I like the (as leader) thing, Nobody in V/A offered to lift a finger to do anything ever, if i asked the people who said yeah, ask anything blah blah, some excuse would come up or they did everything wrong, cant really force people to do things on a game, if i did there wouldn't of being a tribe left, but in all honesty i could of won this world quite easily even with the limitations V/A always had, it was just my choice not to merge DD into V/A to try and keep things interesting as a last ditch attempt for fun, which i hope has made the world interesting
(Haven't checked the forums since i quit, so no clue whats happened or if what i intended paid off, if 90% of the tribe wasn't inactive then i imagine things would of being good, but shit happens, fighting wars with 5 people never ends well when you have 50 accounts to rotate, you know your tribes fucked when you have go on 75% of your tribes accounts and send the support or organize everything for them as they cant do it themselves, i mean people couldn't even ask or arrange support for themselves on the frontline, they said nothing then they got hit and i ended up fixing a fucked accounts about 15-20 times, but nobody takes this into consideration, only reason V/A ever survived was solely because of me which was a complete waste of my time, but whats done is done
, i should of made a tribe of 5 people and never protected the rest of the tools.)
And tactically i had this world under the thumb when i could be bothered to micro manage everything, but as for tribal management, organizing people to do things was always a problem when the majority of people couldn't do simple things by themselves, sitting there reading and writing blocks of text never did me much good, then people constantly quitting or dieing was a problem which just took the piss when trying to sort anything.
For the majority of 8 months i was playing about 10 accounts constantly, and i must of got rid of 75+ accounts maybe over a 100, when your having to play everyone else accounts for them it kinda makes you not want to play the game never mind fighting someone who's fighting back, hence one of the reasons i left that i could never play my own account for other people relying on me to do everything, other than my eyes problems started coming back quite badly so playing tribalwars was a nono, but overall i'm pretty glad i quit just for the reason i couldn't be bothered of dealing with V/A anymore, leading tribes on this game has always required alot of effort and anyone who does it without help has my sympathy as it ruins the game completely, other than dealing with stupid people.
But yeah overall i never wanted to lead V/A, as some people know i never wanted to play the game past about 2.5mio points, it was going towards an internal shithole so i wanted to leave knowing the true V/A situation which despite trying to fix it could never be sorted, John/lodi merged into me to keep me playing more or less, as i was going to quit before then, then we merged and he disappeared due to RL, came back two months later and said being away from TW was great, hence meaning he quit, would of saved alot of time if i quit when i wanted too roflmao, i can say he was 100% right tho.
But yeah hope your all having fun, and sort of sorry for leaving abruptly, but i frankly didn't give a fuck anymore dealing with idiots and the never ending V/A internals, overall i should of just disbanded this tribe long ago and took the 5 maybe 10 useful players into a tribe that could of done something then maybe the game could of being fun for me and i could of played my own account.
Only people in V/A that were worth anything were jordon gareth,drae/tank and to some extent forbi,blue,abel and 2-3 others that occasionally took account sits.....
But to come back to my original point, simply the amount of work i put in which nobody ever really knew about apart from 2-3 people i think qualifies me to being a good leader in my own right when you look at what i was working with, if i had some competent helpers this world would of being a cakewalk, if it wasn't for jordon nothing would have being possible though, i suggest people recruit him
.
and just to finish off, there's little wonder why i chose to lead V/A the way i did, overall i am surprised it lasted past the first month when i took over in the state it was in, but that's mostly due to diplomatic monuvering and getting other tribes to break off or do silly shit to buy time to try and fix V/A, when i look back now it was a brilliant exercise to see how far i could manage things and control the world with virtually no backup, but you get to a point where it's impossible to run things that way, and then there's only one way to go.
But say what ever you like, i'll be the first person to say the direction i lead things was wrong, but the very fact i lead things to the point they got to means i was by far the best leader this world has ever seen, but just a note to everyone, drop the useless people, don't keep dealing with them, my biggest mistake, even if its 9/10 of your tribe, just kick them all and the strong players come out in the end anyway, Don't focus to much on winning, just play for fun and see where you end up, regardless of the consequences, Don't get bogged down by other peoples shit.
and if anyone wants to contact me for whatever reason, i'm still on the old skype, but i deleted most of the addies, 1k people i didn't know or have anything to do with anymore, so all the messages were deleted with them.
so as always let the hate/flaming commence, back in an another 4 months
