some say that dandare is stig

i wont call this a war tbh . it is clear that neither tribes are trying hard enough, im positive that w1n are more capable. but im also sure that t4h aren't doing much either they should pull themselves together for as sooner they fall the sooner the world will end, a lot of weight on these guys shoulders, if this IS the most important war, ill say its a boring one.
w1n had much more fun times before while spreading very thin and fighting couple of fronts at the same time, im talking about times where not all could afford to send support out cz they had tons of incomins on their side also.

Side 1:
Tribes: W1N
Side 2:
Tribes: T4H

Timeframe: Last month

Total conquers against opposite side:

Side 1: 642
Side 2: 110
Difference: 532

timmyhill... good posts , nice read . shame he is out.

 

[DeletedUser10421]

You did not ask which war was the most exciting but the important ! As W1N and i suppose T4H have won all their previous wars then by that statement then this is the most important war.

 

[DeletedUser]

you are narrowing the question, im sure that those days were very important , as the slightest mistake both from the council & the teams (ex: choosing allies and keeping good terms with them at critical moments and so on) would meant the failure of w1n, but now i cant see w1n falling from bad decisions made by the council, as there are no more decisions left since they are warring the last tribe on the world worth mentioning.
and since the tribe was spreading very thin at some point, im positive that if luke made a mistake w1n would've been so far behind than where they are atm. so yes i mean important.

 

[DeletedUser10421]

Wars are won by aggression. If you think that there is no point to attacking as you will lose then you will. As W1N are the most aggressive then they by definition have never come close to losing a war. Every war has been important as it has meant expansion. The most important war to most of the current W1N members was the silent war and the merge of CHE into W1N.

first u said one thing, then u pointed out the exact opposite.

Dantsu if u would please stop speculating about what i think, that would be gr8 :icon_wink: .
im not saying that w1n were not aggressive as i believe that they were more aggressive then , than now , and even in those days , they were very close on losing wars , but the w1n council ohhh pure class, they played all their cards right , the guys behind the curtains did a gr8 job.

let me tell u a scenario that w1n couldve lost if bad decisions were made and when w1n were spreading really thin.

at the time where w1n was warring orc for the first time, where their front lines weren't protected well enough due to cody firing his nukes early (u remember the little badass tribe they created with matt and avatar) , luke took them back and chomper declared ?? at that time support was dragged from the mid and south of w1n to the frontlines, IF later Luke and the council didnt manage to keep a good relation with t4h or IWL or even TR who were really lame , they wouldve caused a major problem to w1n if they hit at that time, but the applause goes to the council for doing a good job.

why a serious problem ?? not just the fact that troops traveling from south to north takes 60-->90 hours but calling them back ? thats what 180 hours ? ur getting what i mean right ? w1n south borders was protected by at most 15 players , u do the math , without the D to spare , nukes would mean nothing, aggressiveness would be worthless without the D to fill in the blanks.


so yes w1n was at 1 point on the verge of losing their wars . and im positive that many w1n members would agree silently with what im saying :icon_twisted:

 

[DeletedUser10421]

wouldn't have a clue, wasn't in W1N then. Yet my point is still valid if they had attacked they might have won. They did not because they believed they would lose. Who knows where the D is ?

 

[DeletedUser]

w1n suffered from A spy brought in from the merger of EPIC or DOA if im not mistaken, and he knew where the D was :lol:

Yet my point is still valid if they had attacked they might have won

that's my point also Dantsu, I've been trying to say that in the last 2 posts.

no , not out of fear, TR were full of themselves , and were pushing W1N really hard by making demands . TR thought that they were gr8 and nothing could stop a 280 people family. but i think Luke was a good diplo and was able to get T4H on his side and keep TR shut with hard negotiations.

 

[DeletedUser]

A lot of ifs and buts there to be honest. TR bottled every big opportunity they had but you're right in the sense if a few tribes had seen beyond their own self-preservation and banded together properly, things would have been interesting.

In terms of there only being a handful of players in the south at that point, I don't see that as a negative. The squad system has always served well and a small group of active, well-drilled players can be more than a match for a 50 or so half-baked players.

As for the comment about W1N at one point losing their wars, I don't see how that holds any water. We've been behind in one, maybe two consecutively but at no point has their been a collective sense we were "losing". Call it confidence (arrogance?) but it's that belief we'd always aggressively outlast that's paid off.

no it is not a negative thing, and the squad system surely worked for w1n since they held rank 1 since the stone ages, but when u have a said squad sending all their D to a totally opposite front thinking that they are completely safe bcz they were surrounded with allies ie: TR/t4H/IWL . my point was not that those 15 could not fend off a whole average family tribe of 200 + another family of 200 + yet another tribe of 40~ players, im talking that those 15 at that exact point would had to fend of those numbers without their D troops since those troops were marching north, PS: remember that W1N had a singing bird back then , and since i know this info , others could know about it very easily also. and to be realistic , even with their D the southern 15 players could not fend the said tribes alone without the help from the north, as the south was always 3 k's open and had 5 fronts.
cutting it short, that point where w1n and orc were warring , w1n was vulnerable for about a week or 2.

im not saying that w1n was close to losing a war literally with the same parties involved. im saying that the council of w1n played a very big part at those times, avoiding a gangbang that would lead to a certain fall.

Yet another player that hides behind another name , know all know nothing springs to mind, whats your name so we can put you on the list to stroke your ego

i am under an alias for a reason that's all i can say.

