REBELZ:
Current rank = 1 (as i wrote this, Juiced passed them in the rankings) :icon_rolleyes:
No. of members = 48
Points of the best 40 players = 41.439.834
Total points = 42.672.302
Positioning = Core
Duke = DreamBrothers
Interview with = Jasmineyerp and Crazy Dante (DB)

- Crazy Dante (Background) = ”from my knowledge, I'm the longest-serving TW addict. I started when World 2 first came out. On that world, I was just about your average newbie, not bothering to read the rules and the help section, not wanting to get attacked, et cetera.”
- Jasmineyerp (background) = "2 years? 2.5 years? With a 5 month gap in the middle where i didn’t play. My first world was w6, when it first opened. Was in CHE”

Both joined W23 as they played in BIO and joined the remake of BIO in this world, so now we get to the tribe:

So, we all know about REBELZ, if you don’t, you obviously don’t play W23! We know they are the number one tribe and have been for the last month or so. We know that it is lead by the renowned DreamBrothers, the number 1 rank account of W23, but this newsletter gives us ordinary players, those that don’t quite qualify to be a part of the ‘DREAM TEAM’ a sneaky peak behind the scenes at what they’re all up to in there!! :icon_twisted:

Not all that long ago there was much scepticism about the future of REBELZ. After a controversial split from What? DB formed what was for a little while was known as “What would DreamBrothers do?” After bringing in some top players and a slight rename, REBELZ was born. The reason for the split at the time was, in What?, “recruitment got slacker and slacker, id been raising concerns for months,” and so DB made at shot at things themselves.

Early on there was a concern that the tribe was too spread out. “That's something I've never understood, how people can call us as being 'widespread'. If you look at the map closely, you can see we're not at all spaced out as people would suggest.” It turns out Dante was right (despite my own opinion :icon_redface:) REBELZ has managed to form a strong cluster and own 3 continents and are heavily present in 3 others. “All you need to know is that REBELZ territory are those marked on our profile. Anyone resident on those continents that isn't a Rebel, or an ally, chances are you probably won't last much longer”


DB started in K46 and further strengthened there by merging in the best of TCE. They have been fighting BIA in the core to create a stronger dominance of K44 and now are in a quiet war with BOSS. This was caused when BOSS chose to merge in ‘refugees’ from BIA.

Also skirmishes with +DD+ have taken place. “War with DD fuelled by attacks on Cvoid. Cvoid being account sat at time so REBELZ didn’t realize. Sitter attacks DD and they swipe back. War with DD starts … Fact is, nearly all of the REBELZ, once we noticed Cvoid's decline, sent support to all their villages - not knowing the situation of any of the villages at all, which ones were being nobled, which ones were not stacked, et cetera.” +DD+ war I believe has been left somewhat in the air.


REBELZ main goal for the future is “CORE DOMINATION!” It is a simple request and it is one REBELZ fully expect to achieve. While WWDDD? and Interrobang (?!?) are allied with REBELZ, BOSS are the only other prominent core force and they are already at war. It will not be long till REBELZ own the core, then from there, it is anyone’s guess.

Recent inactivity has hit in a couple of places as it has to everyone in the world but REBELZ is one tribe i believe can over come there problems and push on. Small membership means each loss is a large one but with their current activity, they should cope!

UNKNOWN’S OPINIONS:
I like REBELZ and they are a great tribe who have owned and will continue to own the top spot. The core will become theirs one way or another but it is what happens after that which is where we step into uncharted territory. An aggressive tribe makes enemies and even the top tribe isn’t invincible. REBELZ will be around for some time yet and if things go there way they will soon become unstoppable. While I would like to see what REBELZ can achieve I wish them no luck. A large dominant core tribe owning the world is not good for anyone except REBELZ but hell, it makes for some exciting wars to come!!! :icon_biggrin:

Juiced:
Current rank = 1 (wait, what?)
No. of members = 65
best 40 players = 40.990.867
Total points = 54.460.390
Positioning = North west
Duke = Kingjame$
Interview with = Mr Wolfe

-Mr Wolfe (background) = “This is actually my first world believe it or not” :icon_eek:
Member of the council in Juiced

Juiced, a tribe that has been growing at a rate of knots out on the west rim. They must be the fastest growing tribe of W23 for 2009 and I am impressed, but lets see what is going on behind the doors, into the world of the sweet citrus fruit loving Juice members.

