We could make some stats about last-day alliance names: loner..............
2 era's ago, I was playing in an alliance with my son. We fought more wars than most other alliances, and it was the era I learnt most from. We fought damn hard all era, but we weren't high on the ladder, due to the stupid ranking system. How an alliance can fight 1 war, and end up high on the ladder at the end is beyond me.......anyway, I digress. With one week to go, our 'smart' leader decided it would be a good idea to declare war on about 5 alliances. He then booted us all out, leaving himself only, and he was to make a strike on each of the alliances, and get a positive score for each, then go into vacation mode for the end of the era. He did all this without telling us. Damn, I was angry
when I got up that morning to find out what had happened.
We'd fought our arses off all era, and he left us high and dry at the end. As I said at the time, we would have rathered died trying to get higher, than take a cheaters way and get shafted like that as well.
So from that point I became loner, and just went around smashing anything that was standing still. The next era was better. I lead some good players and fought hard. Again we fought more battles than most, and struggled to stay above 0 on the rankings, but we had fun, and that's what the game is about.
And I had fun this era too. Thank-you all. And Merry Christmas.
