In-Game Name: AxisBlade
Tribe: Bleach
Player Review
Please Introduce yourself, for those who don't know who you are?
AxisBlade: AxisBlade
How are you finding World88 so far??
AxisBlade: It's a crap shoot, but I'll stay.
Do you like your Current Location or would you of preferred a better location at start-up?
AxisBlade: It could have been better, but I guess I should be happy. It was actually a stroke of luck to begin with I ended up here in Bleach with Jbarta following behind. We both relocated.
Did you get the start that you wanted or have some pesky people get in the way?
AxisBlade: Oh, I've lost between 5-7 nukes. Not fun, but hey. I couldn't ask for a better crew to start with, so I'm happy.
Have you been enjoying the thrills of Battle Slaying your enemies? [ODA] and would you have any amusing moments to share?
AxisBlade: Everyone always dodges me unless they're stacked to high heaven, but then there are the pesky players you clear every day yet still stick around. That's always fun.
Have any Invaders tried to torch your villages or has it all been quiet at home? [ODD]
and would you have any Epic Fails you would like to share?
AxisBlade: The most people have tried is a scout. A really big one. Oh, and WildAnimal tried to cat me at one point while we nobled his villages for being a dirty spy. Other than that my villages seem to have a great big "beware of dog" sign.
Have you been helping your fellow players protect their lands against the barbaric hordes? [ODS]
or sitting back enjoying the bloodbaths?
AxisBlade: Support is my favorite part of the game. Tribe shares the load though, so unless you block a train on your own, ODS will not be too impressive. Hence mine is awful.
Most of my blocking was done early game.
How has the daily Harvest been, bringing in a decent haul or has the land all dried up and nothing grows? [farming]
and if you remember what was the largest haul you brought in?
AxisBlade: Farming has been awful, but I have lucked out and got full hauls on a 80 LC run before to a player villa, before those dried up. Before that, I got a full haul on a pretty big nuke, which was great. Now I'm lucky if I get a full haul on 2-5 LC, but it isn't as bad as it used to be.
Your Past Account History or Story?
AxisBlade: Lots of accounts, lots of worlds, over 10 years of play across .net, .nl, German servers, etc. I've pretty much done it all and tried to keep my name under the radar in the past due to some sexual harassment that lead to me being banned at one point -- not sure if the guy harassing me was as well, but he reported me for telling him to "(insert colourful language)". Other than that, I've kept quiet. Even hid my gender for a long time. Every year or so, I'd grab a new username. Eventually I just ran out.
I've long been a duke (or should I say duchess) of just about every tribe I've ever joined, most of the time just because I was willing to do what needed to be done to keep the tribe afloat, not because I particularly like leading. Actually, it's the worst job in the world. You miss out on actually enjoying the game for the drama that comes with leading in general.
Probably the golden era of TW for me was either the 50's paladin archer worlds with the new item system, or the 20's. Come a long way since w3.
Your Past Tribes History or Story?
AxisBlade: Too many. Would take me all day and all night to type half. Had many last blazes of glory, a world win or two, successes and failures. Even had one of my co-dukes, bluntwinters, get hospitalized in the middle of a war and (possibly) die on me, and there was another world I ended up co-duking a basher tribe that turned on its sponsor.
Not all of them were good runs, but they were all unique, and they had spunk. Speaking of, a lot of my buds from those worlds are still around, some of whom I'm so massively proud to have lead and taught like Ticko49 and ParkourNinja684. Great friends, and greater players than I could hope to be. Love them both to bits.
Probably the most embarrassing moment in my TW history was my first world, leading a fledgling tribe on the rim, and my baron nobled me, lol. My proudest moment, w74, as Bang Bang Bash! stood behind me to become Bang Bang Dead! Always have loved an underdog revolt.
Your Past Tribes War History or Story?
AxisBlade: A lot. Let's just leave it at that. The first great basher war was a good one to be around for, but I've been in a lot of those, haha.
Tribe Review
What is your Rank? [if you have one]
are you a feeble sweat soaked Slave following the commands of your Ruler?
or are you El Capitano directing your Tribe to victory?
AxisBlade: La Capitana
How has your Tribe been when Recruiting?
are you impressed by there diligence or have they been slack in your opinion?
AxisBlade: Uh, well, I'd say slack, but I always am harsh when it comes to my own decisions.
what do think of your Tribes Overall Location on the Map??
AxisBlade: Shit, with a side of moderately okay.
How are you finding your tribes Hierarchy?
are they up to your standards?
AxisBlade: Sometimes.
Is your Tribe actively Growing their ODA/ODD/ODS?
if so are there any stats or funny moments you wish to share?
AxisBlade: Well, Jbarta's ODS jumps up a lot. We're active supporters, so there's something to say for that.
In your own Opinion has your Tribe been Growing well?
AxisBlade: Could be much better but starting to kick off.
Has your Tribe been in any Wars or Conflicts with other Tribes in your area?
if so how did it go for your Tribe and what was your favourite part of the War or Conflicts?
AxisBlade: Plenty. Always getting attacked. A lot of failed ops just based on the sheer size of enemies. Should have taken them out earlier on while the time was nigh, but we were always hampered by getting slammed on all sides. I don't worry about them being able to defend themselves at least. Past conflicts were usually resolved by taking out a player or two and demoralizing the enemy or exploiting weak leadership.
Do you believe your Tribe has Earned themselves a Reputation amongst the other Tribes in the World?
if not how would you hope to Earn that Reputation and have your tribe Remembered for?
AxisBlade: Not everyone respects Bleach/Wipe family, but I don't necessarily care what other tribes think. Lady Sovereign, "Love Me or Hate Me" sums up pretty well.
Which Tribe do you expect to Dominate World88 and who do you think will be the runners up??
AxisBlade: That's a toss up. A lot of ego tribes around here really. I expect 404/403 will probably try to jockey itself up there, but doubt they will make it before fracturing. The top tribes will likely see some advent of mass merging. Every world has always been won by the biggest assholes.
Would you like to share the love and give your Opinions of any Other Tribe?
AxisBlade: If I felt like it, probably. I'll settle for speaking for the good friends I have in Warpig, Wipe, Bucket, God, Toxic, and LoL. Some good people to be found.
personal note:
upon clarifying that AxisBlade did send this message
they were nice, gave detailed responses as we have all come to know and love
even though slightly sleep depraved
thank you AxisBlade for participating
will update map once more responses come in