Juiced was originally formed through merger between Milked and HugZ which unfortunately failed. “It happened too fast. Juiced guys were fine with it because we were basically staying the same. The problem seems to have come from the Hugz members (don't get me wrong I respect all of them and they are a great bunch) theirs and our tribe were very much different. We seemed far more agressive and we were already all tightly knit with a set of goals and we set them in place right after the merge. It was a big chance for them and I can understand why they left. I don't know the exact reasons but those are what I pieced together (I wasn't on the council at the time)”

Edit: The reasoning for this split is viewed from the side of Milked. When posted, ex-members of HuGZ contested this. Their view of the events are:

"Milked more aggressive!? HuGZ! were ranked 2 in ODA at the time way way higher than Milked was.
The issue came when the HuGZ! were lead to believe that Blue...Heart (ex HuGZ! leader) would lead the HuGZ! side of K34 and King James the K32. We would both work in K33 and meet in the middle.
A few HuGZ! members we're peeved becuase within days of the merge we were asked to send troops to defend an imminent attack in K32.
As such people sent their troops. A week went by and nothing happened. We got no more info but were expected to leave troops there. A few memebers got the feeling our troops were used to provide safety.

As regarding the split.

King James started barking out orders to the K34 players. Due to our thinking that Blue...Heart was meant to lead the ex HuGZ! players in K34 not King James. But I kind of took objection to KJ and subsequently left. Within hours BH left too and reformed HuGZ!. Then due to RL issues some time down the line BH could not lead anymore. Neither I or Drunk Otter wanted to lead so the decision was made to disband HuGZ!.

Players were told days in advance at what day the tribe would be disbanded.

We found homes for K33 players in Juiced. K23 had the choice to go into SoT-HG but decided to form s23. The main K34 players decided to go into - H -."

Remember these are simple views of the split, please do not contest these opinions but i have posted both so the world are aware of both sides of the argument.

Juiced quickly got over the failed merge “we just kept expanding to the east and the west. We were hesitant to branch too far into K33 due to Hugz also expanding that way. So we kept having our K31 members push on. A few K33 decided they would be best with us and joined up with us rather then stay Hugz !” This time lead to the famous 100% dominance. Juiced is still the only tribe to have managed that in World 23!

Since that time, they have been a part of a few small wars and had some merge into them, giving them the vast continent dominance they have managed to obtain. They had wars with TNG, ~TC~ and ESP. “We picked up about 12 WP members since they showed the spirit and heart of a Juiced member and at the same time S23 collapsed and we picked up a few ex-hugz and Joker members that didn't have a tribe at the time and turned to us.”

So this is juiced past but what is the plan for the future? “Same things every tribe wants... To take over the world. But seriously we have some things we are working on now and getting out of the way but expect something big sometime soon!” Unfortunately although I have some idea what Juiced is planning, I can’t disclose it to the world or even give hints, but as the man said, keep an eye out!!

Recently, Juiced has been asked about co-players and basher tribes. I thought It appropriate to ask about this and see what Juiced were up to. “Can say it's true about me. Others might be co-playing or inactive... But it sure doesn't hurt our reputation that all Juiced account will be on 24/7 now does it?”

And the bashers?!? Well apparently, Asgard is of no association to Juiced, FIVE is an ally, “FIVE is not our basher tribe either. I don't see what's wrong with an Ally attacking the same tribe as you. That's why they are there right?” The only tribes that have basher status is Oj and Pulp. “Now Oj!? started out as a few players spread out and wasn't a tribe. But when each member needed to clear a certain person to clear a 30% morale fully defended target they had to mail multiple people and wait a while for a response. We grouped them into a tribe to make communication a lot easier. Pulp came about due to the fact that WP broke apart and the members left over wanted to server for Juiced. We made the mistake of letting a few of them and they would be relocated. They have yet to comply. We are well aware that it is a problem and there are things under way to cut the numbers drastically. The point was to have a few people here and there so our players don't waste nuke after nuke on low morale targets”

Inactivity has been a large hit to the world at large and Juiced haven’t entirely escaped that. “We have had our share of inactivity but he actives get rid of those players very well. The bunch we have are very loyal and very active. Hasn't been a big hit. Hence why we are always at the top of the charts in nobling.”

