As the title states this is a story of IDC otherwise known as the tribe who may have been in the most unfortunate spot of everyone that joined this world. It all began in the creation much like the book of Genesis it is boring so I'll do a brief summary. IDC was never intended to be a standalone tribe as we did not have enough players to make up a full tribe past day 40 but also did not want to invite random players around us who we couldn't see a long term future with as I will get into later. So world creation day is where one of the first unfortunate things happened to us. Because we did not have the players for a full premade we wanted to be on the rim and then find a tribe to hook up with and merge. So we did not join the world right away but then only a few hours into world start the rim stopped growing so we ended up joining on average 17-20 hours later than those who started around us. On a regular world this isn't such a big problem but with this worlds settings it can spell big trouble. We did of course have min d requirements and overall troop counts and had good counts but did not smithy rush.
Whats next in our story? The diplomacy of k55. When we joined the world we noticed we joined right next to Ropeys premade which was ironic since that that was one of the groups we had talked about joining with initially. Naturally we made a deal which was just an NAP and a promise not to expand into each others area. Our other diplo right at the start was with the tribe Busch as we had a relationship with their Duke from past worlds. Next up was Family who we accepted their diplo deal however we were very weary of them as they kept recruiting in areas that was obviously hostile towards us so we kept our guard up. The Paul Walker account was also acting sus in less than 12 hours from creation of the deal wanting us to share our planner which we fully believed they would use to inform folks of our intentions and stack against us so they could move in and attack. So from here the story is simple Family broke our diplo with short range attacks and created false flags (putin esque) as to their validity in doing so. Contrary to popular belief we did not have any claims on them as I canceled them all once we had diplo. So Family got the drop on us and we didn't have Academies at that stage but we stabilized the situation after the initial losses. Then more recruitments happened to family and then even more. A lot of these accounts were accounts we had turned down for recruitment into our own tribe as we didn't want to use them just to force internal down the road as we don't play that way. Still we would lose only a village here and there but then stabilize and the cycle would repeat itself. Eventually we had some betrayals over to family and its funny that those players got nobled for spying (if they spied it wasn't for us) so I found it funny they got internalled by Family after betraying IDC and actively defending and attacking us.
So we are now to a stabilized point with family ops failing and others tribes realizing that Family may in fact be a threat so 404 was planning to hit Family in conjunction with us. Around this time Busch approached us about the possibility to join the war against Family. So contrary to what you may see on the world discord IDC did not approach Busch to hit them. Initially leaders of Busch seemed very interested and then once they got the info about 404 was going to hit Family they got quite then gave us an excuse of why they couldn't hit Family. Then just a few days later they attacked 404 as they were geared to hit someone else. So as you can see anytime IDC was about to turn the war somehow Family was always able to have a plant in a tribe to turn the mood (enter Lekwai on False Duke). So this is where IDC really began to turtle as we were virtually alone Ropeys premade had basically been taken out and XL was one of those that helped in the demise so we thought them unfriendly. So we lived on losing a village here and there but for the most part blocking Familys ops.
On to XL they realized the family threat so joined the war and were doing well against Family plants across the K and helped us block some bigger ops that were starting to come in. Sadly as we all know because of increased scrutiny of everything on this world they were banned and thus Family won the SE. Once this happened there was no point in IDC resisting in a meaningful way so we had players just defend their own trains just to be cucks but it was time to concede the K and play on elsewhere. We had been fighting a close range fight without coplayed accounts since February 13th with the odds never in our favor. Connor and myself the dukes of the tribe were both averaging just 2-3 hours of sleep a night for a month. Lesser players would have failed a lot earlier and for the most part we genuinely had fun defending and playing with each other again. I won't get into the Peacemaker account betrayal as that is still a raw subject for a lot of us and it hurt.
In conclusion Congratulations to Family or now Scam. Every time we had you stopped you found a way around it no matter how frustrating and infuriating your methods were. You own the SE in the end so you deserve to be congratulated. I look forward to fighting you again later in this world.
Enjoy my wall of text. I may have lost but I enjoyed the challenge.