Can't disagree with pretty much any of that of but just seems a bit of an odd hypothetical comment. Hindsight is a wonderful thing though. :icon_biggrin:

And yeah, if there had been a serious threat from the south/southwest, it would have pushed our resources to the limit but I think it's when you've seen the best of W1N - when we've had to fight on multiple fronts. It might have meant identifying and prioritising the biggest threat, and presented a considerable challenge for the council, but in the nicest possible way, it's still all ifs and buts and missed opportunities.

I was always a little disappointed that TR/UFA/ORC/KGM couldn't work through the collective paranoia and band together. And applying my own rose-tinted hindsight, it was down to horribly selfish leadership and a fear of W1N. TR flattered to deceive, ORC were vultures extreme and UFA were put in an untenable position as a result - fight W1N and watch TR and ORC swoop in or take the offer.

The one tribe I always loved were KGM. Kaelic, Redfella and a few others were brilliant.

 

[DeletedUser]

Apologies for the double post but don't want to derail the thread (much) :icon_biggrin:

1 - Start up. Not having the first clue as to what I was doing. Successfully pulling off diplomacy with Abdo in the first few weeks. No mean feat in hindsight!

2 - First world. Learnt a lot from the guys around me (collective noobishness) and the benefit of some good players in EPIC back in the day.

3 - Dandare. The majority don't realise how much work he does behind the scenes.

4 - Aga. The driving force behind more accounts than I remember. The most organised player I've come across.

5 - W1N v TR. More or less gave W1N free rein to push into the West. Only notable for TR's woeful failure.

6 - Last summer when the entire squad went on holiday (not together, I don't think :lol. 6 sat accounts aren't much fun.

7 -Dubby. Capable of being idiotically stubborn but always entertaining.

4. John Murray, for co-founding W1N*

*Also, Blue-Hunger for founding CHE then buggering off, clearing the way for the merger.

i would give the credits to luke, and not john, since john was so concerned about his own account and left all the tribal doings to luke. so john making a big impact, in my opinion no, but i think u knew him better .

Blue-Hunger full of ego , not a bad leader though , both CHE!!! and W1N needed that merger , for w1n had around 23~ very active members back then which with the merger they reached to 60 or so, it was a good choice to keep up with the on growing family tribes. but in my opinion it would've been one of the best wars, if not the best one that w1 could witness.

 

[DeletedUser]

1-When did u have the most fun in the world , and why ?
When I joined W1N (PAG/PEE were also good) I was able to show my attacking side better in W1N.
Setting up the Op`s on Harwood and bubbles was most fun. Both gone.

2-was this your first world ? if so who guided you ?
Yes first world. learned myself. set my plan early on and worked to it.

3-who do you think made a big impact on the world and is still playing ? and why ?
ME .lol loads of good players in W1N who have made a big impact. Good banter and showing attacking is more fun.

4-who do you think made a big impact on the world , but is no longer playing? and why ?
no one. No time for people who aren`t here anymore. I only think of the players who still play.


5-which war do you think was one of the most important wars in the world ? and why ?
W1N v Orc part 1................. Got me noticed, Joined W1N after and proved my worth since then.

6-when was your most difficult time in the world ? (only in game reasons and not personal life matters) .
On my birthday a couple of years back. lost 4 or 5 villas cause I couldn`t get on in time. (drove me nuts )

7-who do you miss on these forums most ?
everyone as its so quiet now. mainly all the tribes at the start of the wars when they say what they are going to do to W1N. Then silence.

 

[DeletedUser1942]

Here goes -

1 - When did you have the most fun in the world and why?
Believe it or not, the TR war that lasted a month lol. K33 was a clogged up continent, all mixed in with each other, and nukes were always close to opponents, so could get on with some good quick offense. Led onto the ORC war which was also great - would have been more fun if both sides of the game needed to be played, defending for instance. But some good Ops during these times.

2 - Was this your first world? if so, who guided you?
No. Although this was the world where i learned how to play properly. Joining W1N helped this, some great guides in the forums, and very good players to chat to on skype.

3 - who do you think made a big impact on the world and is still playing?
Luke Bishop without doubt. Has run W1N from day 1, and created the best tribe to grace the UK server(yes i do mean it)

4 - who do you think made a big impact on the world and is not playing?
LordLazlo. Created the rank 4 family tribe TR - then went inactive as soon as he needed to lead the tribe against W1N. For myself, it amounted to a lot of new targets - and a lot of new territory to move into. Pretty much collapsed the west, leaving noob tribes like ORC to try and hold it(werent going to happen)

5 - Which war was the most important?
W1N vs TR & T4H vs TR. As above really, caused the west to collapse and enabled us to gain dominance there.

6 - when was your most difficult time in the world?
Taking the decision to leave UFA with the Better/Active players to join W1N. Although i enjoyed the UFA days, there wasnt that mentality of actually pushing forward enough to become anything special. Was carrying a lot of deadweight, and when the chance came to take the cream of the crop to W1N - couldnt say no. The fact i wasnt a very good leader helped me make the decision, was way out of my depth - and have enoyed every minute since.
Some of the players were letdowns, and some should have been brought who were left behind(ballo & Kenza for example) overall though was a hard decision, but one i dont regret.

7 - who do you miss on these forums most?
All the gobby sods from ORC, TR, LRAG who started the wars against W1N well - but couldnt maintain it, yet were so far up there own backsides thought they would outflame W1N on these forums - NO CHANCE!!
Would like to see them back though - although with the hammering they recieved, its easy to stay away from the world 1 forum