UNKNOWN'S OPINION:
Juiced is a great tribe and i have been exceptionally impressed with their growth. I am very much looking forward to their future exploits as i'm sure you all are also. I see this tribe going far however there new size is their biggest draw back. They have grown a lot of attention and size often means more organization. I'm not saying it is impossible for a large tribe to be organized but it is harder! I hope they pull it off. :icon_biggrin:

Knock!:
It should be noted that when this interview took place some time ago, Knock were ranked 3rd and Sergei was a member of Knock Council. :icon_rolleyes:

Current Rank = 6 (3 at time of interview)
No. of members = 92
best 40 players = 48.809.704
Total points = 72.120.225
Positioning = North
Duke = Derash08 / Codygoodthegreat
Interview with = Sergei86

-Sergei (Background): its actually my first world and i do think of my self as a fast learned in strategy games i have some chess in my younger years so it works for my benefit (Sergei asked me not to mention the chess ... so here it is for all to see! :icon_wink:)

Ok, so i don't know about you, but Knock! sprung up from under the radar suddenly for me. Out of no where they broke the top 20 and then gradually climbed from there to become a power of the north with academy and 6 continents under their belts, but how did it all start and why did no one notice them earlier?!?

"i started two months after the core players and got myself on the rim. I was NMG when i started but soon got into troubles with the biggest tribe in k16 and it turned out i joined them after 1-1.5 months. It was called [NMG], then orcus, later on we merged with RPG into knock, they were the two biggest tribes in k16 and thats where my tribe [Knock!] started from." So this may be one reason no one ever saw them arrive. Knock! was formed in a sudden merger of three tribes within K16. From there?

Dominance of K16 was made and it was not long until expansion was needed. Knock! sighted K17 and went to war. They fought through 3 small wars for K17 but there were other tribes that posed problems, allies NBG and LUNI (were -LH-, now split between REBELZ and TIT). Feuds over K15 arose with NBG but no real war was declared and the tribes grew closer.

With K15, 16 and 17 almost under wraps, further expansion was needed. This was during the times of the -RE- / -ID- Vs GOMEZ / LUNI war. Knock! were to the north and uninvolved until K27 became hot property. TIT declared on -ID- and the tribe crumbled into many different strains. Some went to TIT, some fled to Knock! and the academy tribe Who? This gave dominance to Who? "recruiting in that area, got alot of good players from it! It was on of cody's best decisions."

This all took place before the times of joint forums between tribes, when families and academies were common but undesirable. Why was it Knock! felt it needed an academy so early on in the game? "i think to me it seemed to be netural decision, it all depends on your chain of command, if it can be controled its ok, but it's hard work on the leadership for sure and fast power control pushed the deal" By this he meant "gaining faster power not through taking villages but taking players in this decison worked for us"

At this point Knock! were large and known on forums because of their top 20 rank. People began to talk and initially it was not complimentary. Knock! started with a bad reputation due to it's size, academy and lack of war. People took them for a hugger or mass recruiter tribe. Knock! knew they needed to change that image to be successful. "i personally pushed for a war alot before but cody made the right call by waiting with the war. We needed a big war to show our potential, a challenge and it was luni that in the same time decided to merge with - H - so we decided to make a move, we didnt think it will affect them like it did" (i.e the split)

This in some ways earnt Knock! the respect they needed. Their success and growth was proven and their membership had grown well proving that mass recruition was not the case and that they did own some real diamonds. However, a real war from the south was brewing. Look up at the REBELZ post and you can see that the interview happened at the time of the merger with ?!?. My words were "The core will become theirs one way or another but it is what happens after that which is where we step into uncharted territory." That uncharted territory was Knock!

Knock! had just carried out a controversial merger, taking in ARMOR, well known allies of NBG. I fully admit i believed the initial plan was to take in NBG's allies and then use them against them. By turning on NBG, the north would be owned fully by Knock! It was not to be. "it was planned for a long time we where allies from the start and our leadership was very close to each other, as the war with LH ended it felt like the right time to do it."

However, back to the juicy war (no pun intended ... ok maybe a small one) that is still on going as i write this."We did cosidered rebelz as they got close to our allies armor and we knew it before we merged and then juiced allied to them aswell, just didnt expect them really to go after us with all the problems they have around." Knock! had considered war with REBELZ previously but it was forced open them. The fronts were stacked and the war of atrition began and is still on going.

