"New Events, MRA's and Gold Beware"
Old writer, new world"New Events, MRA's and Gold Beware"
I would first off like to welcome everyone to my newspaper. Some of you are familiar from older worlds, with my paper, some of you are not. I will release an issue each week including interviews, my thoughts and opinions on alliance growth and things along those lines. Leaving a +Rep, tells me to keep it up, leave a comment for suggestions, and message me for an exclusive! ~Porter
Sparta V. Hades and Gold Beware
I have to be quite frank. I am starting to get very angry. I use to be in love with Grepolis. I still am, but in a different way. There didn't use to be 25-40 alliances full of players just playing for gold. That just wasn't a thing. Now I am finding to the north, south, west and east of me, for all the eye can see islands full of these players. What happened to playing the game for fun, and entertainment? Have we all sunk this low? Pouring tons of money into a game to come out to be number one? Can you not just be number one, by playing a fair game? I know that gold isn't cheating, blah, blah, blah, but for us who can't afford it, or want to play a fair game, there should be a world where that is possible. I can't even have fun in the events anymore like Sparta V. Hades, because it is rigged against me, there is absolutely no chance, what so ever that I can rank in the top 10 and get those awesome rewards, without pouring gold into the cracks and crevices. I know this is suppose to be a newspaper, and ranting isn't really something that people want to read about, but this is a serious issue.
MRA's and Academy's
Now do I seriously have to say what the actual lololol. Now, understand that I am being extremely hypocritical because I am a member of the largest MRA in the world. Don't fret though, I still totally believe what I am about to write. Is it necessary? Really, is it? Because if it is, can someone explain to me why? For you who don't know what a MRA is, it is a Mass Recruiting Alliance, an alliance that uses all of the available slots for members. Typically these only get referred in worlds with 60+ slots. Mostly because these alliances house simmers and inactive players. My other major issue, which is probably the only thing that gets me angrier than MRA's is alliances that have Academy's. Because, 75 slots aren't enough. They need 150 slots. Like REALLY?!?!?!?!? I am getting all worked up. Time to move on.
Top 5 Alliances
1. Epidemic 757726 points 72 players 160417 TBP
Now this is my alliance, so I can't say much without having a tad bit of bias in their favor. The alliance is extremely organized, clear rules, and great leadership. My gut feeling says this alliance will float. Not swim, I feel as if there is probably a cue waiting to happen. I could be completely wrong. All I know is this alliance will not sink, quickly at least.
2. Old School Grepo Legends 755762 points 74 players 162120 TBP
What really grinds my gears (love family guy), is that this alliance is full of players who are not old school grepo legends, in fact, more than half are not. They are bringing shame to the name. It is really offensive really. Plus, the old school legends would use a way 'cooler' name than the one they have used. Leadership seems to be strong from what I can tell, plus they are up there on TBP. I would say this alliance will float. There are quite a few simmers between them and their academy, which will be skipped in this top 5.
3. Dominators 432053 points 70 players 115305 TBP
Just. No. Who ever choose this name. Just no. Choose a real word first. Unless you were mimicking the old school British TV show, there is no reason to use this name. Leadership seems a bit wheezy, and disorganized, but for an alliance filled up players with little no no experience, they are doing quite well. I actually will mark this alliance to swim. Taking a risk with my reputation here, but I think it is worth it.
4. The Lost Boys 390341 points 72 players 78561 TBP
Well, they don't seem to lost, to be ranked number 4 (5 in the game). Organized and strong leadership. Their main flaw is the extra fat, simmers are holding them down from their real potential. Swim.
5. The Varangian Guard 382213 points 58 players 82420 TBP
FINALLY. The first non MRA on this list. Well, they are, but considerably better than the rest of the alliances. I know the leadership is strong and was very successful and past worlds. Again, crappy name, but I will look past that because they aren't an MRA. SWIMMMM!
Closing Statement
Thank you again for reading my paper. Each week it will get a little bit better. This was kinda a last moment throw together. I will be working on getting some interviews for next week. If you notice a typo PM me so we can clear that up, as well as any false information. Again thumbs up is welcomed! Please send hate mail to my account, and leave it off the forum so the moderators don't have to work so hard to clear it up!
Best wishes, your lowly humble servant, Porter.
