1. WOTN
2. SKY
3. GHOSTS
4. unfortunatly the duke of HR didnt wish to participate, so will have to respect his wishes on this, on the plus side my ex duke of SQUAD very kindly agreed to be interviewed over skype, a umm interesting take non the the less
SQUAD

1. WOTN

1. So first of all thanks for agreeing to be talked down to by yours truly, on a serious note, congratulation on duking a top 5 tribe, whats the secret?
Marksmayn Oct 05, 23:58
Teamwork has been the main reason our tribe has got to where it is now. If anyone asks for help, be it support, advice or just someone to chat with there's always someone there to help them.
Our council are especially helpful (got to big them up haven't I
d1mension Oct 05, 23:58
2. Just for forum readers who don't know you, whats your previous playing/leading experience?
Marksmayn Oct 06, 00:00
Leading, none at all. I started this world with a group of friends that i grew up with, we never expected to end up with a full time job!
Learned the basic mechanics of the game back on w22 but I lost my login details sadly, it wasn't anything impressive though. Looking to change that on 24
d1mension Oct 06, 00:00
3. What do you make of w24 so far, for see some stiff competition or a walk in the park?
Marksmayn Oct 06, 00:03
I think we've had a good start to the world. There are a handful of people that have slowed us down, [player]*GranTorino[/player] being one of them, as for the rest I would say it has been pretty smooth.
The 3 real contenders are SKY/Ghosts/WOTN, there may be rim tribes in the future but right now those are the 3 to look out for, all with very experienced players.
d1mension Oct 06, 00:04
4. As undiplomatic as possible, who's your best player/s i appreciate a tribe is a sum of all its parts, but who's your front runner, who's your rock?
Marksmayn Oct 06, 00:07
Our best player has to be [player]HypnoFrog[/player], from my personal experience with him he knows his stuff, one of the best farmers as he goes literally 24 hours a day.
Would have to give a mention to [player]Katsup[/player] as well.
Everyone is good in their own way, the newer players are getting there as we are teaching them the mechanics of the game.
d1mension Oct 06, 00:08
5. So its apparently a hot topic on the forums, we've all got different opinions, whats your on pp micro transaction usage?
Marksmayn Oct 06, 00:08
What's my take on it?
d1mension Oct 06, 00:10
yep
Marksmayn Oct 06, 00:11
I don't really mind, I mean it's obvious some people have abused pp just to get a head start but I've used pp to get 20% resource bonus so I can't really say something. Nearly every game has have a pay to win feature so what can we do haha.
d1mension Oct 06, 00:12
6. If you had to sum up your tribe in 1 word what would it be?
Marksmayn Oct 06, 00:21
Loyal
d1mension Oct 06, 00:27
7. Who's your biggest threat, as in tribe?
Marksmayn Oct 06, 00:31
Can't really tell at the minute, i would still class this as early game however i would have to say the rank 2 and 3 tribes (SKY/Ghosts). Both have experienced players that could stop us in our tracks. We have good relations with SKY though so there isn't really a sense of threat. Ghosts are a new tribe so diplomacy hasn't been settled.
d1mension Oct 06, 00:33
8. Some tribes are known for being all rounders, some are top opp'ers, some are tough nuts to crack, what would you say is your tribes biggest strength, and its biggest weakness?
Marksmayn Oct 06, 00:38
Our biggest strength is our positioning, some might think because we are so compact it might restrict us but that isn't the case, if we were to get opped then we could easily get support to and member. This might be why we haven't lost too many villages
d1mension Oct 06, 00:39
9. On a scale of 1/10, how much do you want to mother d1mensions children??
Marksmayn Oct 06, 00:40
9/11.
d1mension Oct 06, 00:40
10. If you had to pick one player from outside your tribe to join you, who would it be and why?
Marksmayn Oct 06, 00:42
Insomnia, he's just all over me on skype, like he won't leave me alone so i'd have to give it to him.