UNKNOWN'S OPINIONS:
Well as i did this interview i would have told you things looked rosey for Knock. The war had not majorly dented them, they sat comfortably as the third ranked tribe in the world and they were doing generally very well. HOWEVER, they are now 6. Sergei has left them for his own reasons, Cody is known to be missing in action, which has shuffled leadership and the war has slowed down, a lot. I do not know what Knock! is up to but they do not seem to be doing anywhere near as well as they once were. Maybe REBELZ are having an effect on them, possibly things will patch up and it is a slightly rough spot, but i don't smell something quite right about Knock! at the minute without Cody at the helm. Sergei's words "cody got this tribe to where it is" and i think Knock! might be feeling it without him. We shall see.

LOOK:

Current Rank = 4
No. of members = 96
best 40 players = 49.267.328
Total points = 77.819.702
Positioning = East
Duke = Marcos99
Interview with = Marcos99

-Marcos99 (Background): " W23 is my first world, I went heavy into the guides and asked for advice from local players, I have played other games in the past, so I could read between the lines with the guides... I knew to up production buildings, so I could get the timers going."

LOOK have been a major player in this world pretty much from the start. Not always known as LOOK, they started as 'The Knight' family and caused trouble for the eastern world early on. Marcos himself? "We started as a small tribe called heroes (where I wasnt duke), we bought into the whole honor and glorty bit and modeled ourselves after that. When we were approached by TUK we were all new players and the premise was interesting. We joined the family without knowing how it would really work." The early TUK family were not respected and infamous for poor communication between it's brother tribes, however the 'mother' tribe, TUK were large and fearsome and was what ultimately kept the family in existance.

Troubles arose for TUK. TSK split from the family and merged with TIT. TUK then had internal problems and between fighting ESP and ZOMG were loosing members. Marcos at this point was in TCK. TCK ranked third in the standings of the family, behind TUK and TSK. With TSK dissolved they stepped up. TCK at one point were believed to be more stable than it's mother tribe and this was under the helm of Marcos. "From heroes, we became TCK. We were still sorting our membership, when a tribe we let live came back to haunt us. We had a local issue with TIT and a TIT member convinced 3 tribes to attack us. It was the blind leading the blind at first, but we were lucky to have the help of a TUK/former member on coordination and tactics. Local tribes: Bowser, SDD~FT, Selg~FT, they had banded together on the idea we would one day attack them.TUK contributed one coodinated wave, but that was about it. So we won that war which gave us a bit of experience and confidence."

After a while the family disintergrated completely. "There was no communication between TUK and other tribes, the leadership was weak, TRK had no real link to our tribes, other than name, TSK was aligning itself with TIT, as they suspected TUK would attack them. It was barely holding together. When swiftyshroom did his work on TUK, we saw the opportunity to rise up and take the reigns." For those who were unaware about the comment on swifty, he basically got sitting rites to a duke in TUK and disbanded the tribe. It did reform but was not the same. It quickly fell apart.

LOOK and LOVE were consequently formed with Marcos now in charge of the whole family, not just one strain. Well, I say that, Marcos was the 5th duke after others had RL issues, but whether he started as the favourite or not, he took it on and has been successful. “LOOK is Heroes>>TCK>>>LOOK, always owned by us. LOVE was TUK and merged into us. Within... what 4-5 days WWDDD declared on me. I had no feel for the membership on that front, It was a quick, unplanned merger, mind you, we were already at war with one tribe, K39KS. We quickly wrapped up K39KS and then TIT joined and brought ~Reds~ as a meat shield.”

I had noticed at this point that TIT had been a big influence on a lot of LOOK history. They were a part cause of TCK’s first war, absorbed a large portion of the TUK family and then went to war with the newly mergered LOOK. LOOK were very much aware of all this. “TIT was a huge factor, we made all moves in anticipation of their attack.” I asked why diplomacy hadn’t been made sooner. “They were always waiting for an opportunity to atack TUK in K47. When the instability started they came with talks of diplomacy, they respected us, but not TUK etc. When they learned we were absorbing the TUK membership in K47 the talks went dead instantly. We owned a good portion of K38, and K47.

