the New features inwhich the TW team had offered the players, Immediatly Tribes were formed which appeared the Be mass recruiting to the Top, and there among the ranks of the tribes New tribes appeared which were supposedly the better tribes of the world, And along with theese tribes came people with no PWP.

I have decided to take the time to create a newsletter sinse everything else being posted is boring. I would ask that for the time being if you have any questions/comments or concerns for the newsletter you contact me.

Weekly Newsletters have been included below for archiving purposes.

Interview with Sp.aG-Leader Iban

kuchiki: Hello sp.ag, and thank you for taking time out of your day to answer these questions for me!

Sp.aG: Thank you for your time also

kuchiki: Now, how long have you been playing Tribalwars to date? And what interesting figures have you met across your time playing that have followed you to this world?

Sp.aG: I have played since the early days of w1, so thats 2006, i didnt really pay attention to much of the more complicated things such as public forums, however when i started to take the game a little more serious, i suppose ill thank Kv for takingme under his wing so to speak, he was the first player who showed me what to really do, and on the funny side not to do, with his rep and all,

Sp.aG: I have worked along side many others, such as Thar, Openeye and spoke to others along the way but have mainly built up things on others faults

kuchiki: so who actualy revealed tw to you or how did you find it?

Sp.aG: All started from my old ICT class, a few RL mates played early w1, you know how it goes, you get bored of doing class work and put it off, i picked up Tw from them and just continued to play it more, and go into the community etc..and here i am now.

kuchiki: cool. what gave you the idea to use this name and what do you find appealling about it, also what does it stand for?

Sp.aG: Well, thats a question everyone would like an answer to, first off, sp.ag was actually ment to be spug but that was taken, i got the name off a person within the band Mudvayne, so no for those others who think it stands for spelling, punc and grammer. the dot between the name was just me trying to be a bit different i suppose. there isnt anything else to it. however sp.ag was not the name

Sp.aG: i orginally started with

kuchiki: What do you expect for the next month or so of this world? And how do you think Ibad will play into things?

Sp.aG: Ibad? IBAN love ;P, and The next month or so, i dont really pay much attention to anything else but my own tribe, as its known that things will change, IBAN however, i know what we want to do, and thats for us to focus and work on, its not a hidden secret what kind of players we have, i will just take things a step at a time i suppose,

Sp.aG: But i do hope to see IBAN as a political power

kuchiki: Ah I see, so are there any special enemies out there? And how do you feel you will adapt
when BP is over?

Sp.aG: I dont have anyone in mind, Ofcourse i have my own personal dislikes but thats not for me to get IBAN involved in as a whole, i think once BP is over we can dish out and handle and get a feel to a few things, having the majoirty of the tribe play a previous church world we have a slight advantage over certain things.

kuchiki: How do you find the speed on this world? Do you think that the "1" speed is just about right or would you prefer something a bit quicker say, 1.5 or 2? What type of speed do you believe you benefit from the most? (without giving away too much information!)

Sp.aG: It Varies, I dont hate any kind of settings apart from tribe limits, i am not one of those players who needs ot have a low member count to try and make themselves look "elite" i just dislike 150 member counts, speed however for me personally isnt a problem, ill play any kind of speed

kuchiki: The following few questions will be a little to early to asnwer but have a go at them. So if there is one tribe who, without any interference from others you could war, who would it be? (feel free not to answer)

Sp.aG: Hmmmmm, i think just for the fun of it, or a bit of a challenge, i cant really judge yet, but just becuase we are mates would have to be h0llys tribe once he joins, (i know his location) and a war would be a pretty fun thing to happen, apart from that, if a war comes up it comes up, ill deal with it on the chin

kuchiki: If you could tip any tribe to win this world (not including Iban) who would it be?

Sp.aG: Hard call, as tribes change, i wouldnt like to put my finger on any tribes, hard call so i cant really comment. the tribe i do like though is Marcus's tribe, got the likes of CD who given the chance i would of stolen off him, quality members,

kuchiki: Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions for me!

Sp.aG: Your welcome

Interview with H0llygh0st-Leader APATHY
<Kuchiki> Hello H0lly, and thank you for taking time out of your day to answer these questions for me!

<h0llygh0st> Hi there!
* h0llygh0st waves
<h0llygh0st> Np at all Kuchiki.
<h0llygh0st> I'm happy to be a part of the W40 forum community
<h0llygh0st> I shouldnt have drank all that red bull lol, Ok I'll try and be normal now.