Nah, he's a good player, very active due to having a co, daily achievements show that. Knows what he's talking about and has a level head. Can take a joke too, it's a shame he cheats for looter though :/
d1mension Oct 06, 00:44
11. And finally, if i said WOTN were due a red wedding you'd say?
Marksmayn Oct 06, 00:47
The North remembers.
d1mension Oct 06, 00:49
hehe thank you very much
2. SKY

Insomnia Oct 05, 23:21
No problem, I started sky with Hummel3223 after playing the previous world with him so straight off we know a lot of people who wanted to join I talked to a few friends on previous worlds and got them to join, once they joined we put together a council with good players who get on who each bringing their own unique skill and from there our decisions and team work of the tribe have got us to where we are now
d1mension Oct 05, 23:21
2. Just for forum readers who don't know you, whats your previous playing/leading experience?
Insomnia Oct 05, 23:29
My last known name was unity before coing, played the last 3 worlds seen some really corrupt stuff but I learn from it and it teaches me to make better decisions and the kind of people to watch out for I've been council every world I've played if not my choice I've somehow ended up with it
d1mension Oct 05, 23:29
3. What do you make of w24 so far, for see some stiff competition or a walk in the park?
Insomnia Oct 05, 23:33
I'll never look at something as a walk in the park, I'll see it as a challenge no matter what it is, I know a lot of people in other tribes and I know they aren't as easy as a walk in the park so should be fun
d1mension Oct 05, 23:33
4. As undiplomatic as possible, who's your best player/s i appreciate a tribe is a sum of all its parts, but who's your front runner, who's your rock?
Insomnia Oct 05, 23:39
My honest opinion without favouritism, the two people I co with, I say it if I wasn't co playing with them, they are like robots when playing know what to do at every situation
If you show this it is my view unity/Alex
d1mension Oct 05, 23:40
5. So its apparently a hot topic on the forums, we've all got different opinions, whats your on pp micro transaction usage?
Insomnia Oct 05, 23:45
Pp is a part of the game now, a little here and there doesn't hurt, I don't tend to use loads to get me far in the game but if people want to then it's building villas for me to take
d1mension Oct 05, 23:46
6. If you had to sum up your tribe in 1 word what would it be?
Insomnia Oct 05, 23:53
Intelligent
d1mension Oct 05, 23:53
7. Who's your biggest threat, as in tribe?
Insomnia Oct 05, 23:55
WOTN
d1mension Oct 05, 23:56
8. Some tribes are known for being all rounders, some are top opp'ers, some are tough nuts to crack, what would you say is your tribes biggest strength, and its biggest weakness?
Insomnia Oct 06, 00:04
Our biggest strength is we know what to do and can do it and the weakness is hot headed
d1mension Oct 06, 00:04
9. On a scale of 1/10, how much do you want to mother d1mensions children??
Insomnia Oct 06, 00:05
Mother.... -000.5
d1mension Oct 06, 00:06
10. If you had to pick one player from outside your tribe to join you, who would it be and why?
Insomnia Oct 06, 00:15
Not really wanting anyone really but if it was to be someone it would be mozzza, good player and make for a great chat
d1mension Oct 06, 00:17
11. And finaly, skynet are known for destroying the world in the future, however Wotn are looking alot like John connor, you'd say?
Insomnia Oct 06, 00:19
Id say they like us a bit more than John conner did lol
d1mension Oct 06, 00:29
haha thank you very much
Insomnia Oct 06, 00:40
No problem
3. GHOSTS

1. So first of all thanks for agreeing to be talked down to by yours truly, on a serious note, congratulation on duking a top 5 tribe, whats the secret?