I believe that the motives TIT had were unrelated to the other tribes declaring, however our multiple war fronts may have been the tipping poitn with TIT. At this point we had somewhat reconciled with TIT and were talking diplomacy. So, while we were feeling a bit mislead, we still respected TIT. We started speaking with their players more. Motives for past actions were explained. Hackster and I developed a relationship”

It was at that point that I cut him off! :icon_biggrin: Basically TIT and LOOK formed the friendship they have today through war. WWDDD? war continued and LOOK have continued to grow. But what have they done recently to get to where they are now? And what about that family that we hear so little about?? "When LOVE collapsed we had an academy we were about to axe, instead we sent overflow into that tribe until we could determine who was worth keeping. It was meant to be temporary but when we had 4 tribes declare on us... it fell by the wayside, though it was NEVER our intention to be a family again." L00K were left but Marcos mentioned to eventually cut down LOOK back to one tribe, once inactivity takes its claims.

UNKNOWN'S OPINIONS:
Well, as you can see, LOOK have had a long background and experienced players from the very start of this world. Their biggest threat to date is now possibly their closest ally and while sitting on i believe 8 continents and still warring WWDDD? they stand to do very well. Their tribe seems solid and although their family still exists, which i don't agree with and they may suffer with some inactivity, the core tribe is a strong one. They have now come to a sort of dead end. Where to go with allies to the north and south? The obvious choice would be REBELZ but i think if that was going to be true we would have seen the hints of it by now. I am unsure, but LOOK need to do something before they become trapped in. I'm sure they will do very well in this world for a long time yet to come however.

THESE ACCOUNTS ARE NOT COMPLETE DUE TO MY BECOMING VERY TIRED. BOTH WILL BE ADDED TO AND COMPLETED AT A LATER DATE. THIS APPLIES MAINLY TO PLG.



TIT:

Current Rank = 3
No. of members = 75
best 40 players = 87.060.757
Total points = 112.640.810
Positioning = North East
Duke = Hackster2000 / McDropsalot
Interview with = Hackster2000 (Original, not Mrdooman)

- Hackster2000 (background): "I started in world 4 where i was a complete noob. Nobled only barbs and was part of a big family. I then tried duking a tribe in W6 with my cousin which was number 1 in K44 and ranked 6 in the world, the only reason being we were filthy mass recruiters. I quit back then and got back into tws a year later. I came to this world already knowing that point whoring, barb nobling and mass recruiting was obviously not the way to go."

Hackster wasn't always a duke of TIT. The tribe was formed in W20 and was started up here by Hell ice. Hackster2000 was TITs first recruited member. "The name TIT was started on W20 by evilcult, who i believe plays W23 still and who i have spoken to a couple of times. Hell ice founded TIT in W23 in august. It wasn't really a premade as it was only him in the tribe. The profile stated it wasn't a mass recruiting tribe and that it was tough entry. Hell was what attracted me to the tribe as he was ranked 1 in K37 by quite a way and keeping up with him was near impossible. He was obviously a good player. I was in a tribe called penguin for 2 days. It was a noob tribe i joined just for the early stages. On my third day of being in this world i mailed Hell for an invite and got in through some tough persuasion."

TIT was founded in august yet stayed very small for quite a few months. The first time they were really noticed on the forums was when they went to war with a neighbouring tribe who were in the top 40, BOW, who later became LUNI, who later became -LH-, who then funnily enough split and merged into Rebelz and TIT. "We stayed small because of Hell ices strict recruitment policy. I think we had 7 members for over 3 weeks. Most of our members were in the top 20 players of K37 yet because we were so small in number we were not the top tribe. They number 1 tribe in the K were ~SOW~ who became better known to the world later on when they joined 'The Knights' family as ~TSK~. TIT started off well and we managed to keep peace with SOW. We had a few little skirmishes where i left TIT briefly to be a spy. I forget the name of the tribe we were warring but we were successful and dismantled a 40 man tribe with 7. Thats when we got a taste for war, and Hell ice became a bit ambitious. BOW had some problems with Hell ice over a cross nobling. It resulted in them trying to rim Mcdropsalot who with the support of the tribe, mainly Bilgo, grew in ODD and didn't lose a village. Luni war lead no where and was ended by me eventually. I think i was a duke by the end of the Luni war. BOW had become LUNI in that time also."

Hackster had become a duke when Hell ice had to leave the game for travelling. TIT had got some forum representation and had been seen to hold off a tribe much larger than their own. TSK in K37 however were now much bigger and with the TUK family growing exponentially, TIT was in trouble. "I had a flame for diplomacy and still make it my priority within TIT now. I was diplomat for Hell Ice in TIT before he left and made myself and Micoxies dukes. 2 other players quit shortly after hell ice and since that time it has become a ritual that TITs always quit in pairs (quite weird actually). Losing 20% of our membership wasn't easy. We didn't tell LUNI but we got pretty beat up. We grew and recruited and ties were made stronger with TSK. We worked together on a tribe called HSD where we recruited some strong players. Our ties eventually grew stronger. LUNI ties had also been made so we were pretty limited for growth. We had to either go back to war with LUNI or take on TSK but with the massive TUK in the south that wasn't a safe option. What actually happened was a merger and we took on most of TSK. That boosted us from about rank 70 into the top 40 and our name was really getting known."