<Kuchiki> Now, how long have you been playing Tribalwars to date? And what interesting figures have you met across your time playing that have followed you to this world?

<h0llygh0st> Well I've been playing TW since October 2006
<h0llygh0st> I played in lots of worlds such as W2, W6, W8, W10, W12, etc...
<h0llygh0st> Because of that I've met all kinds of players, such as Thargoran, Jamm, Russki, and more...
<h0llygh0st> I've been in tribes led by Openeye, Allyboo/Lizy and other famous leadersq
<h0llygh0st> ut I met the most prominent figures of this communiy by becoming a mod
<h0llygh0st> But*
<h0llygh0st> But not many players have followed me to this world.
<h0llygh0st> I suspect its because I did'nt ask anyoen to, and because W41 has 'better' settings according to thelm
<h0llygh0st> Players such as Dark Chaos, and Big Dave who I see as friends wanted to join my tribe but chose for W41 after finding out the settings

<Kuchiki> so who actualy revealed tw to you or how did you find it?

<h0llygh0st> That would have been one of my RL friends. A guy called Pacmano, he quit a year or more ago though.
<h0llygh0st> We first played Travian which was rather dull
<h0llygh0st> and than he talked about this other game where he had 100's of spears... Which sounded awesome to me
<h0llygh0st> so I chose to play that game instead. And I got hooked

<Kuchiki> cool. what gave you the idea to use this name and what do you find appealling about it, also what does it stand for?

<h0llygh0st> The name simply comes from a book I once read about a girl who was attacked by monsters and a hacker finding out about it by reading trough her pc. That hacker was named HolLyGhOsT or something like that
<h0llygh0st> I tried using that name on Runescape 6 or more years ago btu it was taken
<h0llygh0st> so I replaced the O's with 0's and used this name.
<h0llygh0st> Which I've used ever since

<Kuchiki> I understand that your the creator of APATHY. Where do you hope to see APATHY in the coming months

<h0llygh0st> I hope to see Apathy as a growing rimtribe, not to many members but definetely dominant over the SE rim
<h0llygh0st> I'm aiming for about 30 members in the beginning few months, and maybe a few more after nobling has really started
<h0llygh0st> But since this world is growing so slowly my players are packed much closer togetehr than expected...
<h0llygh0st> If the world keeps growing at this rate I'll probably end up having a tribe in a bananashape...
<h0llygh0st> i'm still recruiting troug hthe forum you see, since I myself am only a few hours away from the rim =/

<Kuchiki> I see. So are there any enemies out there or trbes for you to keep an eye on?

<h0llygh0st> IBAN is definetely the tribe to look out for. Its also in the SE (Although in the core area) and I'm betting that it might plan to expand otuwards, troughout the rim...
<h0llygh0st> But I dont see any enemies yet, its to early for that
<h0llygh0st> Although some noobtribe did declare on us... only to offer me res a day later to apologise

<Kuchiki> Overall what do you expect for the next month or so of this world? And how do you think APATHY will play into things?

<h0llygh0st> I expect almost all the top 20 tribes to fall, and several new tribes who have been under the radar to rise.
<h0llygh0st> Omega for example has a few strong members, although I do expect they have more under alias and perhaps their leader as well since i dont recognise him. But I think they could some nice things.
<h0llygh0st> Apathy will be growing on the rim, but since we all staretd later we wont break the top 50 just yet
<h0llygh0st> I'm hoping to go by unnoticed but I'm pretty sure me and my big mouth wont allow that to happen =/

<Kuchiki> so how are you coping now that BP is over?

<h0llygh0st> I myself as a player am doing quite well. Being the 'biggest' player in my 15x15 and all...
<h0llygh0st> But some of my members did run into difficulties such as spikes
<h0llygh0st> Which is ratehr unfortunate... But inevitable I guess
<h0llygh0st> The flow of possible recruits also slowed down for now
<h0llygh0st> Although i'm sure that some more advertisement trough my sig can attract new peopel

<Kuchiki> If you could tip any tribe to stay in the top ten besides APATHY who would it be?

<h0llygh0st> Hmm... The only tribe I really like so far is IBAN. Although I might be biased since a lot of my friends are in it.