Ani Mal Oct 05, 23:04
well when i quit sky i wasn't expecting to be leading a top 5 so soon.
i used the fact that i know quite a few people from other worlds to start recruitment, i recruited the best of Timing into my new tribe. unfortunately this is frowned upon as i did recruit refugees of war, but i believe that i can take them to glory ;]
d1mension Oct 05, 23:05
2. Just for forum readers who don't know you, whats your previous playing/leading experience?
Ani Mal Oct 05, 23:09
well i used to play tw a lot when i was younger, but then i took a 3-4 year break in the game. i think my biggest account had just over 4mil points on the polish server before i quit.
as a leader i have lead a few tribes and been on council on many more, but this is the first world where i am leading a tribe that i have actually founded
d1mension Oct 05, 23:10
3. What do you make of w24 so far, for see some stiff competition or a walk in the park?
Ani Mal Oct 05, 23:11
so far it is just one big political nightmare, too many snakes around every corner
d1mension Oct 05, 23:12
4. As undiplomatic as possible, who's your best player/s i appreciate a tribe is a sum of all its parts, but who's your front runner, who's your rock?
Ani Mal Oct 05, 23:13
i think that right now there are a few layers that i can say have helped me out a lot, not just on this world.
d1mension Oct 05, 23:14
5. So its apparently a hot topic on the forums, we've all got different opinions, whats your on pp micro transaction usage?
Ani Mal Oct 05, 23:16
i think that some of the features are useful, but there are too many of them now, so unless you know how to use the market to your advantage or have deep pockets, you need to find another game.
it does make me sad but unfortunately thats just the way it is
d1mension Oct 05, 23:17
6. If you had to sum up your tribe in 1 word what would it be?
Ani Mal Oct 05, 23:17
underdogs
d1mension Oct 05, 23:18
7. Who's your biggest threat, as in tribe?
Ani Mal Oct 05, 23:20
[ally]wotn.[/ally] - they have 2 academy tribes now, where as we dont have one.
they out number us 3 -1 and they do have certain quality players in there
d1mension Oct 05, 23:20
8. Some tribes are known for all rounders, some are top opp'ers, some are tough nuts to crack, what would you say is biggest strength, and its biggest weakness?
Ani Mal Oct 05, 23:27
hahaha, as for strengths, i have some of the best minded and tactical players in the tribe. the fact that they have worked together for most of this world before i took control always helps, so even if i don't know something i can always ask my baron and he will be able to give me guidance.
as for weaknesses i have some of the biggest egos in this tribe (just take a look at my members list hehe) and a lot of players with bad blood against other tribes and twitchy trigger fingers, so diplomacy could be a bitch.
d1mension Oct 05, 23:30
9. On a scale of 1/10, how much do you want to mother d1mensions children??
Ani Mal Oct 05, 23:32
do you really think you could handle a bunch of animals running around?? ;]
d1mension Oct 05, 23:33
10. If you had to pick one player from outside your tribe to join you, who would it be and why?
Ani Mal Oct 05, 23:36
theres more than one that i would like to join
d1mension Oct 06, 00:11
11. if i said you ghosts were about as scary as Patrick swayze in a tutu ud say??
Ani Mal Oct 06, 00:14
that is pretty terrifying hahaha
4. unfortunatly the duke of HR didnt wish to participate, so will have to respect his wishes on this, on the plus side my ex duke of SQUAD very kindly agreed to be interviewed over skype, a umm interesting take non the the less
SQUAD
[23:02:40] d1mension: 1. So first of all thanks for agreeing to be talked down to by yours truly
, on a serious note, congratulation on duking a top 5 tribe, whats the secret?
[23:05:11] The Engineer: The secret? Well, it wouldn't be a secret if I were to tell you?
Although I'll tell you anyway. Its called "premium points". Those top tribes love them. They'll spend £100 on it if they have too, those market merchants are always busy with it, and well, I bribed a few of the players with them. They're like kids with candies... Noobs the lot of them.
[23:05:41] d1mension: 2. Just for forum readers who don't know you, whats your previous playing/leading experience?
[23:06:26] The Engineer: Not much really, played a couple of previous worlds, but would always get nobled by someone within the first 2 weeks
[23:06:50] d1mension: 3. What do you make of w24 so far, for see some stiff competition or a walk in the park?
