Wills account was pretty inactive on W14 too, was only online for about 23 and a half hours a day :lol:
Nah my account was very active on UK14 until after Christmas (it was about 12-15 hours a day) when Cam disappeared due to incomings and Neo had family visiting all the time (or something like that) so couldn't play.
In defense of Will... he did have exams and his two co-players disappear just before those incomings popped up on W14 and he lost villages... Honestly, it's true... I'm not taking the .....
I agree with you on all your points about tribes not fighting etc.
No, I told Cam and Neo I would be away from 28th (or 29th, somewhere around then) of December until 4th of January and I was away for that time. I came back to find them not dodging anything (not even the offence), losing 70%+ of the troops and a few villages and not calling for support or anything alike.
Then, once I came back, they both went AWOL leaving me solo on the account.
I had my exams, but I still played a fair bit on it - as much as I could anyway. However, obviously I barely did much other than stack/rebuild/occasional farming (I hauled like 5mil in total in the whole of January and before January I was coming up to or on 5mil a day if I remember correctly)
Now, if I can fix my skype settings and put back on my chat logs (which I will happily try if you want) I can prove all of this to you. Also if I could get my logins from the world back then I would be able to as well. Unfortunately, I cannot do the second unless TW support would give it to me.
I don't see why you are jumping to the conclusions that all my excuses are bull, when they have clear valid evidence.
I have a very good history of defending etc and in EVERY world I have played since and including W58 I have been mass attacked during start up onwards mostly due to very good growth (as proven by forum posts I have been leaked, people trying to 'stop the threats' and such) but always maintained my top ranks APART from UK14 for obvious reasons.
Heck, an example would be UK8 which people should remember (such as Paul as he experienced it on the other side) as they played the worlds.. I was under constant attack from about 20k onwards to 500k (when I quit, just after they all stopped) and I lost 0 villages, had the highest ODD, killed the most nobles and literally sniped over 100 trains with no ms gap.
If you are active, defending is incredibly easy.