<h0llygh0st> I'd chose IBAN though, just because its Sp.Ag's last world ;)
<h0llygh0st> I want him to do well. :D

<Kuchiki> Why didnt you join iban, I mean you were the baron of the original one?

Because I did'nt find out about it untill after I decided to make my own tribe.
Nobody apparently bothered to tell me although Me and Sp.Ag agreed on making a remake once in the future. I guess they thought I'd find out by myself or that someoen else would tell me.

Either way I announced I was making Apathy and I could'nt back out of it. So sorry IBAN but here I am.

<Kuchiki> Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions for me!

<h0llygh0st> No problem Kuchiki.
<h0llygh0st> I hope to read this interview soon in the W40 PnP
<h0llygh0st> Now if you'll excuse me I'll go and crawl in to my bed ;)
<h0llygh0st> Goodnight!

Interview with Iban you-Rank 3 player
Kuchiki Senbonzakura
Hello iban you, and thank you for taking time out of your day to answer these questions for me!

iBan you
No problem

Kuchiki Senbonzakura
I might as well start with the obvious, a little about you as a person. Do you have a premium account? If so how does this benefit the way you play the game?

iBan you
O yes I use a premium. It makes farming sooo much easier by seeing if the village is/nt dry. The grouping system (for more than 10+ villages) is also one of my favorites. It symplifies gameplay so you can focus on attacking and supporting.

Kuchiki Senbonzakura
How long have you been playing this game, and what do you believe has kept you playing for so long?

iBan you
I have been playing for close to 2 and a half years now. Why do I still play? Game play is addicting, the people I have met are interesting and have different views and backgrounds, the politics and forums are great, when you actually form a real bond with your tribe and succeed in a world. Its all fun

Kuchiki Senbonzakura
And in that time period what interesting figures have you met across your time playing that have followed you to this world?

iBan you
Well good ol spaggy is one of them. That nubcake worshiped me in w10 IBAN, he invited me to w14 and we ruled
Other noobs from w14: mm76, h0lly, anSTD, crazydante, and maybe one or 2 i fotgot. Last app was w 19 or 23 i believe.

But many people in IBAN w40 I met recently met in the remake of Kiwi.

Kuchiki Senbonzakura
If you could pick any particular player to play the game with, who would it be and why?

iBan you
In the early game it would have to be Sp.ag. He always seems to find these characters that follow him from world to world. Makes the start up fun.

In late game, either Shardsofafrozenflame : because she is so active and fun to talk to, or crazydante : we would be going back and forth with rank 1 spot

Kuchiki Senbonzakura
What has been your favourite Tribalwars world you have played on to date and why?

iBan you
Ahhh well I would say w10, but the was too short of a time period. So world 6 was my fav. This was the world I started a noob and came out a pretty good player. And since it introduced new settings, it was pacted with awsome players and legendary tribes. And lastly, it was my first rank 1 tribe.

Kuchiki Senbonzakura
who actualy revealed tw to you or how did you find it?

iBan you
My rl friend Uncle-Ruckus. He was in TW, now Dvader, and told me it was pretty fun.

Kuchiki Senbonzakura
what gave you the idea to use this name and what do you find appealling about it, also what does it stand for?

iBan you
O, well Nima Unknown wanted to coplay with me so I just made a new account name right off the top of my head :P

And basically it has no meaning, just goes with the tribe name.

Kuchiki Senbonzakura
speakin of Iban how did you meet and why Iban?

iBan you
Well, because of my friend Uncle-Ruckus being in TW, he got me in a rather famous w8 tribe, Clorox. And from Clorox I met some people who wanted to start a new tribe on w10 because of the new settings.

Kuchiki Senbonzakura
I see. Having been rank 1 in points also in ODA I understand you have a tight shedule for tw, Without giving too much information what is your secret to a speedy rise?

iBan you
Activity. Pretty much in the core, early on, having a night sitter helps, esp if you like to sleep. Also just knowing when your troops come back from farming. It only takes 10 sec to send an attack, so theoretically you only need to be online for under an hour to farm and send attacks for a day.

Kuchiki Senbonzakura
So are there any enemies out there or trbes for you to keep an eye on?

iBan you
Not in k55. We have had 1 or 2 spies in there, not any now, but they seem pretty nooby. I have 6 attacks on me now, all I can dodge because rams werent used. Im sure some day someone will step up to the plate, but not for awhile.