[23:10:59] The Engineer: Well, as I see it... -sky- have just had a reject child, can't remember his name, but he made the new tribe Ghosts. No doubt they'll create another academy tribe called "GhostA" or something retarded like that. Just like all of the other top tribes have done.
I think the people in sky and SKY2 are children, as they spend so much money on premium points, it can't be there own money. With that said, school term has started, so they'll be laying off the premium now as mummy and daddy have other stuff to be spending their money on... Kinda explains why eimis202 has gone so crap.
So, finally i'll say sky will fall apart, except for the one's who can pay for their own pp. The other tribes will pick up the villa's, then internally fall apart, and cry about it.
[23:13:33] d1mension: 4. As undiplomatic as possible, who's your best player/s i appreciate a tribe is a sum of all its parts, but who's your front runner, who's your rock?
[23:15:23] The Engineer: My rock would probably have to be spacejunky. His name even screams out to me "I'm amazing" in so many ways. He's loyal, as he's never left the tribe at all. He's determined, in a way that he's expecting to take on Mr Puddykins.
Shame he's not going to win it.
[23:16:24] d1mension: 5. So its apparently a hot topic on the forums, we've all got different opinions, whats your on pp micro transaction usage?
[23:18:59] The Engineer: Premium points... The stuff that splits the noobs from the experienced. Or should I say the rich and the experienced. Experience doesn't need premium points, they cope without it.
On the other hand, those silver spooned, 6 year old children that whore premium points in this world (Yes SKY2, you), should be banned. Or should just be rejected from using premium points ever again. Would love to see them suffer.
[23:19:38] d1mension: 6. If you had to sum up your tribe in 1 word what would it be?
[23:19:59] The Engineer: Disappointment.
[23:20:19] d1mension: 7. Who's your biggest threat, as in tribe?
[23:22:06] The Engineer: Tribe? It would have to be T-C. They're recent name change caught us off guard, then when they changed it back again, it left us in the open for a full scale name change war.
I hope this doesn't happen in the future, we aren't ready for this type of war.
[23:23:12] d1mension: 8. Some tribes are known for being all rounders, some are top opp'ers, some are tough nuts to crack, what would you say is your tribes biggest strength, and its biggest weakness?
[23:25:52] The Engineer: Our biggest strength as a tribe is in-activeness. You won't be able to find another tribe on this world who can beat us on in-activeness I guarantee it.
Weakness, I'd have to say diplomacy. Nobody wants to be friends with us, its kind of sad really. Are we really this un-approachable?
[23:26:21] d1mension: 9. On a scale of 1/10, how much do you want to mother d1mensions children??
[23:28:13] The Engineer: 2, for 2 reasons;
1) I'm not a woman, and I can't be bothered going through the process of changing to a woman. I mean have you seen "Caitlyn Jenner"?? F*ck me, no thank you.
2) With that outa mind, I suppose parenting d1mensions child(ren) wouldn't be too bad.
[23:29:08] d1mension: 10. If you had to pick one player from outside your tribe to join you, who would it be and why?
[23:31:13] The Engineer: Hmm, this is a tough one. Probably Ani Mal. He showed great un-loyalty leaving his previous tribe, and then making his own. Only thing he needs to do now is go to war with them! Ha!
I love this kind of characteristics in a player, these players make the worlds worth while playing.
[23:32:46] d1mension: 11. And finale question, if i said the only SQUAD that was comparable to you was micronesia's football team, ie the one that often loses 30-40 nil, you would say?
[23:34:40] The Engineer: Pfft, what can I say? Only thing I can say is Spot on mate, bit of a compliment though, so thank you for that.
I mean, if it wasn't for spacejunky, we'd be 100x worse, so unless he gets nobled by some unknown player near him who's 4x his size, we should be good for now.
[23:05:11] The Engineer: The secret? Well, it wouldn't be a secret if I were to tell you?
Although I'll tell you anyway. Its called "premium points". Those top tribes love them. They'll spend £100 on it if they have too, those market merchants are always busy with it, and well, I bribed a few of the players with them. They're like kids with candies... Noobs the lot of them.
