K85 - Land of Sday03
From a young, 1 village master, it had always been 'alive' way down in K85... To tell the story of how it became to be today; I must tell ye my own...
Since small and vulnerable, I quickly came to realize the benefit of dominating my 7x7 - few barbs offered little resources (never enough) and it became obvious i must venture out to the hunt of active players and acquire their resources. Still fairly new to the game, I took the step up to clearing and farming the players around me, leaving only those bigger. For a while, my 8 man tribe based in K77 ('Boros') was adequate for protection... But dawned it upon me, the growing number of tags being replicated around me made me once again vulnerable... Enter tribe: OKT. My first real tribe on this world, and to this date my favorite

After a masterful application, I was invited promptly. A quick scan of the map, boasted reassurance with my move, as i was all of a sudden surrounded by blue! OKT at the time was the #2 tribe in K85 at just under 500K points, with "TMD" rank 1, with 800K. (a big difference back then) With TMD also our best allies, I was free to grow big enough to noble my first village (a barb....).
OKT was a great tribe, we operated on an external forum - a very classy player made one. Mainly our exhibitions were against small tribes, and tribeless players, gaining ground and solidifying our main grounds in K85 - searching for that all important village to tip us over to rank #1... Later on OKT became a flourishing tribal family - it sectioned players by region and formed North, South, East and West wings. All centered though our shared forums. It worked well! Some players in OKT: sday03, duke eazy z, Tarquyn, strabrahide, BigDaddyG(r.i.p) and many more not here with us anymore.
One day sday03 saw an opportunity. a 3k village with no tribe... Armed with 2 villages 4k and 1k - sday03 saw, came and conquered, only to see an inbound noble from the top player in the K!!!!! Obive - 28k, Duke of "Ares" #3 tribe 800k (i think). I remember thinking holy Shiiiiiiiiiitachi mushroom!!!! I quickly threw everything i had into the village to kill the noble, which it did. Obive them proceeded to send an angry mail saying he claimed it, I stood my ground and lost my main village (lol) Thus sparking off the first war OKT had seen. OKT 1mil vs Ares 800k - we had advantages in numbers, but Ares had alot of the larger players in K85... We set ourselves for a bloody war...
The first few days proved bad news, I lost my only nuke trying to take back my lost village, and Obive had taken 2 villages off our members! I remember sending a "I really hope this takes the freakin' village" noble train at a village i guessed would be empty, as my old main village was to well defended for me to take. it took 12 hours to get there, and during that time Obive was beginning to crack... my hopes raised - and i took the village!!!!!
A - Operation Niagara Falls (531|838) K85 10,756 obive [Ares] sday03 [{OKT}S]
^ that was it! Obive was broken... I went on to take 3 more of his villages including the one i lost...! (yay) My and OKT's first victory...
A few clock revelations later... TMD grew unstable internally and collapsed... A sad day for many who'd been with them since the beginning. But a new super tribe was being brewed! |K||P| was born! Many of the original TMD players joined up and relations between OKT and KP grew strong very quickly - so strong infact, it was decided to merge and become the 1 tribe to rule K85 together.
The tribe had new goals now... K85 was conquered, only small tribes remained at the bottom of K85 that were quelled easily, one main expedition was "DSA" - a lone eagle tribe based at the top of K85/75 border, a few good players that made us break a few beads of sweat... The game was now about looking for new K's to habitate... First choice? K84... we had members in there already making good relationships with U-84 members and alike, especially as all of a sudden K85 wasn't as big as it felt in the beginning. Tribes like DNS (spit)

were not that far north of us. clusters were already forming in K85, and made us grow uncertain about our future. One step to strengthen us was the agreed merge of U-84 and KP! Enter: -F-U- a tribe now based in 2 K's with eyes only on the south....
-F-U- map (K85/84)
As you can see, the southern expansion was already underway... 1 particularly grueling war was with M-BURN. I decent sized tribe for its time, big enough to cause us to direct attention too. Needless to say, victory was inevitable, but perhaps took alittle longer than expected, our arrogence as a tribe proved to be a downfall in the upcoming event of the.. FU v SETO war! The declaration took us by surprise as we were greatly unprepared for it. the first few weeks showed us - organization was a much needed improvement. the sparking of the war is still argued so I wont go into it here

Invite played well and pretty much killed our Duke - 'El Pharaoh' The ending of the war is still hazy for me, not sure how it ended, but an NAP was agreed upon, I think some refugees were kicked out to please the unpleased INVITE... A shortwhile after, I was made Duke to replace the dead El Pharaoh. Only to face the toughest decision, to date... War SETO again for alliance with DNS, or join forces with SETO and SiouxR to war DNS. (some may dispute that, but: "no"). This proved to make alot of unhappy people, the formed U-84 members split from us, and formed BIA. At the time, i thought this would be the end for us. But DNS had there hands full, with the catalog of tribes also at war with them. K85, stood there ground, I ventured in K75 and before you know it, BIA were back with us again, breaking up K74. good times
-F-U-/F-U-N
The war went on for ages... During that phase, A:M were merged into us, creating what we knew as F:M! a new strong tribe, dominated alot of the south. K85, was still very INVITE busy, but DNS was cleansed from there, with dual effort, from us and INVITE.
Then something happened... which is still a hot topic... a collection of us are now in DNS. K85 is once again, a hosile territory. much like it was back in the day... I feel asif it has been a 'full circle' and i'm back to my K85 roots, in a sense. (I wont go on about it here, as its not what this post is for).
There shall be much more K85 goodness to come - Thank you K85!!!!!!!!
THE END.