Kuchiki Senbonzakura
Overall what do you expect for the next month or so of this world? And where do you see your self to be in that time?

iBan you
Well the next month will be tribes trying to bring down the great IBAN and nobles coming out. Myself? well I will be enjoying some very high point, low ODA, players in my general area to noble and reclaim the #1 rank.

Kuchiki Senbonzakura
so how are you coping now that BP is over? Is your gameplay better or going down hill?

iBan you
Its actually starting to decline, the barbs arent growing fast enough, the players are all Turtling so that means clearing them cost troops which cost reasources which slows my growth.

Kuchiki Senbonzakura
Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions for me!

iBan you
Lol np. :P

Interview with .War. Leader of Kata
<Kuchiki> Hello .War., and thank you for taking time out of your day to answer these questions for me!

<War|Kata> Hello, it is a pleasure to be interviewed. Thank you for taking the time to interview me, I'm sure my neighbors appreciate the time I'm taking out of game to respond

<Kuchiki> Great. Now, how long have you been playing Tribalwars to date? And what interesting figures have you met across your time playing that have followed you to this world?

<War|Kata> I've been playing Tribalwars since October of 2008. During my time in-game, I've met a lot of number 1 players: CrazyDante/Jasmine, Ghosttoy from W23, some members in elite premades like DSL, and also I've met many a famous spammer like Wickerman

<War|Kata> I am friends with the leaders of several top W23 tribes like Haziko, Hackster

<War|Kata> Several of these players are with us in Kata right now, but I won't spoil the surpise just yet

<Kuchiki> Has your past experience or the famous figures that you have met helped improve your gameplay or knowledge of the game?

<War|Kata> When I first joined W23, I was growing at a meteoric rate on the rim. A player became very angry and told Dreambrothers this, and they subsequently listed me as PA. Having the #1 player in the world as your PA tends to go far for reputation.

<War|Kata> I tried to model my playstyle initally off of the famous people I'd met on W23 - I wanted to be aggressive, diplomatic, fear-inspiring, and successful

<Kuchiki> so who actualy revealed tw to you or how did you find it?

<War|Kata> Me finding TW was a bit of luck to be honest. I stumbled across it while in school one day (I'm in law school and we bring our laptops daily). While my classmates are learning about contracts, I'm learning about how to backtime, and send opera trains back in October haha.

<Kuchiki> cool. what gave you the idea to use this name and what do you find appealling about it, also what does it stand for?

<War|Kata> I am part of a group known as the Four Horsemen. We are War, Pestilence, Famine and Death. The inspiration was the Seven Dwarves from W23; I thought it was a cool concept, and they are all fantastic players.

<War|Kata> The four horsemen are based off the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in the book of revelation.

<Kuchiki> I understand that your the creator of Kata. Where do you hope to see Kata in the coming months

<War|Kata> I would like to see Kata #1 in ODA, nobles per day, and public perception. I believe those are the true measures of a top-tribe; being aggressive and respected.

<War|Kata> But I also hope to see Kata living in the villages of our enemies in the next few months, we need new places to have fun.

<Kuchiki> What is your style for leading a tribe; your tribe leadership style. and what do you believe will be the key to your sucess?

<War|Kata> My leadership style is to make sure that each decision I make has been analyzed and is not something done spur of the moment. My job is to make sure our members work together effectively, our enemies learn the hard way we are not to be trifled with, and people on the fence understand that even if we aren't liked, we are worthy of respect - we want to earn that.

<War|Kata> I believe the key to our success will be our strong core of members that we have. We have many members who are former #1's in points, or ODA, or part of top tribes. My job now is to keep us all on course to the same destination - success.

<Kuchiki> I see. So are there any enemies out there or trbes for you to keep an eye on?

<War|Kata> I've not identified any tribe as an enemy yet. For now, there are certainly tribes I respect - I won't list any as I don't want people to think my list is exclusive. For now its basically Kata farming bad tribes. True enemies will pop up around noble time when someone makes a stupid mistake.

<War|Kata> Until then, we will keep farming our area, and be ready for the first war(s) that pop up.

<Kuchiki> Overall what do you expect for the next month or so of this world? And how do you think Kata will play into things?

<War|Kata> I believe in the next month we will see mass-recruiting/family tribes be dissolved (or at least that's my hope). I believe Kata is situated in a very good place in the core and we have influence in outlying K's. If we find a strong ally I believe we can mold the core to our liking

<Kuchiki> and how has BP effected you and Kata?

