Interesting Thread. I have been watching it lately. Learning quite a bit actually concerning the personality traits of some of the Alliance Leaders. Intel is going into my Profiling Reports. Thanks.
Yeah, I am a newbie to this game, been playing for less than a week. Feel free to check me out on the grepolis stats page etc. My Player name is same as my Forum name. Unfortunately I did not know enough about the game mechanics in the beginning to choose a better location. Or I would be more involved with what is currently occurring. Prolly for the best really, as this gives me a better chance to learn the game mechanics while fighting in the Rim and thus gaining more sound experience for later worlds.
Some items of note here. NOOBS is handling themselves quite well in my opinion. They are tight nit, competent and they do not need to post silly reports to show how much they are kicking. Their Ratings are proof enough. Also, in regards to the Player Riddle whom conquered a city etc etc. Very wise play in my book. The more cities, the more resources that can be gleaned for further domination of ones enemies. This FACT seems to be overlooked by NOOBS opponents... It will cost them dearly.
This game like all of the other games like it that I have played in is a Strategy Game. Its a game of wits, activity, teamwork and much besides. The Objective is to WIN! This is not Tiddly Winks or Shoots and Ladders. If you want to play Shoots and Ladders or other such children's games feel free to do so. Mercy in such a game is weakness and a form of suicide. Play to win. Winning is fun. Losing... Not so much fun. I wish you All well and good luck.
Respectful Regards,
Sunfire
