Two people have asked me the same question in a personal message. So, let me elaborate. For some, this will be long winded. Those that cannot read more than 100 words in a minute without getting a headache, please disregard this message.
The question abounds. Who am I in
World 2?
In the last twelve months, I have been given the keys to the realm of
ENTEL 2 (January 15, 2009). The people I am about to tell you about were major players. They were dominate in their realm before I arrived. They had been playing this game for almost three years before they either started deleting their accounts or simply stopped playing.
============================
With the assistance of
Manabouttown, I brought down
Sortland, at the time, he was ranked #1 in his continent. Even with
Manabouttown,
Sortland still owned 3 million points worth of more villages than the two of us. Naysayers will often say that
Sortland owned a continent (
K58) behind enemy lines and that his fall was inevitable. They are right. However, of all the adversaries I had faced since my retirement, none compare to the strategic mindset and tactical capabilities as
Sortland. Before I engaged him, he owned 11 million worth of villages. What does he have now? Eleven months later?
Zero.
Congo > Sortland
======================================
My second conquest was located in
K59. Hammering
Seraph Angelus, the
Queen of K59 and her little pesky assistant,
Wolfvale.
Seraph Angelus' powers was less strategic as it was her capacity to entice people to trust her more than their own tribe. She had numerous friends around her that were on the opposite side. She was ranked #1 in the continent.
Wolfvale was ranked #3. When I started attacking her, she attempted to communicate with me as well. I responded, but nothing materialized. She was confident of victory until the reports starting to come in. She then knew her time had come.
Wolfvale, her little love assistant, often sent co-ordinated attacks against me when I waged war against
Sortland. However, I did not fully engage him. He was hammered by other tribemates.
Within 8 days, both deleted their accounts.
Seraph Angelus was a 7 million point player while
Wolfvale was a 9 million point player.
Again, the naysayers will often say that these players owned a continent (
K59) behind enemy lines and that their fall was inevitable. And again, they are right.
======================================
My third accomplishment, (
which would turnout to be my zenith in popularity within my tribe and my greatest accomplishment this year) was turning my forces against
Steveeo, the
Gorgon of
K29. He was more than 100 hours away from my closest village. He was a monsterous 17 million point player with over 1,580 villages (
at the time I was a 6 million point player). A more formidable foe indeed.
He was known as a great defender and a survivalist. I was a third his size. A sure challenge indeed. He was as far away from getting assistance from any of his tribemates. However, he dominated. He owned
K29 few could ever claim better. Many of my tribemates shed any thoughts of attacking him. So, I knew I was on my own, at least for the first week or two I had to make an impact.
After the first reports came in, he must have noticed something different. Nine days later, he deletes his account. With his downfall, those fellow tribemates around him were left to seek shelter elsewhere.
Unuttum and
White Knights, once both significant powers in this region were eventually eaten up (
Unuttum survives only in his safezone of his tribe in the southwest region of the world). And despite the distance, I still managed 49 villages in my possession in this territory (when before I had none).
BlackScarab was my next target. However, I didn't even have to lift a finger. My tribemates were tripping over themselves to get in line with my campaigns. They know knew how I will lead them to victory and they wanted to be covered in that glory. I merely designed the operations. Inbound reports of
BlackScarab reveals villages with six figures worth of defenses (
approximately 70 villages). After a month, those villages were cleared and nobled. The greatest sensation for me was that I never had to assist. My tribemates stopped taking villages and started taking the Will of our opponents.
As with the previous players, the naysayers will often say that these players owned a continent (
K29) behind enemy lines and that their fall was inevitable. And again, they are right. But it took someone to step up and challenge these great giants. Hence, hence my self-title,
Congo, Crimson Mercenary-King, the Giant-Killer.
A few months later, the last great giant in the northeast (
Leckster) was removed from the area. This was yet another great achievement. It had nothing to do with me. SOmeone, inspired by my actions, set up an operation and suddenly we had people coming out of the woodwork.
It was a show. It felt bizarre. As if these children I had been raising suddenly had grown up. But it was more than that. It wasn't that it was great. It was also bitter sweet. I felt they no longer needed me. Despite this sensation, it was great to watch their effort turnout so successful. The tribe we had been fighting (
called TW) had us on our heels in late 2008. And now? Our whole northeast region is secured.
====================================
My eyes turned in the southeast. In the
K68 Region, we had little influence in the area.
HOT, our ally, was in the area, but they didn't have active members in that area. Our travel time was around 150+ hours. So we had to travel over the
HOT region just to hit our targets. A great and potentially morale crushing feat. Our operation started on the
26th of September. Below is the map at that time:
Now?
The map is somewhat difficult to decipher, however, close inspection will see large areas of
ATEN in the south.
In less than a three month period, our enemy experienced several deletions and people becoming inactive and quitting. Their great stronghold warrior, named
Ratius was the most formidable opponent since my times against
Sortland. He had 380 villages in the area. He is has since lost 100 villages. A solid performance considering the travel time and lack of cooperation with our
HOT allies (
they are busy on another front).
Suddenly the voices screaming out against us got quiet. No longer did our enemy get on the forums and defend their tribal name. They had met their match. Each of them knew, eventually, their time would come when they would be tapping out.
===============================
In total, I have liberated up to almost 6,000 villages.
Seraph (600+), Wolfvale (900+), Sortland (600+), Steveeo (1500+), Leckster (1300+), BlackScarab (70+), Unuttum (300+), White Knights (400+).
However, more importantly, I have forced the deletion of eight players (
including members in the K68 Frontline -
BlackScarab and
Unuttum still have villages in the southwest). Players who have been playing for 3+ years, simply quit in less than a fortnight worth of combat.
Not bad for a bit of work in a 11-month period. The keys to my successes are not timed nobles, outwhelming my enemy with fakes or even taking villages. It is organization. It is knowing what my objectives are to achieve victory.
I believe I have inspired and motivated several members from different tribes and can say for sure they will tell anybody that I have helped them fight better.
The
Grim Reaper stands by my side, knowing I am the one that says who dies and who lives in
World 2.
So, I am not the greatest player in the game, there are others. However, I make others around me great. And in my opinion, this makes me very extremely lethal.
I thank you in advance.