<War|Kata> BP wasn't an issue for me at all, nor do I believe it has affected our tribe; at least I've heard no complaints. The one thing that did have a negative impact was when the World settings on W40 were incorrectly implemented and people were spiking barbs / supporting players outside of tribe. That slowed my inital growth very hard, and I am still a bit behind of where I want to be. I know a lot of Kata members endured spiking for the first we

<Kuchiki> If you could tip any tribe to dominate this world besides Kata who would it be?

<War|Kata> Based on member count and positioning I'd have to say Iban. There are a few other tribes (Hell, Squad, iAlone, Apathy) that can have strong influence, but I'm not sure they are situated in the best fashion for world domination.

<War|Kata> Anyone could rise up from the ashes of war, or a merger, but for now, that's who I'd go with. That isn't a slight to anyone else, that's just who I'm familar with at this point. I have a lot of learning and conversations to have with other tribes.

<Kuchiki> What made you create Kata on w40?

<War|Kata> I had grown tired of playing on W23. Rising noble costs, bad positioning long-term on the rim, and being landlocked made it boring. I took the best players I knew who were available, and we decided to roll as a pre-made on W40 or W41. Ultimately I believe the W40 settings are much more skill friendly, even though I'm not the biggest fan of the church. The 60 tribe limit is perfect, and the no support out of tribe option is great (when impl

<War|Kata> We've since picked up very capable members outside of our pre-made from other tribes, and I'm very happy to have them on-board as they have proven to be excellent so far.

<Kuchiki> to finish what is your vision for the future?

<War|Kata> My vision of the future is of Kata and whoever our ally(allies end up being) standing on top of the post-apocalyptic rubble that is the destruction of all of our enemies and everyone they care for. How's that for dramatic?

<Kuchiki> Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions for me!

<War|Kata> I appreciate the interview, and look forward to reading more. I
believe you've done an excellent job so far and are a credit to your tribe. Thank you.

<War|Kata> Thanks, a lot. Cya.

Week 5

Spoiler:

<Kuchiki>Hello Praggers, and thank you for taking time out of your day to answer these questions for me!
<praggers> just like to begin by saying you new sig looks great did you make it
<Kuchiki> yes I did
<praggers> well it is a nice sig and you should come hang out with all us CFX designers
<Kuchiki> Now, how long have you been playing Tribalwars to date? And what interesting figures have you met across your times playing that have followed you to this world?
<praggers> ok well been playing around two years and as I yet imp still learning new stuff, but I have quite all my pervious worlds and am just concentrating on this world, I’m not a girl cant multi task loll
<Kuchiki> Has your past experience or the famous figures that you have met helped improve your game play or knowledge of the game?
<praggers> most defiantly I learnt from two guys that have played for many seasons. I learnt loads from them and showed me the ropes it’s good to become friends with experienced players as you pick the game up allot quicker
<Kuchiki> so who actually revealed tw to you or how did you find it?
<praggers> well I was feed up of buying rubbish pc games, so I searched a found this one and for all you out there imp an addict, there is only one other game that comes close battlefield heroes.
<Kuchiki> cool. what gave you the idea to use this name and what do you find appealing about it, also what does it stand for?
<praggers> ok well my second name is Pragnell and all my friends call me praggers (yes KATA I do have friends)
<Kuchiki> Now the interview really begins. This involves allot of had questions so I recommend a sweat TOWEL. Now out of everyone in the w40 community why do you think I picked you?
<praggers> maybe because I am most hated LOL!!!
<Kuchiki> A decent answer please
<praggers> Ok well is it because I have managed to get two tribes in the top 10 ranked in the world
<Kuchiki> I won’t tell you why but, There are allot of mixed feelings on the forums about you, why do you think that is, I mean you yourself said you were the most hated, why may that be?
<praggers> its because I liked to get noticed and I like a bit of competition, every world I have played in I never get attacked and for this to happen I need to cause some hated between tribes, I feel this helps to really get the game going.
<praggers> sorry about the spelling seems that this keyboard has lagged
<Kuchiki> I see and what made you leave such an overrated tribe, LOST?
<praggers> well as I you all no I did get kicked, this is because of one player not mentioning any names, but at least me and the duke Dad666 left on good terms and I would like in the future of this world to make that bound stronger, we still converse on Skype
<Kuchiki> and you say you managed to get two tribes in the top ten, I understand LOST but how did you get SQUAD there I mean you are not mentioned on their profile? What privileges do you have there?
<praggers> I do not have any prigs as it has been mentioned that I tried to take LOST away from dad666 so I opted out of any privileges in SQUAD just to prove that I didn’t need any to help out a tribe and I must say SQUAD has been made by a few members not just me as where with LOST I done it mostly myself. I’m am known by allot of people as a tribe Doctor I help tribes that need a little push
<Kuchiki> You tried taking LOST away from dad666?
<praggers> I would not like to comment on that it’s between me and dad665 and if I was to tell you it would mess with future plans
<praggers> I and dad666 have played together for a few months and nothing can get in the way of our game plan
<Kuchiki> I see, are there any enemies out there for you to keep an eye on?
<praggers> yes there are iban are now taking a slight back seat as they do not need to prove anything and imp pretty sure they will go the long haul which imp glad about, it’s a shame to see that they allied with KATA I guess they just wanted a bit of glory to
<Kuchiki> Overall what do you expect for the next month or so of this world?
<praggers> I would like to see what tribe does the first merge as this always seems to happen (imp not a great fan of this) I have my idea who will do it first but if it happens will mess this whole world up and I would have to do some pretty drastic actions to keep up
<Kuchiki> How do you think SQUAD will play into the future vision of the world?
<praggers> well I hope that they succeed, they should do they got some great players not mentioning any name 27 million men. this tribe seems to know what they are doing and we are all helping each other new stuff like scripts and sig making as a lot of our members are addicts to. I like this as it gives me people to talk to as I spend allot of time on this game
<Kuchiki> If you could tip any tribe to dominate this world besides SQUAD who would it is?
<praggers> hard to say there are allot of big tribes out there haven’t seen so many big tribes like this in one world before, but I will say that iban may go the distance
<Kuchiki> Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions for me!
<praggers> That no problem and I hope people see me in a new light

