--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WARNING FOR WALL OF TEXT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In October 12th 2016 I joined this world. I joined it with a Swedish premade and we created the tribe HUNTER together. I remember in the early days how it started of quite nicely. We were a nice gang of Swedes and I didn't really have any expectations on this world. Just joined to experience something different than the usual Swedish worlds (and it became very different indeed). I knew no one except my Swedish friends, but it didn't take long until I met and got to know some amazing players.
Pretty early on I met Max on the strenghts account, a very good and nice player. As we were losing some players in HUNTER and the premade was soon gone we decided to merge with his tribe, Devils. We weren't a great tribe at that time, just a mid rank tribe among the others. Shortly after this we got some nice recruitments though. gooders17, Insomnia, TobiastheBold, star123. And this is when the tribe really started to kick off. Even though gooders and star didn't play this world seriously they were still well known names to attract other good players. This is also when I started to get to know some great players. But I'll talk more about that later.
At this point of the world our diplomatic status wasn't the greatest, we didn't have any close friends really. I think we had a NAP with OLD, also with TEA and a temporarily one with War4al. This NAP with OLD soon developed into an alliance as we both had some common interests in getting rid of War4al. And so we did, together. We still saw TEA as the main threat though, and so did OLD I think. This is when we decided to split OLD into us and REFORM, get two strong tribes, and then fight TEA. However this didn't turn out exactly as planned. It lasted for a while, we cancelled our NAP with TEA and fought them (REFORM were already fighting them in the south), and unfortunately they collapsed quickly. I guess we teared them apart...
After this war things started going downhill. Personal conflicts that I wasn't really involved in and I still don't know what happened exactly, but all of a sudden OLD had been reformed, parts of REFORM was still there but with a new name (WP) and HUNTER was back to the original, although with some new faces, Foxtrot and gameinaal. Two players that later became those I trust the most on this server, along with insomnia who had been loyal to HUNTER almost since the beginning. Anyway, things between us and OLD + WP weren't the greatest. The alliance with OLD was still intact and we had a temporarily NAP with WP.
These relations however changed rapidly. Apparently we broke the alliance with OLD, even though I know for a fact that they attacked us in the west first when they hit killakombo20, CommradeG and REzo. Whatever, the war soon started. WP merged into OLD and we recruited two OLD players who didn't like how things were done over there. Understandable. Punk N Punkette and The.Red.Dragon, two truly amazing players and I'm glad I've got to play by their side. So, inevitably war broke out. And yeah it was fine, a good tight war. They took our isolated vills, we pushed on the FL. A fun world so far with some good wars.
But then bad things started to happen. killakombo20 who was in our tribe joined OLD (no surprise the knew about our OPs) which changed things drastically. The entire west front was lost, and it didn't stop there. They soon recruited Godspeed from GITS as well, and yeah the western front was doomed. But well, HUNTER was still standing relatively strong, we had some internals to deal with due to people losing motivation (basically because of the dirty tricks OLD pulled), nothing we couldn't deal with though. Those who were left were strong and active players.
As both GITS and HUNTER lost players we decided to merge. Not the best merge I've ever done but it was our only shot really. But then OLD decided to recruit ANOTHER ONE from us(!!!). This time lord eni. To be precise, he wasn't in HUNTER as he didn't like the thought of a merge (I think?), but he started with GITS from the beginning and had been there the entire world, until good guys OLD comes and recruit him. Like it wasn't enough already, huh? No, no! Let's recruit some more from the enemy! Oh well, if you want to play like that. Fine. Anything for a win, right? But that was it for me. Congratulations to the win OLD. Some I can say deserve it, however most don't.
People wonder why the UK server is getting smaller. "Why are people moving to .net?" "Why don't new players keep playing here?" Maybe you have the answer right here. Never in my life have I experienced a world like this. Never. I've only played on the Swedish server though, and some on .net, and sure some dirty things happen there too. But this is on a whole different level and something completely new to me. Maybe I've been blessed. Although this world doesn't seem to be the only one where things like this happen, W31 where I play has started in a similar way. Have I chosen the wrong worlds to play? When I talk to people they say it's been like this since W25. So don't be silly and ask why UK is losing players. This is of course not the only reason, but I'm sure it has a lot to do with it. It's not like those new players who started this world fell in love with the game... And I don't blame them. W31 will probably be my last UK world.
Players I will remember in a good way:
TobiastheBold - Toby, Mitch and Shaun. You guys were missed at the end of this world. So different personalities but still working so well together. Toby tragically had to leave this world, I hope it's better with you now. And Mitch, you have to love his attitude. The amount of time he spent here sitting different accounts and doing everything for the tribe. It's admirable. And saving the best until last, Shaun. He has still stuck around somehow (at least in the chats). Him and Mitch had to carry the account when Toby left, and they did it so well. Keep in mind they didn't only handle their own account, they usually had a few sits every day.
Insomnia - I knew when this account joined that this was some good stuff. TW-Stats don't lie, or actually in some cases it does, but not in this case. Beaver, Chrissy and Nathan, without you we would never have come this far. Them combined makes one of the best accounts here on the UK server. Beaver loves his barbs, and farming (which is a bit contradictory), always active and loyal. Been there by my side since the beginning. And Chrissy just knowing literally everyone. I don't think there's anyone she doesn't know on UK. Immense fighting spirit, even when the world seemed the most hopeless she never showed any sign of giving up. Nathan, your night rants were the best. Sometimes you just woke up to a long mail and always signed with "Ruler of hell".
The.Red.Dragon - Jake solo riding this account. That's impressive if you ask me. I remember when he first switched tribe from OLD to us and he got absolutely battered. Somehow got his way up to the top again and was one of the strongest accounts at the end again. What a journey, could have stayed in OLD and got a dirty win, but I'm glad you didn't and I think you are too. Better to fall down with some honour left at least.
gameinaal - Luca and Masters the main guys here. I know in mid-game you didn't have the biggest of accounts. But then as you joined us, wow. This account just kept going on like a machine. And yeah, it didn't take long until you guys were top 5 of the world. Super activity, never hesitated to take a sit, at some point I'm sure you had like 4 sits plus your own account to handle. That's what I call dedication. It's a shame it didn't pay off in a win, because you would have deserved it so much.
Honourable mentions:
NordicViking, spelly, Red Baron 2 and Revmoved - All been there since early days. Three kind of different player types. NordicViking one of the top supporters in the tribe, always there to help out with def. Spelly, never had the biggest account in the tribe but wow, always gave everything he had. Red Baron 2, impressed on me at the end of the world. Really stepped up his game then. Revmoved, one of the top attackers in the tribe. Only Insomnia has a bit more, but that's with a more than double sized account. All hard working players, hope to see and play with you again.
