Hello my name is Jace and I'm a 19 year old university student that has fallen into the time trap that is Tribal Wars. I've created this blog to provide yet another perspective on events that occur on W58. As entries progress I hope to expand in content and will be searching for a skilled map-maker to assist me.
So on to the good stuff! Many things have changed in the past couple of weeks. GBEARS currently sit at #1 with 1.25 million points and a ~280k point lead on #2, FORK.
RANKINGS
Our current rankings.
1-GBEARS,35 members
2-FORK, 32 members
3-ARMADA, 34 members
4-Pacman, 20 members
5-MANIC,26 members
While the rest of the world has been in a flux, these 5 have together dominated the rankings, and the competition is fierce. At some point in time, each of our top 4 tribes have held the #1 spot, albeit for some it was brief.
And now, your top 5 in the news
GBEARS-Still being flamed for merging/hugging/recruiting Inc. members which earned them the #1 spot and secured their 2nd K.
FORK-Recently flamed for recruiting several Pacman members trolling.
ARMADA-Has kept out of the spotlight recently but must always be cautious of their past lurking in the corner.
Pacman-Staying away from the public eye currently, it seems most are reluctant to engage them on the externals. Elite player+insidious troll/spammers is quite the potent combination. SWID should have studied these guys before creating their spam tribe.
Manic-Except for a few members, not currently vocal on the externals, also keeping a low-radar.
WHO YOU SHOULD LOOK OUT FOR
Many of us spend our days on this excellent war game but often our efforts are never quite appreciated. It seems people only care about the top 20 or even as exclusive as the top 5. While it would be an impossible pledge to give enough time to focus on the smaller tribes sufficiently, in future issues this section will deal with any tribes below the top 20 that do something remarkable/impressive.
TROLL OF THE WEEK
Rawr Mode. GBEARS have come under the public eye and so have FORK for some interesting recruitment. And as 2 top tribes sharing a border, the tensions are high. Still, this player is the winner of this prestigious award for literally arguing with anything and everything that has the physical ability to press the post button.
INTERVIEW WITH THE BOSS
-What the FORK?
Jace: Was Fork conceived as a premade or after the world had begun?
michel(Destabilise): it was actually decided the day before the world opened if I remember correctly by Matt and me.
michel(Destabilise): And as we went we got a bunch of friends to join us
michel(Destabilise): even once we had started some were still joining.
Jace: When all this was happening, did you and Matt expect to be leading a tribe considered to be one of several top contenders in the world?
michel(Destabilise): Nope.
michel(Destabilise): Reason is when we started playing this world we were maybe 5 to 10 members joining as friends and we were gonna join some tribe as the better tribes emerged
michel(Destabilise): but more friends kept on joining day after day
michel(Destabilise): so we eventually decided to keep the tribe
Jace: Now within the ranks of FORK, certain rumors run abound about the mysteriousness of your gender. Do you blame being part French for such widespread gender confusion?
michel(Destabilise): LMAO yes I'm French but that confusion is because on Skype it's my wife’s picture.
michel(Destabilise): and every time i meet someone new they think I'm a girl and try hitting on me
michel(Destabilise): I'm a 40 years old male that is married
Jace: As a world progresses, this game tends to take more and more of our daily lives. Do you feel you have everything balanced to play this game?
Jace: Are there certain things that take precedence over TW duties
michel(Destabilise): For those that really know me they know I'm very active and when I'm not working I'll log about 16 to 20 hours a day on TW
michel(Destabilise): and right now with the news I got a few days ago I'll be on here quite a bit as I'm not allowed to work or play hockey for at least the next six month so TW will see me lots
Jace: do all Canadians play hockey?
michel(Destabilise): about 90 % of Canadians played or play hockey i think
Jace: on average do British-Canadians have an advantage over their French counterparts?
michel(Destabilise): I don't understand that question lol
michel(Destabilise): I'm French
michel(Destabilise): don't make it too complicated
Jace: Moving back to the game, now that you have surpassed your initial expectations for FORK, what is the next step?
michel(Destabilise): It's actually simple finish what we started and win this world as from what everyone can see we are not too shabby but there will be tough roads ahead as there are a few good tribes around
Jace: What other tribes hold the most promise?
michel(Destabilise): any tribe can win a war but right now only 2 tribes come to mind Pacman look pretty good but i don't respect their arrogance and ARMADA if they are playing properly and don't do what they did on other world then they will be tough
Jace: FORK, ARMADA and Pacman have been trading ranks for some time now. How do you feel about GBEARS sudden rise to the top?
michel(Destabilise): mass recruiting tribe looking for stats only
Jace: Well thank you for your input on world events, before we finish what’s one thing you predict to happen in the next month?
michel(Destabilise): I will get asked if it's me on my skype picture lol
MUSIC OF THE DAY
CRYSTAL CASTLES- UNTRUST US
Stay Tuned for Next Issue!
LOL, . . . this is awesome. I've been playing TW on and off throughout the years but I've never been too involved in what happens around the game ex. external forums and so on. I think this blog is an efficient way to stay informed without having to search through all the forums and waste even more time. Thanx for creating it and I hope that it continues to run.