Kuchiki: Hello -Alias-, and thank you for taking time out of your day to answer these questions for me!
-Alias- (Jay): No problem it should be fun
Kuchiki: Great. Now, how long have you been playing Tribalwars to date? And what interesting figures have you met across your times playing that have followed you to this world?
-Alias- (Jay): Well I have been playing TW for about 2yrs off and on. My first world was w7.
-Alias- (Jay): I have met a lot of cool people along the way such as Wall, Lazarus,Azz7, Bell, and Crim. played with a few greats such as purple predator and pervis. My favourite though is Smexysmexy (carrie)
-Alias- (Jay): no one followed me here though .Just kind of joined for spag
Kuchiki: Has your past experience or the famous figures that you have met helped improve your game play or knowledge of the game?
-Alias- (Jay): Yeah defiantly without the people I’ve mentioned above I wouldn’t be half the player I am now. The world I learned most of my knowledge though was in w20 where Duff taught me a lot about the game. But always played Tw for the people I met not the skill I possessed
-Alias- (Jay): Although it helps being good
Kuchiki: Now something that intrigues me is your name, I mean Alias is a common term but what made you choose it, what does it stand for?
-Alias- (Jay): Well I like to change my name up every world I play, and well I ran out of names in w33 so I had to think of a new Alias…. So I came to this name
-Alias- (Jay): Not to creative but it works

Kuchiki: Now I see there seems to be a lot of mixed feelings towards you on the forums, can you perhaps let me in on why you think this is?
-Alias- (Jay): ha-ha I hadn’t noticed. I guess sometimes I can be a little egocentric but it’s all for the fun of it. Just don’t make a dumb post and I won’t nail you
Kuchiki: how or who revealed Tribalwars to you?
-Alias- (Jay): Lazarus actually revealed the game to me a few years back, and I got addicted to it. I hate him every day for it this game has caused many sleepless nights .
Kuchiki: I understand you are the current baron for IBAN, how I may ask is how you got to that position, was it that you simply showed promise and were chosen after being a simple recruit or that you knew spaggy from a while back and were offered the position during the main recruitment stage of the tribe?
-Alias- (Jay): Well I was meant to just play as a normal member in iBan not in a leadership position, but the other baron went inactive so Sp.ag came to me. I was a bit surprised at the offer since I only new sp.ag for a few short months while planning against tribes in w33 (world we met), but he needed the help so I was more than happy to help.
Kuchiki: I see. Well you are currently rank 2 in Opponents defeated Total:
2 -Alias- 62.800
Kuchiki: Now has being the baron of IBAN effected your OD situation, do you think it has encouraged or frightened players and the current situation with the tribe do you feel it has helped your OD therefore has your OD helped you game performance or is it that you planed to only look at OD rankings?

