So let's see how many I can upset with my post...
After joining the world quite late I managed to fight a few small scale wars alongside my son who introduced me to this living hell.
My first sleepless nights were caused by iubi29, she never stopped launching for days and got her buddies lmku, redlance, obs, nightrun and MK to join in, I think I was one of the most hated players back then (not much has changed) For all those that don't remember my first account it was King Daddio
So first taste of war and without doubt the best of that bunch was Iubi29...
Next up I joined up with Fenix as Tango Minder after KD was rimmed while I went on holiday.
Pani20 attacked my little cluster of 4 villages in K77, have to say he was one of the nicest people I met in the game throughout his attacks. I guess that is why I joined Fenix (also wanted to turn him on FD that never worked lol)
Pani20 went on to lead the tribe into many great wars and taught me a lot about attacking so he is up there with the great all time Offence giants.
One war I will never forget is TCSPC and here I met a lot of great players, Merrick yes she gave me hell, I was sitting Robkill and had a lot of fun exchanging villages with her, I think the worse for me was when I got the warlord snoopy account each night, she never missed a beat all night launching nobles and nukes, I think she just about destroyed my social life.
On the other hand we have Dulcy, well whatever I threw back at her she seemed to just laugh off, no matter how many fakes I sent she always found the nobles and the time and troops to kill them.
So hats off to Merrick (off) and Dulcy (def)
After this war things died down for about 6 months until some fool decided to take on KOF, little unknown tribe in the SW, 9 million points and we should have crushed them in a month or so. Think again this is where the greatest defender in W8 was hiding... The one and only Krystalballty, I tried everything to kill her, nothing work and only a stroke of luck eventually gave us the break through we needed. It was a great pleasure finally recruiting KB to the family of Fenix.
Have met and battled a lot more great players, yes Virk you get a salute too, we had many a chat always lead to heated words but have to say you fought well in your own way.
Baldo you are another, how many times have we traded a village or two, just when I thought it safe to go to bed he would pop back on and snatch it back...
Flinty2005 can not be ignored, the man with all the nukes...
If we look at tribes I have to mention FEAR they seemed to have the most fun, clorox was full of bigheads, loads of nukes but when the chips were down I am yet to meet a tribe that can match Fenix for defending and running ops, the last one on Sleeper7 was poetry in motion, I don't think he knew what to do in the end, a great player I have to add but even the greats struggle against the might of Fenix.
I have read so much about dt, knt myriad etc. but never really thought you would last once you ran out of buffer tribes to throw in front of us, finally the proof is out there. Fenix will win this world, I was just surprised it was so easy in the end. Inactivity runs throughout the world in all tribes, let's face it guys your tribe just wasn't as great as you thought.
Virk summed it up when we finally went for him and he deleted. Since that day only Jaaz really stood up to Fenix, yes he finally joined us but I doubt it was for an easier life, I sat his account along with a couple of others and really thought the enemy was finally waking up, it was a flash in the pan though once they couldn't make any dents they suddenly gave up.
Have to say I missed a few of the mentioned players above, they were already on the way out, what I never understood though was why leave to join another world instead of finishing the wars you have been involved in? Unless of course you new we were coming
Have to mention our stat kings too, the old erprange, Jaysabi and the new Jaaz keep everything in check...
