    Please explain something to me.....

    Are all ghetto Monarchs the same? I know I haven't played in a few ages. I made a new province, land in a ghetto. It's already lost a war to a kingdom that has won two and the age is barely started. The Monarch says if anyone can do better than step up. Sure, I have time, why not. He's threatening to kill off two very forum active provinces just because they haven't attacked in the past week. They had a CF with the kingdom they warred after one wave and are still in the ceasefire. How are they supposed to attack when they are not supposed to hit the kingdom they are at war with? Now the Monarch and page threatening to kill me off and I haven't even been in the kingdom for twelve hours. I guess I am a threat to their little power trip.

    People have said that we need to be nice and train people to play the game, but when we do they act like a cornered animal. How can experienced players help noobs and expand the game when the smaller kingdoms have chronic stupidity?

    That's an interesting interpretation of events, developed by someone who has been with the kd for maybe 24 hours. Did you analyze the paper to see what brought them to that point? Did you see the messages exchanged between the monarchs of the war, pre or post? Did you talk to the other monarch to get his view of events? Do you even understand why the inactives were declared?

    Coming into the kingdom and posting "Hi, I'm from Abs and I'm here to help" is not a way to win friends and influence people. Supporting provinces that have contributed nothing all age because you saw a few posts AFTER they started receiving attacks is not progress.

    And for the record, there were no threats to kill off anyone other than the inactive provinces named.


    So it's great that you have your "high and mighty" point of view. But you are so far removed from reality it's ludicrous.

    Try having conversations with those in the kingdom before you start forming opinions. Try to understand the play by play of how they got to where they are. If you still find it "cornered animal" mentality, then so be it. But at least you made an attempt.

    Then either you lied in your introductory post to gain credibility, or you are lying here?

    I played in Dragons of Abs. I was there for two ages. I lead there. That is not a lie. Playing for a kingdom, does not make you a part of the alliance. Just because you read things the way you wanted to see them, does not make me a liar.

    I keep my mouth shut, or I go on divine rampages, and kill all the n00bs.
    It's not worth the huge investment in time to train them these days, because they all seem to lack a grasp on two very important things: teamwork, and authority.
    Catwalk's crusade for legalized cheating was a stunning success, with ghettos and low-tiered teams everywhere losing their wells of knowledge to better kingdoms in the process.

    Step one: replace everything that works.
    Step two: blame the predictable epic fail on outside forces.
    Step three: keep the community informed that no progress has been made since the last update.
    Step four: thank you for your patience.

    Palem, it is starting to get more tempting by the tick.

    @Christian.... there can be only one.

    @VT2 You're losing your touch. I am saddened. :P

    My touch is still there, but your post touched me, and made me feel.

    If they have a cf (other than the war-ending mechanic) with a KD that they're at war with, then it is by definition a fake war.
