    May be a little off-topic, but I always think it's very diplomatic to kill someone's scouts! What's so funny about this one is I killed his scout with NO OFFENSIVE TROOPS! :)http://speed.travian.co.uk/berichte.php?id=15898707

    yeah, but it was launched by a 14 year old.
    you can't expect much tactical scouting from such a little boy...
    who posts his exact latitude and longitude for anyone to see.
    *sigh*

    Your Majesty,

    Greetings from ARRSE NW and its leaders.

    I would ask a boon from you, we are currently having fun in the NW defending one or 2 villiages from some Zero X players. We have so far given them a very bloody nose and are continuing to do so.

    Our leaders thought that as we are allied, you might like to participate?

    Firstly as a demonstration of goodwill between us as we are close allies, secondly to enable all of us to inflict damage on the larger alliances, giving them pause to reconsider their attacks on smaller alliances.

    I must emphase that we do not require your assistance in this matter, rather offer your alliance a chance to work with us.

    Your thoughts on this matter would be much appreicated.

    Rgds

    Without looking them up on a map, where are these villages located?

    Well, I have about 600 druid riders and 400 phalanxes... but I doubt they'd be able to do much against Zero X.

    No problems, we have had to re-think our strategy and probably from tomorrow will go into an alliance with someone which may change the aspect of this server.

    Obviously I cannot say much at this stage but it may then mean we have to cancel all our current alliances as we work out who we can be allied with and who we cannot.
    Interesting.

    They make a point of saying that they don't need us, ask for help and when we say no they want to cancel the alliance.

    i kinda hope its because they're collapsing and falling apart internally...
    to be fair, we hadn't said no to helping them, we were just getting ready for it, so i think it may not be that

    I wasn't sure if we'd said no or not, but judging by what they said I assumed we had :tongue:

    What was the reply from their original correspondence? Or did they go ahead and do that because a reply didn't come soon enough?

    I replied asking for the location and saying I'd be happy to help but couldn't personally commit to it at the moment.

    BLA2's diplomat accidentally removed our alliance, then contacted me to fix it. In the 30 minutes that elapsed, Rock-hörnchen launched a 23-hour attack against the diplomat / largest member in the SW quadrant.

    :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    I told him he wouldn't have any trouble swatting it aside. I trust it's nothing more than some infantry. :rolleyes:

    Soooo... maybe an alliance slot opening up?

    hmmm, that response is on the fence but it is very abrupt action to cancel alliances within two wings both in a 10 min span. It can be taken as hostile but if they're asking for help, then they needn't be thinking about taking a run at us as a result of a misguided back-lash upon us. However, I do believe we need to send a response back making it clear that we at this time, have our own strains to deal with. For sure with a chance to study the targeted villages and be in a proximity to help out, we shall help out.

    Rock-hörnchen - Who the heck is this guy?! We really need people to be checking into this board before they even think of launching this kind of bs.

    Edit - It's admirable what he did sticking up for the alliance, but we can't have this kind of stuff happening over a mistake.

    They've allied with Zero, thus removing the rest of their affiliations.

    i thought that would be it.
    just shows, if we're to ally with Zero we need to all grow a lot, and when we make the transition we may have to lose all affliations with other alliances.

    If we ally with Zero that also gives godsend a reason to stop... He's technically attacking his own alliance.

    please dont take this the wrong way it is just a suggestion and a refusal does not offend,lol,
    we are 3 wings at the moment bla which is the main one and bla2 and bla3,we all help each other out but we keep our independance,we are looking for other alliances to come with us but we want level headed good people,and talking to you ,your alliance seems to fit what we are looking for,

    i assure you this does not mean you will be governed by the main bla,you will be independant but will have the back up of this alliance and so you would back us up,you would still run your alliance your own way as you like without interference,apart from the need for a little help should it be required,

    you can even keep your own name as long as bla4 which you would be was in the title something like bla4/{ic},please dont dismiss this out of hand please have a think about it,we are not an aggressive alliance unless provoked we just want to have fun,let me know what you think and i will try to answer any questions you have should you contemplate this,

    regards

    I'll run it up the flag pole on our forum, but my most immediate concern is that you're all in a different quadrant, and the maximum distance (400 tiles) from where our alliance is gathering. I don't see how we could effectively assist each other given it would take us 24+ hours to reach each other.

    it would mean we have a presence in that area and with having four wings it would possibly make any attackers think twice,also with a tourny field its not that far,lol,also this server will be ending soon but if we consolodate now if you are going to the next server then we can arrange to all go to the same area or split into two areas with two wings each,but at least there will be company straight away,lol,i think this might be called long term planning,lol

    lol... we could become "IC BLA"
    i don't know how that's funny, but if you think IC as in 'i see' then it makes less sense and becomes funny :)

    but no is my vote...

    There is nothing in it for us right now and it being BLA4 looks like we're the fourth most powerful of the BLA Alliances. Right now, I can only find BLA and BLA2. We're ranked higher than BLA2 (134) but no where close to BLA (34).

    I vote no... I would shoot for Fear next. Also, since ARRSE was able to hook up with Zero, why not us as a wing?
  • HarudathHarudath Great Britain Icrontian

    I think once we explain to Zero we're barely a couple months old and we're almost in the top 100... But my vote is no to BLA, too far away 'n not worth it.

    I think they'd insist on "BLA IC" because of their parent wing.

    Fourstar just mentioned that fact to me earlier today. He applauded our meteoric rise in power. He claimed that our level headed approach and diplomatic correspondences helped.

    What we did is pacify the big guys by being overall good guys. The jerks like godsend are really the only reason we're not already in the top 100. Imagine if we had a nice strong powerbase AND outpost. We could be funneling resources from the outpost to the powerbase and sending troops to the outpost to rest. We could have fielded massive armies much closer to the action than trying to fight from long range.

    Flying off the handle and being childish makes enemies. We, for the most part, were able to make the other guy laugh and back off.