-Alias- (Jay): Threes a lot of bad blood between me and LOST/MSA from past worlds and here so I think that may have been why I was targeted. I defiantly feel it has helped my OD but I’d rather have had a little less. There was a few stacks I hit I wasn’t expecting but I still came out on top. And I’m not aiming for high OD it just happens I will be rank one soon though
Kuchiki: Ah I see, so are there any special enemies out there? being currently in a war you can mention the tribes but is there a rivalry between you and someone else that may have originated from your past and followed you to this world?
-Alias- (Jay): Nope I never hold a grudge, and I don’t believe anyone is gunning for me,, but if they are I’m waiting
Kuchiki: How do you find the speed on this world? Do you think that the “1″ speed is just about right or would you prefer something a bit quicker say, 1.5 or 2? What type of speed do you believe you benefit from the most? (without giving away too much information!)
-Alias- (Jay): Well Speed 1 is good but I actually prefer speed .5 because it allows me to keep my social life a bit more I don’t need to log in all the time and can keep quest going a lot easier.
Kuchiki: Overall what do you expect for the next month or so of this world? And how do you think IBAN will play into things?
-Alias- (Jay): Well I think you’re going to see a lot of merging and a lot of tribes rise up that are not as well known such as odessa. iBan has a rough future do to the current wars but we will prevail and I think it will be easy sailing from there.
Kuchiki: If you could tip any tribe to win this world (not including IBAN) that would it be?
Kuchiki: Why?

-Alias- (Jay): Not going to say Kata because I feel it would be biased because I have good relations with a few of those guys, but I think Hell will go along we. They have been coasting under the radar for such a good tribe.
Kuchiki: What made you join w40 instead of w41 and what made you join IBAN?
-Alias- (Jay): hehe I actually joined w41, but didn’t like it so I stuck with w40. The real reason I joined iBan though is a lot of people that I know and respect joined this tribe such as moneyman,Nima uknown, Crim, Bell, Azz, sp.ag, and quite a few others so it was a good fit.
-Alias- (Jay): I’d rather play with average players who have chemistry then great players who don’t talk. And that what iBan is it’s a well balanced tribe
Kuchiki: Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions for me!
-Alias- (Jay): No problem it’s been fun
-Alias- (Jay): Thanks for the interview

Week 7

Interview

Kuchiki: Hello MrLove, and thank you for taking time out of your day to answer these questions for me!
MrLove: No, Problem


Kuchiki: Great. Now, how long have you been playing Tribalwars to date? And what interesting figures have you met across your times playing that have followed you to this world?


MrLove: Ok, I used to play Wow. Had a addiction, when I stopped playing that I found this amazing online game Tribal Wars. Well, I was a noob in 2007, And Rimed the world I joined. But I met some interesting people. They were the days when who? Were dominating tribe’s. Well that year I also had my first child, so I forgot about TW until 2008. This is when I discovered the art of TW, The forums of TW. I have always been good at numbers, and this game was like playing chess and being a politician! Anyway, this year I met h0llygh0st and decided to join in Apathy. I have made good progress there with h0lly, and now I have also been selected for Nima’s W2 .Co.Uk which I’m looking forward to Appling my trade. Sorry for the essay, I could go on all day.


Kuchiki: Has your past experience or the famous figures that you have met helped improve your game play or knowledge of the game?


MrLove: Yes, of course. I would never have started using the forum’s as a form of propaganda, my timing and calculation skills, Sniping, Back timing I have learned from people.
MrLove: I even remember a girl telling me how to use scripts:|
MrLove: Some of the best player’s I have met have also been girl’s…


Kuchiki: MrLove is an interesting name; can you tell me where it originated from and why you chose this name?


MrLove: Well, I wanted to choose a name that was catching ad had a theme. MrLove was the name that my brain discovered that afternoon. My new name I Iz Trollin, Will be .Co.Uk Alias, and a alias I can relate to and has meaning. I am a Troll, and I have a loud mouth.


