Hurry back prince ;)
LOL what else you guys have me do to convince Server28-everybody that I'm
really not in Evony anymore, and glad I did not busy myself with virtual
battlefield because coincidentally my real life country is at the brink of civil
war at this moment since the last three months, and still counting, if the
majority race have had their way. I've been busy in blogs, newspapers, web
forums as well as YouTube, doing what I do best -- Peace. Calling out to
everyone to give peace a chance, even if it would only mean postponing the
long overdue assimilation.
Assuming you guys like to hear some spine-chilling story for a refreshing
change from your Evony toys: Owh, it's nearly a brutal bloody affair here in
my country on July 9, especially when some people thought we could force a
change in my country like how the civilians did it in Tunisia and Egypt. But
this is Malaysia. We were so close to painting the country red; the winners
assimilating, looting and raping the weak ones, quite like what had happened
in Indonesia in 1989. Thanks gawd my country didn't explode in that similar
gruesome scale -- maybe not yet. I'm sure some of you guys come from war-
torn countries and you probably have better stories to tell. But we're not
comparing stories here. I'm telling my story because of what I have
discovered below:
While I was doing my writing, reporting on events, giving opinions about
certain matters, making assessment about the situation and drawing up
worst-case scenarios... while these were taking shapes in my head, for some
uncanny reason, some of the commonsense come from what I had
experienced in this Evony server, especially with regards to political ploy,
mind game, dominance and to what extents the coalition government can
intimidate the oppositions, or in what manner it can pull itself from jaws of
defeat. Believe you me, what is commonsense here is also commonsense in
the political drama in real world. Betrayals, changing side, failed loyalties,
good men die young, second thoughts, afterthoughts, and so on.
Maybe it cannot relate to modern USA, but third world or developed countries
like mine still follow the old rules -- race rules. In here, UBA is the majority
race. My mistake, partly, during our struggle against coalition game, we had
unknowingly given a sense of belonging to them UBA. Now their fellowship
become as strong as a race it's an uphill battle to subdue this UBA race. We
need a miracle for that; I am not the miracle. We need time for that; I can't
buy you times. We need a server merger for that; I have waited too long for
that myself.
This server has evolved into a phenomenon where battle outcomes are no
longer decided by how good is one's combat skill; it's how many people can
one bring into his war party. Dragons are deadly but coalition is the ultimate
weapon in Evony Age I, at least in this server. That I'm sure everyone can agree.
I am not discouraging the Indies-everybody. But if I could import some
knowledge from recent political tension in my real life country to here I have
to say a unified resistence will only make the UBA becoming more unified.
Don't give them reason to unify. That resistence could only turn UBA on its
head if the widespread revolution can finish them off in a matter of days. But
if the attempts are dragged into weeks without much success, and then
months without much success... might as well quit the resistence. Because if
we took that long to do the job... by then all UBA would have a common
cause for survival. When they get into their signature formation they can
finish off even the entire server, or three servers, in one night. The only
reason they did not already is probably because some of them were reluctant.
This server is dying anyway, if it is not dead already.
While the other servers are still improving their game, we dared ourselves to
take our game to a professional level, the dangerous level. Now the
dangerous game has mind of its own we cannot keep up with the new
challenge. At this point we're at a level where we're at a dead end, literally.
What else is there on hilltop after you're finally there, seen it all. You go
downhill, that's the only option now. Or jump off the cliff and liberation alas.
Go back to basic, play this game as it was intended to be played -- a
wargame that shouldn't require you to be online for a freakin six hours
straight; online not by choice but by circumstance. I believe there's more fun
in that than what you're having now. Fun is when we can have time chatting
with buddies, organising an attack or two before logging off. UBA's fault is
they become too strong for the opponents to have fun defending against
UBA; the Indies' fault is they become too weak for the UBA to have fun
attacking the Indies. Either one is no fun. So I presumed. Only my
hypothetical speaking. If you guys think otherwise go ahead with it, spare me
the rebuttals as I won't be here much. My battlefield is out there in Malaysia streets.
Beside, I will have a child in a matter of days, great possibility a boy if the
ultrasound scan is anything realiable. More the reason to celebrate! If by the
time he can walk he straight away goes to gym LOL he definitely picks that
from me. But when in later years he also indulges in Evony battlefield,
neglecting his parents because some virtual army is marching towards his
castle I guess I must say it's my payback for not spending more time talking
to him while he was growing in his mother's womb.
Allow me to return to my newsroom, the real one. You guys stay save ok. Get
out of Evony for a week or two ok. Go to the beach ok. Feel the sun, feel the
breeze, squeeze the man fondle the girl LOL whatever as long as it can help
bring back that wonderful, realistic person you thought you have lost.
Whatever grudges I have with anyone in here, I forget it completely already.
It ain't worth it. Silly that I did. Cheers everyone!
.
That was a very nice post Kris, for once I agree with most of what you said, congrats on the baby and good luck in the real world.
Ello dear, beautiful post, congratulations on your son {daughter if the ultrasound was wrong}. .... convince us ... hmmm nothing ... lie detectors can be tweaked ... so can words. Glad to hear you've let go of your grudges. grudges do no good, trust me. However... as much as I'd like to believe that you're not in our server anymore {your words that you're gone not that you actually are I do miss your writing everyday with my morning coffees}... I believe you are. How else would you know our server is dying, that the indies are almost dead and UBA is becoming stronger and more unified? Nope I believe you are sitting right under our noses somewhere ... if not right under your biggest enemy (or ex grudge as you say). I do think I'll take your advice about the vacation though :cheer: from evony not to the beach though =)
UBA ladies don't forget to RSVP to the party in my castle in Tuscany ;) :princess:
lol ill be there neighbour :)
Turns out...the server is not dead...
What did I see 6 VAULT around 2 UBA after chasing the Titans (I think) away?
tiBattle, tiknight -- tell us about your journeys....
Also got hilarious news that Sassy ported right into an attack, from the person she was porting from cause his last victim left (sounds like a soap opera right?)
I'm not trying to report as much as hear from participants....
Shocked by the activity ;)
lol I sure did, I honestly thought tiBattle was just super quick at searching the map and saw me land not 7 miles from where I left the day before...turns out the waves had already been marching at someone else.
I did stick around a bit longer to have coffee with tiBattle last night, even got lucky and killed some of his instant trans though at the first sight of his massive ummm....mechs....I decided to save my city and my hero :cheer: port port port!!! hehe
...and so continue the days of our Evony lives (cue music) :rofl:
it was a good play by vault, moved in 6 cities in a fairly short period of time, a news flash went out in the UBA that reds were huddled together and Centrion was quick to jump on the bandwagon to help support titans. was nice to see the indies getting organized and fighting back and nice to see the quick and effective support of our fellow uba's
Massive Mechs and still no word from the tibattle?
Must be exercising those big boys out... ;)
im not gona commentate on this since i feel there is nothing worth talking about but will show to you all anyways. enjoy these screen shots