TIT grew in K37 and now owned most of the K. People assumed war with TUK and family must be on the way but that didn't happen. TIT in fact headed north and took on a family tribe called -ID-. -ID- fell apart within a couple of weeks and TITs reputation grew because of it. "All the tribes we had fought had been bigger because TIT had been such a small tribe for such a long time. When we took on TSK we became almost 55 members strong. That was massive compared to what we were used to. -ID- i think were near 130 with all their family. The tribe disbanded in 2 weeks and i remember everyone raving about TIT which made me smile. What really happened was the duke of -ID- didn't have a clue and fled causing panic. It was easy enough to pick up the pieces."

TIT never ended up taking K27 because the Knock family recruited most of it before TIT could expand there. For one reason or another TIT didn't war Knock. The TUK family who had been causing trouble in the south before hand were merging into LOOK and LOVE and TIT struck as things were unstable. Yet again another larger tribe. "I had spoken to marcos in the past and actually got on with him well. I feared for TITs expansion though when the LOOK family moved into K38. WWDDD? and REDS were also having troubles with LOOK and their sudden growth and we formed a coalition of sorts. We went to war over k38 and when TIT was the dominant tribe their after recruiting in Reds i attempted to call a cease. Marcos was more than happy to accept as both our tribes were being pointlessly crippled over little gain. The front moved very slowly. It started a tight alliance between our tribes.

TIT continued to grow. The merge i mentioned earlier with -LH- happened and TIT joined the top 10 tribes. They were now much bigger and not considered a small tribe. They were now seen as quite a threat and frictions between Knock and TIT reoccured. When Cody quit and Knock were unsteady, TIT declared war. "I didn't want to war Knock while Cody was their as i got on well with him and he did me the great favour of not declaring on TIT when we were at war with LOOK. If he had TIT might have been destroyed. When he left however problems started in the shape of cross noblings and nobling into TIT territory. We eventually had enough and declared. The LH team were more than happy to war as they had recently been defeated by Knock in war a month or so prior. REBELZ were already warring knock but things took off when we entered into it."

Since that time TIT have entered wars with smaller tribes such as TAKO and now EK. Knock has returned but i was told that has something to do with the return of Cody. TIT is still currently at war with EK. The result isn't clear but i would guess TIT will win it. TIT is now one of the big tribes of this world and still proudly claim to have no form of family, acadamy or basher tribe.

Unknown's Opinions:
An old tribe as they said which has continually been growing in the north east. Their early reputation of being small and aggressive still in a way holds true. They are the smallest tribe of the top 6 due to lack of families and although only entering in small wars, their war record is quite impressive. I would think the tribe itself is impressive but expansion in future is going to be difficult. LOOK is an alliance, Knock must have some form of relationship with TIT and NBG and REBELZ are also claimed to have ties. Unless something changes, TIT are limited for growth and will be forced into a very tight corner. I'd like to see what they choose to do.

---------------------------------------------:icon_cool:---------------------------------------------

PLG:

Current Rank = 6
No. of members = 77
best 40 players = 73.080.265
Total points = 101.815.533
Positioning = South
Duke = Cylias
Interview with = Marcusrmccloud / Mfhippy

- Marcusrmccloud (background): "W23 only, since last october or so. I originally played another account, then deleted the account and began co-playing Marcusrmccloud, when the MM account was at 25,000 pts. New.Id is the original marcus. We were tribed together in SGF/RR."