Kuchiki: Now I see there seems to be a lot of mixed feelings towards you on the forums, can you perhaps let me in on why you think this is?


MrLove: It’s not mixed feelings, It apathic feeln’s. I belong to a tribe who I say is being noob banged. We only have 23 members, but so many tribe’s want to hurt us
MrLove: I devote my feelings on the forum’s, Where I get flamed or loved.
MrLove: I have no care, or what people feel towards me, I have utter devotion towards my tribe. If people were nicer to us we could be friends ya know?
MrLove: And any way, we provoke people to attack, the reason’s for this is darwin’s theory of evolution.
MrLove: Only the best will survive, And through this minor selection we can tell who has the ball’s to be in Apathy, and who lied through their teeth in application stage.


Kuchiki: What is your position for in APATHY, are you a normal member or do you have some other role to play in APATHY?


MrLove: I work alongside h0llsh0st, I’m what you say a baron in term’s.


Kuchiki: So why APATHY? Did you join before hand and then never made another thought about it or was it that h0llyghost was leading, why?


MrLove: Ok, I hate family tribe’s, Sister tribe’s. Mass – Recruiting point whore’s.
MrLove: I have a very aggressive style, And I hate villa around me that belong to us.
MrLove: h0llygh0st I started with from the start. I made sure I was next to him by luck I believe. Had to restart once.
MrLove: But, all in all, H0llygh0st was the biggest influence in my decision.


Kuchiki: So why is that you made sure you were with h0lly is it so that you could work together, quick income when needed or is he a good influence, or is it a little friendly rivalry?


MrLove: It’s why we don’t care, We have 3 players in are triangle. Me, h0llygh0st and Cory. It’s a foundation. And ‘No’ it’s not rivalry we work together. That is the most important thing. It’s always nice to work with a player that understands you that you can rely on. If it’s sitting, Sending joint train’s. Clearance’s etc.


Kuchiki: Ah I see, so are there any special enemies out there? being currently in a war you can mention the tribes but is there a rivalry between you and someone else that may have originated from your past and followed you to this world?


MrLove: Nop, I have no enemies. Everyone who has a problem with me I invite you to attack. I do not see us at war, We move to the best villa’s we can find. If that cause’s a issue then I’m sorry. There’s allot of people out there who mock us, and think we are a joke. But really, they wish they could be just like us.


Kuchiki: How do you find the speed on this world? Do you think that the “1″ speed is just about right or would you prefer something a bit quicker say, 1.5 or 2? What type of speed do you believe you benefit from the most? (without giving away too much information!)


MrLove: Speed is not a issue, You will find me the most active player around. But I have to admit, Speed 1 is the best. But I have grown to hate pally weapons this last week. I’m still having dream’s now of that bonfire…..


Kuchiki: Overall what do you expect for the next month or so of this world? And how do you think IBAN will play into things?


MrLove: I expect to be gang banged. I have learned from Boxxy that you only become a true TW player if you get a villa down to 300 points
MrLove: iBan, I have high hopes for, Thing’s will settle down. And I hope to see them exceed their expectation.


Kuchiki: If you could tip any tribe to win this world (not including IBAN) that would it is?
and Why?


MrLove: That’s a hard one. I will think for 2 mins…
MrLove: I can only say Apathy, With the right move’s and organization. I like the look of JOUST also. I have respect for any tribe that keep’s to less than 40 members.


Kuchiki: What made you join w40 instead of w41 and what made you join apathy?


MrLove: Ok, w41 I hate the settings. Speed 1.6x is not for me. I don’t really like the smithy settings.
MrLove: And this is my first church world, so it’s a learning curve.


Kuchiki: Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions for me!


MrLove: That’s no problem.

Nima Unknown: hmm. i started playing TW the day world 5 started in .netWorld 8 was one of the most interesting worlds for me. i created a mass recruiting tribe there. we came up to rank 5 and it was a decent tribe. after a while we merged into REL that was a part of bloc alliance there
i made a lot of friends and almost no enemies in the worlds i played and i turned into an ok player after a while.
world 40 i was Rank1 ODA1. after a while, i got bored and decided to leave that world. .co.uk server catched my attention and it was close to w2’s start there. i tried to find a premade to join but none of them satisfied me to be honest. so i decided to make my own premade
