I've been playing on and off since '99. On again for about the past year but haven't been able to find a kingdom that feels right. Previous two ages were wasted away in a kingdom that strived for top 20 then fell apart everytime war came around. I started in a fresh kingdom this age and have been throwing the dice and am up to about 10 defections and one abandonment. The whole recruitment thing is new to me so I've been trying the old school method to look for a fun kingdom.
Anyhow, I am looking for a kingdom with a bunch of people who actually like to play. I enjoy the game still so I log in often. I also enjoy war but I set my alarm clock for my job, not to make 3 AM attacks. I don't care if we win every war or lose every war, as long as the activity is good and real effort is put in. I've never used IRC but I'm not opposed to learning how to. In previous ages I've just used messenger. I'm currently playing a human just to keep things interesting until the end of the age, but I am more than willing to play any race/pers/role that the kingdom needs me to.