As said Marcus did not start as a member of PLG. PLG wasn't formed until later in the game anyway. Marcus was originally a member of 'The Rim Raiders'. "I eventually rose to become the Duke of RR, a former top 20 tribe in the south. People were surprised that our ODA was so high being based in k94. Hawks were north, TDL was west, east in k95 was split between us/vb/=x=/ekc3. I researched the top 10 tribes and saw PLG, I thought they had the most potential, so I reached out to them about joining and helping in their war against Hawks. Cylias admitted the top players from RR, and we begin to hit Hawks from both sides 74/94"

That would therefor be the reason for PLG suddenly being within 2 Ks and sandwiching HAWKS. Marcus and his tribe were the reason. PLG itself however were already alive at this point, Marcus joined them later on. The founding of PLG routes back to a family tribe called ALPHA. Mfhippy knew more about the beginnings of PLG. "PLG was originally an academy, we were @ALPHA, academy of ALPHA. We actually were warred by our parent tribe and we beat them. ALPHA gave a spy duke rights he disbanded the tribe. They formed BWECAN (Because we can) then declared on us. I say we beat them but I think they were fighting elsewhere too. That was our second real war apart from smaller tribes first was against OMEGA family."

The ex-OMEGA beaten in war became 'Epidemic', academy of Plague. There was an issue between a member of Epidemic and a member of Hawks and war began. Epidemic were being beaten until PLG stepped in. The war with Hawks would turn out to be a long and slow one. "We were gaining slowly but was a hard slog they were well organised and I am sure received support from TDL and aow eventually, then TJ and the others from RR joined and the pace quickened"

Marcus = "After RR joined plg we hit them on two fronts. Hawks held on for a long time received support from other tribes, culminating in aow (our ally) who tried to get other tribes to join against us at this point, near the end of the Hawks war we started to stop trusting aow... and we had tension with =x= because they were former VB and they were friends with Hawks and absorbed some of the hawk members."

This lead PLG to a form of 'cross-roads', as put by Marcus, after they had destroyed HAWK. They could turn on TDL, AOW or =X=. EKC3 were also in their sights, now known as =EK=. "During hawks war, we had tensions with EKC 3. AOW on the one hand had been our ally, but they backstabbed us and tried to start a mass alliance against us. =x=/vb had long been enemies of RR, and were hawk-friends during the war. Also, they had warred our ally AOW who we almost helped but then we found out about their duplicity. At this point, we thought AOW and =x= were ripe for absorption so we tried negotiating both tribes to merge their top players. After a long, harsh discussion, AOW talks derailed (they were still at war with =x=). We then merged =x='s best players into PLG, and the rest of =x= remained. AOW refused the merger and they continued attacks on =x= players who were left behind after the merger. We got upset at Aow's decision to backstab us, refuse merger, and then continue attacks on =x=."

War on AOW was declared. PLG skirmishes with EKC 3 were prevented from becoming war through spies PLG had planted. AOW tried merging with EKC3 to team up on PLG. PLG declared on EKC 3 as well and were successful against both. At this time PLG had an alliance with Rebelz which was kept tight between friendship with Marcus and DB. They also had an alliance with TDL, however, when TDL had problems with Rebelz over refugees recruited into TDL from BOSS and PLG supported Rebelz on their views, Pterry declared on PLG. The TDL war is still going now, as is the AOW war which is unfinished due to TDL stepping into things.

Unknown's Opinions:
PLG are a strong aggressive tribe. Their OD rankings are testament to this. They have always had wars in one way or another and been kept on their toes. They are the main dominant force of the south however i think their success against TDL may be overplayed. They have the advantage and might be winning, slightly, but TDL is still very much alive and at the rate PLG are pushing forward, TDL war will last years. Something needs to change for TDL war to become a complete success. Juice warring from behind might be that change. Either that or PLG give up and pick on AOW who they were beating. As things stand PLG are slowing down on growth in a long, slow and tough war.

Unknown's news of the week:
news.jpg


Item 1: Some time a while ago, i forget exactly when, LOOK declared on BHOS! After war ended with TIT abruptly they were quick to move on and find new targets, seems to be a breeze but we'll see.

Reason for the war, as far as i can see, LOOK got bored! :icon_twisted:

Item 2: REBELZ absorb members of -LH- after what would appear to be a failed merger. Knock! wins the war due to it.

Yes, Knock! won the war. Go them, it's earned them a lot of good press in my opinion!! Well done and good luck in the future. :icon_wink:

Rebelz are now uber powerful which is a worry to us all but great for them. I'd like to see what this newly improved REBELZ will be up to. :icon_eek:

This has been unknowns first weekly news bulletin. Future weeks will be more in depth no doubt, but for now, THATS A WRAP!

I agree but can we get rid of these "reserved" posts you made earlier? Seems like a waste of space to me.

I think they are 'reserved' for future newsletters - so that they are all at the top on the first page.
